Wilted spinach noodles

Wilted spinach noodles is a simple and nutritious dish that combines the wholesome flavors of rice noodles and fresh spinach. This recipe is perfect for a quick and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. With the right touch of seasoning, it creates a flavorful and satisfying experience.

Ingredients:

1 cup rice noodles
230g
3 cups spinach
90g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Rice Noodles:
- Start by soaking or boiling the rice noodles according to the package instructions until they are tender but still firm to the bite (al dente).
- Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside.
2. Prepare the Spinach:
- While the noodles are cooking, thoroughly rinse the spinach under cold running water to remove any dirt and impurities.
- Gently pat the spinach dry with a paper towel or a clean kitchen cloth.
3. Cook the Spinach:
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the spinach to the skillet. Stir and cook the spinach for about 2-3 minutes, or until it’s just wilted. The spinach should be vibrant green and softened but not mushy.
4. Combine Noodles and Spinach:
- Add the cooked and drained rice noodles to the skillet with the wilted spinach.
- Toss the noodles and spinach together gently until everything is well combined and heated through.
5. Season the Dish:
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Start with a small amount, taste, and add more if necessary to suit your preference.
6. Serve:
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. You can also garnish with additional fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for a fresh touch, if desired.

Tips:

- Make sure to cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions to avoid overcooking.

- You can blanch the spinach briefly in boiling water before adding to the noodles for a brighter green color.

- For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or a dash of soy sauce when cooking the noodles and spinach.

- Add a protein source like grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp to make the dish more substantial.

- Experiment with different types of noodles like soba or whole wheat pasta if you want a variation.

Wilted spinach noodles are not only easy to make but also packed with nutrients from the spinach and the rice noodles. This dish makes a great weeknight meal or a light lunch. Enjoy this delicious, healthy recipe that can be customized to your taste with different seasonings or added vegetables.
