Instructions

DAN DAN NOODLE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it.
  • Once the water is boiling, cook the noodles according to the package. Mine recommended 5 minutes. While noodles are cooking, heat olive oil and chilli flakes.
  • Saute onion and garlic for several minutes and add mushrooms. Season with salt.
  • Once mushrooms have softened add in bok choy and sauce. Saute for a couple of minutes and then add in meat.
  • Mix everything together. Add in a splash of noodle water to emulsify.
  • Add in cooked noodles, chilli miso sauce and a splash of more water.
  • Toss everything together evenly and place into bowls.
  • Garnish with more chilli miso if desired, cilantro, green onion and peanuts.

WALNUT TOFU "MEAT" INSTRUCTIONS

  • Crumble walnuts in the food processor until pea sized.
  • Mash tofu with fork (or hands!) until pea sized.
  • Whisk wet and dry ingredients together and combine with walnut and tofu mix.
  • Spread on baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 35 min, stirring at half way to ensure even baking.
