Carrot and Courgette Noodle Stir-Fry [Vegan]

Don't be discouraged if your noodles don't turn out very pretty the first time around. Mine were short and ugly and very un-noodle-like the first time I tried making them. Practice makes perfect! (Or pretty.) Mine sometimes turn out a bit more like slaw, but oh well. It still tastes... Read More

How to Prepare Carrot and Courgette Noodle Stir-Fry [Vegan]

For the stir-fry
  1. Wash your vegetables and peel them if you like. Spiralise the courgette and carrot into noodles (with a peeler, a grater or a spiraliser - whatever you have on hand. I use a mandolin slicer, and sometimes a grater.) Set aside for now.
  2. Place a wok over medium heat and drizzle the sesame oil in it. Toss the peanuts about in the oil until they are lightly toasted on all sides, then add the onion, chilli and mangetout and sauté for another five minutes. Lastly add the noodles, sauté for two minutes and take off the heat.
  3. Serve with the sauce and fresh parsley.
For the sauce
  1. Blend all ingredients till you obtain a smooth, thin paste. Add more or less water depending on the power of your blender and your personal preference (I like a thin sauce so I can coat every noodle with it.) The lemongrass will leave a few strings, but that can't be helped (and it doesn't taste bad.)
