KALE AND BROAD BEAN NOODLES 

   (Serves 3-4)

 

Topping:                                       

25g/1oz rolled oats,

50g/2oz whole meal breadcrumbs,

15ml/1 tbsp wheat germ,

1oz/25g grated edam,

Salt and pepper,

 

 

15ml/1 tbsp sunflower oil,

5ml/1 tsp ground cumin,

1 medium onion, chopped,

150g/5oz kale, finely shredded

100g/4oz peeled turnip, diced into

1cm cubes,

15ml/1 tbsp light soy sauce,

225ml/8fl.oz light soy sauce,

175g/6oz cooked broad beans,

175g/6oz medium egg noodles,

400ml/14fl.oz semi-skimmed milk,

30ml/2 tbsp corn flour,

2.5ml/0.5 tsp English mustard powder,

Salt and white pepper,

50g/2oz grated edam.

 

1) Firstly make the topping.  Mix together the ingredients in a basin and place to one side.

2) Heat the oil in a wok or a large non-stick frying pan above a high heat.  When the oil starts to smoke stir in the cumin and immediately toss in the onion, kale and the turnip.  Stir-fry for 2 minutes, add the soy sauce and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

3) Reduce the heat to low, pour on the stock, cover and simmer for 4 minutes.

4) Meanwhile bring a pan of water to the boil.  Stir in the noodles and allow to boil for 4 minutes.  Drain.

5) Turn on the grill.  Add the broad beans to the wok/pan and stir in the milk.  Cover and bring to the boil whilst you blend the corn flour with the mustard powder and a drop of water to form a smooth paste.  When the liquid boils reduce the heat and stir in the corn flour paste.  Simmer for 2 minutes, stirring gently but frequently, and then add the noodles.  Heat through and then stir in the grated edam. 

6) Sprinkle evenly with the topping and place under the pre-heated grill until golden brown.
