INGREDIENTS

500g rice noodles — cooked
250ml vegetable stock
Half a medium onion — shredded
6 cloves garlic — crushed
1 cup snow peas
6 large fresh chillies — seeds removed and shredded
1 large carrot
1 cup baby corn — cut in half, lengthwise

METHOD

Blanche the vegetables in boiling water. Plunge into cold water to chill, drain well and set aside. In a wok or large non-stick frying pan, place a little of the vegetable stock with the onion and the garlic. Cook until transparent and almost dry, adding a little extra stock if the mix becomes too dry. Carefully pull the rice noodles apart and add to the wok or pan. Toss well, adding a little extra vegetable stock as necessary. Add the cooked vegetables and chillies to taste. Toss well to heat through. Season with soy sauce and lastly add the basil leaves. Mix well and serve.
