In this quick stir-fried noodle dish I slice my beans lengthways so they don’t need to be boiled separately, and use cashews to add protein. 

Recipe adapted from Vegan One Pound Meals by Miguel Barclay (£16.99, Headline)

• Pre-cook or soak the rice noodles according to the packet instructions.
• Meanwhile, pan-fry the onion in a splash of sesame oil over a high heat for about 30 seconds, then add the garlic and chilli flakes.
• Just before the garlic starts to brown, add the beans, carrot matchsticks and cashew nuts and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened. 
• Add the curry powder and a splash of soy sauce, then mix in the drained noodles, season with salt and pepper and serve.
