Method
- Drain the young coconut thoroughly and prepare every vegetable in thin, similar pieces.
- Heat oil in a wok and sauté garlic and onion until fragrant, then add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned.
- Add squash, carrot, and beans and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes so they begin to soften without losing colour.
- Pour in stock and soy sauce and bring to a simmer, then add the noodles and loosen them gently.
- When the noodles are nearly tender, add coconut strips, cabbage, and fruit if using.
- Toss until the liquid is absorbed but the pan remains moist; the coconut should stay springy rather than limp.
- Finish with calamansi and pepper and serve immediately.
