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!

It was so tasty! Maybe because from ground to plate was so fast! Here it is..

Quinoa and veggie fritters

Back after so long!!!

So here we are again. Today Mr. F came home to tell me he had been learning about "healthy eating" at school so I seized the chance and made these quinoa and veggies fritters. They were easy and delicious!

Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS
2 cups of cooked quinoa
2 eggs
Veggies of your choice. I added:
1 grated carrot
3 grated mushrooms
1 can of corn
1/4 small broccoli - only the busy tops
1 tomato
Some chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. If the outcome is too dry, add another egg.
2. Form the patties and fry them until golden brown.

I ate mine with yoghurt and lemon but you can also make an avocado and tomato salsa.

Enjoy!

                

Mung beans and sausage stew

We've noticed we like sausage stew with some kind of beans!! This stew is very similar to the one we posted a few months ago but this time we used mung beans and it was delicious!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 kilo of mung beans soaked overnight
6 long traditional sausages
1 big onion chopped
Spices (we used turmeric, cumin, salt and vegetable stock cubes)
Water.

1. Fry the sausages until they are cooked (we used fresh sausages so they were completely raw). Cut in bite sized pieces. Set aside.
2. Fry the onion in a pot big enough to fit the rest of the ingredients. Add the sausages and stir, add the spices and salt and then add in the previously soaked mung beans.
3. Add enough water to cover the ingredients and bring to a boil. Once it has been boiling for about 15 minutes, lower the heat and cook until the beans are soft.
4. Serve and enjoy! Can be eaten with rice, toast or by itself with yoghurt and a dash of lemon if you are like us :)

 

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.
