1 large carrot, cut into matchsticks or grate with lemon zester
1 1/2 cups frozen peas, boiled
1 omelette (made from 3 eggs), sliced finely
Leek, green part finely sliced
Japanese Shittake Konbu pickles (mushroom & kelp)
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil
3 tablespoons neutral oil

Boil noodes in salted water together with frozen peas, drain. Saute carrot in oil (sesame + neutral) until it softens slightly, then add leek, cook for another minute or so, then add omelette, keep stirring just long enough to let the omelette get heated.

Add the noodles and peas to the rest of the vegetables and also add a tablespoon of the pickles, mix well to get the pickles evenly distributed throughout. Should serve 2.
