Before you start

Mixing bowl | Saucepan | High speed blender | Large frying pan

For the quick-pickled cucumber

  • Finely slice the cucumber into rounds and add it to one of the medium bowls with the rice vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir it all together and set aside to pickle

For the noodles

  • Cook the noodles as per instructions on the packet
  • Whilst the noodles are cooking, prepare the green sauce and mushrooms

For the green sauce

  • Place the ingredients for the green sauce into the cup of a high speed blender and blitz until smooth and velvety. You may need to add more liquid so that it is a pourable consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning

For the mushrooms

  • Cut the mushrooms into desired size
  • Trim and slice the spring onions 
  • Peel and grate the garlic and ginger and add them to a small bowl with the soy sauce, rice vinegar and maple syrup
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot add the mushrooms. Saute for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are soft. Stir through the prepared spring onion and cook for another minute
  • Lower the heat to low and add the prepared sauce, cook for 1-2 minutes until the mushrooms have soaked up all of the liquid, then stir through the sesame seeds
  • Keep warm until ready to serve

Divide between bowls and serve

  • Divide the noodles into two bowls and top with the mushrooms, cucumber pickle and a drizzle of the green sauce
  • Serve immediately
