  • 250g broccoli, cut into florets

  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • 1 long fresh red chilli, deseeded, finely chopped

  • extra fresh chilli, finely chopped, to serve

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Step 1

  • Step 2

    Heat the remaining tbsp peanut oil in the wok. Stir-fry the broccoli, garlic and chilli for 2 minutes or until tender crisp. Add the cabbage and zucchini noodles. Stir-fry for 1 minute or until just tender.

Recipe Notes

Tips:

Many people toss away the broccoli stem, but you can eat it too. Make sure it’s finely sliced so it cooks in the same time as the florets.

Instead of buying zucchini noodles, you can make your own if you have a spiraliser. Sweet potato or carrot noodles would work too. Just increase the cooking time slightly until tender.
