Ingredients you'll need

  • 40g peanut butter
  • 50g tamari
  • 10-20ml hot pepper oil
  • A head of broccoli

From your kitchen
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 1 tbsp olive, sunflower or coconut oil
You'll need
  • Medium pan with lid

Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Fill your kettle and boil it, then fill a medium pan with the hot water from the kettle. Place on a high heat, bring back to the boil, then add the noodles and simmer for 8-10 mins till the noodles are tender but still with a little bite. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  • 2.

    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.

  • 3.

    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.

  • 4.

    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.

  • 5.

    Drain the noodles if you haven't done so already. Add to the frying pan then pour in the peanut butter sauce. Stir everything together for 2 mins to heat the noodles and sauce.

  • 6.

    Divide the noodles between a couple of plates. Scatter over the reserved spring onion greens and drizzle over some hot pepper oil to taste.
