What you will need:

1 small butternut or half a large.

2 handfuls of greens (cabbage, kale) washed and shredded (thinly sliced) or a bag of spinach roughly chopped.

Spring onions - washed and finley sliced

1 pack of firm tofu chopped into cubes

Olive oil

A spiralizer to make the boodles, these are very easy to get hold of for as little as £10. Really worth getting one as you make heaps with it.

2 tbsp of peanut butter

2 tbsp of Tamari or good soy sauce

3 garlic cloves peeled & grated

1 x 3 inch piece of fresh ginger peeled & grated

The juice of 2 limes

2 tsps of maple syrup

Let's make the Boodle noodles:
