reminder – reduce water content from 420g to 150g. Too watery otherwise particularly if noodles are precooked .

This recipe (see link above ) for Singapore noodles from Quirky Cooking is super, super tasty . Love this dish , curry flavour with coriander and lime yum ! Makes a full thermoserver and is one of those dishes that always tastes better the next day so great to have in fridge for snacks . We topped with fresh coriander , chilli sauce and lime . Fantastic food for winter chills . Miss 16 will take to school for lunch .

We use thermomix for first half of the recipe from sautéing the onion garlic carrot and chicken . Then used the pan to stir fry all together with noodles and chinese cabbage because we upped the cabbage content slightly  to over what would fit in the tmx. Reduced water content because we used rice noodles instead of vermicelli bean thread noodles.  And precooked the rice noodles for a few minutes in boiling water . Easily one of my favourite all in one meals .

Tomato Pasta sauce

The above highly rated  pasta sauce recipe is better than the one in the BCB. Can add any vegetables you have leftover in fridge. Reduced the olive oil to 110g and left out salt , added later to taste as recommended by other members in the comments section .

Didn’t  bliz at the end to leave a bit chunkier . Love the heat from the white pepper. Perfect for miss 10 recovering from winter cold. Delicious.
