I thought a tasty and healthy recipe is just what we need right now after all the festive indulgences.
My go-to for a quick and delicious meal is always a big stir fry. I use whatever veggies I have on hand and can mostly rustle the whole thing up from store cupboard ingredients.
My recipe for Veggie Satay Noodles with Quorn Vegan Pieces is perfect – delicious and filling.
To be honest, I could eat a huge bowl of stir fry with a tasty dressing most days. It’s one of the fastest meals ever, and today I’ve added one of my favourite freezer ingredients – Quorn Vegan Pieces. They add brilliant texture to the stir fry.
And, of course, the satay sauce is one of the most delicious sauces EVER! A generous dollop over the stir fry and noodles – amazing!
I hate to waste fresh or cooked veg, and stir fries, curries or soups are a great way to use them up – that’s why I created this recipe for Quorn’s Zero Waste campaign. It also makes it much easier if I’m stocked up with my store cupboard essential condiments and dry goods – I’ve detailed my core range below, they’re definitely worth stocking up on.
I hope you love this, much love, Niki xx
