Ingredients:
Serves 1
- 70g dry vermicelli noodles
- 2 tsp mild curry paste
- 3 tsp coconut milk
- 20g frozen peas
- 20g frozen carrots
- 20g spinach, thinly sliced
- 70g cooked chicken, diced into small chunks
- Handful of fresh coriander
Method:
- First you will need a glass jar with a secure lid, the bigger the better to fit your ingredients inside easily.
- Spread the curry paste evenly across the bottom of the jar, and then top with your coconut milk.
- Then add your veggies and meat on top of your sauce layers. Remember, this is a great way to use up your leftovers so feel free to adjust the recipe to add whatever protein source or veg you have left in your fridge.
- Finish by topping the ingredients with your dry noodles and then seal.
- If you’re making this as meal prep, store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- When you’re ready to eat, simply top with boiling water until you just cover the noodles. Don’t put too much water in to start with you can always add more in later.
- Place the lid back on and leave the noodles to cook for 2 - 4 minutes. This can vary, so make sure to check that your noodles are cooked through before serving.
- Give everything a good stir before eating to release the curry flavours and add more water if needed.
- Eat straight away and enjoy!
