pak choi or choi sum, thickly shredded
Juice 1 lime
Large handful coriander, finely chopped
Directions
Step 1Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6 and line a medium roasting
tin with baking parchment. In a small
bowl, whisk the miso, honey, 1tbsp oil
and some freshly ground black pepper
until combined. Empty the squash into
the roasting tin and mix through the
miso mixture, until coated. Roast for
30min, or until beginning to caramelise
around the edges.
Step 2Meanwhile, heat remaining 1tbsp oil in
a large pan over low heat and cook the
onion and a large pinch of salt for 10min,
until softened. Stir in the ginger, curry
paste, 1/2tsp salt (or to taste) and plenty
of freshly ground black pepper, and
cook for 1min, until fragrant.
Step 3Add the coconut milk and 800ml
water, increase heat to medium-high
and bring to the boil. Add the noodles,
cook for 3min, then add the sugar snap
peas and choi sum/pak choi, and
simmer for 2min, or until the noodles
and vegetables are tender.
Step 4Add the roasted squash, the lime juice
and most of the coriander to the pan.
Check seasoning. Ladle into 4 bowls and
garnish with remaining coriander. Serve.
For added protein, add cooked chicken, prawns or seared steak to your soup.
If cooking for vegetarians or vegans, choose a suitable curry paste.
You can use other noodles, if you fancy; just adjust cooking time as needed.
