Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) so it’s ready by the time everything is assembled.

Prepare the Vegetables

  • While the oven heats, prepare your vegetables:
  • Slice the green onions.
  • Finely slice the red pepper.
  • Roughly chop the mushrooms.
  • Halve the baby corn lengthwise.
  • Peel and finely slice the red onion.

Assemble Everything in the Baking Tray

  • In a large baking tray, spread out the noodles, mushrooms, and prepared vegetables.
  • Ensure the noodles are at the bottom so they absorb the sauce properly.

Make the Sauce

  • In a large jug, whisk together all the sauce ingredients, ensuring the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the noodles and vegetables.

Bake to Perfection

  • Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes.
  • Halfway through, give everything a quick stir to ensure even cooking.
  • The dish is ready when the sauce has thickened slightly and the noodles are tender.

  • Garnish with peanuts, a squeeze of lime, and a sprinkle of fresh coriander or chives.
  • Optionally, serve with red sauerkraut for extra tang and colour.

  • Spice Level: Adjust the chilli powder to your heat preference.
Nut-Free Option: Swap peanut butter for tahini or sunflower seed butter.
