Vegan spicy coconut and lime sauce

21st June 2019 by letseatsmart Leave a Comment

Hey friends! How are we? Are you ready for some next-level vegan, spicy, oh-so-creamy, coconut and lime noodles? I know – who isn’t?

I got a little addicted to noodles when I discovered Wagamama back in 2017. Yes, I know, I was super late to the party but you guys, I’m obsessed. If you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you definitely should) you probably know this but when I said I got a little addicted… I meant I eat there at least twice a week. NOODLES ARE LIFE.

Anyway, this sauce came to my mind as I was falling asleep (although it turns out coconut and lime sauce is actually a thangggg). Does your brain ever do cray cray things like that? I remember waking up the following morning thinking I JUST HAVE TO MAKE THIS. And I’m so glad I did. The flavour, the aroma, the versatility – I’m obsessed. And I think you’re going to love it too. I served mine on a bed of rice noodles and boyyyy I was in noodle heaven.

The great thing about this recipe is that you can use literally any vegetables you want. I opted in for a relatively simple, chestnut mushroom and pepper version however, I have since made it with baby corns, sugar snap peas & asparagus (sounds like a weird combo I grant you but that’s what I found in my fridge and not gonna lie it was totally delicious).

This recipe is:

  • Warm
  • Comforting
  • Satisfying
  • Rich but healthy
  • Loaded with yummy veggies!

Vegan spicy coconut and lime noodles

The perfect quick vegan dinner or lunch.
Course: Dinner, Lunch
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 onion finely chopped
  • 1 cup chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 1-2 peppers, sliced
  • 1 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1/2 cup vegetable stock
  • 3 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 garlic clove, pressed
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 cup full fat tinned coconut milk or coconut cream
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tbsp lime zest

Instructions

  • Melt the coconut oil in a large pan over a medium high heat. Add the chopped onion, peppers and mushrooms sauté for a few minutes to soften.
  • Add the chilli flakes, vegetable stock, lime juice, garlic, salt, black pepper and coriander. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce down to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes before adding the coconut milk, turmeric and lime zest then bring to simmer again for another 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

Optional

  • If you want the sauce to be a little thicker, mix 1 tablespoon of corn starch with 1 tablespoon of water and add into the sauce. You may need to raise the heat slightly to bring this to a boil to activate the corn starch.

AD This week I’ve had the pleasure of working w AD  This week I’ve had the pleasure of working with one of my favourite hummus brands @chicpfood ✨ Their hummus is made from wonky veggies to try and reduce waste and their objective is to change people’s attitudes to food prep, consumption & waste.  Naturally I had to make some yummy flatbreads to dip into their delicious hummus. They came out amazing! 🤩  Turmeric, ginger and garlic vegan flatbreads 🫓 
Makes 4 small or 2 large flatbreads (which lasted about 0.5 seconds in my house - in other words - double the recipe 😂)  Ingredients 
* 130g plain flour
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
* 1 tsp turmeric
* 1 tsp ginger
* 1 tsp basil
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 1 tablespoons olive oil
* 1/2 teaspoon golden syrup
* 90ml cold water
* Vegetable oil for cooking  Instructions  * In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, turmeric, ginger and basil. Once combined, add the garlic, olive oil, golden syrup and most of the water (save a little to add later if necessary).
* Mix using a silicone spatula to form a dough. If the dough seems a little dry, add the remaining water. Knead for 4-6 minutes then transfer onto a floured work surface, cover with a clean tea towel and leave for 5 minutes.
* Divide the dough into four (or 2 if making larger ones) pieces. Dust each piece in a little flour and roll into a disc. 
* Add two tablespoons of oil to a pan over medium heat. When the oil looks shimmery, add a flatbread and cook until golden on one side, flip and cook until golden on the second side (1 to 2 minutes on each side).
* Once cooked, transfer to a plate and cover with a clean tea towel to keep warm. Continue with the remaining flatbreads and if the pan looks a little dry, add a bit more oil before continuing.  #poweredbyplants #flatbreads #bread #veganuary #hummus
