Two noodly soups!

I have had a real thing for noodles recently - particularly Clearspring brown rice udon noodles which are soooo good!

This first picture is just a basic noodle soup - I stir fried some pak choi, chilli and beansprouts then added some noodles which I had already cooked (about 80g dried to serve one) and some stock and soya sauce. It was so fresh and light and tasty!

This rather ugly looking photo is a Thai green baby aubergine soup - I went to the Asian supermarket on the Ormeau Rd and, among many other things, got curry paste, baby aubergines, pak choi and bean sprouts. I stir fried these with some Thai green curry paste (NB check for fishy ingredients) then added some stock, half a tin of reduced fat coconut milk and, as above, some noodles which I cooked separately. YUMMY!!

Smoked tofu and radicchio

This was inspired by my Italian sister who makes a lasagne using radicchio and smoked cheese. I use it as a lasagne filling or as a pasta sauce but it is also good on its own.

Fry some onion and garlic in oil or fry spray then add a chopped small radicchio, some diced smoked tofu (I use Taifun - I eat half of it before it reaches the pan!) and a tin of cherry tomatoes. Simmer until all cooked - easy!

Mushroom gigantes

I really wanted Gigantes but had no tomatoes. I had mushrooms to use up. So I married the two! I fried mushrooms, onions and garlic in a little olive oil then added lots of oregano and a pinch of cinnamon. Mixed with two tins of beans and baked in the oven. Yums!
