Vegetarian Noodle Salad

I am in a rush now and have no time to introduce this salad, other than to say, it turned out very nicely and I recommend it.


Vegetarian Noodle Salad

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup Mirin
1 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup cup oil
1/2 pound gluten-free brown rice spaghetti (package directions)
1/4 of an English cucumber, sliced thin
1 red bell pepper (julienned)
1 bunch scallions (sliced)
12 cup salted peanuts (chopped roasted, garnish)

Method:

In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, sesame oil, Mirin, chili sauce, sugar, and soy until smooth.

Whisk in the oil. In a large bowl, toss dressing with the pasta, cucumbers, bell pepper and scallions.

The recipe is adapted from Food Network. I went heavier on the Soy Sauce and less on the oil.

Better than other salads like this that I have made.

    I'm awful about using noodles for cold dishes, but they're so good!

    Love this! I am not a big meat eater in general so I love finding recipes that don't use it in the first place.

    Thanks so much for sharing at Mealtime Monday! I can't wait to see what you link up tonight.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Brussels Sprouts - Power Food - Re-post

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
