Spicy Peanut Noodles


I got this recipe from the cook book Tofu 1-2-3. It's not the tofu that I loved in this recipe - it's the sauce and the noodles. Prepare this meal and serve with tofu, chicken or even just broccoli. This recipe is easy and delicious. Definitely a keeper in my home. I actually served it with spare ribs. It was a scrumptious meal. The second time I made it, I paired it with green beans, red bell pepper and fried egg. It was really good. 

 My version of a fantastic recipe:
4 tablespoons Ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce), divided
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pound firm or extra firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (or chicken breast cut up, or pork or whatever you like)
1/3 cup natural chunky peanut butter
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 - 1 teaspoon sambal, or chili paste
2 packages ramen noodles, prepared with seasoning packet, drained
2 scallions, thinly sliced (both green and white parts)

 1. Preheat broiler.

 2. Stir together 1 tablespoon Ketjap manis and ginger in a mixing bowl. Add the cubed tofu (or chicken or pork) and stir to gently coat. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Spread the tofu on the baking sheet in a single layer. Place under a broiler for 5 minutes. Flip the tofu and broil for 5 minutes or until light brown and crispy.Set aside. (You may have to broil longer for meat)

 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 3 tablespoons Ketjap manis with the peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, water, sesame seeds, garlic and sambal and set aside.

 4. With the noodles cooked according to package directions. Drain noodles and transfer to a wok and toss with peanut sauce. Cook and warm through. Add tofu cubes and scallions. Mix well. Serves 3-4.

The cook book for your toddler - Het kookboek voor je peuter

So, I've been going through this little cook book I got from the baby clinic - the book is made by Kinderen - it's a monthly magazine for mothers and expecting mothers - and it's a great little book. see bol.com Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried: Pippi's pannenkoekentaart That was good - I gave it a 4 star **** - easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Dessert for dinner is good anytime :) I put sliced apples in almost every pancake - which is why it leans so much. It was very filling - and very yummy. Up next: Een echt indiaantje Good 4 stars **** - another easy meal, presented in such a way that the kids got excited... Kailea, my 5 year old, is normally very picky about green food - she ate it up :) We served it with simple gravy. Ella - liked the patty, but tossed the sugar snaps aside - oh well, can't please everyone - but I try. Kailea poses for me. Dad's angry man... even big kids play with their food ! And..

The BEST REAL Peanut Butter Cookies

Image
Gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside, just the way a cookie should be! I discovered this recipe some years ago. I used to bake it nearly every month, that's how good it is. I've tried many, many peanut butter cookie recipes and this is the best by far! You don't really need to add chocolate chips... but I just happen to get a bag full of goodies from a lady who bought all these baking supplies - American style baking supplies - from the BX, and the stuff she didn't use up before she moved back to the U.S. - was gifted to me. So the best way to show my gratitude - was to use it up! There was a half open bag of white chocolate chips and a half open bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips... Did I mention... I love this recipe for peanut butter cookies and I threw in the chocolate chips as well. It was very yummy. This recipe is originally vegan believe it or not. You don't really need eggs in most baked goods anyway. But then I went and poured in all t

Baby Name: Kenobi (boy)

Image
So, I'm pregnant, I think I've already announced that somewhere... but anyway, it's a boy! My first one. I already have three girls. I thought for sure it would be another girl but then this pregnancy was very different. For one, I didn't have the same disdain for garlic and onions that I did with the other pregnancies... and two, I have more hair growing on my legs... it completely stopped growing for 9 months with the girls. That's a bonus to having girls... but the bonus for having a boy is I can still eat whatever I want and not feel sick. It's kind of a disadvantage though - because then I really have to monitor myself - so I don't get too fat. Why is choosing a baby name so difficult? Well, we've come up with quite a long list of names, the problem is - we don't agree on each other's name choices. My man loves one name, I love another. We even put up a poll on babynames.com to let all our friends and family and associates vote on the n
