The Burmese style curry noodles are so versatile and full of flavour. They’re a take on a dish that usually involves noodles with a meat sauce and your favourite toppings. So sort of like a Burmese version of spag bol! Sort of haha. This version involves a mushroom rather than meat based sauces but I’ve included instructions for a variation using chicken and one using prawns because variety is the spice of life and all that jazz (also I couldn’t choose just one version).
When a zucchini fritter meets a hash brown my brunch dreams collide. I have loved hash browns since I was a kid. Like, my favourite burger as a 10 year old was the tower burger at KFC because it had a hash brown it in. It’s been a long love affair. And I’ve now made it a more nutritious one. Hoorah!
This smoothie bowl is full of protein and fibre to keep you feeling full. Plus it has that whole chocolate drizzle thing going on to make things extra special. It’s the perfect post work out food for me and you’re going to love it.
I have to share this with you because I’m obsessed with red lentil pasta at the moment. It’s super filling, has great flavour and is a dream with this simple sauce. Even if you’re not gluten free it makes a nice change and is an easy way for adding more protein t vegetarian pasta dishes. It’s just an all round win.
I’ve been thinking about this curry for a while. I love saag. I love it’s intense greenness and slightly more subtle flavour in comparison to other curries. And Saag Aloo (when you make it with potatoes) is so yumm). Despite it apparently being Spring already the weather last week was very winter like so I decided it was the perfect time to make this.
How good is Pad Thai? It was my favourite noodle dish for years. Years I tell you, and I get bored oh so easily. The problem is it’s so hit and miss when you order it at take away places. So I now love making it at home, just the way I like it. I’ll put the prawn and chicken version up next, because that’s the other way I like it.
Pearl barley makes a great change from using rice, it isn’t gluten free or anything it just gives a different flavour and a great texture. Plus it’s a great source of dietary fibre and a range of vitamins and minerals. It’s nutty flavour works so well with the sweet pumpkin and salty feta.
I know this sound kin of odd. Asian Gnocchi basically. I mean what kind of stupid fusion food is that? But if you remember that gnocchi is just a potato and pasta hybrid and that potatoes love asian flavours and pasta is really just noodles then it makes more sense. And it tastes amazing, I’ve tested it on friends for you, promise!
It should be pretty clear by now that I love a fritter. They’re such a great way to use leftover veg plus as a replacement for toast at breakfast fritters mean squeezing another couple of serves of veg into your day. I’ve been playing around with these for a while now to get the texture and flavour right (and the all important structural integrity). And I clocked it last weekend. These broccoli fritters are quickly becoming a new favourite.
Comfort food. But full of goodness too. This creamy cheesey mac n cheese is full of cauliflower, both in the cauliflower based ‘bechamel’ and in the crispy roasted bits peeking out the top. it’s a good one.
