Oodles of Noodles! /BBB12

May 1, 2014 1 Comment

tenderstem and peanut noodles

 

 

I know that many bariatrics struggle with pasta like spaghetti, lasagne and macaroni after surgery – I’m lucky I don’t and easily manage a few tablespoons (but no more!). For some reason many more do seem to be able to tolerate egg noodles – maybe the thinner and more slippery texture of the noodles has something do do with it?

 

I always have a few packets or blocks of dried egg noodles in my store cupboard – to add to soups, make a quick and easy accompaniment or even make a main course dish. At the end of this last month  (when money was becoming scarce and my budget squeezed) I tried this quick and easy and really simple mid-week noodle dish and it was a real hit!  If you can’t tolerate anything too spicy (or cooking for children too) then you can leave out the ginger and chilli, but it gives a great kick for those who can. It makes a great addition to my Bariatric Budget Busters recipe collection too.

 

If you want to boost the protein then you could add a little sliced chicken, few prawns, flaked fish or quorn but it really doesn’t need much since it has a hefty 13.3 g protein per regular serving anyway.

 

It would make a great dish to try in Vegetarian Week (coming up in the UK from 19th – 25th May 2014).

 

VEGETARIAN TENDERSTEM AND PEANUT NOODLES
