Let’s get cooking

  1. 01

    Cook noodles

    Boil noodles according to their package until just cooked. Drain well; do not let them sit in hot cooking water.

  2. 02

    Cook mushrooms

    Heat neutral oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and stir 3–4 minutes until mushrooms soften.

  3. 03

    Add vegetables

    Add carrot and cabbage with measured water. Toss 3–5 minutes until vegetables are cooked and tender.

  4. 04

    Toss noodles

    Add drained noodles, soy sauce and sesame oil. Use tongs to lift and turn 2–3 minutes until evenly coated and hot.

A little kitchen wisdom

Prepare the sauce and vegetables before the noodles finish so they do not stick in the colander.

Can’t find an ingredient?

Wheat noodles: Use rice noodles cooked according to their package and turn gently to reduce breakage.

Cook safely

Serve freshly cooked; refrigerate perishable leftovers promptly. Check packaged ingredients for allergens.
