Moving to a beautiful village with pretty much one street has so many advantages.  The peace and quiet, the community – turns out the less people there are the friendlier and more welcoming they get!  There are no street lamps here so the night sky is a vista of lights and people grow their own produce … and are VERY happy to share.

However, you might view the fact that there are no shops within walking distance and almost no takeaways that deliver (or at least none without a hefty delivery fee) to be a disadvantage.  Now I don’t miss pizza (I so prefer my own!) but I do miss a good Chinese takeaway from time to time.  I think it’s something they put in the sauce.  And so to curb the cravings these garlic butter miso noodles were born.

I was also a recent recipient of a new to me little bottle of joy from Foodie Flavours.  Namely their Butter flavouring.  Which smelt so good I even called my neighbour over to come and have a sniff.  Small communities I tell you.

As with all Foodie Flavours extracts, essences and flavourings a little goes a long way and it’s so easy to adjust the amount you add to your own preference or taste.

Vegan butter in itself isn’t bad flavour wise but it lacks that, well, butteryness of actual butter.  And I wanted to keep this recipe really simple, but build in the flavours from minimal ingredients.  Because if you decide you’re going to cook rather than pick up the phone/tap that app you don’t want a lot of faff and a million ingredients.

How to make these easy vegan noodles:

Put all the sauce ingredients into a wok and stir together.  This is the foundation of your dish but simple ingredients, combined well, can work wonders.

Bubble gently – this takes the rawness out of the garlic and infuses everything together.

Whisk a little water into the cornflour to make a runny paste then add to the wok, stirring until it thickens and makes a glossy sauce.  Pour into a bowl.

Give the wok a quick wipe out then saute the mushrooms in a little sesame oil, stirring from time to time until they soften and start to colour.  Once golden brown add some more butter drops and the spring onions, peas and sweetcorn.

Return the sauce to the pan along with the noodles and stir well to heat thoroughly heat the noodles.

Dish up and tuck in!  How easy was that?! 😉
