Method
step 1
Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a wok or large frying pan and add the peppercorns. Cook for a minute, then add the chilli, garlic and ginger, and fry for another minute.
step 2
Add the soy sauce, peanut butter and stock, and simmer for a few minutes, stirring until everything comes together. Add a splash more water if you need to – it should be saucy enough to coat the noodles. Add the noodles and vegetables, and toss until heated through. Serve sprinkled with extra chilli and spring onions, if you like.
