Here is a ‘healing’ recipe with superpowers to help with digestive issues…. Provided you stop after 1 helping 🤪😇 although that will be highly impossible cos this dish is so good, you will not stop eating it… literally!
Jokes apart, this dish has fresh Turmeric root and Ginger root in abundance providing a very earthy flavor. The oil used is Sesame oil which again is one of the healthy oils recommended. These noodles slurp up all the goodness plus looks like sunshine on a plate. Tossed with just roasted cauliflower and tofu, traditional curry noodles gets kicked up a notch with fresh flavor profiles.
Note- Be very careful to grate the fresh Turmeric root in a large plate, even a dot of it colors bright yellow, but keep this in mind, since it is pure and organic, it does not stain, you can wipe it off or scrub it off with simple scouring pad.
I roasted the cauliflowers in a large tray and baked the tofu slab. While these are going, cook the pasta to halve the cooking time. Toss together the aromatics which are just shallots, garlic, Thai basil leaves, turmeric root and ginger root. Add the noodles and coat it with the aromatics to a bright yellow color. Finally add the cauliflowers and tofu cubes. I added a dash of curry powder to provide some more heat, this is completely optional. Finish off with some more Thai basil leaves.
Note – cook the noodles only for half the suggested time, the noodles continues to cook and absorb the flavors when we are tossing them in the wok, cooking it for half the time will provide a nice chewy bite
These noodles are so addictive, we kept going back for several helpings….. try it and find out for yourself!
