Calories: 510kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- 1 mild red chilli, finely chopped (see notes below)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 400 g tin chickpeas, drained (240g, or ~ 1 1/4 cups, when drained)
- 450 g (~ 1 lb) mixed stir fry vegetables (I used baby corn, mange tout, yellow pepper, mushrooms and tenderstem broccoli)
- 3 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon honey (or agave)
- 300 g fresh noodles (I used egg noodles)
- 1/2 Tablespoon sesame seeds
- Few sprigs fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok or large, deep frying pan. Add the finely chopped chilli and garlic, along with the drained chickpeas. Cook over a medium-high heat for a few minutes, until fragrant.
- Add all of the vegetables and stir-fry for another 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables are just tender.
- Move the vegetables to the side of the pan to create a space in the centre. Add the soy sauce and honey to the space, and allow the sauce to begin bubbling and sizzling. Cook for a minute or so, then add the noodles and mix everything together.
- Cook over a medium-high heat for a few more minutes, until the noodles are hot and the vegetables are cooked to your liking. Serve with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro, if desired.
Notes
I would recommend using a mild chilli. You can always add more if needed, but if you add a chilli that ends up being too hot, you may spoil the dish. If you'd prefer a mild heat, remove the seeds.
