A Thai inspired dish which uses an unusual combination of cucumber noodles and combines a number of ingredients that create a spicy sauce with a light stir fry. We have used a spiraliser to make the cucumber noodles but you can use a peeler or grater for a similar effect.

Ingredients

  • 4 cucumbers – peeled, rinsed, spiralised or sliced with a peeler
  • 1 head of broccoli – washed, cut stalks to be smaller, break broccoli head into small pieces
  • 1 red capsicum – washed, deseeded, sliced finely, halved
  • 18 snow peas – washed, stringed
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Sauce

  • 1 cup fresh coriander – washed, roots removed, sliced
  • 2 red birds eye chillies – washed, sliced finely
  • 1 garlic clove – peeled, rinsed, sliced finely
  • 1 teaspoon ginger – peeled, rinsed, sliced finely
  • 1 lemongrass stalk – peeled to white, rinsed, ends removed, squeezed with knife, sliced finely
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 cup cashews
  • 2 limes – juiced
  • 270 ml / 9 fl oz tin coconut cream

Directions

  1. Prepare cucumbers and use a spiraliser, peeler or grater to create noodles.  
  2. Place noodles in a bowl and cover with water for 15 minutes.
  3. Prepare vegetables and ingredients for sauce.
  4. In a food processor or blender add the coriander and chilli to blend finely.
  5. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend for another 1 minute or until combined to a creamy sauce.
  6. In a large frying pan add the olive oil on low heat.  
  7. Add broccoli and capsicum for 5 minutes stirring frequently.
  8. Add snow peas for a further 3 minutes stirring frequently.
  9. Add the sauce and heat for 1 minute, gently heat stirring frequently.  Remove pan from heat. 
  10. Add cashews.
  11. Drain the noodles and add to pan.  
  12. Mix all ingredients through.  Serve with a generous amount of sauce to plate.
