250g Pak Choi, finely sliced
120g shiitake mushrooms, sliced
2 handfuls cashew nuts
5 tablespoons dark soy sauce
½ teaspoon Chinese five spice
1 teaspoon agave syrup
150g thread fine straight to wok noodles
2 radishes, finely sliced
Pinch of sesame seeds
Olive oil for frying
Preparation
Heat the olive oil in a wok. Add the ginger, garlic and spring onion. Stir fry for 1 minute to create an infused oil.
Add the Pak Choi and cashew nuts. Gently mix to coat in the oil and stir fry for 2 minutes.
Add the soy sauce, spice and agave syrup. Mix well and stir fry for another minute.
Gently separate the noodles and add them to the wok. Coat them well in the sauce. Cook for 2 more minutes until the noodles are hot.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the sliced radishes. Serve immediately with a few extra slices of radish for garnish and a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top.
