Nutritional Information
Iron
enhances blood oxygenation.
Rice noodles provide selenium, a trace mineral essential for DNA synthesis, thyroid function, and antioxidant defence. Selenium also boosts immune function and may lower the risk of chronic diseases.
Magnesium
supports muscle health.
Edamame beans are packed with iron, crucial for oxygen transport and preventing anaemia, and folate, vital for DNA synthesis and repair. These nutrients support overall health, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health.
Vitamin C
boosts immune function.
Peanut butter is rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that protects cells and supports immune function, and niacin, which helps convert food into energy and maintain healthy skin and nerves. These nutrients also play a role in lowering cholesterol and reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
Method
1
Prepare the Pans
Heat two pans over medium heat, dividing the sesame oil between them. Boil the kettle for the noodles.
2
Cook the Broccoli & Sauté the Mushrooms
Add the broccoli florets to one pan and cover with a lid to steam slightly. Add the sliced mushrooms to the other pan and cook until softened. Add your choice of veggies if you wish.
3
Add Aromatics
After about 5 minutes, remove the lid from the broccoli, add 1 crushed garlic clove, and cook for a few more minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the broccoli is bright green and tender.
4
Make the dressing
Mix the tahini, lime juice, remaining 2 crushed garlic cloves, soy sauce, and nutritional yeast flakes in a bowl. Gradually add warm water until the dressing reaches the consistency of double cream.
5
Prepare the Noodles
Place the noodle nests in a large bowl and cover with boiling water. Cook according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse with cold water.
6
Combine the dish + Toppers
Pour the dressing over the noodles, broccoli, mushrooms, and edamame beans, mixing well to coat. Top with sesame seeds and chili flakes (if using), and serve with a lime wedge for squeezing over just before eating. Enjoy hot or cold!
