Method

For the sauce, put most of the walnuts in a food processor with the ginger, garlic, maple syrup, soy sauce and lime zest and juice. Blitz smooth, then add 3 tbsp water and ½ chilli. Blend again until smooth. Add more chilli to taste, if you like.
Cook the soya beans to pack instructions on the hob. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl using a slotted spoon, reserving the water. Add the noodles to the water and cook to pack instructions. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat a wok or frying pan over a medium heat and toast the reserved walnuts for 2-3 mins, tossing often to ensure they don’t burn. Tip onto a plate. Add the oil to the pan and fry the mushrooms and stir-fry veg for 2-3 mins until beginning to soften, then add the drained noodles and beans.
Toss to warm everything through, then add the sauce and toss again to coat, adding a splash of water, if needed, to loosen. Divide among plates, then crumble over the toasted walnuts and scatter with coriander, if you like.
