Supposedly so-called because they are the perfect match for a chilled beer, or indeed for a hangover. However, even without the sore head, these aromatic spicy noodles will really hit the spot.

After a recent stay in a house with a limited kitchen, my love for one-pan dishes has grown astronomically. This dish is a super quick one too – vermicelli rice noodles come alive with only a brief lick of boiling stock so there’s no faffing about. Add to this a heap of tender, stir-fried vegetables and you’re week is off to a really healthy and wholesome start. Recipe from my new book Eat.Live.Go which can be ordered here.
