#237 purple sprouting broccoli with rice noodles

from plenty

i made this dish the night before thanksgiving for my family, which was really quite ambitious. after a few ottolenghi meals, a whole thanksgiving feast, and then challah from scratch the next day, i was completely burnt out on cooking. anyways, this recipe was really great with one exception, i hated using the thick rice noodles in this way. the idea was to have a curry sauce that coated the noodles rather than have the noodles floating in a bowl of soup, which would have been great if it was the thin rice noodles instead of the thick, tough ones. my thai sister-in-law pointed out that these are usually used for stir fries. anyway, i actually really enjoyed the fragrant green curry inspired sauce with coconut milk, shallot, galangal, lime leaves, lemongrass and lime juice, i would just make a simple sub of thin rice noodles next time.
