1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 tablespoon salt-reduced soy sauce

1 tablespoon liquid honey

1 tablespoon minced or finely grated ginger

4 tablespoons hot water

250g rice noodles

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 clove garlic, finely chopped

1 courgette, grated

2 carrots, grated

1 cup broccoli florets, blanched

Serving suggestion

Serve noodles garnished with sesame seeds and sliced chillies.

Variations

Make it gluten free: Check tomato paste is gluten free and use gluten-free soy sauce.
Use beef or chicken mince instead of venison.
Use different noodles such as egg noodles or soba noodles.
Vary the veges: Try capsicum, cauliflower, celery or bok choy.
Add a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter to the sauce (add a bit more hot water, too) to make a satay-style noodle dish.
Leave the noodles out and serve the meat and vege mixture with steamed brown rice.
