Mummy's Pot Noodle

Always popular with kids, but the ones you buy are really high in salt. It only takes a few minutes to make your own and it’s fun to serve them in a cup, a bit like pot noodles. This chicken noodle recipe would make a good snack after school…

Ingredients
150g (5 oz) fine Chinese style dried egg noodles or use straight to wok noodles
250ml (8 fl oz) chicken stock
3 tsp dark soy sauce
50 g(2 oz) frozen peas
75g (3 oz) drained canned or frozen sweetcorn
100 g (4 oz) cooked chicken, shredded
1tsp cornflour
1 spring onion, sliced

Method:
Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions (or use pre-cooked noodles). Drain and set aside. Put the stock, soy sauce, peas, sweetcorn and chicken in a pan over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.

In a small cup, mix the cornflour with 2 teaspoons of cold water and add to the contents of the pan then cook, stirring, for a further minute until the liquid thickens slightly. Add the noodles and spring onion and reheat briefly, stirring.

Rice Krispies Squares

Adding oats for long lasting energy, nuts for protein and dried apricots for betacarotene gives these Rice Krispie squares a healthy twist for snack food. They are very easy for children to prepare and require no cooking.

Ingredients
100g white chocolate
75g unsalted butter
75g golden syrup
60g Rice Krispies
60g porridge oat
50g chopped dried apricots
30g pecans, finely chopped

Method:
Melt together the chocolate, butter and syrup. In a large bowl mix together the Rice Krispies, oats, dried apricots and pecans. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture.

Line a fairly shallow 20cm (8 in) square baking tin. Spoon the mixture into the tin and level the surface with a potato masher.

Place in the fridge to set and cut into squares before serving.

Information
Store in the fridge
Makes 9 squares
