Method

step 1

Cook the noodles following pack instructions. Combine the lime juice, tamari, grated garlic and chilli in a small bowl. Set aside.
step 2

Heat the oil in a non-stick wok or large, wide pan over a high heat and stir-fry the onions, ginger and pepper for 5 mins until softened (add the chopped garlic for the last minute). Stir in the curry powder and cook for a minute more. Add the beansprouts and continue cooking until the beansprouts start to soften and are piping hot. Mix in the tahini.
step 3

Push the veg to the side of the wok and pour in the egg – you may need a drop more oil. Stir-fry the eggs so they are mostly set, then stir the veg into the egg and add the noodles and coriander, then toss to combine. Pile into bowls and serve with the sauce on the side.

Recipe tip

Eggs are a great source of hard-to-get nutrients like vitamin D and B12, as well as the mineral iodine.
