  2. Add stock pots and 4 cups (1 litre) boiling water and bring to the boil. Add noodles and boil, covered, for 2 minutes.

Notes

TIPS: Stock pots are small containers of concentrated liquid stock available at most major supermarkets. If unavailable, use stock cubes or powder to make 4 cups (1 litre) stock. We used a frozen stir-fry mix consisting of carrot, baby corn, green beans and broccoli but you can use any frozen stir-fry mix. To get more juice from a lime, roll it back and forth on the bench a few times while pressing down firmly with your hand before cutting it in half.
