Satay rice noodles with courgettes, carrots and cashews
Super-speedy, nutritionally dense, bloomin’ delicious dinner. Ten minutes from start to finish! A perfect homemade alternative when you feel like getting a takeaway.
Method
Firstly, make the satay. In a nutri-bullet or blender, mix in all of the ingredients and blend until smooth. Add water very gradually until you get a thick, hummous consistency. Taste and season with soy, chilli or lemon to your liking.
Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and pour over the boiling water. leave to stand for 3-4 minutes (or as per the packet’s instructions) until cooked, stir through with a fork and drain. Add the satay to the bowl and stir well. Finally, add in the grated vegetables and chopped nuts and enjoy!
I love fine tuning meals while I am eating them, enjoying balancing sweet vs sour vs spice as I go so always have soy, lemon and chilli to hand. My husband on the other hand likes things just the way they are. Each to their own!
