Ginger Noodles

"This comes from Turn off the Fat Genes by Dr. Neal Barnard. I love cold soba noodles, so this doesn't feel like a diet recipe to me...just really yummy food. Try to eat this on the same day you make it, as cooked soba will be a bit mealy on day two, not very yummy. Note: I have never used the optional cilantro, so I have no comment on how this tastes with that added."

  1. This is very tasty with a strong Asian flavor. I normally have my soba noodles warm so this was a nice change. I made as posted, including the cilantro. I like that it is low in calories and fat. Thanks for posting. :)
     
  2. This made a delicious, healthy and filling lunch! I used a green chili pepper (including the seeds), otherwise made as stated. Yum! Thanks for posting! Made for PAC Fall 2009.
     
  3. This recipe was great. I made it cold to compliment some warm miso soup.

This is a picture of half of me in my kitchen (wearing some pretty amazing shoes, I'll have you know). I feel very strongly about food and how it affects us...I think of it as medicine...the food you eat can be just as effective for the maintenance of your health as any prescription drug! And who wouldn't want to use nutrition as a way to avoid disease so that you end up taking less pills later in life? Health was my motivation for giving up dairy and eggs...and, although I don't make it a habit to go around shouting at people that they should eat this and avoid that, it does make me happy when people make the right choices for their health! Hmmmmm. pet peeves? If I had a dollar for every time since I gave up meat that someone asked me, "Well, what DO you eat, anyway?" I could retire to a tropical island! I guess it bothers me that people are so ignorant of the choices that are available to them. And it shocks me that there are people out there who have no clue how to read a label, deciding whether something has too much fat or sodium (or whatever) for them to consume! I knew a woman who thought her potato chips were healthy because "it said no trans-fats" on the bag! I always dreamed of becoming a dietician so I could help that kind of person, but have been disinclined to pursue it because of the time to earn the degree, the low pay most of them receive and the general feeling that no one will listen to me, anyway! For fun, I like to hang out with my dogs, cook for people (especially veg people!), read, make jewelry, watch British comedy on TV, go out shopping with friends at places like junk stores and ethnic markets, and tons of other stuff! I stay pretty busy! Fave restaurant...Sage in Chapel Hill...if you live around here, I encourage you to check it out! Beautiful food, great atmosphere, even if it is on the small side, and the proprietor is the most gorgeous man! And everything on the menu is vegetarian or vegan...I feel so free when I walk in there...it's amazing! For food shopping, I like Whole Foods the best. Trader Joe's is not as veg friendly, but they have good prices on many staples that I use. Some of the mainstream stores are even catching on...we have a Food Lion near us way out here in the boonies that has a whole natural foods area that allows me to purchase many vegan specialty items without making a long drive to town! Love that! Amazon.com is great for non-perishable foods...they have that subscribe and save program for many grocery items and it is a real savings! I subscribe to numerous items...agave nectar, vegetable broth, and quite a few more! Check it out! <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg">
