Recipe: High Protein Pea Noodle Stir Fry + Veganuary with M&S

Scroll down for my recipe for High Protein Pea Noodles for a healthy start to the year.

To celebrate January aka ‘Veganuary’ M&S invited myself and other bloggers to a sumptuous vegetarian banquet to showcase their vegetarian, vegan and ‘freefrom’ ranges. I especially liked the High protein pea noodles as you will read further down.

The tables were decorated in such a creative way with vegetables as the stars of the night in more ways than one! The reason for the vegetarian banquet was to give us an idea of the extensive range of new plant based products in M&S stores for the Spring.

Chefs produced a marvelous menu based on plant based ingredients with delicious plates like Pea & ricotta ravioli, lemon & mint;

Whole roasted cauliflower, coconut & lentil dahl;

Warm supergrain salad, spicy hollandaise

And of course Warm high protein pea noodle salad, crispy tofu with orange & lime dressing which is the recipe I have recreated at home. All of the branded ingredients are available in-store. My finished dish:

If you are vegetrian and fancy a nice glass of wine with your food M&S have a range of vegetarian wines available in store too. Read on below for the full recipe
