In a wok or large frying pan heat the oil until it is hot. Add the garlic and ginger and stir for a few seconds, and then add the spring onions. Continue to fry for a few seconds and then add the re-hydrated noodles.
Continue to stir fry for a minute and then add the vegetables. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes for the vegetables to be heated through.
Now add the sauce, stir well to mix, drizzle over the sesame oil (if using), mix again and serve with a garnish of spring onions.
