Cumin Tofu Noodles

 I made the cumin tofu noodles recipe by @chezjorge on Instagram. If you are not following him, you got to because his recipes are incredible. I didn’t have time to make hand pulled noodles as he did so I substituted instant ramen but the flavors were so good! Also made his homemade chili oil that little one helped me with.

Prepping the chili oil with Chinese red chili flakes, Sichuan pepper, star anise, bay leaf, sesame seeds and cinnamon.

More from EAST by Meera Sodha.

 I made two more dishes from this book and it has inspired me so much. I made the Chargrilled Summer Vegetables with Dhana-jeera dressing and the Sweet Potato Momos. Delicious!!!

Honey, Soy and Ginger Braised Tofu.

I was inspired to cook from Meera Sodha’s EAST cookbook after having a lovely conversation with my friend about the book. I made the Braised tofu recipe which came together so easily and deliciously! I used AGAVE instead of honey by the way!

 

Vegan Torta and Black Bean Burger.

Vegan torta with black beans, boca burger patty, Daiya Swiss, pico de gallo, jalapeño, lettuce, grilled veggies and avocado. Oh and chipotle mayo. This was so yum.

Black beans burger from At My Table by Mary McCartney. So good. The sautéed red onions, mushroom and garlic make this burger so flavorful.

 

Sweet potato falafel.

I used the recipe by The Happy Pear in YouTube. It’s so good!

 

Crispy Breaded Tofu Pesto Sandwich And Soup.

Cabbage and potato soup. Clean out my fridge kind of soup.

Yummy sandwiches. Leftover firm tofu coated with panko crumbs and baked. Spinach pesto.

 

Product review: The Swag

I’ve been using The Swag reusable produce bag since Feb 28th and I love it! I wish I had taken before and after but this is what my produce looks like today and they look pretty good. 

🥕The carrots I bought on Feb 14 and they were in their plastic bag before I transferred them to The Swag on the 26th. They look great to me. No wet mushy spots or anything. I also bought the Pasilla pepper on that day. That looks great.

🥦The broccoli was purchased on Feb 28 and it looks good too. Gonna eat that today.

🥬The celery was also purchased on Feb 28th. Still nice and crisp.

🥬Zucchini was also purchased on the 28th. Still pretty firm.

🥬Spinach was purchased on the 28th as well. I keep it in a reusable mesh produce bag so it’s not all loose in The Swag. It looks good. No sliminess. If I revive it a bit in water, it would still be good for salad I think. 

So it’s pretty much been about 10 days and my veggies are happy. I mist The Swag every other day with water to keep the outside of the bag a little damp. This is supposed to help keep the veggies fresher inside. I don’t even take it out of the crisper, I just lightly spray it on top while it’s sitting in there. I will throw the bag in the washing machine this week. Highly recommend this product! I bought mine at @bostongeneralstore. It was free shipping over a certain dollar amount purchased. 👍🏼 #theswagbag #ecofriendlyproducts #freshveggies #reusableproducebag
