Peanut Noodle Bowl

| Budget Friendly, 30 Minute Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Pasta and Noodles, Vegetarian, Healthy Lunchbox, Salads

This peanut noodle bowl is the perfect mix of fresh, crunchy veggies and a rich, creamy peanut sauce. It’s quick to make and endlessly adaptable, whether you’re craving tofu, chicken, or any other protein. Packed with vibrant colours and flavours, it’s a healthy, satisfying meal that’s great for lunch, dinner, or meal prep.

Health benefits

Loaded with plant-based protein from tofu and fibre from fresh veggies, this gluten-free and dairy-free peanut noodle bowl is both nutritious and delicious. The healthy fats from peanut butter and olive oil support health, while the colourful vegetables add antioxidants and essential vitamins. It’s a balanced, nutrient-dense meal that will keep you full and satisfied.

Ingredients

The best part about this Thai noodle salad is that it’s made with pantry staples. The ingredients are simple, wholesome and very adaptable. They include firm tofu, fresh veggies like cabbage, carrots, red capsicum (red peppers), coriander (cilantro) and a creamy peanut dressing that’s made with peanut butter, rice vinegar, fresh garlic and tamari. You can easily swap out proteins or use what you have on hand, making it a flexible, go-to recipe for busy days.

How to make this Peanut Noodle Bowl

Making this peanut noodle bowl is super simple. Cook your tofu until golden, then prepare your noodles and veggies. Toss everything together with the homemade peanut dressing, which comes together in minutes. For extra crunch, sprinkle some roasted peanuts on top. Delicious and easy!

Serving suggestions and how to store

Serve your peanut noodle bowl fresh with a sprinkle of roasted peanuts for added crunch. It’s great on its own or paired with extra protein like chicken or boiled eggs. Store any leftovers separately in airtight containers: the tofu in the fridge or freezer, the salad in the fridge, and the dressing in a jar ready for your next meal.

Vary this Peanut Noodle Bowl to suit your dietary needs

To make this dish soy-free, replace the tamari with coconut aminos. For a nut-free version, swap the peanuts and peanut butter with sunflower seeds and tahini. You can also swap the tofu for other proteins like chicken, pork, or eggs, depending on your preference! If you don’t like coriander, swap it with fresh mint or Thai basil.

Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time25 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 4
Author: Well Nourished Team

Ingredients

  • 450 g firm organic tofu – alternative proteins below
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 200 g vermicelli rice noodles
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ red cabbage – finely sliced
  • 1 red capsicum/s – sliced
  • 1 carrot/s – julienne or grated
  • 1 bunch/s fresh coriander leaves – leaves from stems
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper – to taste

Dressing

  • 3 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1 clove/s garlic – crushed
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar – or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp tamari
  • 60 ml water (¼ cup)
  • chilli flakes – to taste, optional

Serve

  • ½ cup/s roasted peanuts – optional
Metric – US Customary

Instructions

  • Heat a large pan over a medium heat. Dice the tofu into cubes. Heat the olive oil in the pan and cook the tofu turning so all sides are golden brown.
  • Pour boiling water over the noodles and set aside (follow the packet directions for preparing the specific noodles you are using). Once they are ready, rinse in cold water, drain well and then toss through a tablespoon olive oil (this prevents them sticking).
  • Prepare the vegetables and combine in a large container (with a lid that you can store them in).
  • Make the dressing by combining all the ingredients together in a jar or bottle. It should be a thick drizzle. If you need to add a little more water, do so.

Serve

  • Arrange your nourish bowl by combining the salad with the noodles and dressing and toss well to coat it evenly. Top with the tofu (or leftover meat) and peanuts.

Make ahead

  • Prep all the components ahead and store the tofu or protein in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • The salad in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • The dressing in a jar or bottle in the fridge.

Store

  • Store the fully prepared salad in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Warm bowl

Heat the tofu (or meat).

Alternative proteins

Replace the tofu with cooked chicken, pork, fish or boiled eggs.

Onion pickle

Lovely with onion pickle added.

Soy-free

Replace the tamari with coconut aminos.

Sticky Mince Nourish Bowl

| Budget Friendly, 30 Minute Meals, Make-ahead Meals, Red Meat, Healthy Lunchbox, Salads

This sticky mince nourish bowl is one of those meals that proves eating well doesn’t need to be complicated. Ready in under 30 minutes, it’s a nourishing mix of savoury-sweet beef mince, fresh herbs, crisp veggies and a little tang from kimchi or pickled onion. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, meal-prep lunches or those evenings when you want something wholesome and deeply satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.

Health benefits

This bowl is rich in both protein and fibre, making it a well-balanced meal to keep you full and energised. With around 35g protein per serve, thanks to the beef and tamari, it supports muscle repair, stable energy and satiety. The peas, capsicum, leafy greens and fresh coriander contribute 7g fibre per serve, which is essential for gut health, hormone balance and steady digestion. As a complete meal, it offers a mix of macronutrients and micronutrients that help you feel nourished and grounded.

Ingredients

The beauty of this sticky mince nourish bowl is in its simplicity. It combines beef mince with garlic, ginger, tamari and coconut sugar to create a sticky, caramelised protein base. Fresh peas, capsicum, coriander, leafy greens and kimchi (or red onion pickle) provide colour, crunch and a burst of freshness. Lemon or lime ties it all together with brightness, while olive oil brings healthy fats.

How to make this Sticky Mince Nourish Bowl

To make this meal, start by heating a pan with olive oil and sautéing the beef, garlic and ginger until cooked through. Once the pan is dry, add the tamari and coconut sugar, increasing the heat so the mince caramelises into a sticky, golden mix. Toss through the peas right at the end for a pop of colour and sweetness. While the mince cooks, prep the coriander, capsicum and greens so everything is ready to assemble. Serve in bowls with your chosen fermented topping and a wedge of lemon or lime to squeeze over just before eating.

Serving suggestions and how to store

Serve the sticky mince nourish bowl as is for a light but filling dinner, or make it heartier by pairing it with steamed rice or quinoa. It also works beautifully as a warm salad with wilted greens, or you can pack it into meal-prep containers for quick lunches through the week. The cooked mince can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for three days or frozen in portions, while the fresh vegetables and herbs are best stored separately and added fresh at serving.

Vary this Sticky Mince Nourish Bowl to suit your dietary needs

If you’d like a soy-free version, simply replace tamari with coconut aminos and adjust the seasoning. For a plant-based take, swap the beef for crumbled tempeh or cooked lentils, which still pair beautifully with the sticky marinade. To make it go further, serve over rice, or bulk up the fibre with extra beans or lentils stirred through.

Easy Red Onion Pickle

| Sauces and Dressings, Staples, Side dishes

I love to have a jar of Easy Red Onion Pickle in the fridge to add extra colour and flavour to meals. They are delicious alongside veggies, grilled or roasted meat, as an addition to wraps, burgers, sandwiches, salads or just a milder way to enjoy onion in salads.

Health benefits

This Easy Red Onion Pickle recipe offers several health benefits. Red onions are packed with antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which helps combat inflammation and supports heart health. Apple cider vinegar is known to improve digestion, which can enhance nutrient absorption. It has also been shown to improve insulin sensitivity supporting stable blood sugar levels. While this recipe doesn’t ferment long enough to create probiotics, apple cider vinegar itself can support a healthy gut by balancing pH levels.

These quick pickled red onions make for a tasty and healthful addition to various dishes, enhancing flavour while offering nutritional benefits.

Ingredients

All you need for these quick pickled onions are a few basic ingredients, including finely sliced red onion, apple cider vinegar, coconut sugar or rapadura, and sea salt.

How to make easy red onion pickle

Warm the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan until everything dissolves. Pop your sliced onions into a jar or mason jar, then pour the hot pickling liquid over the top and press them down so they’re mostly submerged. They soften quite quickly, so just give them a stir over the first hour to help them settle under the liquid.

Serving suggestions and how to store

They’re ready after about fifteen minutes, but the flavour develops beautifully if you chill them. Keep them in a sealed container or jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. Use them anywhere you want a bright pop of flavour: piled onto salads, with grilled meat or fish, slices added into wraps, stirred through bowls or added to burgers. I love this a lot on Smashed Avocado Toast. My whole family adore the taste of these pickled onions and request them weekly.

Vary this easy red onion pickle to suit your dietary needs

You can use any natural sweetener you like (honey, maple syrup, rice malt syrup). Add chilli flakes for heat, mustard seeds or peppercorns for a more traditional vibe, or swap the vinegar for red wine vinegar or white vinegar or white wine vinegar if that’s what you have on hand.

I love to have a jar of quick pickled red onions in the fridge to add extra colour and flavour to meals. They are delicious alongside grilled or roasted meat, as an addition to wraps or a milder way to enjoy onion in salads.

Author: Well Nourished Team

Ingredients

  • 1 red onion/s (large) halved and finely sliced
  • 120 ml apple cider vinegar (½ cup)
  • 2 tbsp coconut sugar or rapadura – or sweetener of your choice
  • 1 tsp sea salt
Metric – US Customary

Instructions

  • Place the apple cider vinegar, sweetener and salt in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve all ingredients.
  • Place the onions into a mason jar or airtight jar.
  • As the pickling liquid comes to the boil, pour it over the onions, making sure you press the onions down to be mostly covered by the liquid. They do collapse as they pickle so for the first hour or so give them a stir until they are below the vinegar.
  • Set the onions aside for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, then they are ready to used or store in the fridge for up to a week.

Serve

  • Delicious alongside grilled or roasted meat, as an addition to wraps or a milder way to enjoy onion in salads.
  • Serve with one of our fabulous Dhal recipes or any of the curries.

Store

  • In an airtight container for up to a week.
