Ingredients

Serves = 2

  • 2 cups (500ml) water
  • 200g canned creamed corn
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, crush in a garlic crusher or chop finely
  • 1 teaspoon reduced-salt chicken stock powder (use half of the flavour sachet if you don’t have stock powder)
  • 1 packet 2 minute noodles
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Sliced shallot, roughly chopped coriander and/or sliced red chilli to serve

It’s this easy

  • Add the water, corn, ginger, garlic and stock powder to a pot and bring to the boil.
  • Add the noodles but leave the flavour sachet out. Add the mixed vegetables.
  • Simmer for 2 minutes. Pour the egg slowly in a thin stream all over the noodles.
  • Turn off the heat, the eggs will gently cook in the hot soup. Very gently stir the egg through the noodles.
  • Serve in soup bowls with chopsticks and a soup spoon. Top with shallot, coriander and chilli for extra flavour.

Tweaks

  • Also great with fresh vegetables – zucchini, cauliflower, broccoli, Asian greens and cabbage work especially well
  • Try adding shredded cooked chicken or sliced tofu
  • To make this gluten free use 1 cake (~65g) of rice vermicelli noodles instead of the 2-minute noodles

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

If you want to improve your diet you have come to the right place. By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
