Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 300g purple sprouting broccoli
  • 1 stick celery
  • 1 carrot
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • thumb-sized piece ginger
  • 1 red chilli
  • 3 spring onions
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 275g pack ready-cooked egg noodles


Method

Step 1
Heat the sunflower oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Stir-fry the broccoli stalks, celery and carrot for 4-5 minutes or until beginning to caramelise. Add the garlic, ginger, three-quarters of the chilli and the spring onion segments and cook for 2 minutes.

Step 2
Spoon the cornflour into a bowl and stir with a few teaspoons of water to make a thin paste. Add in another 100ml of water, along with the sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Tip into the pan with the broccoli florets and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the sauce has thickened and the florets have cooked through. Add the noodles and toss until reheated.

Step 3
Divide between bowls and top with the remaining chilli and the thinly sliced spring onion.
