Method:

To prepare your choice of noodles:

  1. Prepare your zoodles by spiralizing your courgettes or soak your mung bean noodles in cold water.

To prepare your tahini sauce:

  1. Combine all your ingredients for the sauce and mix well. Set aside.

To prepare your vegetable stir-fry:

  1. Sauté your onion and garlic in oil until fragrant.
  2. Add ginger and other spices.
  3. Add your vegetables except for the red cabbage and spinach and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. While your vegetables are cooking, carefully dry roast your silvered almonds on low heat, stirring frequently (at least every 30 seconds) to avoid burning. Roasting takes about 4 minutes. Set aside.
