Asian Noodle Bowl with Basil Soy Dressing {Vegan}

RSS

Debbie, a Registered Dietitian, shows you how to make a delicious, healthy vegetarian recipe with the Procizion spiral slicer. "If it were acceptable, I think I would probably eat every meal out of a bowl. I just love the simplicity of it. No need to make several side dishes or dirty lots of dishes. Keep some staple ingredients on hand and putting together a tasty meal to serve in a bowl is simple. I always try to include some wholesome complex carbohydrate like quinoa or lentils which can be prepped in a big batch over the weekend and served at several meals. In addition, you could chop up your vegetables on Sunday so you can prepare your weeknight meals faster. To assemble a healthy meal in a bowl, you just cook up your vegetables and a vegetarian protein like tofu, reheat your grains and toss it all together in a tasty sauce. Simple!"

This pretty vegan stir fry in a bowl is packed with fresh flavors and lots of color.

Ingredients

For the dressing:
3 cloves garlic
5 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup basil leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root (~1/2" piece)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
For the Bowl:
2 servings soba noodles
1 zucchini
1 small head broccoli, chopped
2 colored banana peppers, sliced
6-8 shitake mushrooms, sliced
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 carrots, chopped into matchstick pieces
1 Lime, for serving

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together all the ingredients for the dressing and set aside.
In a large stock pot/saute pan, add 1½ tablespoons of the canola oil. Heat over medium-high heat for a minute and add the sliced shitake mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to shrink and lightly brown. Scoop mushrooms out of the pan into a small bowl and set aside.
In the same pan you used for the mushrooms, add the other 1½ tablespoons of canola oil and the other chopped vegetables (broccoli, peppers, carrots). Stir to coat in oil and then cover. Cook for 5-7 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally. Heat until vegetables are crisp tender.
While your vegetables are cooking, heat a medium saucepan of water over medium heat. Once it starts to boil, add the soba noodles. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain. Toss noodles with the spiraled zucchini and pour the dressing over top. Toss to coat.
To assemble bowls, layer a serving of noodles into a bowl, top with vegetables and mushrooms. Serve with a slice of lime. For some added protein, add endamame or tofu.
