Vegetable Noodle Surprise

I really enjoyed cooking this easy to make vegetable noodle recipe.

Not only was it wonderful watching all the lovely colours come together, but it is absolutely an amazing tasting dish! The warm red chilli, the sweetness of the corn, leek and red pepper, the green fruitiness of the cabbage and that fabulous splash of soy sauce is totally mouth watering.

You really do need all the ingredients used to enjoy the finished dish, the combination is just too special to change.

This will be the best vegetable noodles you have ever tasted, I promise you that!

I serve it in a cabbage leaf bowl - you can't beat being able to eat your bowl along with your meal.

This recipe is really simple to make so go ahead and give Jeenas vegetable noodle surprise a go as it is very healthy and so very good for you.


Ingredients
1 Packet Noodles (I used egg noodles)
3 Savoy Cabbage Leaves (washed)
1 Pointed Sweet Red Pepper
1 Large Flat Mushroom
1 Corn Cob
1/2 Red Onion
1/2 Small Leek (bottom half only/white part)
2 Small/Medium Carrots
1 Red Chilli (sliced into rings with seeds kept in)
Soy Sauce
Olive Oil
Salt + Black Pepper


First Chop your carrots into thin strips, chop your onion into thin slices. Cut your sweet pepper into rings and discard the seeds. Wash your leek and chop it up, chop your mushroom in half then cut into thin slices. Be careful when cutting vegetables fine.


In a pan of salted boiling water place your corn cob, cook for approx 5 minutes then take out - put it on a plate for later. Leave the water in your pan for your noodles.
Pour some olive oil into a large pan/wok and add your carrots and red onions.




Put your noodles into your water then place your cabbage leaves on top. Let them simmer while your finish off your vegetables (you can keep dipping the leaves in the water with a fork a little if they are quite big).



Add your leeks, then take a knife and gently cut your sweet corn off the cob - it should come off easily. Now add your sweetcorn, chilli and red pointed pepper. Cook and stir well then ad your mushrooms.


Turn off your noodles and cabbage. Take out your leaves onto a plate, take one cabbage leaf and cut in half, then cut into fine strips and add to your vegetables. Drain your noodles. Add a sprinkle of salt and crushed/ground black peppercorns (remember soy sauce is salty so don't go too heavy on the salt).



Drizzle in some soy sauce and mix well.



Add your noodles and stir well, chop them a little with your spatula mix. Depending on the size of your packet of noodles - only add half the noodles at a time, you don't want a huge amount of noodles than vegetables.



Take your other leaves and put them onto some plates and place your vegetable noodles inside your leaf.



Enjoy Jeenas Vegetable Noodle Surprise.

WE LOVED IT!
