Lifewinners + Mango Curry Noodles
Sunday, March 01, 2015
Hello everyone :-) This weekends recipe is vegan mango curry noodles! I got inspired to make some curry noodles after I had spaghetti with curry sauce at a restaurant the other day. Later I found out that the curry sauce was in fact not vegan which thoroughly annoyed me, so I decided to make a vegan version for myself. Eggs in curry sauce as you'll find out, is completely unnecessary. Before we get into the recipe, let me introduce you all to a company called Lifewinners! They very kindly sent me some products to try out, including the wholemeal quinoa noodles I'll be using in my recipe today. It's made of 3 simple ingredients: wholewheat flour, quinoa and filtered water. They have a whole range of noodles I'm dying to try out. They literally have so many kinds, see for yourself if you don't believe me!
Lifewinners is a company that sells a variety of organic products in Singapore that are healthy and affordable.
If you visit a health food store in Singapore, you're likely to see some products around the store under the brand "Dr Gram". I myself have purchased this brand a couple of times but I never knew that the Dr Gram brand was actually created by Lifewinners Organic! They believe that we should "make every gram count" as everything we consume has an impact on our health. All their products are non-GMO, certified organic or completely natural; with some even cultivated in the wild. No harmful chemicals, additives or preservatives can be found in their range of products. As you can see with Lifewinners you really are winning at life. Hahaha I'm terrible with jokes sorry.
If you're keen on getting your hands on some of Lifewinners products, it's really convenient too! Apart from purchasing them in stores, you can have them delivered to your door. They have an online store that offers free delivery if you spend over $80 (-: Not hard because they have lots of stuff to choose from.
Now on to the recipe. It's so easy but incredibly tasty. It's a sweet curry sauce reminiscent of Indian mango chutney, and it actually goes very well with the wholemeal quinoa noodles. There are 4 bundles of noodles in each package. I just used one for this recipe.
Mango Curry Noodles
Easy, low fat
Yields one serving
The Ingredients
2 tbsp diced onion
1/2 tsp minced ginger
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/4 tsp chili flakes (didn't have fresh chili!)
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp full fat coconut milk
1/2 a mango chopped
1 bundle of wholemeal quinoa noodles
To serve:
Some julienned red bell pepper
Steamed kale
How to
Step one- In a sauce pan, sauté onion, ginger and spices over medium heat for a minute or so. Add water, coconut milk, and mango. Simmer for 15 minutes or longer, stirring periodically, until the curry sauce thickens.Step two- Meanwhile, cook your noodles in boiling water. They take around 3 minutes to cook, which isn't very long so just check to make sure you don't over cook! Once the noodles are softened, drain them in a sieve.
Step three- Mix the curry and noodles together, serve with kale and red pepper and enjoy :-)
Note: The portion size isn't very big, I actually had this alongside some sweet potato. I recommend doubling or tripling the portion if you're a high carb vegan OR you have a big appetite!
