Some nights you really don’t feel cooking, but know you’ll regret eating a toasted sandwich later. This broccoli/noodle/peanut recipe takes 10 minutes to whip up, is super-tasty, but won’t make you feel crappy because it is still plant-based. You’re welcome!

This recipe served 2, but would be easily adapted for more.

 

1 packet wholemeal udon/ramen noodles

Half a head of broccoli

 

Juice of 1 lime

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce

2 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter

1 spring onion, chopped

1 red chilli, chopped (optional)

Handful of fresh coriander, chopped

 

Chop the broccoli and steam it until just cooked. Add the noodles for the last 30 seconds just to get them warm and separated.

Mix the lime juice, oil, chilli sauce and peanut butter with 1-3 tablespoons water until combined and a pourable consistency.

Stir the dressing through the broccoli and noodles, then garnish with the spring onion, coriander and chilli (if using).

Serve!

You could mix this up by using green beans instead of broccoli, adding tofu for a more filling meal, or serving asian greens such as bok choi on the side. In fact, I think I need to eat this again tomorrow!
