This is an idea I got from my friend Alice that is staying with us at the moment – my housemate and her are doing a Gut Makeover and needed to keep it dairy free and gluten free and you miss neither with this recipe!
Salmon and Mushroom Ramen with a Ponzu Broth
This is my kind of winter comfort food. Noodles and broth to slurp with plenty of vegetables and protein. The salmon is gently cooked in a fragrant broth that’s seasoned with ponzu, so many levels of yum.
Vegan Tempeh and Vegetable Ramen
Oh my oh my, another tempeh recipe, if you’d told me two years ago I’d be eating tempeh I would not have believed you. And boy do I get argumentative when I think you’re full of it. it’s not always pleasant for the full of it person… or me when it turns out I was in the wrong. But I’m into tempeh now… well sometimes, when it’s cooked in ways I actually like. And this definitely is one of those ways.
Bok Choy and Pork Soba Noodle Bowl
I couldn’t decide what to call this and was going to go with Lo Mein, then realised that through numerous. However it does have those tasty take out vibes and the noodles are coated in this slurpy yummy pork minced laced sauce and it’s served with stir fried bok choy on the side and a soft boiled egg so it’s great if not legit.
Vegetarian Khoa Soi Style Noodle Soup
This is reminiscent in flavour of a khoa soi soup but like most things I make is lacking in the authentic elements, the flavour is great though, full of thai spices and turmeric!
Sesame, Miso and Ginger One Pot Chicken Ramen
Basically ramen. But I cheated, and made it quick and easy, like almost as easy as 2 minute noodles but full of goodness and yummy nourishing things rather than a weird dehydrated sachet of ‘flavour’. But let’s be honest, I might be trash talking that stuff but I crave it sometimes as it was the comfort food of my childhood and then hangover food of my teenage years and very early twenties. Don’t judge me, just admire how far I’ve come;)
Capsicum, Baby Kale And Fried Caper Linguini
Gimme all the pasta always. And this pasta has so many of my favourite flavours in it in a delicious harmonious mix. The sauce is enriched with olive oil and coats the pasta so that every bite is flavoursome joy. And the fried capers. The fried capers are like salty and sharp bread crumbs make every one of those bites incredible.
Roast Pumpkin Spaghetti
It might technically be spring but seeing as Melbourne likes to play fast and loose with sticking to the seasons, so will I. My first week back on pasta and here I am with this flavour bomb of a bowl of deliciousness.
