Turmeric, turmeric, turmeric. It’s the ingredient on everyone’s lips right now.

Plus, it’s one good looking soup, didn’t I tell you?

Speaking of Gwyneth, we tried her Singapore rice noodles recipe and recommend that you do too, yep, we got Goop’d. Vegetarian and gluten-free, this is such a simple meal to whip up mid-week and is packed full of veggies and fragrant Asian spices. Feel free to add chicken or beef for extra protein or to bulk up your dish if you’re cooking for a crowd.

I know this dish looks fancy, but I believe in you and you can pull it off. Yes, even on a weeknight. Have all the ingredients at home and ready to go, and these garlic prawn wontons in lemongrass and asparagus broth are going to take 30 minutes in total and the pride you’ll feel as you devour this meal will have you glowing well into the next morning.

One of the healthiest ways to cook fish is to steam it. This Asian-style steamed snapper maintains all the integrity of a whole fish, infused with the Thai flavours of ginger, garlic and chilli that never disappoint. It’s an impressive task to tackle come Friday afternoon, but you’ll never be more excited by Fish Fridays after you add this recipe to your repertoire.

SATURDAY

Not all Asian-inspired meals need noodles. These lemongrass, coconut and chilli mussels are a healthy, fragrant seafood dish perfect for entertaining. Steam these in a large pot and serve to your guest family-style with some crusty bread to ensure no juices get left behind. Surprisingly this recipe does not call for any white wine, which I guess just means more will end up in your glass. That’s lucky, it is Saturday night after all.

SUNDAY

This raw, vegan dish may seem out of your comfort zone, and that's all the more reason to make it this week.Source:bodyandsoul

This zucchini Thai noodle salad from The Farm Cammeray in Sydney is so great for lazy Sundays. It’s a dish so simple, it barely even qualifies as cooking and can be eaten for lunch or dinner, or that mid afternoon meal you have when you’re wrapped up in Sunday-feels and don’t know what time it is or who you are anymore. Same with the Gwyneth noodles, feel free to add chicken or beef strips for an added protein kick, or even just some marinated tofu if you prefer to keep it vegan.
