Ingredients

Curry

  • 1 pack roasted capsicum
  • 2 baby bok choy
  • 1 brown onion
  • 2 cans lentils
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp minced ginger
  • 1-2 Tbsp Panang curry paste
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • 1 pack baby spinach
  • Juice of 1 lime

Noodles

  • 1 pack vermicelli noodles, string removed

To Serve

  • 1/2 bunch coriander leaves
  • 1 pack peanuts

Steps

  1. Prep veggies Roughly chop capsicum, thinly slice bok choy and onion, drain and rinse lentils. Prep garlic and ginger.
  2. Cook noodles Bring a full kettle to the boil. Place noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Use a fork to separate strands. Leave for 5 minutes then drain. Drizzle with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking and use kitchen scissors to cut in a few places to make them easier to eat. Keep warm.
  3. Start curry Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, deep fry-pan or pot on medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes, until softened. Add capsicum, garlic and ginger, Panang curry paste (add to suit heat preference) and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring for about 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  4. Add coconut milk and vegetable stock to pan and stir to combine. Add lentils, bring to a simmer and cook for about 1 minute.
  5. Finish curry Add bok choy and spinach and cook a further 1-2 minutes, until veggies have softened. Remove from heat, stir through lime juice and season to taste with soy sauce.
  6. Serve vermicelli topped with curry, coriander and peanuts.
