Crispy Fish and Rice Noodle Bowl with Mache

Symptom check-in

POTS: I had dizziness every time I stood up today or went up stairs and my heart rate keeps jumping today. I needed carbs plus salt, and I needed dinner fast. Noodles are the easiest carb for me when I am not trying to cook.

Vestibular migraine: No vestibular migraine symptoms today - no vertigo, no nausea, no light sensitivity.

Lupus: No lupus symptoms today - no joint pain or stiffness.

Disorder safety check

Condition	Works?	Why
POTS	Yes	Carbs plus salty protein helps stabilize me; add extra salt or a salty sauce if needed
Vestibular migraine	Usually	Plain bowl with minimal triggers; watch any sauces (soy, vinegar, spicy oils) if those bother you
Lupus	Yes	Balanced and simple, not heavily processed beyond the breading

Ingredients (1 bowl)

• 1 to 2 cups cooked rice vermicelli (thin rice noodles)

• 1 breaded fish fillet (store-bought or homemade), cooked and chopped

• 1 to 2 cups mache or spinach

• Salt and pepper

Optional simple add-ons (choose based on tolerance)

• Olive oil + salt (very safe)

• Sesame oil (small amount)

• Coconut aminos or a mild soy sauce (for salt - skip if migraine-triggering)

2. Cook breaded fish (air fry, bake, or pan-fry) and chop into bite-size pieces.

3. Add greens to a bowl. Top with noodles and fish.

4. Season with salt and a small drizzle of oil if you want it less dry.
