Mug Curry

Serves 1 Microwave Chaos 💀💀💀🤍🤍

"Random combinations, mixed without a binding agent or logical flavour bridge, lead to confusion on the palate rather than harmony." This is coconut milk, green curry paste, and vermicelli noodles, cooked together in a mug. No wok in sight.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (120ml) coconut milk
  • 1 tsp green curry paste
  • 3 tbsp frozen carrots and peas (or any frozen veg)
  • 1 handful vermicelli rice noodles
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • Cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Sliced red chilli, for garnish (optional)

Method

  1. In a microwave-safe mug, add the coconut milk, green curry paste, lime juice, and frozen veg.
  2. Give this a good stir to combine, then add in your noodles.
  3. Microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, or until the noodles are soft and fully cooked.
  4. Garnish with cilantro and chilli, if you're feeling brave.

Bex's own suggestion: "You could fry chicken and then add with the veggies!" A rare moment where a pan gets involved. Cherish it.
