RICE NOODLE VEGETABLE STIR FRY

Welcome back guys! Today on the blog Im sharing this Rice Noodle vegetable & Tofu stir fry which is really perfect for a asian inspired lunch or dinner, and easy to whip together as it doesnt take very long to cook or prep. the recipe is inspired by common flavours of Thailands cuisine, which have a special place in my heart.

After Living in Thailand for 6 months I completely fell in love with their culture and cuisine. The mix between ginger, garlic, chili and lime with a dazzle of thai basil leafes or koriander on top is in my book un-beatable! in this dish you have the spicy, the sour, the sweet, the bitter and Umami flavours all blended together.

What I always really admired the local chefs in thailand for, was their ability to combine every taste so perfectly that the overall dish becomes truly amazing, despite it being very simple to make. That is in my eyes the art of cooking! making something mind blowingly simple taste like it took hours in the kitchen!

so without further ado - Let‘s get cooking!
