Looking at the recipe ingredients, you may find them quite odd. But fear not! I promise it’s so good. Mixing and matching flavors is what creativity is all about. This was more Thai inspired because of the noodles, coconut milk and curry. But to add substance I had to take this a bit further. This is seriously one of my favorite recipes. And it’s so easy to make! Hope you enjoy…

Ingredients

• 1 8oz packet of Pho noodles
• 2 tsp coconut oil (olive oil)

• ½ cup sundried tomatoes, sliced
• 1 heaping tbsp mint leaves, minced
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 tsp curry powder
• ¼ tsp salt (or to taste)
• ¼ walnuts, optional

TIP: Don’t have mint? Replace with Cilantro or Parsley.

NOTE: If you can’t find Pho Noodles just use a Pad Thai Noodle, a Rice Noodle, or anything you have on hand.

Directions
