  1. TOASTED SEEDS & CHILLI OIL

    Boil the kettle for step 2. Place the sesame seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly browned, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Keep the pan on the heat and add a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ¾ of the sliced chilli for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. On completion, transfer both the chilli and oil to a small bowl and set aside to infuse.

  2. TANGY NOODLES

    Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Give them a stir, cover with a plate, and set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and glassy. Drain on completion and return to the bowl. Toss through some oil and ½ of the vinegar, and set aside.

  3. THE XO IS A GO!

    Dilute the stock with 100ml of boiling water. Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the quartered mushrooms for 4-5 minutes until soft and caramelised. On completion, pour in the XO sauce, the soy sauce, the the remaining vinegar, and the diluted stock. Stir through the infused chilli oil to taste. Mix until the mushrooms are coated and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-6 minutes until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.

  4. FINAL ADDITIONS

    When the sauce is nearing completion, add in the shelled edamame beans and grated carrot, and toss until heated through. Then, toss through the cooked noodles for 1-2 minutes until coated and reheated.

  5. BOWL UP SOME DINS!

    Dish up the glorious XO mushrooms and noodles, making sure to include a hearty helping of sauce. Finish off with the sliced spring onion, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped basil. Sprinkle over the remaining fresh chilli to taste. Gorgeous, Chef!
