A really quick noodle dish, that kids will love. As long as you have the base ingredients you can add whichever veg your kids prefer.
I love making this dish when I’ve picked the kids up from school, it’s so quick you can chat and prep at the same time.
It’ll take about 10 mins to prep and then 5 to cook.

Method
1. Peel and finely chop the ginger, garlic and spring onions. Save some of the green part of the onions to top the dish.
2. Put the honey, soy and 5 spice in a dish and whisk together.
3. Cook the noodles, they’ll need 4 mins, then drain and cover in cold water. Put to one side.
4. Prep all the vegetables:
