17 Feb Spicy Peanut Lime Mushroom Noodles
Friday night is known as the takeaway night. It’s been a long week and for most it’s an exciting day to get a delivery to save cooking. But, just before you make that call question this; how hard did the people who grew the vegetables you can see in this photo? were they paid a fair price? More than 1billion people- predominantly small farmers in developing countries earn their living from rice production. Rice noodles are derived from rice, the rice is soaked for 18hrs where it is naturally fermented, the bacteria culture modifies the texture of starch and gives the noodles a springy texture. The fermented noodles are then ground into a paste combined with water to make it slurry and then compressed and made into noodles. The noodles are then blanched and washed in cold water.
