Can I Use Snow Peas In The Noodles With Mushrooms And Mangetouts?

Our answer

Nigella's Noodles With Mushrooms and Mangetouts (from HOW TO EAT) is a very flexible recipe that has a base of egg (chow mein style) noodles that are stir fried with spring onions (scallions) and vegetables. You can also add quick-cooking proteins such as chicken, prawns (shrimp) or tofu.

Mangetouts are the same as snow peas and for the US if you slide across the "cups" toggle at the top of the ingredients list it will show the US equivalent ingredients. However, if mangetouts/snow peas are difficult to find then you can substitute other ingredients according to what you have available. You just need to make sure that they will cook fairly quickly. Some suggestions could be thinly sliced red (bell) peppers, baby corn cut into halves or quarters lengthways or green (French) beans cut into two or three pieces. You could even just increase the amount of mushrooms instead (or use a variety of mushrooms).
