Vegetable Lo Mein

Vegetable Lo Mein

by Pam on October 31, 2012

I found this recipe on MyRecipes[1] and thought it would pair perfectly with the Orange-Ginger Shrimp Skewers[2] and the Garlicky Green Beans[3].  It was easy to make and a great way to use up the extra veggies I had in the refrigerator.  I used whole wheat spaghetti instead of Chinese egg noodles so this dish would be a bit healthier and I really loved the nutty flavor the noodles gave to the dish.  My children, on the other hand, said they liked the dish but they didn’t like the noodles as much as the noodles their favorite Chinese restaurant used.  I told them that they were MUCH healthier than the other noodles but they didn’t seem to care about the health benefits – weird.  Anyway, I loved this side dish and thought it went really well with the rest of the meal.

Cook noodles in salted water per instructions.  Drain and mix with the sesame oil.  Combine the hoisin and soy sauce together in a small bowl then set aside.

Heat 1/2 tbsp into a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add the mushrooms, carrot, bell pepper, red onion, and green onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2-4 minutes.  Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.  Remove from the skillet into a bowl and set aside.

Add the other 1/2 tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet and add the noodles.  Cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes or until light brown.  Pour the hoisin  mixture onto the noodles followed by the veggies, sprouts, and half  of the cilantro.  Stir until evenly coated and well combined.  Pour into the serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro.  Serve immediately.  Enjoy.

Spicy Thai Curry Soup

Spicy Thai Curry Soup

by Pam on May 29, 2014

We’ve had a cool & rainy week this week in Portland. I saw this soup recipe on Heather Christo’s[1] site and decided to make it for dinner.  It took 15 minutes to make and made my house smell amazing. I served this soup with lime and sriracha for a little extra kick – it was really delicious and warmed us right up. My husband took the leftovers to work and said it was really tasty.

Combine the garlic, ginger, and curry paste in a small bowl. Add the coconut oil and mix well.  In a large pot, heat the curry mixture over medium heat cooking for 1-2 minutes.

Deglaze the pot with the chicken broth then add the coconut milk; bring to a boil. Season with sea salt, to taste. Place the noodles into the boiling broth and let the noodles cook for 2-3 minutes. Add half of the fresh basil and cilantro; mix well. Ladle into bowls then top evenly with the remaining basil, cilantro, and red chile slices. Serve with fresh lime wedges & sriracha if desired.

Yuba Noodle Salad – Do You Believe in Miracles?

So many things are touted as “miracle foods” these days, but invariably you find out the claims were false, the benefits exaggerated, and that Dr. Oz was full of crap again. I sure hope that doesn’t turn out to be the case with these grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, low-carb, low-cal, and quite delicious, yuba noodles.


You can use any dressings/garnishes you like, but I prefer these flavors, since texturally this closely resembles those wide, flat, Asian-style noodles we’ve all picked up from the neighborhood take-out place. Of course, those come loaded with massive amounts of bad carbs, a million calories, and enough MSG to choke a panda.

Occasionally, I have no problem with that, especially if I’ve been drinking, but generally this is a smarter option. Believe it or not, one giant portion of these noodles (not counting your dressing or sauce) only has 150 calories, just 7 grams of carbs, and almost no fat. So what’s the catch? It’s tofu.


But like pasta and noodles, tofu skin is very bland, so it’s really more about the texture, and being a “starchy” base for other ingredients, including non-vegan things like grilled chicken or shrimp. If you keep that in mind, I think you’ll really enjoy experimenting with this incredibly cool product. I hope you try this soon. Enjoy!


For 2 large portions Yuba Noodle Salad:
5 oz package yuba tofu skins, sliced into noodles
handful of carrot shavings
handful of thinly sliced cabbage
1/2 cup freshly torn cilantro leaves
1/4 sliced green onions
black sesame seeds

For the dressing (makes about 1 cup, about enough for 2 large salads):
2 tbsp smooth peanut butter
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp fresh, finely grated ginger
1 tsp sambal chili sauce (or any hot ground chili sauce)
1/3 cup warm rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
