Speaking of meals that are quick and easy to make! This ginger miso noodle bowl is so easy and so dang delicious. It's something that I prepare often, and because Sebastian loves avocado, it's one of his favorites.
At least once a week I will make this tofu yakisoba, because it is so delicious and easy to make. It is one of my favorite dishes right now. We'll gobble it down from a large bowl with chopsticks, and Sebastian will grab handfuls with his hands, half ending up on the floor.
Yesterday, I took a trip to the Asian grocery store, which is always a two-hour event - deciding on which fresh tofu to buy, choosing the best noodle stand to grab lunch, gawking at all the exotic fruit.
I used to live beside a great little pho restaurant. Even though their main attraction was the perfectly executed pho, my heart and taste buds were always more captivated by the noodle bowls. Fresh crunchy lettuce, a layer of soft noodles, scattered with crispy tofu. A delicious and colorful rainbow of flavors and textures finished with a sweet and savory dressing and a sprinkle of peanuts. My idea of a perfect lunch, light, and refreshing. The type of meal that lets you feel good about yourself.
Before I left, my last night at home, I was inspired by a creation eaten two nights previous. A picnic meeting in the park with dietitians, confident that I would discover some flavorful treats, I was quickly drawn to this simple fresh salad. Bright and colorful. Each mouthful gushing with flavor as I slurp the noodles into my mouth.
Thin, tender yakisoba noodles, stir-fried with crunchy broccoli and cashews, swimming in a sauce of garlic, peanuts, and chili oil. The perfect noodle dish meant to be eating with chopsticks, twisted into a messy pile into your mouth, and then the sauce slurped up with a spoon. Is there any other way to eat noodles?
