Gingery Bok Choy Noodles with Thai Broccoli

 
Taking a leaf out of Appetite for Reduction pg176, I made this delicious noodle stir-fry. The recipe calls for a few lovely fresh Bok Choys, an onion, ginger, garlic and soy sauce.
 
I specially bought some Gluten Free and Vegan King Soda noodles, organic brown rice noodles.
 
 
The noodles came in 3 individually wrapped portions...three is a random number
 
It was definitely a quick weeknight meal, as apposed to a fancy dinner party meal. It was lovely to have a nice oriental flavour, I followed the recipe and i would suggest being heavy handed with Garlic and Ginger, and I also added some of the Vegan Chinese Mushroom sauce too.
 
I made some Thai Green Broccoli to go with it. 
 In a sauce pan heat some Thai Green Curry paste for 5 minutes and adding 1/2 a cup of coconut milk to make this sauce, add some pre-steamed Broccoli and coat.
 
*Tip: I freeze coconut milk into little ice cube trays once I have opened a can. This recipe uses 3 Ice cubes of coconut.
 

I really enjoyed this, but I needed the addition of the vegan oyster sauce, my partner isn't the biggest fan of Bok Choy in the first place and I like my veggies crunchy. The leaves turned into silky spinach-like greens and the stem a nice crunchy mouthful, most people would probably cook the stem a little longer than I did.

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

No my keyboard isn’t stuck.

My garden is full of home grown veg and herbs beginning with the letter R (does this sound like Sesame Street to anyone) Rhubarb, Rosemary and Runner Beans.




So although I’m not taking part in Vegan MoFo Officially (as I’m leaving to go backpacking for 10 months during the MoFo) I’m taking this opportunity to blog lots before I go!

So what should I make?

Last time I used the runner beans in an Appetite for Reduction “Bowl” style meal with lettuce, steamed kale and Avocado-a very green bowl pg 266-267.

Runner Beans taste great steamed or boiled and served straight up with a little salt pepper, chilli or soy sauce-they are so tender, usually eaten within 20 minutes of picking!
Maybe to stick with the R theme I should make a Runner Bean Risotto.

Alternatively I have seen a recipe for Rosemary Focaccia in Veganomicon pg 220-221.

As for the Rhubarb, I’m a traditionalist and usually stick to a warm oatie Crumble with custard or ice cream! If anyone can think of a non Crumble use for Rhubarb I'm listening.

The light is fading here, so I best get picking!
