Lazy Girl Noodles

One delicious serving, ten short minutes and loads of nutrients for your body? What’s not to love.  20g Of protein, 13g fibre, 2 servings of veg, and lots of plant points. And minimum washing up.  I often have it for lunch after a ‘short’ (65-85km) bike ride when I need salty carbs pronto, but it works for solo girl dinner too.

Ingredients

1 nest of wholewheat noodles ( These are what I’m using)

100g frozen peas

1 Tbs peanut butter

½ tsp brown sugar

1 Tbs soy sauce

1 tsp rice wine vinegar

A drop of chilli oil (as much as you like!)

A few inches of cucumber

Method

Boil the kettle, put the peas and noodles in a small pan. Pour the boiling water over and cook on medium heat until the noodles are cooked, about 5-8 minutes.

Get a biggish bowl – that you will eat out of – and make your sauce. Mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and chilli oil and mix well. Add a few spoons of the cooking water to thin it to a drizzling consistency.

Drain the cooked noodles and peas, rinse with cold water and drain well.  Add to the bowl and mix well.

Chop the cucumber into cubes, sprinkle on top and dig in.
