Rice Paper spring rolls

Image
Spring rolls are quite easy to make and they look so delectable! They are also healthy (depending what you put into them: lots of veggies most likely). I think I will continue to pack these for lunch boxes :) I used this rice paper and to make 5 spring rolls it's ~120 calories and 29.5 g carbs (not including meat and vegetables). Not bad at all. You can change up the vegetables and meats each time too: carrots cucumbers spinach lettuce cilantro avocado onions bell peppers red cabbages sprouts jicama tomato no meat tofu sausage beef chicken fish/canned tuna The sauce I like to use is hoison sauce + sriracha + a little bit of warm water. Sometimes I add peanut butter as well. Yum

Cauliflower 'pizza - flat bread' crust

I've been meaning to try out this recipe for several weeks now and I finally tried it out today. Was prolonging this recipe because I knew it would take me a long time to prep and clean up after. I was right. And it wasn't as successful as I optimistically wished it to be. But see the good in everything right? (still optimistic!) It was a nice.. cauliflower pancake-omelet-like result. Here's how I went about it with some commentary. So.. ironically I was too lazy to dig out the processor and put the parts together, therefore I just diced the cauliflower with a knife to "rice" it. It was kind of therapeutic in a way just dicing along. steamed the riced cauliflower in microwave for 7 minutes didn't like the idea of wringing out water with towel so put the steamed cauliflower in mesh strainer and pressed on cauliflower to strain most of the water out. Left it in strainer and occasionally tossed/stirred cauliflower throughout the day. (I would do what...

Vegetarian "noodle" soup

One day I was craving pho, noodles, and seafood. But there was none of those available at home. Therefore, I improvised. I'm not one to really measure things when I cook, more like eye things and just add random stuff as I go along. Here is my random recipe. What I had in minds was pho/seafood egg noodle soup. So Vietnamese/Chinese influence with some Korean loving :) 1. Into pot I poured a little bit of fish oil and sauteed garlic in that. Tossed in sliced mushrooms, cilantro for a short time 2. Poured in water over all that and let boil while I put in oyster sauce, sweet chili sauce and sriacha 3. Then put the rest of the vegetables in soup when fully boiling (I used mushrooms that look like skinny noodles as my "noodles") The vegetables that I personally used were: carrots, red pepper, jalapeno, button mushrooms, bokchoy, onions, green onions And I hardboiled an egg and cut it in half There are so many ways you can add your own tastes or add va...
