1. Fry the ginger, garlic and chilli in 2 T olive oil for 1–2 minutes. Add the celery, water, stock, star anise, peppercorns and 2 T soya sauce and simmer for 30 minutes.

2. Strain, reserving the stock, then bring the stock back to the boil and cook the noodles in it. Add more soya sauce to taste if necessary.

3. Pan-fry the mushrooms until golden, then stir through a dash of honey and the sesame oil and cook until caramelised.
