December Recipe Challenge Week 1
When Karla wrote about her December Recipe Challenge I just had to join her. I used to be so scared of trying new things and always relied on cookbooks. However, it’s so much more creative to try something new (even if it can turn out disastrous).
The challenge is basically about whipping up one vegetarian meal per week (in the month of December) that includes at least one vegetable.Yesterday I finally had the time to cook a nice dinner. So here it is…
Thai-riffic Spinach Curry Noodles
Serves 2
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp curry past (I used yellow curry paste)
- 2 bundles of rice noodles (I used brown rice & wakame noodles)
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 huge handfuls spinach
- 1/2 yellow bell pepper
- 1 tbsp peanut butter
Directions:
- Cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Set aside.
- Heat the coconut oil in a wok (or any other pan that you have..) and stir in the chopped pepper.
- Sauté for 2 minutes and add the spinach
- Sauté for an other two minutes and add the curry paste, peanut butter and coconut milk.
- stir stir stir until it becomes a creamy sauce. Add more curry paste if you like it hotter.
- Add the noodles and mix it very well with the sauce. Voila, you’re done!
It looks like a huge mess but it’s so good! The coconut milk is very rich and decadent and mixes very well with the curry paste and peanut butter.
Enjoy!
That looks amazing! Yay for December Recipe Challenge!
This looks GOOD!!! I’ll have to give it a try. For some reason, Thai food really intimidates me in the kitchen…but this looks easy enough!
Yes I know, it seems very intimidating indeed! However, I’ve learned that almost anything goes well with good curry paste and coconut milk
Ooooh I love this challenge idea! Your first recipe looks incredibly delicious and combines a lot of my favorite foods and tastes. I love the step by step process too. Thanks for sharing!
What a great idea- and your first meal looks fantastic! I love anything that has peanut sauce on it- YUUUM!
