Ingredients

2 garlic cloves
1tsp ground ginger
6 spring onions
200g pack mangetout
200g can sweetcorn
200g can water chestnuts
200g can bamboo shoots
1 tsp dried chilli flakes
4 tbs vegatable stock
3 tbs dark soy sauce
1 tsp sugar (optional)
250g pack dried egg noodles.
3oz cashew nuts

Handy Hint

I tend to do this without the cashew nuts, and I occasionally add chicken (stir fry gently at the beginning, or poach in stock first, then slice and add) Also, I only add 2 nests of noodles for 4 people because it makes sooo much. Very tasty, very filling, and again, very cheap to make.

Method

1 Peel and crush garlic. Cut spring onions into 1in pieces. Thinly slice the mangetout
Drain water chestnuts,sweetcorn and bamboo shoots.
2 Put garlic, ginger, spring onions, chilli, soy sauce and sugar into wok/deep frying pan. Heat gently for 4-5 mins.
3 Turn heat up to high and add the mangetout, sweetcorn,water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. Stir fry for 4-5 mins until vegetables are just tender.
4 Meanwhile prepare the noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and add to the vegetables in the frying pan over a high heat.
5 Stir fry for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle over the cashew nuts. Add a squeeze of lime and serve.

This could be potentially gluten free, but obvously using gluten free noodles and gluten free soy sauce.
