Quick Lunch Meal

Nowadays life is all about preparing meals to go as so many places are not open… it’s a life of take aways. So why not to make something yourself that would be super fast, tasty and filling?

Keep scrolling! That answer is just here ;)

Now in that recipe if there is something that you are not a fan off- just skip it :) My base is onions, garlic and butter, the rest is add ons ;)

Ingredients:

1x medium size onion, peeled and chopped (whichever way you like)

2-3x garlic cloves, peeled and chopped

6-8x sundried tomatoes, chopped

300g of mushrooms, chopped

1x courgette, take of the ends, cut in half and chop for thin slices

1x bell pepper, chopped

1x handful of chopped spring onion (optional)

1x big handful of kale, spinach, mix (optional)

1x goats cheese- camembert style, chopped for smaller pieces (optional)

A bit of butter to start

1x decent splash of sweet chilli sauce

2x tuna in brine tins, without water

1x small package of crab/seafood sticks, peeled off the package and sliced for smaller chunks (optional)

1/2x package of rice noodles, cooked in slightly salted water

Take a big pot add cold water, some salt and bring to boil - that will be for noodles. Cook them in the meantime. Leave a small ramekin from the cooked water on a side.

Preheat big pan with some butter, add onion and garlic. Sprinkle some salt, turn the power down and leave to simmer.

In the meantime start chopping mushrooms, add them to pan. Follow with courgette, sundried tomatoes, spring onion, goats cheese.

Simmer for good 5-7minutes until all is cooked. Add your tuna and crab sticks, splash some sweet chilli sauce and that water from the small ramekin into. Simmer for 2mins.

Now add noodles and kale/spinach and bell peppers. Mix it all up. Season if needed and enjoy!

You can leave it to cool and then keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days :) Yum! ;)

Can there be something better then quick pasta with shrimps coated with sweet chilli sauce? If you are not a fun of seafood stuffs that’s the only reason why I can understand your ‘No’ answer. :) Do believe me, it’s really good!

Chine's Style Shrimps Pasta

Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 20 mins Total time: 25 mins

Ingredients

•          a bunch of spaghetti noodles

•         spring onion, chopped

•          1x lime

•          1x onion, chopped

•          around 200g defrosted shrimps - it's up to your taste how much

•          3-4 tablespoons of rice oil

•          pinch of salt

•          sweet chilli sauce

•          freshly grated parmesan

Prepare yourself for doing couple things in the same time. Thanks to that, your belly will be a super happy belly shortly :)

1.     Take a wok pan, add rice oil and heat it up.

2.      Take a pot, filled it with water and bring it to boil. When ready cook pasta to al dente. But leave some water from it.

3.      Go back to wok pan – when wok is hot, add chopped onion with pinch of salt. Simmer that quickly on lower heat. When your pasta is almost done, add shrimps – they don’t need much time on a pan. Add pasta with some water (around 40-50 ml) from cooking (most of that water will evaporate, but the rest will make a nice sauce base). Add grated lime zest, chopped spring onion and sweet chilli sauce. Mix it, try if it’s spicy enough. Move to a plate, squeeze some lime juice around and cover with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

P.S. It can be gluten free and dairy free as well – just change parmesan cheese for other cheese and pasta, for rice noddles :)
