Jean in Newcastle Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I want something different. Something with lots of veggies. I do a lot of stir-fries and like them but I want something different than that since I already do that a lot. Any idea? Tita? Others? I was looking at some spring roll recipes. Know of any good ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belacqua Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Maybe a Thai curry? Something with coconut milk and all sorts of vegetables? If you're not opposed to a bit of a shortcut, Uwajimaya sells curry pastes in little cans; they're really very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tita Gidge Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Are there any dietary restrictions or preferences that factor in? I'm running out the door but will be back with recipes next time I'm online :) In the meanwhile, what about bakmi goreng? It's a favorite here, especially during hotter months.

Lara in Colo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I had this at a Korean BBQ and it was good--- it had shredded carrots, green onion and zucchini in it http://koreanfood.about.com/od/vegetarianrecipes/r/Scallionpancake.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty ethel rackham Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Asian Noodle Salad is a hit at our house. You can make it ahead and eat it cold or serve it warm. I often make this when I need to bring something to a picnic or when it is just plain hot outside. 8 oz. Udon noodles or spaghetti (we use whole wheat spaghetti noodles) 1/2 cup chicken broth (or faux chic broth or vegetable broth) 1 1/2 tablespoons honey 3 tablespoons peanut butter 3 tablespoons soy sauce (ETA) 2 teaspoons hot chili sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh grated ginger 3 cloves garlic 8 oz Tofu and/or cooked chicken breasts 1/4 cup chopped green onions 1 cucumber - peeled, seeded and chopped 1/2 cup pea pods or julienned carrots or bean sprouts 1/4 cup chopped peanuts Boil the noodles according to the directions. Combine the next 7 ingredients into a saucepan and heat, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Keep warm. Cube the tofu and/or cut up the cooked chicken breasts. Chop the rest of the vegetables. Once the noodles are done, drain them, then pour the sauce over the top, add the tofu/chicken and veggies and mix well. Top with chopped peanuts (and maybe a little more of the green onions for garnish.) Easy, healthy and nutritious. ETA: forgot the soy sauce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Eggs and tomatoes are a common home cooking dish. This recipe uses olive oil - I've only had it made with a light-flavoured vegetable oil. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 How about bibimbap? http://www.womenshealthmag.com/nutrition/bulgogi-recipe I want to make these summer rolls, but have had trouble finding rice papers: http://www.williams-sonoma.com/recipe/cucumber-and-avocado-summer-rolls-with-mustard-soy-sauce.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If you'd like to keep it simple, I'd highly recommend this book: China Express by Nina Simonds It's not as strictly authentic as her other cookbooks, but it's eminently more do-able. :) ETA: I might be confusing her with another cookbook author. It appears she has a number of "simple" books out there. I just put her wraps book on hold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Great ideas. Thank you. I ended up doing an interesting (and not authentic) "spring roll" recipe that used phyllo dough in the oven. I used it though because our grocery store did not have rice wrappers and it was nice to bake instead of fry. It might not have been authentic but it was tasty.

jennynd Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I like my mom's steam fish... Just this fish (white fish.. Whole fish.. It scared my husband because we also eat fish eyes...) put some green scallion/ginger on top. Salt/pepper/rice wine and steam it.. Quick, easy and yummy If you want veggie, mom cook bamboo shoot, mushroom and other stuff together. The clost I can find is http://id.lkk.com/en/Kitchen/Professional/professional_recipe/braised-mushrooms-and-bamboo-shoots-990375 I am a Taiwaness FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celticmom Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Here is a recipe for lettuce wraps: http://onceamonthmom.com/gfdf-knock-off-pf-changs-chicken-lettuce-wraps/ I have made it with mushrooms on one occasion and canned chickpeas on another subbed for the ground turkey. It has been good every way that I have made it. I do either halve or quarter the amount of chili garlic sauce called for so it is not too hot.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Oooh. Water chestnuts and peanuts. My dd11 would love that recipe! She loves both of those - even better if I changed the peanuts to cashews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
