Notes:

Inevitably you can substitute out plenty of the ingredients in this dish for other ingredients.

Don’t want noodles – put in bean sprouts instead.

Got some carrots – slice them really finely and chuck them in

Want some extra spice? Chuck in some grate Horseradish root or Cornish wild wasabi leaf or some Sea Radish Leaves.
