| 1 | fennel bulb, sliced, core removed |
| 150g | small broccoli florets |

Method
Place the coconut in a jug of warm water. Cover and leave for 20 minutes, then strain the coconut through a sieve and reserve the liquid.
Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan and cook the spring onions, garlic, fennel, and broccoli for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the beans and cook for 4–5 minutes. Add the vinegar, soy sauce and 4 tbsps of reserved coconut water. Mix, then cook for 1 minute and take off the heat.
Add the beansprouts and the drained coconut. Sprinkle the coriander on top and mix everything together well.
Cook and drain the noodles as instructed on the packet. Spoon a portion into each of your serving bowls.
Spoon your Stir Fry on top of the noodles. Sprinkle sesame seeds and cashews on top. This will give the dish a crunchy and interesting texture.
