Nutritional Information
Protein
Building Blocks
Edamame beans are a complete plant protein, rich in folate for cell growth and vitamin K for bone and blood health. A single cup exceeds daily folate needs, supporting DNA synthesis and overall vitality.
B Vitamins
Energy Production
Nutritional yeast is a powerhouse of B vitamins, including B6, B12, niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin, essential for energy production, brain function, and red blood cell formation. It supports immunity, metabolism, and nerve health while promoting glowing skin, strong nails, and healthy digestion.
Fibre
Supports a healthy gut
The fibre in cabbage, carrots, green beans, and spring onions supports digestion, promotes gut health, and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It also aids in maintaining a healthy weight by increasing satiety and supporting a balanced gut microbiome.
Method
1
Prepare the Mason jar
Put all the prepared ingredients, except the water, soy sauce and lemon/lime juice into the jar.
2
Add the rice noodles (options could include other noodles too)
Place the uncooked rice noodles into each jar, breaking them as needed to fit.
3
Add the boiling water
Pour boiling water into the jar to barely cover everything. Make sure the noodles are submerged. Close the lid and leave to stand for 7 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.
4
Add the sauce and aromatics
Add the finely grated ginger, coriander leaves, minced garlic, soy sauce and lemon or lime. Stir well and eat straight away.
5
Toppers
Sprinkle with nutritional yeast for extra protein - just adding 1 tablespoon provides 5grams alone. You could also try adding baby spinach, black sesame seeds, chilly flakes or even fresh chillies for an extra hearty punch (obviously add child friendly ingredients if preparing as an after school snack)
6
Extra Protein
Power up on protein with this dish with a few small tweaks. Adding 1 tablespoon of peanut butter to the boiled water would provide 3.5 grams of protein (be sure to check for allergies)
Adding 1/4 cup of tofu would provide an extra 6 grams of protein, you could also try adding 1/4 cup of pre-cooked Tempeh chunks which would provide 8 grams of added protein to add variety when this quick, veg packed, noodle snack becomes a weekly go to.
