Method
- Cut the courgettes in half lengthways and slice them into 1 cm half moons. Cut the red pepper into strips, slice the garlic and spring onions, drain the sweetcorn and halve the lime.
- Cook the ramen noodles in a pan of boiling water for the time on the packet, usually 3 to 4 minutes. Drain and give them a quick rinse so they do not stick.
- Warm the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Put in the courgette and red pepper and cook for 5 minutes, stirring only now and then, until golden in places and tender.
- Add the garlic and sweetcorn and stir for 1 minute.
- Tip in the noodles, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and spring onions and toss for 2 minutes, until hot and glossy.
- Squeeze over the juice of half the lime and serve with the other half cut into wedges.
Tip Courgettes release water, so cook them over a high heat and stir only now and then. They should colour and not stew.
