1 tbsp ginger puree
25g molasses sugar
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp cornflour / arrowroot
40ml tamari
2 tbsp water
Mushrooms:
100g portobello mushrooms, cut into chunks
100g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
2-3 tbsp oil
Cabbage mix:
1/4 small savoy cabbage, shredded
1 red onion, finely sliced into half moons
1⁄2 tsp ginger puree
1⁄2 tsp garlic puree
1 tsp sesame oil
Veg & Noodles:
2 red peppers, cubed
2 carrots, sliced and peeled
90g podded edamame
250g udon noodles
Garnish:
Spring onion, sliced into 2-3mm rounds
3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Small handful cashews
Method
STEP 1
To make the sauce, add all of the ingredients, except for arrowroot, to a saucepan and whisk to combine. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 4-5 minutes. In a small bowl, combine the arrowroot and 2 tbsp of water. Whisk the arrowroot slurry into the sauce, and continue to whisk as the sauce thickens.
STEP 2
To make the mushrooms, heat 2 tbsp of oil in a frying pan. Add 8-10 slices of mushrooms, and let them cook until crisp and brown. Flip and continue to cook on the remaining side. Repeat the process with the remaining mushrooms.
STEP 3
Next, shred the cabbage and add it to a bowl. Add the ginger, garlic and sesame oil and massage it into the cabbage. Pan fry the cabbage for 2-3 minutes, until softened.
STEP 4
In separate batches, pan fry the onions, carrots and red peppers until cooked through. Next, blanch the edamame beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, until cooked.
STEP 5
Next, roast the cashews and sesame seeds in a 180 ̊C oven until golden, around 6-8 minutes.
STEP 6
Cook the udon noodles and stir them through the sauce, along with the mushrooms, red peppers, carrots, cabbage, red onion and edamame beans.
STEP 7
Serve the teriyaki udon topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and cashews.
