I'm always on the lookout for easy weekday meals, now the mains jump out, however, side dishes are always a pain to find. There are staples that I run back to but when you want something that is quick, tasty and healthy it is quite the gamut.
This recipe for Andie Mitchell's Healthy Peanut Sauce reminds me of Gado Gado, which is always good! I figured I'd pair it with some spicy baked tofu and drench the sauce on some noodles. I found some mung bean noodles which I thought would make a good alternative to regular wheat or buckwheat versions.
Yay or Nay: Yay
The sauce was a no-brainer, I mean peanut butter, who doesn't love?! I do have to say that the sauce was a lot thicker than I was expecting but the recipe does say to add water to get the consistency right. The mung bean noodles were a surprising hit - chewy and carb-free so win-win! I would rinse the noodles as instructed but I thought the heat from the noodles would help loosen and coat the sauce a bit better.
This is the second part to my cauliflower burger review. The post urged me to make this Magic Green Sauce to go with the burger and it looked easy enough to cobble together. Anything called magic would not need much convincing to make me try it!
Yay or Nay: Yay
Like it says on the tin, pretty much throw everything in a blender and voila! Aside from trying to get the texture right it was easy enough and punch to boot! It got a much better review than the burgers and the hubby asked it to be made again minus the burgers...
