Zest Fresh Moong Noodles Recipe
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup Moong Beans (Soak Overnight)
- ½ tsp Cumin seed
- ½ tsp Coriander seed
- 1Tblsp Ghee
- ½ Small Onion (Finely sliced lengthways)
- ½ Green Chilli (Finely sliced)
- ¼ tsp Asafoetida8 Curry Leaves
- ½ tsp Turmeric
- Salt
- 1tsp Ginger (Freshly grated)
- ¾ Cup Carrot (Shredded or Grated)
- ¾ Cup Zucchini (Shredded or Grated)
- ¾ Cup Beans (Cut in half lengthways)
- 150g Bean Thread vermicelli (If unavailable use rice vermicelli)
- ½ cup Coriander (Chopped)
- 2Tblsp Lemon Juice
Method
- Soak Moong Beans overnight.
- Lightly toast the cumin and coriander seeds in a hot pan. Lightly grind the seeds in a Motor & Pestle.
- Boil a kettle and pout the boiling water over the bean thread in a bowl. Mix till all noodles are submerged. Set aside.
- Heat the Ghee using the same pan. Add the Onion and Green Chilli and cook for 3 minutes. Add the Asafoetida and cook for 1 minute. Turn down to a medium heat and add the curry leaves and Turmeric and cook for 2 minutes. Turn up the heat again, add the ginger, soaked moong beans and carrot and cook for 2 minutes. Add seasoning. Add the beans and Zucchini and cook till all vegetables are just cooked.
- Turn own the heat to medium. Using a pair of tongs lift the noodles into the pan. You want a little of the water to come with the noodles to create a light sauce so don’t strain them in a strainer.
- Stir until combined on heat for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add chopped coriander and lemon juice. Check Seasoning and serve.
