Chicken, Noodles and Veggie Bento 3

Posted on February 04, 2011 by Debra

——-
I love veggies.

I wish, I wish, that I had loved them when I was a kid. All those wasted meals, staring at a plate of glorious carrots, string beans, or bell peppers. Wishing that we had a family dog that would “clear my plate.”

Posted on February 03, 2011 by Debra

What a treat for Saba Man…I’ve been bombarding  him with pork ever since our #twitterfoodparty on Monday.  The package of lup cheong lasted longer than expected.

Hey, being the lone meat-eater in the house has it’s benefits!

He gets it eat it all!

Cake Noodle with Fried Tofu 6

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Debra

It’s #twitterfoodparty Monday!  Every last Monday of the month some twitter foodie friends share a photo of the that month’s theme.  October is pasta or noodles!

My  dish is “Cake Noodles with Tofu!”   Double-cooked chowmein noodles, lightly boiled, then fried into a cake, cut into squares and topped with a savory mix of fried tofu, carrots, onions, shoyu, and vegetarian hoisin sauce!

It’s crunchy-on-the-outside then soft-on-the-inside sensation is tantalizing and  I can’t stop eating it.

We are using the  hashtag #twitterpastaparty if you’d like to follow or contribute!  No pressure to do so but it’s a lot of fun!

Chapchae or Japchae Korean Noodle Recipe 7

Posted on November 28, 2009 by Debra

It’s no secret amongst my family and friends that Korean food is my favorite.  It’s the cuisine I crave and it’s my first childhood food memory.   My recent switch to vegetarianism has not curbed my appetite for the spicy garlic flavors…  the change is that I can no longer pop into a Korean restaurant  and order everything off the menu.  I must now make my own recipes without meat, using tofu or meat substitutes.  One of the easiest recipes to convert is chapchae or japchae-Korean glass noodles (dangmyeon) with beef and vegetables.   It’s versatile and easy dish to prepare and it that can be eaten as a hot main dish or a room temperature “salad”.
