20-minute dinner: Derval O'Rourke's Midweek Noodles

Had a busy day and forgot to plan your dinner? This store cupboard noodle stir fry is here to save the day

The straight-to-wok noodles make very light work of this delicious dinner.

Midweek is a tough time to get healthy dinners in. The household can be chaotic (or maybe that’s just my house!) and finding time to get a healthy dinner cooked is hard.

This stir fry is a staple in my home. It’s a healthy, tasty and fast mid-week dinner. I love this after a gym session in the evening. The straight-to-wok noodles make very light work of this delicious dinner.
