Asian-inspired courgette noodles

Naturally Ella is fast becoming one of my favourite food blogs. The recipes have great flavour combinations and, more importantly, are always reliable.

Serves 4

vegetarian, dairy free, gluten free (depending on the noodles purchased)

Ingredients

300g soba noodles

1 large courgette (450g)

1 medium red onion (140g)

1 small yellow pepper (100g)

2 tbsps sunflower oil

120ml soy sauce

2 tbsps honey

4 cloves garlic

1-2 inch piece of ginger

4 tbsps water

I completely forgot the sesame seeds for the top!

Directions

I didn't alter anything from the original recipe, so head on over to http://naturallyella.com/2013/08/28/garlic-soba-and-zucchini-noodles/ for directions!

Alterations you might wish to make:

  • A different noodle to courgette ratio: I could easily have had more courgette in each serving (just as well with our summer glut!).
  • Tweaks to the sauce: you may prefer less garlic, or more or less honey or soy sauce. The brand of soy sauce you use will also make a difference (we use Kikkoman, which is naturally fermented).

This recipe tastes even better made with vegetables from Community Harvest Whetstone :)
