Sometimes all we want is something simple to make that isn’t going to create an explosion of pots and pans to wash up afterwards. A mountain of vegetables in a rich, aromatic, velvety umami sweet chilli sauce, served over noodles or steamed rice, is just the ticket.

SERVES

Three to four

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tbsp oil

  • 1 onion, roughly diced

  • 1 tsp grated garlic

  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 red pepper, roughly diced

  • 1 courgette, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 60g long-stem broccoli, cut into small florets

  • 6-8 baby corn cobs

  • 1 medium aubergine, cut into bite-sized pieces

For the sauce

  • 125ml light soy sauce

  • 3 tbsp brown sugar

  • 2 tsp dried chilli flakes

  • 1 tbsp honey (vegan option: use agave or maple syrup)

METHOD

  1. Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a bowl, mix well and set to one side.

  2. Heat the oil in a wok over a medium-high heat, add the onion, garlic and ginger and fry until fragrant and the onion is translucent.

  3. Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry for three to four minutes. Add the sauce mixture, bring to the boil and simmer for three minutes.

  4. Serve on top of freshly steamed rice or noodles.
