Packed with nutritious vegetables, plenty of fresh herbs and the delightful aromatics of ginger, garlic, chilli and lemongrass, it provides all the nutrients needed for a super quick and healthy dinner.

Ingredients (Serves 1):
Salad
50g flat rice noodles
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
½ red onion, thinly sliced
3 tbsp. fresh coriander, chopped
3 tbsp. fresh mint, chopped
6 fresh Thai basil leaves, ripped
1 stick lemongrass, finely sliced
1 clove garlic, sliced
1-inch fresh ginger, chopped
Selection of vegetables, about a handful of each: beansprouts, mangetout, baby sweetcorn (cut in half lengthways), spinach leaves, spring onions sliced
Dressing
Juice of 1 lime
3 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tsp brown sugar or honey
1 Bird’s eye chilli, finely sliced (optional)
1 tbsp. roasted peanuts, crushed
Method:
- Cook the noodles – soak the rice noodles in a bowl of just boiled water and cover for 10 minutes.
- Make the dressing – combine the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl or cup and reserve.
- Stir-fry vegetables over a high heat- add the oil to a pan followed by the ginger, garlic and lemongrass and cook for 30 seconds before adding the rest of the vegetables. Stir fry for a couple of minutes before turning off the heat.
- Once the rice noodles have been in for 8-10 minutes, drain and add to the pan with the vegetables to combine all the ingredients.
- Finally, pour the dressing into the pan with the herbs, fold through to fully coat and serve.
