Ingredients

Curry

  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 150g roasted capsicum, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp minced ginger
  • 2 baby bok choy, thinly sliced
  • 1-2 Tbsp Panang curry paste
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • 2 cans brown lentils, drained & rinsed
  • 100g baby spinach
  • Juice of 1 lime

Noodles

  • 250g vermicelli noodles, string removed

To Serve

  • 1/2 bunch coriander, leaves picked
  • 40g peanuts

Steps

  1. Bring a full kettle to the boil. Prep veggies. Prep onion, roasted capsicum, garlic, ginger and bok choy and set aside.
  2. Cook noodles. Place noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Use a fork to separate strands. Leave for 5 minutes, then drain. Drizzle with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking and snip with scissors in a few places to make them easier to eat. Keep warm.
  3. Cook curry. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes, until softened. Add roasted capsicum, garlic, ginger, Panang curry paste (add to suit spice preference) and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Add coconut milk and stock to pan and stir to combine. Add lentils, bring to a simmer and cook for about 1 minute. Add bok choy and spinach and cook a further 1-2 minutes, until veggies have softened. Remove from heat, stir through lime juice and season to taste with soy sauce.
  5. Prep coriander.
  6. Serve noodles topped with curry, coriander and peanuts.
