Quick (& Healthy) Dinner
Anything that begins with quick and includes the word healthy when it comes to meal planning is right up my alley! The fact that it’s a curry means it’s automatically in my meal rotation!
Last night I was able to pull together Bangkok Curry Noodles in 30 minutes and it tasted absolutely amazing! I was so hungry, I forgot to snap a photo, so I’ll share the image from Pinch of Yum because it’s not only delicious but also absolutely beautiful too!
Legitimately – my dinner looked exactly like this, no joke! And what’s also so great about recipes like this, you can pull out any vegetables you have in the fridge to make it work. I do suggest the red cabbage as a topper though – the crunch adds something wonderful.
The coconut curry sauce is so tasty, like lick your bowl, tasty! It’s got really warm flavors, a hint of spice, and it’s so smooth and velvety and coats the noodles and veggies so easily. It’s amazing!
A few notes from my kitchen:
- If you can find a really great broth or stock option with no salt added, it’s a glorious thing! I pay a little more for mine, but then I know that I can add a little salt instead of adding something that is filled with salt.
- If you’ve never cooked with fish sauce before, I’m going to warn you – it’s got a very, very potent smell! But, don’t let that deter you, it adds a beautiful umami flavor to the dish.
- You can use soy sauce or tamari is this recipe. Tamari is gluten-free which is a great option if you are preparing it for someone who is gluten intolerant.
- I prefer to use fresh vegetables because I like them to be a little more crunchy, but if you want you could also use a bag of mixed sitr-fry veggies too.
- The best part, like I said is that you can use any vegetables you have – I added a bell pepper that needed to be eaten.
This was a perfect quick and healthy dinner last night and I’m so looking forward to lunch today! Delicious leftovers, here I come!
