Taste of the Far East
Singapore noodles
Another ‘blog meal’, somewhat different bringing in a taste of the far east, with Singapore noodles! Ideal for a 'less hassle' and quicker feed.
Come on, who doesn’t like
the Chinese menu? Well, as we mostly know it via take-away! As a self-confessed foodie I search for and eat whatever; E.g. (thinking South East Asia) Thai, Vietnamese, Korean. So, this just
looked to tick boxes for a night to conserve some energy and 'deliver' a tasty filling.
“Fast, healthy food at its
best.” Sold. "It might seem like a strange combination, but the chicken,
curry powder and prawns are a total winner," says cookbook author Joe Wicks. "If you don't
fancy the combo, feel free to use either chicken or prawns - in which case,
you'll need 250g chicken or 200g prawns."
I returned to chicken.
Prawns are coming soon in (a) something or other.
Having the necessary bits
(I chose no prawns, and no coriander (love not hate, just had none)!), I attacked the
kitchen once more.
Ingredients:
·
Ingredients:
·
15ml (1
tbsp) coconut oil
·
150g
skinless chicken breast, sliced into 1cm thick strips (I used more weight)
·
15ml (1
tbsp) mild curry powder (or medium/hotter/whatever)
·
8 prawns,
peeled (if using)
·
2 spring
onions, roughly chopped
·
1 red
chilli, roughly chopped - remove the seeds if you don't like it hot (I used
more!)
·
1 clove
garlic, roughly chopped (Never enough garlic. I used 3)
·
50g mange
tout, cut in half
·
6 baby sweetcorn,
cut in half
·
200g egg
noodles
·
salt and
pepper
·
juice of 1
lime
·
¼ bunch of
coriander, leaves only, roughly chopped
Method:
1)
Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan over a high heat. Add the chicken and
fry for 1 minute, turning it a couple of times. When the chicken is no longer
pink, sprinkle half of the curry powder into the wok and stir to coat the
chicken strips.
[That was different to how I
usually go about it; but I tried it.]
2)
Throw in the prawns and toss with the other ingredients. (No
prawns; didn’t have)


Easy. Well. Theoretically it should be; practice? I'll say not as easy as it should be. However! You can see I did it and it was not that challenging; which at times is welcome.
That is three 'Lean in 15' recipes ticked-off this, dare I say, my food blog list. Enjoyable really, just have another idea...
Stay tuned for whatever is coming next!
