Introduction 

Let’s be honest. 

When hunger hits after a long day, most of us reach for something quick. 

Noodles, fried snacks, or takeout often become the easiest options because they are convenient and full of flavour. But the problem is that many of these meals are usually low in protein and fibre, which means they may not keep you full for long. 

That’s where this recipe changes the game. 

This Manchurian Vermicelli Noodles Bowl takes a familiar comfort meal and gives it a nutritious upgrade. 

Instead of regular refined noodles, we use Prolicious Millet Vermicelli, made with wholesome ingredients that make the meal more balanced. 

The Manchurian gets a complete makeover too. 

Traditional Manchurian is usually deep-fried and made mainly with vegetables and flour. Here, we combine purple cabbage, carrots, spices, oats flour, and one scoop of Prolicious UP It to create a steamed, protein-enriched Manchurian that is lighter yet satisfying. 

Everything comes together in one bowl making it the perfect recipe for people who want healthy food without complicated cooking. 

Because eating better doesn’t always need meal prep, fancy ingredients, or hours in the kitchen. 

Sometimes, it’s simply about upgrading the meals you already love.

Why This Recipe is a Smart Choice for Weight Management 

Weight management is not only about eating less. 

It is also about choosing meals that keep you satisfied. 

Many quick meals are high in refined carbohydrates but low in protein and fibre, which may lead to frequent hunger and cravings. 

This recipe offers a better balance. 

The combination of: 

• Millet vermicelli 
• Vegetables 
• Purple cabbage 
• Oats flour 
• Prolicious UP It 

creates a meal that provides protein, fibre, and volume. 

Protein helps support fullness, while fibre from vegetables and millet-based ingredients helps make meals more satisfying. 

For people with busy lifestyles who don’t always have time for elaborate cooking, recipes like this make healthy eating more realistic. 

Benefits of Purple Cabbage in This Recipe 

Purple cabbage is not just added for colour. 

It is packed with naturally occurring nutrients that support everyday health. 

Rich in Antioxidants 

Purple cabbage contains anthocyanins, natural plant compounds responsible for its vibrant colour. These antioxidants help protect cells from oxidative stress. 

Supports Fibre Intake 

The fibre content helps support digestion and contributes to better satiety. 

Adds Volume Without Making the Meal Heavy 

Adding vegetables like cabbage and carrots increases the portion size while keeping the meal balanced. 

Why Adding UP It Makes This Meal High in Protein 

The biggest upgrade in this recipe comes from adding Prolicious UP It. 

Unlike traditional Manchurian recipes that mainly rely on flour and vegetables, UP It adds a protein boost using ingredients like whole moong flour and defatted peanut flour. 

Adding UP It helps transform a regular comfort meal into a more balanced option. 

This makes the recipe: 

• More filling 
• Higher in protein 
• Better suited for active lifestyles 
• More supportive of everyday nutrition goals 

Tips & Variations

You can add: 

• Bell peppers 
• Mushrooms
