You can use any kind of noodles for this dish, and really any vegetables, I’ve just included what I normally or prefer to use. If you don’t like something feel free to swap it out for an alternative.
The chopping of the vegetables takes longer than the cooking in this recipe. If you are quick and efficient with a knife you can have it all done in 15 minutes, it usually takes me about 25 minutes to get the meal on the table – quicker than the takeaway in both cases!
I’ve served it here with a piece of salmon, again you can use any fish or meat you have available.
If you are vegetarian, then the noodles would be really nice with a side of purple sprouting broccoli, and I would probably add more veg such as mushrooms and green peppers to bulk it up.

Instructions
