Quinoa Noodles Vegetable Curry Recipe
A quinoa noodles vegetable stir fry is delicious and healthy. So, see how to make this recipe, and why these noodles are better than others.
In Darwin, you can sometimes get these noodles at shops like Greenies. But they’re often sold out too.
Mail order will definitely work for you, but you need to order enough to make it worthwhile after the postage.
So, if you like them, consider ordering them with a friend.
The package looks like what you see in the picture. I’ve included some other snips from the same box, to let you know more about them.
By the way, Woolworths does have various other plant based pastas… such as from red lentils, chickpeas, ordinary peas, and other pulses. I will do a recipe on one of these soon.
