SOBA NOODLES WITH GINGER BROTH AND CRUNCHY GINGER

Steps:

• First, prepare the toppings: Add 4 tablespoons oil to a large skillet and heat gently over medium. Place the red-pepper (chilli) flakes and paprika into a small heatproof bowl. Once the oil is quite hot but not smoking, pour it over the spices. Set aside to infuse as you make the ginger crumbs.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the same skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, turn the heat back down to medium and add the ginger and shallot. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until nicely browned and starting to crisp. Add the panko, sesame seeds and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cook for 4 to 6 minutes more, stirring often, until nicely toasted. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Meanwhile, make the broth: Add all the broth ingredients plus 3/4 cup/200 milliliters water and 1 teaspoon salt to a medium lidded saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cover once simmering, turn the heat down to low and cook for 25 minutes. Drain through a sieve set over a bowl, discarding the solids, and return the broth to the saucepan along with another 1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters hot water. Keep warm over low heat until ready to serve.
• Prepare the noodles: Boil them in a pot or saucepan according to package instructions, or for 5 minutes in plenty of boiling water. Drain well and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Return the drained noodles to the pot or saucepan and toss with the lime juice, soy sauce and cilantro (coriander).
• Divide the warm broth across four bowls, then use a fork to twist and gather the noodles and nest them artfully in the bowls. Top with a spoonful of the ginger crumbs and the chile oil, serving the remaining alongside.

COCONUT CURRY NOODLE BOWL

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic, chilli (if using) and ginger, and fry on a low heat for about 5 mins until softened. Add the curry powder and stir, frying for 1 min more until aromatic. Add the soy sauce and sriracha (if using), and stir again. Pour in the coconut milk, breaking up any solids on the top of the can with a spoon. Stir until combined, then leave the sauce on a medium heat with a lid on to simmer for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the nuts in a bowl and mix with the soy sauce and maple syrup until fully coated. Scatter the nuts on a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray, and roast for 10-12 mins, stirring halfway through.
• While the nuts are roasting, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan. When hot, add the veg and stir-fry for 3-4 mins until slightly softened. Add the noodles and fry for another 2 mins until heated through.
• Take both pans off the heat and pour the coconut sauce into the wok (or add the noodles to the saucepan) and stir until everything is coated in the sauce. Spoon into bowls and scatter over the nuts and coriander.

Add the cauliflower, season with sea salt and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Add the garlic and corn and toss for another minute. Remove from the wok or pan and set aside.
• Drain the vermicelli. Return the wok or pan to medium heat, add about 2 tablespoons of oil and the shawarma spice and cook for 15-20 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Add the vermicelli, along with a bit more oil, and toss until the noodles are heated through and thoroughly coated in the spice mix. Return the cauliflower mixture to the pan, along with the peas, 2-3 big pinches of sea salt and a pinch of white pepper, and toss until everything is well mixed and the peas are cooked, about 1-2 minutes.
