Ok so I'm a bit fed up with sandwiches. Since becoming a SAHM I have got a bit stuck in a rut with lunch ideas, but definitely can't be arsed to cook a full-on hot meal every lunch time.
I had a Waitrose own brand version one of those Innocent Veg Pots the other day - a chicken and noodle one and it was yum. It felt much more nourishing and healthy than what I normally eat.
So... I decided I wanted to make my own, using a mixture of fresh and storecupboard ingredients, and using a microwave - no pans to wash up. I know this isn't exactly revolutionary, btw, but here is version one - if anyone's interested. It was very tasty, and ds (3y) liked it too, especially as he got to eat it with his kiddy chopsticks!

1 portion fine straight-to-wok noodles
grated: ginger, garlic, half a carrot
sweetcorn, fresh or tinned beansprouts, some leaves (I used baby spinach)
1 sachet miso paste
1 spring onion, snipped
squeeze of lime juice
shredded cold leftover roast chicken

Pour on boiling water, stir, and microwave on full for 3 mins

I added a sprinkle of sweet chilli sauce and a bit of soy to mine. Really yummy, and warming on a rainy day.

(p.s. I didn't know whether to post this in 'food' or 'recipes' so I did both Blush .

It was Waitrose, I think - but I'm pretty sure I've bought them from Sainsbury's or Tesco before too.
