I’ve been getting into Ayurveda lately, it’s an ancient method of figuring out how your body works on a deeper level and how to heal with food.
This suits my dosha & it’s yummy and feels calming to eat. Which hangers for an overstimulated nervous system like mine. Recipe below.
Soothing Chicken & Vermicelli Noodle Bowl (Kapha–Pitta Friendly)

Method
Cut sweet potatoe in half and roast 30min in airfryer or oven on 180c. I put ghee and salt on mine to roast
Cook chicken in a Tbsp of ghee till almost done and remove from pan.
Add veggies to fry pan and cook for 1 min along with grated ginger
Place noodles in a bowl, add chicken broth powder and boiling water for 4min until softened
Add sauce to veggies, cook 2 min.
I also added a bit extra broth to the veggies
Add chicken and noodles into frypan and cook for another minute
Assemble in a bowl, place sweet potato on bottom, add noddles, veggies and chicken on top, ladle some broth on top and enjoy.
Adjust flavour to taste
Add sweet chilli for kids
Add a splash more tamari for depth
Add extra broth if you prefer it soupy
To Serve
Top with spring onions
Add a drizzle of sesame oil only if you want (optional and avoid if heavy for Kapha)
Add lime if you have it
