This speedy dinner with ginger, garlic, chilli and soy is perfect on a weeknight – the frozen stir-fry veggies keep prep to a minimum

Ingreadient

  • 225g vermicelli rice noodles
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp curry powder (medium or mild)
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • 4 tbsp shaoxing wine
  • ½ tsp ground white pepper
  • 1 tbsp ginger, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 red chilli, finely chopped, plus extra to serve
  • 320g stir-fry vegetable mix (a mix of shredded pepper, onion, bean spouts, carrot and cabbage)

Direction

    1. Put the noodles in a heatproof bowl and pour over a kettle of just-boiled water. Leave to soak for 2-3 minutes or until softened. Drain well. Mix the curry powder, turmeric, soy, sugar, wine and pepper in a small bowl.
    2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok over a high heat and, once hot, fry the ginger, garlic and chilli. Stir fry for 1 minute until fragrant then tip in the vegetable mixture. Stir fry for another 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables have softened slightly but still retain a crunch.
    3. Pour in the sauce and the drained noodles into the wok, and toss everything together for 2 minutes until piping hot. Season with a pinch of salt or more soy sauce, to taste, and serve.
