Put a pan of salted water on to boil. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Peel the carrot and use a vegetable peeler to shave ribbons off it. When you've peeled it down to a thin core, use a sharp knife to finely slice the carrot core. Halve, quarter or slice the shiitake mushrooms, depending on how big they are. Finely slice the cavolo nero, discarding any dry ends.

You’ll have 2 nests of noodles leftover. They store well and are great for soups, salads and stir-fries. Simply cook following the packet instructions, then toss with a wok of stir fried veg or add to a bowl of shredded veg with a spicy lime and peanut dressing.
