Thai Yellow Curry Noodles


This tastes just like something you'd get at a Thai restaurant, only I can guarantee this version is much lower in fat and calories.  So, so good.  I made it with chicken, but it would be just as good with tofu if you want a vegetarian version.

Rice vermicelli are a cinch to use.  I don't even soak them beforehand, I just add them to the dish dry and let them soak up the yummy sauce to soften.

Thai Yellow Curry Noodles

Stir Fry

1 lb brown rice vermicelli noodles, broken up
1 lb chicken (boneless, skinless breasts or thighs, or ground), or extra firm tofu
1 bunch broccoli, cut into florets and lightly steamed
2 lbs mushrooms, cut in half
2 bell peppers (red, yellow or orange)
1 bunch green onions, trimmed and sliced in 1/2 inch pieces

Sauce

2-3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh ginger, minced
2 tbls fish sauce (or plum vinegar for vegetarian)
2 tbls yellow curry powder (mild or spicy)
2 tbls tomato paste
Siracha hot sauce, to taste (optional)
1 can light coconut milk
1 cup water, plus additional as needed
Season, to taste*

Whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce in a large bowl and set aside.  Stir fry chicken in a large wok or skillet until lightly browned.  Add veggies and sauce and stir until veggies are tender.  Add in noodles and 1 cup water and stir frequently until all the liquid is absorbed.  If all the noodles have not softened, add more water.  Serves 4.

*Both fish sauce and plum vinegar are both very high in sodium, so taste before you add too much additional salt.

  2. This looks delicious! I love Thai rice noodles, though I'll need to tone down the spice factor for my picky family - but I'd totally eat as is :)

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. 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 (

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
