Method
- Fill a saucepan with water and a generous pinch of salt and bring it to the boil. Add the noodles and boil until soft but still with some bite (around 5 minutes).
- While the noodles are cooking, heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and add the onion and salt. Once it begins to soften, add the garlic, ginger and green chilli and cook out with the onions for a few minutes.
- Add the curry powder followed by the chopped vegetables, soy sauce, vinegar and sriracha. Stir-fry until the vegetables are cooked but still nice and crunchy. Add the noodles to the wok along with a spoon of their cooking water and toss them through the vegetables and sauce.
- Take the pan off the heat and add the lime juice. Taste for seasoning. Serve topped with sliced spinning onions, chopped coriander and toasted cashews.
