While the noodles cook, peel and grate the garlic into a medium bowl. Add the peanut butter and stir in half the tamari, half the hot pepper oil (the oil is spicy, so use less if you prefer a milder dish. You can add more at the end) and 2 tbsp cold water. Mix well till smooth.

Chop the broccoli into small, bite-size florets and thinly slice the stalk. Trim the roots and dry tips off the spring onions then thinly slice them, keeping the green and white parts separate.

Place a large frying pan or wok on a high heat for 2 mins then pour in 1 tbsp oil. Add the broccoli and stir fry for 5 mins till starting to soften and lightly char. Add the white parts of the sliced spring onions and stir fry for 1 min.
