OODLES OF NOODLES Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and submerge in boiling water. Season, and set aside to rehydrate, 10-12 minutes. Drain, reserving a cup of noodle water, and rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process.
CARAMELISATION STATION Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the sliced mushrooms and the sliced onions until caramelised, 10-12 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
MAKE THE SAUCE In a small bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, the sesame soy, the tahini, 20ml of sweetener, and 100ml of warm water, and set aside. Return the pan to medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated ginger, the grated garlic, and the chilli flakes (to taste) until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the tahini mixture and simmer until warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
ALL TOGETHER To the pan with the sauce, add the cooked noodles and the caramelised onions and mushrooms, and mix until warmed through. Add a splash of the reserved noodle water if it's too thick, and season.
