Method
step 1
Put the noodles in a large bowl, cover with boiling water for 4 minutes, then drain and quickly rinse with cold water.
step 2
Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce, orange juice and zest with the sugar and cornflour and set aside. Heat the oil in a wok, add the ginger and garlic and fry for 1 minute. Add the sherry and the peppers and fry for a minute more. Tip in the rest of the vegetables, except the water chestnuts and spring onions, and fry for another 3 minutes.
step 3
Stir in the water chestnuts and spring onions, keeping a few spring onions for a garnish. Add the sauce and noodles and stir fry until hot. Sprinkle with the remaining spring onions and serve straight from the wok.
