Brown Rice Noodles with Peanut Sauce
The obsession with peanut sauce continues. This dish is basically Pad Thai. However, I can’t really call my dish traditional Pad Thai as I’ve made it up. I tend to redesign recipes based on my favorite dishes simply because I believe that experimentation empowers. I want to encourage you to experiment because you’ll discover your [...]
Tempeh Stuffed Thai Eggplant with Peanut Sauce

INGREDIENTS PEANUT SAUCE 3-5 cloves Garlic 5-6 Scallions 1/4 cup [...]
