Jumping back on the ‘healthy’ bandwagon

One of my favourite things about visiting Thailand was enjoying the fresh, vegetable-rich and delicious Thai cuisine.

Josh and I took a cooking class, and a while ago I shared the Thai Green Curry recipe which we both absolutely loved.

So after a weekend of rather indulgent eating and drinking (here is a taste-test)…

I was delighted to come home this Sunday night to one of my favourite home made Thai meals, thanks mum 🙂

Pad Thai

 Ingredients

-3 Eggs (can use tofu, meat or chicken instead)
-1 Red/Green capsicum
-Mushrooms
-Shallots (spring onion)
-Lemon
-Thai egg noodles
-Pad Thai sauce
-Chopped peanuts to serve
-Bean sprouts

Method
-To prepare, chop vegetables and soak egg noodles for 5 minutes (or according to pack instructions)

Best part about it? Packed lunch for tomorrow! (Half Pad Thai, half spinach and capsicum salad)

Perfect Sunday night cap 🙂
