It feels tender and satisfying without being heavy, which is great.

What really really sets it apart is the aromatic mix of soy sauce, a splash of sweet mirin, and some grated ginger.

How to prepare Noodles with vegetables

To prepare the noodles with vegetables, first focus on cutting the vegetables. Trim and peel the carrots 1, then cut them into julienne strips with a thickness of 1/8 inch 2. Do the same for the zucchini 3.

Remove the stem, seeds, and internal filaments of the peppers 4, then cut them into julienne strips 5 6.

Cut off the green part of the leek, slice it into rounds of 1/5 inch thickness 7. Also slice the chili pepper into rounds 8 and the onion into julienne strips 9.

In a bowl, pour the soy sauce and add the mirin 10, also add the grated ginger 11 and garlic 12.

In a wok pan, pour the sunflower oil and, once it's hot, add the onion 13 and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the carrots 14 and zucchini 15.

Continue with the peppers 16, then season with salt 17 and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The vegetables should be cooked but still crispy. Turn off the heat and pour the soy sauce into the pan 18.

Add the bean sprouts 19 and mix. Cook the noodles in plenty of salted boiling water 20, for the time indicated on the package, drain them, transfer them to the pan 21 and mix again.

Plate and finish with some leek rings, the chili pepper 22, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a few coriander leaves 23. The vegetable noodles are ready to be enjoyed 34.

Storage

Vegetable noodles should be consumed as soon as they're ready, but if there are leftovers, you can store them in the refrigerator, in a closed container, for up to 2 days. Before serving them again, heat them in a pan with a drizzle of oil or a tablespoon of soy sauce.

Advice

For a richer dish, you can add shredded chicken, shrimp, or diced tofu. Varying the vegetables according to the season is always a great idea, so you can use broccoli, shiitake mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, or bamboo shoots. If you like, you can also add teriyaki sauce.
