Ingredients
This dish can have multiple variations such as mung bean past or substituting the mung bean pasta for dhal.

Method:
- Break pasta or the dhal into the saucepan and add chopped ginger,
then chopped vegetables (except spinach). - Add water to almost cover vegetables, place on stove and bring to the boil
(optional – add soy sauce or salt). - Once the ingredients come to the boil, lower the heat to a simmer and
cover with a lid. - Simmer until either the pasta or lentils are cooked, adding the chopped
spinach when almost done.
Serve in bowls, adding more soy sauce, meal booster, or savoury yeast as per your taste.
This is a quick and nutritious meal that will warm you up for winter – enjoy!
