This meal is all made in one pan which is such a win!

I am always looking for quick and convenient recipes and this one-pan coconut noodles recipe ticks all the boxes. It is fancy enough to make for guests but also super simple and could easily fit into your weekly routine.  

Tofu and onions are pan fried. This provides a nice crisp and lends a wonderful flavour to the dish. You then add your peppers and spinach for colour and vitamins. The noodles are later added along with a delicious coconut sauce.

Cooked in the coconut milk, the noodles absorb the essence of the recipe and makes this One-pan Coconut Noodle dish so flavoursome. You can use any noodles you want in this recipe. I love flat rice noodles for their texture and the way they cling to the sauce. 

The tofu in this recipe ramps up the protein content making it a great post-workout meal. The coconut milk ads some healthy fats, and the noodles give you plenty of carbs to fuel your recovery.

If you want to add in some more protein, stir in a spoonful of peanut butter with the coconut milk, to make a satay sauce or top with some toasted nuts. 

Often overlooked, stir-fries are such a great meal!

You can make such a wonderfully balanced meal. They are great for using up whatever veggies you have in your fridge and always taste amazing.

Plate 2

For example, in this recipe, you could add in some spiralised carrot and courgette in place of some of the noodles or just throw in some frozen vegetables if you don’t have fresh ones to hand. If tofu isn’t your thing then swap for your favourite protein source. Quorn pieces would be delicious as would some tempeh or even chickpeas.

Once you have made this dish a couple of times you can shake up the flavours by adding in some Thai curry paste or sriracha for a spicy twist.
