Parsley Quinoa Salad with Variation
I can tell I’m getting in the mood for spring when I start craving fresh salads. After I saw some gorgeous parsley at the store, I decided to make a variation on tabbouleh. I substituted the bulgur wheat with red quinoa and added olives and scallions. It turned out so well, that I became a [...]
Barley Miso Soup
How do I start off these cold Fall mornings? A steaming bowl of miso soup with scallions and seaweed. I know this sounds strange but there are a few reasons for this. One, it’s absolutely delicious. It warms my body and leaves me feeling cleansed. Two, it provides a wonderful source of micro-organisms, trace minerals, [...]
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 [...]
Soba n Salad Dinner Party

(The view from their living room) I brought along some of my frozen spinach pesto that I had made the previous week. Han had bought fresh scallions and gorgeous oyster [...]

INGREDIENTS 1 Packet of Rice Paper 2 Carrots 1 big Cucumber 5 Scallions, just the green portion 1 package of extra firm Tofu 1 bunch of Pea Shoots [...]
Rice Noodles with Peanut Sauce
This dish can be served hot or cold, and both ways are delicious. I made up this recipe in the middle of a boiling hot heat wave in Brooklyn, and I wanted to eat something light, fresh, and summery that wasn’t another raw veggie salad. INGREDIENTS PEANUT SAUCE 3-5 cloves Garlic 5-6 Scallions 1/4 cup [...]
Miso Eggplant & Tempeh Saute
I came up with this dish when I found some gorgeous Thai basil at my local food co-op. The basil was fresh and fragrant with beautiful deep purple florets. Admittedly, I made this dish up as I went along. I knew I loved the combination of eggplant and Thai basil, and the combination of eggplant [...]
