I feel I ought to apologise to my readers for the decided lack of recipe posts on my blog lately.
It’s not for lack of experimenting (I’ve had quite a few failures recently!), it’s just that I’ve been busy doing outdoor stuffs. Other things. Adventuring, wandering, exercising, working on my fitness levels.
The sun has been coming out more and more frequently and so I’ve taken to the hills or the clifftops or the sea shores for some long needed leg stretching after a winter spent stuck mostly indoors.
Just look at those dramatic seascapes? How could you not want to go adventuring in this playground when the sun shines?
I’ve taken to sharing little snippets like these photos above on my Instagram feed instead of writing entire blog posts dedicated to them. I’m contemplating buying myself a swish fancy new phone to make sharing easier. At the moment I have to take a photo with my camera, upload it to my computer, edit it in Photoshop, stick it in Dropbox, download it from Dropbox onto my iPad and then add it to Instagram. However, I detest shopping and the whole idea of shopping around for the best price deal puts me off even looking for a new phone. If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
After my last glorious walk – the Silwick/Westerwick Circular – my eldest son had his very last parent teacher meeting at his school. He’s moving on up to the high school in the town after the end of this school year (don’t even get me started on how I feel about that – sad face!), so it was somewhat important that I attend this very last parent teacher meeting.
It was about then that I started feeling like death.
Cold sweats, sensitive skin, general malaise. In the absence of sneezing, a runny nose, fever or a sore throat it’s hard to tell why such symptoms are occurring, but I had to go to this meeting. Apparently I didn’t hide my feeling poorly as well as I’d intended as his science teacher commented to him the next day that I didn’t look like I was feeling very well!
I ended up taking the next day off work as I could barely stand for any length of time without breaking out in a sweat. I lay down on the couch at 11:30 am and didn’t get off the couch until this morning at 6 am, binge watching Sleepy Hollow on Amazon Prime. I’m feeling marginally better today* (knock on wood!) and have managed to get some work done, and I made myself this lovely sweet chilli salmon stir fry noodle bowl for lunch as total medicinal comfort food.
The phrase “eating the rainbow” sprang to mind as I prepared this nutritious high protein lunch for myself. I’m still all about the protein even though my body’s not co-operating! I used red, orange and yellow peppers – half a pepper of each, plus the tips of some lovely tenderstem broccoli.
I’m a big fan of soba noodles and always keep a packet in my pantry – their buckwheat flavour really appeals to me – and hot smoked sweet chilli salmon is making a very regular appearance in my fridge just now.
I also added a giant clove of garlic, crushed, and a thumb sized piece of fresh ginger root cut into matchsticks. Surely all the goodness in this dish will help my immune system boost whatever (likely of school origin!) virus is attacking my system.
Plus, this recipe is super tasty and ready in under 15 minutes. Win!
*actually, I’m not. I’m heading back to the couch.

Ingredients
- 0.5 tbsp coconut oil
- 200 grams mixed sweet peppers finely sliced

Instructions
- Bring a kettle of water to the boil. Measure out 250 ml, pour into a small saucepan and crumble 1/2 the stock cube into it. Cook the soba noodles in the fish stock.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil over a medium high heat in a saute pan.
- Stir fry the sliced peppers (I used red, yellow and orange), the broccoli, ginger and garlic until the peppers begin to soften but they still retain some texture, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the noodles and the fish stock to the saute pan along with half of the spring onion. Flake in the salmon and bring to the boil so that the stock evaporates and the fish heats up.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining spring onion and the finely sliced red chilli, if desired.
