  • Onion: 2-4 tbsp crispy onions from a tub
  • Carrot: 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
  • Courgette: 1/2 large courgette, cut into matchsticks
  • Sesame Oil: 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • Noodles: 100g dried wholewheat noodles
  • Yuzu Juice: 2 tbsp Yuzu juice (or 2 limes, juiced)

Directions

  1. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 mins or until tender. Drain and leave to cool.
  2. Place a large non-stick pan (or wok) over a medium-high heat and add the groundnut oil. When hot, add the red pepper and cook for 2-3 mins until slightly softened. Add the courgette and edamame, and cook for a further 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.
  3. Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, or 2 jars if taking to work, then season.
  4. Divide the noodles between 2 jars or plastic containers and top with the cooled vegetables, beansprouts, carrot, spinach, crispy onions and coriander. Add the dressing just before eating.
