Asian Recipes (Most Popular)
I bought a huge bag of Thai basil at the Asian grocery store the other day, and I couldn't think of what to do with it... and then it hit me: Thai pesto! As I'm currently limiting my carbohydrate intake, I chose to use shirataki noodles (aka, "miracle noodles"), which pack a lot of fiber with only 1 gram net carbs. Rice noodles would also work well, if you can't find shirataki, or just don't care for the taste/texture of it.
Delicious, quick and easy seaweed salad. Anyone not sure if they will like seaweed this is perfect recipe to test your palate. Add more or less sweetener to your favor.
Easy recipe for the Thai food lover. Add meat or any other vegetables to create your own personal cuisine. Recipe does not have to be exact to the measurements.
A yummy treat I got as a recipe from Epicure, this was a great stir fry sauce which was less thick than the stir fry sauces you buy in the store, but totally tasty! Although the rice wine vinegar adds some tang, there isn't any kick in this recipe. I suggest adding crushed red chilis or cayenne pepper to this recipe if you like spice. Or use Taste of Thai's Garlic Pepper sauce. Yum.
Light but satisfying asian style vegetable soup great for snack or lunch
This is a lower sodium recipe, if you are not worried about salt, add an envelope of onion soup mix (or 4 bullion cubes) when you put everything in the crockpot.
This can use any protein you want (I used shrimp), OR go totally vegetarian, use tofu if you want.
If using raw meat. cut it in bite sized pieces and put it in the bottom of the crockpot, then put veggies on top. I used raw shrimp and did not want to over cook them, so I added the shrimp one hour before I was going to serve the chop suey. If you are using pre-cooked (leftover meat), add to the crockpot one hour before serving time.
I used corn starch to thicken the "gravy" (1 TBSP to 1 cup of water), but you do NOT have to do this step (cornstarch is factored into the nutritional totals).
Serve over rice or chop suey noodles....(not factored into nutritional counts).
