The majority of my meals consist of something in a bowl because I like to eat a lot of food.
Bowls > Plates don’t @me.
Asian and Indian cuisines tend to have a lot of sweet and spicy flavors which is probably one of my favorite flavor combos to make.
I like the use of the rice noodles, it’s a different kind of consistency. Soba noodles tend to be too sticky and slimy, which ain’t really a pleasure to eat. The recipe originally called for edamame but soy ain’t the way to go (I’ll elaborate another day). For now, long story short. Soy is some shxt.
This recipe can be made in about 30 minutes and is good for a quick dinner or something you can eat for lunch the next day.
