Sweet chilli udon with peppers and mangetout

Method

  1. Slice both peppers into thin strips, halve the mangetout, crush the garlic, grate the ginger and slice the spring onion. In a small bowl, mix the sweet chilli sauce and tamari.
  2. Loosen the udon in a bowl of just-boiled water for 1 minute, then drain well.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Stir-fry the peppers for 4 minutes until softened and charred in places.
  4. Add the mangetout, garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  5. Add the udon and the sauce and toss for 2 to 3 minutes, until the noodles are hot and glossy.
  6. Take off the heat and stir through the sesame oil.
  7. Top with the spring onion to serve.

Tip Fresh vacuum-packed udon is the easiest. Dried udon needs boiling to the packet time instead of the quick soak.
