Takeaway-style mushrooms & ‘egg’

Mushrooms are the hero of this satisfying, sweet and salty dish, so if you’re craving ‘egg’ noodles, it’s so much better than ordering in.

To make the meal more substantial, top with crispy tofu or add more veg.

Carrot lox & bagel

Surprisingly easy to make, carrot strips soften in the marinade, becoming deliciously chewy and it has the perfect balance of smoky spices, mimicking the texture and taste of smoked salmon.
