Throughout the class, as I was giving tips and tricks on how to cook a quick, healthy and delicious meal on a busy weeknight, it suddenly dawned on me that it would be very easy to turn any one of the recipe pairings being taught in the class into a complete and nutritious meal. For example, the Mint Kebabs could be rolled into a pita with a dollop of Tatziki and some lettuce and tomato, to make a delicious Mediterranean-inspired sandwich. The Chicken Tikkas could be served along side some rice and Raita, for a delicious Indian flair. Throw in some chopped cucumbers and tomatoes into the Corn Salsa, top it with the Shrimp and you’ll have a filling and tasty salad in a jiffy. The best part in all of this though, is that each and every recipe does not take more than 30 minutes from start to finish – prep time included! It was fun watching the guests getting busy in their work stations, eager to perfect the recipe picked out for their respective table. I’ve taught a number of cooking classes, all in the format of a demonstration, but never a hands-on class where people follow the recipes and make it themselves. All in all, it was a fun time had by all – the food was devoured, cooking techniques were learnt and perfected, wine was paired with every course, and I came home with a happy heart and not to mention, a rumbling tummy.
All through my drive home as it started to lightly snow, I couldn’t get the thought of a big comforting bowl of Thai Curry Noodle Soup out of my mind.
Taking a cue from all the wisdom I had just shared a few minutes ago, I decided to make myself a quick and simple version of Thai Curry Noodle Soup. The noodles were set to boil while the sauce simmered and the veggies were being chopped. Twenty minutes in, I was snuggled on the couch with my feet up, enjoying my well-deserved hot dinner. If you enjoyed this recipe, then you will surely love my Coconut Curry Noodle Soup, Mee Goreng, and Garlic Tofu Noodles recipe as well. Tried this recipe?
