  • On a low heat, heat up the the oil in a pan and after a minute or so add the carrot. Keep stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes.
    The heat should be low so that the carrot doesn’t caramelise.

  • Pour the water into the pan and bring to boil on medium heat. Once boiling, lower the heat and simmer for 5 more minutes.
    Add the cauliflower, peas and corn and simmer for further 5 minutes.
    In the mean time, in another pan boil some water and prepare the noodles according to cooking instructions on the pack. I usually cook them for around 5 minutes until soft and then drain but double check the instruction in case they need to cook for a bit longer.

Notes

If you find long noodles difficult or tricky to eat simply break them into smaller pieces before cooking.
