VEGETARIAN: Quinoa Noodles with Vegetables

Hello everyone!

Ever wonder why you are so thirsty after eating Chinese food at restaurants?

I can answer that, it is because of MSG also known as monosodium glutamate. MSG is a flavour enhancer and is commonly added to Chinese food among many other foods. Even though it is FDA approved, it is still very controversial which is why I prefer not to eat Chinese food  out unless I absolutely have to. Another thing that concerns me are the ingredients because I prefer to eat organic food which is usually not available at Chinese restaurants. Instead I prefer to use organic vegetables, healthier noodles, and coconut aminos rather than soy sauce.

  1. This is truly awesome, never knew quinoa noodles existed! I hope I can find it in the UK, will be sure to give it a try. Have you tried spiralized courgette noodles? They’re another amazing way to pack veggies into what would otherwise be a ‘naughty’ meal 🙂

    1. Hi Anita,

      Quinoa noodles are awesome! 🙂 And yes of course you will be able to find it in UK. I was in UK a month ago and I found it at Tesco. Tesco had everything which I was really surprised about but I loved it. You are absolutely right about Courgette noodles. They are my favourite, a great way to get the veggies, easy to make and super light. How do you make courgette noodles?
