Vegeterian Tips: If you know you are going to be eating at a certain restaurant on Saturday night, call ahead and ask if they offer any vegetarian entrees. If the answer is no, ask if something can be prepared for your dietary needs. Most likely, the answer will be yes.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 2 packages udon noodles
- 1 package extra firm tofu or seita
- 3+ cloves of garlic
- 1/2 bunch cilantro
- several green onions (scallions)
- 1 head broccoli
- 1/2 – 1 tablespoon Thai green curry paste
- 1 1/2 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 tablespoon peanut oil
- tamari (gourmet quality soy sauce)
Directions:
Cook udon noodles in a large pot of boiling water per
package instructions. Drain, rinse with plenty of cold water,
and set aside. While noodles are cooking, dilute green
curry paste in a small amount of water and set aside. You
may use more paste if you prefer a spicier noodle.
Chop at least 3 large cloves of garlic (more if you like),
green onions, and cilantro. In a wok, heat 3/4 T canola
oil and 1/4 T peanut oil. Fry chopped spice mixture
approximately 2 minutes on medium-high heat.
Add tofu and broccoli to mixture, sprinkling with a fair
amount of tamari. Fry until broccoli is tender, adding
water as needed. Set aside cooked tofu/broccoli mixture.
Add remaining 3/4 T canola oil and 1/4 T peanut oil to
wok. Fry cooked noodles until warm, using a generous
amount of tamari. Return tofu/broccoli mixture to wok.
Add curry, mix everything together, and dig in!
