Butternut Tom Yum Fettucine
This recipe
serves 4.
Ingredients
Fettuccine (or pasta of choice) - 1 packet |
Vegan tom yum paste - 1 packet (200g) |
Coconut Cream - 200 ml |
Japanese cucumber - 1 nos |
Butternut - 1 nos |
Olive oil - 100g |
Salt and Pepper - to taste |
Coriander - 50g |
Steps
1. Bring salted water to a boil (1 part salt to 10 parts water). Once water is boiling, submerge pasta fully for 8mins, or until preferred texture.
2. Strain pasta and drizzle olive oil to prevent pasta from sticking together.
3. Saute tom yum paste and some olive oil on medium-low heat until fragrant. Add in coconut cream and stir constantly. Be mindful of paste drying out at the bottom. Additional coconut cream can be added if too spicy. Set aside.
4. Remove seeds and cut butternut into desired shape and thickness. Grill over pan with olive oil, salt and pepper until fork tender.
5. Slice cucumber thinly.
6. Bring tom yum sauce to a slow boil. Place pasta in and stir constantly for 30 secs.
7. Plate your dish together, first with pasta, then top with butternut, cucumber and garnish coriander leaves. Enjoy!
