Our answer

Nigella's Noodles With Mushrooms And Mangetouts (from HOW TO EAT is a simple but satisfying stir fry of vegetables and noodles that can be served as a side, as a vegetarian main or can have other ingredients added to it.

The recipe uses dried noodles and the method starts with cooking the noodles in boiling water. As the cooking time varies according to the thickness and type of noodle used, we suggest you follow the cooking instructions on the noodle packaging. If you prefer to use fresh noodles then usually you need to use about 50% more by weight. So you would need to use 380-400g fresh noodles (about 12-14 ounces) and you should not need to boil them first, but check the instructions on the packaging.
