Colourful vegetable noodles that children love

Noodles are a definite favourite with the children at our centres. We find the stir fry vegetable noodles are a great way to get children to sample a range of colourful vegetables whilst enjoying the salty and sweet sauce that accompanies the noodles.

This vegetable stir fry recipe is nut-free and was created by our Westmead Centre’s chef, Kalpna. It features delicious ramen noodles, colourful vegetables in a soy and mirin sauce. This is a classic weeknight recipe that will keep your children full, happy and healthy.
