This Cantonese dish packs a super-savoury punch and is so quick and easy.
Serves
2
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp garlic paste, or 2 garlic cloves, crushed and finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and sliced into 5cm batons
  • 1 red onion, thickly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, peeled and sliced into thin 5cm batons
  • 120g fresh shiitake mushrooms, or 30g dried, soaked according to packet instructions
  • 55g mangetout or green beans
  • 1⁄4 tsp sea salt
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground white pepper
  • 400g fresh dan dan noodles
  • For the stir-fry sauce
  • 1⁄2 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Method

Heat the oil in a wok over a high heat. Add the garlic, onion, carrot, celery, mushrooms and mangetout or green beans and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, mixing well. Season with the salt and pepper, then add your noodles and the stir-fry sauce ingredients.

Toss it all together over a high heat for three minutes so it’s nicely coated. Pile the noodles high on a large serving plate. Serve immediately for the mushroom lover(s) in your life.
