Hi everyone
It’s been a stressful week for a range of reasons, ranging from family to continuing global insanity that has hit home. Trying to keep my head and heart above water.
New York is in spring mode, with warm days that give way to rain to cool down, which I’m not complaining about because it’s good to have the pollen washed out.
I’m trying to get more legumes into my week as well as a daily serving of homemade yogurt. So far I’m at every other day or so on both, but I think a bit better planning and prepping a few servings at a time might help that goal. Last week I made two servings each of Turkish lentil soup and dal, but when those were done I didn’t feel like making more.
Ideas for the coming week (skewing Asian-heavy like my produce after a Chinatown visit):
– Dim sum-style spare ribs in black bean sauce + veg + fresh ho fun / wide rice noodles
– Angel hair in Vodka Sauce from COTM Ina Garten + tbd protein
– Cantonese soy sauce chicken + woodear mushroom salad + lotus root salad + quinoa-rice
– Seared & marinated tuna Japanese-style + rice + gingery snow pea salad
– Singapore curry noodles (either vermicelli or angel-hair) inspired by @LulusMom1
– Dumplings + salads – I bought some new kinds of dumplings / jiaozi from the Chinese grocery store; will boil or pan-fry and toss with a new Sichuan bean sauce + the woodear mushroom and lotus root salads
– Vegetable pad see ew with fresh rice noodles + tbd protein
– Chicken curry from COTM Raghavan Iyer / On the Curry Trail – either Viet Ca Ri Ga or Malaysian Kari Ayam + tbd veg + rice
Have a lovely weekend and a good week ahead!
