Low FODMAP Dijon-Thyme Rice Noodles
Silky rice noodles tossed in a glossy Dijon-thyme pan sauce — this dish is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort it takes. The sauce builds in layers: white wine reduces down, chicken broth adds body, and a touch of maple syrup rounds out the sharpness of the mustard into something genuinely craveable. A finishing swirl of butter pulls it all together into a coating that clings to every strand. For anyone navigating a low-FODMAP approach, the garlic flavor comes entirely from garlic-infused oil rather than the clove itself, and only the green tops of scallions are used — two swaps that keep the dish gut-friendly without sacrificing any of the savory depth you'd expect. Rice noodles are naturally a safe base, and portions are sized to stay well within recommended thresholds. Serve it with a squeeze of lemon and a handful of fresh parsley for a bright finish, and you've got four satisfying bowls on the table in under 30 minutes.
