Noodley Lunch

admin

Makes 5 servings

I made a double-batch of this for weekday lunches for my fiance and myself. If I made it again Id probably double up on the broccoli. Altogether it took me around 45 minutes from boiling water to putting things away.

Ingredients:

  • 9.5 oz dry noodles (I used whole wheat udon)
  • 15 oz can corn
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 lb mixed vegetables (I used broccoli and cauliflower)
  • 1lb baby carrots
  • 1 tsp garlic salt

Instructions:

  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and add your noodles and mixed veggies.
  2. Scramble eggs in a skillet, only seasoning at the end.
  3. Drain and rinse corn.
  4. Drain noodle-veggie mixture, seasoning as desired.
  5. Split everything into 5 equal-ish portions, keeping baby carrots separate and mixing everything else together. Put into containers and refrigerate.

Alteration options:

  • Use canned carrots and add them into the main mix at the end
  • Use pre-cooked noodles or rice, usually found refrigerated or frozen

Vegan: Omit eggs, add canned or cooked beans for bulk and protein
Gluten free: Use brown rice noodles
Keto: Use spiralized vegetables or shirataki noodles in place of wheat. Replace corn and carrots with lower-carb veg as desired.
HCLF Vegan: Same as vegan
Soy free: Make normally
Egg free: Same as vegan
Nut free: Make normally
