"Pot Noodles"



"Pot Noodles"



 

 

 

My kids love these "pot noodles" and its an easy and simple way to get some broth into them!

 

 



Ingredients:

3 cups of Broth

1/2 zucchini grated

1/2 carrot grated

1 large handful of mung bean noodles

(also known as glass noodles)

 

Method:

In a small saucepan add the broth, grated zucchini and carrot and then bring them to the boil on the stove top. Add the noodles (you may need to use tongs to help push them down into the broth) and then let it simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the stove and let it sit for another 10 minutes.

 

The noodles are very long so I use a sharp knife and fork to cut them up a little bit and then serve in mugs with a spoon or fork.

 

Notes:

You can buy mung bean noodles at the supermarket in the Asian section at around $1.50 per packet. The noodles are very hard and can be difficult to separate, I like to take them outside to unravel them (as they can get messy!) and then pull off a section at the side. When I have a handful, I then scrunch the rest up and pop them in a freezer bag and store them in the pantry for next time.
