2. Heat a wok on medium-low heat, induction setting 4 for 4 minutes then increase to high heat, Induction setting 8.

Hints and tips
• Instead of chicken stock use dry white wine to enrich the dish.
• Zucchini tends to render a lot of water when cooking, allow the spiralled noodles to sit in a colander for a few minutes to drain off excess water.
