2 nests dried noodles (egg, wholewheat or rice)
200g leftover raw veg (eg green beans, broccoli, spring greens, asparagus or a mixture), cut into 3-4cm lengths
10g ginger, finely grated (optional)
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp sunflower oil (or olive or sesame)
½ tbsp vinegar (white wine, red wine or apple cider)
1 tsp clear honey (or maple syrup)
2 tbsp peanut butter
1 pinch chilli flakes (optional)
1 handful soft herbs (eg parsley, coriander or mint), roughly chopped (optional)
1 handful toasted chopped nuts (optional)

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the noodles and cook according to pack instructions, adding the veg for the final 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. (If using rice noodles, steam the vegetables separately for 2-3 minutes until tender.)
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the ginger (if using), soy sauce, oil, vinegar, honey, peanut butter and chilli flakes (if using). Add the drained veg and noodles; toss through with most of the herbs. Divide between 2 bowls, scattering over the remaining herbs and the toasted nuts (if using). Eat straight away.
