Ingredients:
1 tbsp reduced-salt soy sauce
½ tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp gochujang
1 tbsp mirin
½ large, or 1 small celeriac, peeled and cut into 1cm cubes
200g wholewheat, buckwheat or brown rice noodles
180g cucumber, diced
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp maple syrup or runny honey
180g edamame, blanched or defrosted
100g radishes, diced
2 spring onions, sliced
1 tsp black or white sesame seeds
a handful of leaves coriander and mint, to serve
Directions:
-Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Whisk together the soy, sesame oil, gochujang and mirin in a small bowl, then pour over the celeriac in a small baking tray. Toss well and roast for 35-40 minutes until the celeriac is sticky and glazed.
-When the celeriac is almost ready, cook the noodles following pack instructions, then rinse under cold water. Put the cucumber in a bowl and toss with the vinegar and maple syrup.
-Add the cooked noodles to the baking tray and toss with the celeriac and gochujang sauce. Add 1-2 tbsp of just-boiled water to loosen the sauce and coat the noodles. Mix well until everything is combined and saucy.
-Divide the noodles between bowls, top with the pickled cucumber, edamame, radishes and spring onions. Scatter with the sesame seeds and herbs to serve.
