Noodley Goodness

I had a sudden craving for noodles. After a quick dash to the shop for some, I came up with this simple but delicious recipe.

Peanutty Vegetable Noodles

1 tsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cm piece fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 red chilli, deseeded & finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
½ tsp turmeric
8 chestnut mushrooms, sliced
1 pak choi, sliced
½ red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup vegetable stock
1 cup coconut milk
3 tbsp peanut butter
2 handfuls cashew nuts
1 packet of soft egg noodles (for a vegan dish use another type of noodles)
salt & pepper

Saute the onion in olive oil, adding the ginger, chilli, garlic and turmeric. Add a splash of water if required. Once the onion has softened, add the red pepper. Cook for a few minutes of minutes before adding the mushrooms and then the pak choi. Cook for a couple more minutes and then add the peanut butter, coconut milk and vegetable stock. Stir well. Add the noodles and cook for three minutes. Season and serve.

I just can't tell you how amazingly good this was. It was just what I wanted! Graham enjoyed it too, but Mr Fusspot commented that the sauce would have been nice a little thinner. I reminded him at this point, how long it took him to come down for dinner after I had called. Hmmmmm!
