Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then add a splash of walnut oil (or other neutral oil) and salt, and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. In the meantime, wash the broccoli and divide it into florets, peel and slice the carrots, chop the onions, ginger, and garlic (if using), and chop the lemongrass. Heat a little oil in a small pot and sauté half of the onions and the lemongrass. Add the coconut milk, fill the can about a quarter full with water, and add it as well. Season the coconut sauce with salt and pepper (or stock if you like) and let it reduce slightly. Then strain through a sieve, season to taste, and keep warm. Heat a little oil in a large wok, sauté the remaining onion, ginger, and garlic until translucent, season with curry, turmeric, and chili, and fry the spices briefly. Add the broccoli florets, carrot slices, and about half a ladle of the coconut sauce. Cover and simmer for 7 to 10 minutes (depending on how crunchy you like your vegetables). While the vegetables are cooking, dice the tomatoes (if you don’t like tomato skin, you can briefly soak them in hot water and peel them, but you won’t notice much of the skin). Add the tomatoes to the vegetables and sauté briefly. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired. Drain the pasta after cooking and briefly blend the coconut sauce. Arrange the pasta on deep plates, then the vegetables, and pour the sauce over them (or mix everything in the pot).
