Japanese 7-Spice Kelp Noodles



I love trying new spices and seasonings, so I am very excited that the President's Choice Black Label line now has a bunch of new spice blends available.  My most recent find: Shichimi Togarashi, or Japanese 7-Spice blend.

PC BLACK LABEL SHICHIMI TOGARASHI 7-SPICE BLEND


It's a combination of crushed red chili flakes, sea salt, Szechiuan peppercorns, black and white sesame seeds, poppy seeds, orange zest, wasabi powder and nori seaweed flakes.

I make Japanese-inspired dishes all the time, but resort to the same old flavours most of the time: miso, soy, sesame, ginger and garlic.  I was so excited to be able to liven things up a bit.

This dish is easy and tasty, although be warned that this seasoning packs punch.  I used 1 tsp, which ended up being too spicy for me, and I have a high tolerance for heat!  I recommend 1/4-1/2 tsp, or, if you don't like heat at all, make your own at home and omit the red chili flakes.  You'll get all the flavour without the heat.

I served these noodles with a mix of seafood (shrimp, calamari, mussels and clams), but you can use cubed tofu, cooked adzuki beans, chicken, beef or fish as your protein instead.

Japanese 7-spice Kelp Noodles

1/2 can tomato paste
2 tbls soy/tamari/coconut aminos
4 tbls rice vinegar, divided
3 tbls finely chopped, fresh ginger
2-3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4-1/2 tsp Japanese 7-spice blend
1-340g bag rainbow or broccoli slaw (or chopped veggies of choice)
1 bunch green onions, sliced
1-340g bag kelp noodles, drained, rinsed and snipped
Protein of choice (optional)

Whisk together ingredients for sauce (tomato paste, soy, and 2 tbls vinegar) and set aside.  Place kelp noodles into a skillet or wok, along with 2 tbls of vinegar, garlic, ginger, and spice blend and cook over medium heat until noodles soften.  Add sauce and remaining ingredients and cook until veggies are tender.  Makes 2 main dish servings or 4 side dish servings.

    A maverick Japanese doctor recently leaked the secret formula of an ancient Japanese Tonic that targets the root cause of deep belly fat and activates a powerful, little-known fat-burning hormone inside you…that MELTS away all your stubborn body fat.

Blackfly Coolers: Product Review

Summer is over! Well, at least if you're a student. Officially it doesn't end for a few weeks, and it certainly still feels like summer. Yeah, I hate it. This f*cking hot, humid weather needs to end NOW! We made the most of our last weekend of the summer with our annual trip to the CNE on Friday, with a crowd of friends. It wasn't unbearably lot, thank goodness, and the girls and their friends had a blast on the rides.  Saturday I had to work, and Sunday was errand day. Monday we took the girls berry/apple/pear picking but didn't last long due to the heat. I organized the house to prepare for the construction workers starting back up yesterday, while Adam took the girls for a swim in our neighbourhood pool. Yesterday was the first day of school. Grade 2 and Grade 5. Yep, the girls are growing up.  We are fortunate that the girls don't have much anxiety about school, they are so much more confident than I ever was as a kid! But now, in the midst of our reno ch

How to Look Like a Celebrity

Okay, I know you're going to be interested in this post! I am sure virtually every woman in North America has wondered how Hollywood celebrities achieve such 'perfect' bodies.  Well, at CAN FIT PRO last week, one of Hollywood's top fitness trainers, Eric the Trainer , was there to tell us fitness professionals the secrets! Eric the Trainer, gave several presentations, and I caught the one on Celebrity Secrets, and it was most interesting!!!  I also found some of what he said rather disturbing. First off, he was very upfront about the fact that celebrities come to him for improve their appearance.  Not to improve their health or athletic performance.  To look their best.  He admitted that his approach then, is entirely dedicated to that end. Male and female celebrities are trained in completely different ways because Hollywood wants women to be lithe and thin and in his words, "look like they dropped out of heaven looking this way without every having ste
