Veggies:
Choose whatever you like. Some suggestions:
Snap peas, mini corn, bell pepper, scallions, avocado, cilantro, cucumber, carrots, mushrooms, bok choy, etc.
Protein:
I like to marinate either tofu or chicken the night before and cook it up while i'm chopping up the veggies. I have become addicted to this marinade I found in Bon Appetite that I use for chicken, tofu cubes, kebabs, EVERYTHING!
Noodles:
I usually use soba noodles, you could use ramen or whole wheat pasta. You can easily make this gluten free with rice noodles. I found that the rice noodles were at their best when consumed right after cooking them. A couple of days in the fridge dried them out a bit.
Dressing:
I like to pour a mixture of things over my noodle bowl. Here are some of my favorite sauces
Chili garlic paste
Gyoza sauce (I can only find this in asian markets, tastes like the sauce that comes with potstickers)
Ponzu Lime (It's like a tangy soy sauce, mmm!)
My Mom's Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing (I hope she doesn't kill me for sharing this, it's GOLD! Makes everything taste good.)
Braggs Amino Liquid
Mom's Chinese Chicken Salad Dressing
1 clove garlic minced
1/3 c. canola oil
2 tsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
3 Tbsp. cider vinegar
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. sugar
Mix and enjoy, Also makes an AWESOME marinade!
Bon Apetite Marinade
1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
1/2 c. unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 c. hot chili garlic paste ( like sambal oelek)
1/4 c. fish sauce (I know it smells weird but it makes this work)
1/4 c. Sriracha
Let your chicken or tofu cubes sit in this magical liquid overnight. I like to broil the tofu to crisp it up. Delish!
