Mango Cashew Tofu w/ Roasted Broccoli

Love fresh mango? This super easy mango tofu stir fry is the absolute best! Full of fresh vegetables and fruit, it’s healthy and delicious. I also love Asian flavors and this dish is everything I often crave. This stir fry includes fresh mango chunks for that unique flavour, the broccoli and cashews bring perfect crunchiness and nutrients, and the tofu adds in some much needed protein, all coated in a sweet, spicy and tangy Asian sauce!

Since we’ve been trying to eat meatless more often, I’ve been making a lot of crispy tofu. I love the texture and taste and it goes so well with so many dishes! It’s a perfect replacement for chicken or beef.

Creamy Miso Udon

I know it might not be exactly cold where you are right now but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a big bowl of this creamy miso udon! It’s quick and simple, and bursting with umami flavours and creaminess. Plus, this creamy, easy, tasty dinner is ready in only fifteen minutes?! That’s right, this recipe is perfect for those weeknights where you want something satisfying as soon as possible.

You will love how creamy the sauce is, no need for heavy cream, this recipe is completely vegan and dairy-free! The secret is in the miso paste + garlic + onions + cashews, which is a great pairing, right? The miso brings so much umami flavor that deepens the whole sauce without much effort. Miso paste, a key ingredient in this dish, is a traditional Japanese condiment made of fermented soybeans. As a fermented food, miso paste is rich in probiotics that support gut health in our body by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. Probiotics may support immune function in our body fighting against infections and improve digestion. Moreover, miso contains many essential nutrients including vitamins and minerals.

Also, I absolutely love udon noodles: they are thick and large and chewy and soooo satisfying! Not sure why I don't cook with them more often at home HAHAHA!

Spicy Scallion Oil Noodles 葱油拌面

Scallion oil noodles, for the uninitiated, are one of the many delights I discovered in side streets and late-night markets on my recent trip to Shanghai. It is a street food staple: clingy wheat noodles tossed in a smoky, flavour-infused oil and a mix of soy sauce. The method is simple and takes fifteen minutes, tops.

These spicy scallion oil noodles are generously coated in this rich, umami, aromatic scallion oil that packs so much flavour, stir them up to get every single strand of noodle to glisten with the goodness, slurp up - simply food heaven.

The star of this is the crispy fried scallions. Make sure that you pat the scallions thoroughly dry after washing, so they don’t splatter too much when they hit the hot oil. Also be sure to julienne the scallions properly, cutting them into shorter lengths, and then thinly slicing them lengthwise into thin strips. This will ensure that your scallions have a good crispy texture!
