noodles and peanut sauce!!

HURRAY!!
It's the end of the night, and I have already posted several peanut sauce recipes... so I am not going to post another one here tonight. To my regular peanut sauce recipe, I added about a teaspoon of thai red curry paste.

I slathered this deliciousness onto some soba noodles (with a touch of sesame oil), with steamed mushrooms, tofu, and bean sprouts, and some wilted spinach.

I find that with something as rich as peanut sauce (especially if you use A LOT of it), plain noodles and steamed vegetables are a good pairing, because you don't need to add anything more complicated or rich to your meal.

IT WAS SO GOOD!!
OM NOM NOM!!

more tofu burgers! peanut sauce! baby bok choy!

Once again, marinated a whole whack of tofu in my go to marinade of tamari, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic and ginger.
Shredded up some carrots and beets, and sliced up some zucchini and spinach for toppings.
On the bun (errr.... multi-grain bread): dijon mustard, ketchup, and the most delicious mayo spread ever!
I bought some super amazing liquid hickory smoke the other week, and decided that it would probably taste great mixed into some vegan mayo with a bit of maple syrup. HEAVEN! I am going to start putting this on pretty much everything.





Along side the tofu burger is some lightly steamed baby bok choy slathered with a tasty peanut sauce.
In the peanut sauce:
peanut butter (obvs) about 1/2 a cup
teaspoon of chilli paste
garlic - lots of it
small can of coconut milk
a few splashes of tamari
ginger
lots of like juice
teaspoon of rice vinegar
tablespoon of maple syrup

Mix mix mix, and add water until desired thickness is reached.
It's good to play around with the proportions a bit until you find the peanut sauce that is perfect for you.

Ps. Did you know that you can buy coconut milk in tetra packs??? It's a bit cheaper, and nice to just have hanging out in the fridge, say... to add to coffee (delicious!), or to hot chocolate, or cherry flavoured soda (vegan italian sodas, whaaaaat?). I should probably just devote a whole post to coconut milk sometime soon...
