  4. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large fry-pan or wok on high heat. Stir-fry all vegetables for about 3 minutes until wilted but still crunchy, remove from pan and set aside.
  5. Place noodles in a large, heat-proof, bowl and cover with boiling water. Use a fork to separate strands and leave to soak for 2 minutes then drain well. Add a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
