Get four of your five-a-day with this vitamin-packed noodle bowl. This colourful meal is rich in vitamins C, K, A and B2, as well as beta-carotene, potassium and thiamine.
Serves 2.
You'll need:
1/2 Red cabbage
1 Red or orange pepper
1 Medium carrot
3-4 Spring onions
Sesame seeds
Noodles (use wholemeal to be extra healthy)
1 tbs Smooth peanut butter
1 tbs White wine vingar
1 tbs Sesame oil
1/2 Lime juiced
Lightly toast the sesame seeds until golden and cook the noodles according to their instructions. When the noodles are done, rinse in cold water and toss with a bit of sesame oil if you like. Meanwhile, finely chop most of the veg. (I use a mandolin to speed up the process) In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, sesame oil, white wine vinegar and lime juice. I like to add a little extra peanut butter, then loosen the mixture with a splash of warm water. Mixed the cabbage, pepper, carrots and noodles in the peanut sauce. Sprinkle with spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Yum.
