    These Sweet Chilli Noodles with exotic mushrooms are so quick and easy to make, and taste incredible, with crunchy cashews and sweet chilli sauce.

    20 Min Meals | Vegetarian & Vegan

    These noodles are incredibly quick and easy to make (10 minutes if you put your mind to it!), and taste fantastic too. Just the sort of dinner we've been eating a lot of since baby #2 arrived six weeks ago.

    I'm quickly re-learning the art of one-handed cooking, and eating a meal whilst it is still hot with both a knife and fork seems a dim and distant memory!

    Variety packs of fresh 'exotic' or 'speciality' mushrooms are now sold in most supermarkets, or you can use a mixture of shiitake, oyster, enoki and any other exotic varieties you can get hold of. They aren’t the cheapest mushrooms around, but the combination of textures and flavours are well worth it.

    Sweet chilli sauce really isn’t particularly spicy, so if you want to turn up the heat a little, add a thinly sliced red chilli to the pan with the mushrooms.

    Who needs a takeaway when this will be on the table in less than 15 minutes?!

      Who needs to order chinese when I can just make this? I had this yesterday and the second portion I had today for my lunch at work, it was absolutely delicious. This recipe is super full of flavour and the cashews add texture. I added some stir fry vegetables too, good idea!! thankyou so much for this recipe. I started a vegetarian diet 3 weeks ago and this website has been helping me out a lot with learning to cook more veggie dishes. Definately would reccomend!

      Very quick and easy to make. I started off with my frying pan and then transferred to my work to stir through properly. I also added pak choi. Absolutely delicious.

      What a perfect supper that is quick and easy to make for new mothers. Congratulations with your latest addition to the family. Get used to people being too afraid to say "gay" and instead turn him into a girl, called Gabrielle. 😉

      Who needs takeaway when you can make meals like this at home. We love using as many different mushrooms as we can in our meals.
