Method

  1. Cook the egg noodles in boiling salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes; drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a splash of oil in a wok or large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add garlic and swirl for 30 seconds.
  3. Toss in carrots and stir‑fry 3 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Add the tomatoes and spinach, cooking another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
  5. Stir the noodles back in, season with salt, pepper and a squeeze of lemon, and give everything a heroic toss.
  6. Serve immediately, letting the hero’s colors shine on the plate.

Keep the wok hot and work quickly – high heat preserves the veggies’ snap and keeps the noodles from getting soggy.

Pairs beautifully with Watch a 90‑second superhero intro montage while plating.

The verdict, please.
