get your thai on

so your hungry, now. STOP! put the top ramen back in the cupboard. there is enough sodium in there to end the existence of snails (which happen to be my favorite animal) altogether. top ramen consists of three basic elements; water. carbohydrates in the form of starch. and salt.

you can drink water out of a glass, so drop the artificial flavoring packets and lets get our thai on.

what i used:
1 two bunches of bok choy (the baby kind)
[can substitute here with cabbage or spinach]
2 onion, nicely chopped
3 carrots, best put through a cheese grater or just cut into small pieces
4 about 1/3rd clove of garlic, minced (chopped finely)
5 whole grain noodles of your choice

boil your noodles, and strain

in a wok, or a pot, put down about half an inch of water and throw in all your veggies. turn on the heat alittle above halfway and let them cook till the majority of the water evaporates. after it does, throw in about 1/4th cup of cooking oil and your pasta. sautee everything till your onions turn that nice brown carmelized color.

now sauce time

1 two tablespoons of chunky peanut butter
2 about a quarter cup of soy sauce, but here you can really just use to taste
3 onion powder to taste
4 cayenne red pepper and paprika to taste ( a couple shakes of tobasco does the same trick)
5 regular black pepper to taste
6 sesame oil (if you dont have any, no biggie, add in alittle extra cooking oil to make sure everything is moist)

you can just add all of these right onto the noodles and stir

top with sesame seeds (or not) and enjoy! the whole process takes less then 20 minutes. the bok choy/cabbage/spinach contains antioxidants as well as calcium and a whole slew of other essential vitamins and minerals. the peanut butter contains protein, which every girl needs an extra boost of here and there. Onions and garlic have been linked in the prevention and maintenance of cells against cancer.


so grab some chop sticks and feel good about yourself today

your gonna need the energy to keep up with this pup
