Curried Noodles and Chicken Recipe

 

Day 133.



Blogger was down for maintenance, so this will be a short post to be updated later in case it goes down again. But, this is a fantastic recipe and I hope you all get the chance to try it.



Recipe

Adapted from Curried Noodles recipe.

Ingredients

1 pound macaroni noodles, cooked

1 red onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

1 carrot, sliced or grated

2 C Quorn "chicken" tender cubes

1-2 Tbsp curry powder

2 tsp. garlic powder

1 tsp. dry mustard

1 Tbsp. olive oil

salt & pepper to taste

3 Tbsp. light butter spread

3 Tbsp. cream cheese



Directions

Cook onions, peppers and carrots in oil until softened in a deep skillet.



Add seasonings and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add "chicken" and stir.



Add butter and noodiles and toss to coat - if it appears dry, add a bit of water.



Heat through and add cream cheese and blend throughly.



The Results

We're HUGE curry fans here, so it's no surprise that we loved this dish. Here's how I knew for sure we had a winner. My husband had a bowl and said, "you know, this is not too great. But, being a good husband, I'll eat the rest so you don't have to suffer through it." My reply, "Excellent," as I dove into my own bowl. GO NOW, go make it. The cream cheese is such a simple brilliant way to make the creamy coating for the noodles. Indian recipes would probably use yogurt or coconut milk, but I think the cream cheese really makes the curry stick to the noodles well. So, so good.
