Ingredients

vegetable oil 2 tsp
garlic 1 clove, crushed
ginger a thumb-sized piece, shredded
red chilli 1, thinly sliced
shiitake mushrooms 125g, halved
oyster sauce 1 tbsp
light soy sauce ½ tbsp
chicken stock 1 litre
vacuum-packed cooked udon noodles 300g
spring greens 200g, shredded

Method

Step 1

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and cook the garlic, ginger and ¾ of the red chilli for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook gently for 5 minutes until beginning to soften then add the oyster and soy sauce and the chicken stock and simmer for another 5 minutes. Add the udon noodles and spring greens and cook for a few minutes to reheat the noodles and wilt the greens.
Step 2

Spoon into 2 bowls and sprinkle over the remaining chilli, if you like.
