To make in the Thermocook
Pour the boiling water into the jug, add the soy sauce and bouillon powder.
Place the noodles into the jug, they will stand up in the stock.
Put on the lid and cook on STEAM for 2 minutes, pause cooking and push the noodles down, they will have softened enough to fit in the stock.
Place the vegetables (except the red pepper) in the basket and place over the noodles and stock, sprinkle the grated ginger over the vegetables.
Replace the lid and STEAM again for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are just cooked and no more.
Remove the basket, pour the stock and noodles into a bowl, top with the steamed vegetables and fresh red pepper strips.
Sprinkle over a tsp of sesame oil and enjoy.
Notes
If you don't have a Thermocook then use a medium sized pan with a tight lid. If you have a steamer that sits on top, use that, if not then simply add the vegetables to the pan and put on the lid. You can even make this recipe in a jug in the microwave, particularly handy if you want to make it for lunch at work.Experiment with flavours and add your own favourite ingredients to the Noodle Bowl.
