Method
-
Place your kettle on boil. Prep your ingredients as listed.
-
Once your kettle has boiled, pop your rice noodles in a bowl and pour over the boiling water until covered. Set aside until soft (about 10 minutes). When they are ready, drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
-
In the meantime, to make your curry sauce, heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a large saucepan (that has a lid) on medium heat. Add your carrot rounds and cook until slightly softened, about 3 minutes with the lid on. Then and then add your ginger, spring onion and two thirds of your curry paste. Stir together for 1 minute before adding the coconut milk, vegetable stock and 300ml water. Bring to the boil and then turn down your heat to low and simmer for 6-9 minutes (with the lid off), stirring occasionally, until it has reduced to a light curry sauce. Taste and add further curry paste to your preference.
-
Meanwhile, make your Asian dressing. Ensure your peanuts and coriander are finely chopped, and add them to a bowl along with the soy sauce, a sprinkle of sugar/xylitol and half of your lime juice. Mix together and taste to see if the balance of flavours is to your liking. You may want to add more lime, or another sprinkle of sugar!
-
When the sauce has 2-3 minutes to go, add your spinach leaves. Cover the pot and allow them to wilt into the sauce. Remove the lid to check they are done to your likeness, and remove the pan from the heat.
-
You are now ready to serve! Dish up the drained rice noodles in bowls. Pour the sauce over the noodles, and add the spinach. Drizzle over your nutty Asian dressing, squeeze over a final squeeze of lime and you are done! ENJOY!
