Background

I cook pasta or noodles on busy or lazy days because within 15 minutes it’s so easy to create a tasty and filling dish. One of my favourite recipes is this Noodles with shiitake and green beans – it’s vegan, healthy, tasty and super quick to make! It can be spiced up with a sprinkle of chilli flakes too.

Ingredients

150g shitake mushrooms
1 clove of garlic
1 tsp groundnut oil
100g green beans
1 bunch spring onions
1 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 Tbsp sesame seeds
100g Rice vermicelli noodles

Instructions

Thinly slice the mushrooms and roughly chop the garlic. Cut the each green bean into 3 pieces.
Heat the groundnut oil in a frying pan over medium heat. When it’s hot, add the mushroom and cover. Turn down the heat and sauté for 5 minutes until the mushrooms have released some liquid. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds.
Meanwhile cook the rice noodles in hot water according to the packet instructions. This should take 5 minutes. Drain and keep it in the pan, covered with a lid.
Add the soy sauce, lemon juice, chopped spring onion and the beans to the mushrooms, put the lid on and cook for 3-5 minutes over low heat until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the sesame oil. Taste, add more lemon juice or tamari, if needed. Add the cooked noodles, then gently toss.
Serve with the sesame seeds sprinkled on top.
