Veggie Mix Noodles






Album 'Scissor Sisters' 2003



Seriously what is going on with the weather at the moment?!



It's all about creating your own plates of sunshine..



Serves 4...or feeds you for the rest of the week!



Boil



Sharwood medium noodles



In a jug add a small chunk of tamarind with 100ml boiling water



Meanwhile in a wok:



Add 1 tbsp groundnut oil (toasted sesame oil is just as good)



1 crushed and chopped garlic clove



1 tsp lemon grass paste



2 chopped spring onions



1 carrot in edible chunks



Handful of fresh spinach



half a can of low fat coconut milk



5 chopped close cup mushrooms



sieve the jug of tamarind and add the flavoured water to the wok



drain the noodles and get them involved



some frozen peas



few cashews



and I added half of an orange pepper



Simmer for 15 minutes and then serve



The above might sound a bit hectic and busy but it's up to you what you would like in a stir fry.



Maybe try tofu



beansprouts



mangetout



runner beans



fine beans



The textures and flavours you want can easily be achieved and cooked very quickly, also it can be made healthy. Think of all those vegetables you missed out on last weekend!



Hope you have had a nice start to the week despite the weather.
