How we made it healthier

This stir-fry packs in lots of veg for flavour, colour and health benefits too. We’ve used wholewheat noodles for fibre, which helps keep your gut healthy. This is tasty without needing stir-fry sauces, which are often high in salt and sometimes sugar. When buying miso paste, choose the one with the lowest salt per 100g and don’t be tempted to add more than stated in the recipe.
