One of my favorite things to do it 'clean up' my favorite recipes. There's no reason why we cant eat the things we love without feeling guilty about it ;-).
Tonight I was craving Thai food. Thai food is usually saturated in oil, coconut milk, & high sodium soy sauce. I re-created my favorite noodle dish and it turned out fantastic! Here is a rough recipe that may need to be tweaked to your liking. Enjoy!
12 oz Chicken/Lean Beef/Shrimp cut into strips
3-4 cups chopped veggies such as cabbage, broccoli, pea pods, carrots, celery, peppers, onions, ect
4 oz Buckwheat soba noodles, prepared as instructed on package
3 cloves chopped garlic
2-3 tablespoons curry powder
2 tsp Sesame oil (optional) see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sesame_oil
4 tablespoons LOW sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon thai chili paste
salt & pepper to taste
Non-stick spray
(My Husband and Daughter are not fans of peanut sauce, but you could totally add a couple tablespoons of all natural peanut butter and it would be even better!)
Heat a non-stick skillet to high heat. When warm, spray with non-stick cooking spray. Cook meat until done, remove from heat. Wipe skillet clean, place back on high heat, spray pan with non-stick spray and drop in vegetables. Cook veggies 5-10 minutes until tender crisp, add garlic when almost done so it doesn't burn. Add noodles & meat back into pan. Add the sesame oil, curry powder, soy, chili paste & salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Add more soy or curry to your liking. Voila!
My family is the toughest critic and my Husband is a skeptic to the clean eating recipes I come up with but this one got a big thumbs up from him!
