Turkey noodles

We made these super easy and delicious noodles and want to share the recipe with you all :)

INGREDIENTS:
Turkey meat diced 500gr
1 tbsp sugar
Broccoli - 1 medium, cut in small pieces
1 small diced onion
1/2 capsicum / bell pepper
Noodles - 1-2 packs, depending on how much you'd like to make
Soya sauce
Fish sauce
Pepper

Fresh cucumber for serving

HOW TO...

1. Heat up a pan with some oil and cook the turkey until golden and cooked through (not over cooked as turkey can get dry and chewy), add the sugar and caramelize.
2. Meanwhile start boiling water and cook your noodles until al-dente ;)
3. Add the broccoli, soya sauce and fish sauce to taste to the turkey and in the end add the noodles, stir and serve.
4. To decorate and serve, I spiralled some cucumber but if you don't have a spiralizer just cut them thinly Julienne style. Top the noodles with them and enjoy!

Noodles with zucchini and carrot

We've been gone for a while but we are back and here is our first recipe of the year:
Noodles with zucchini, carrot and egg.

INGREDIENTS (enough for 2 people):
1 zucchini grated
1 carrot grated
Cooked noodles
1 or 2 eggs (whatever you prefer)
Soya sauce

1. Cook the zucchini and carrot until slightly soft.
2. Add the soya sauce and the egg(s). Tur the pan off so the egg cooks slowly and remains creamy.
3. After you cook and drain your chosen noodles, add them to the veggies and egg mixture.

Stir, serve and enjoy!

*The eggs besides contributing to the yumminess of the dish helps stick the ingredients together and that's why you need to cook them slowly so they are still a bit raw when you add the noodles and they finish cooking with their heat.
We made this since our little one isn't the biggest fan of carrot sticks.

Teriyaki tofu with noodles and broccoli.

This is not as much of a recipe as it is a suggestion on how to use these yummy ingredients in a simple dish.

INGREDIENTS:
Firm tofu
Chinese broccoli (broccolini or regular broccoli is good too)
Noodles
Teriyaki sauce*

1. Slice the tofu and pan fry until golden. Set aside and marinate in the teriyaki sauce for a few hours.
2. Chop up the broccoli and pan fry until softened.
3. In the meantime cook the noodles you want to use (we used thin rice noodles)
4. Dice the marinated tofu (optional) and add to the broccoli along with the cooked noodles. Add some extra teriyaki sauce, stir and serve hot!

Noodles with seared tuna and wasabi dressing

We saw this recipe on a magazine and made is according to what we remembered. It was quite delicious!

Tuna (we used 300grams for the 3 of us)
1 tsp wasabi paste
6 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp hot water
2 tsp sesame seed oil
2 tbsp canola oil

1. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Grain and set aside.
2. Meanwhile cut the tuna in rectangular stripes and cook briefly on each side (30 secs to 1 minute each side max), remove from heat and cut into bite-size squares
3. Mix the wasabi, soya sauce, water, sesame oil and canola oil and whisk until combined.

Serve the noodles and top with the tuna. Drizzle with the wasabi dressing. You can top the dish with some chopped spring onions for more colour. Enjoy!
