Sometimes nothing beats a Friday night fakeaway — especially when it’s simple, nourishing and on the table faster than your local takeaway can deliver. After a long week of work and responsibilities, there's nothing quite like winding down with a delicious meal. These dishes offer the perfect blend of comfort and convenience, allowing you to enjoy your favourite takeaway classics with a wholesome twist.
Craving noodles? We have the perfect solutions. Dive into our Easy Pad Thai, where tofu, beansprouts, and a zingy sauce come together in just 20 minutes. Or our Spicy Peanut & Mushroom Noodles, a creamy, spicy, umami-rich dish that's perfect for a quick midweek dinner, and the leftovers make a delightful cold lunch.
Inspired by the classic Thai noodle dish, for this easy pad Thai, tofu and crunchy beansprouts are tossed with peanuts, coriander, chilli and a zingy sauce. We use flat rice noodles but udon work well too. If you can't find tamarind paste, substitute ½ tablespoon each of coconut sugar and vinegar (any vinegar — apart from balsamic — will work well).
