  Course noodles, pasta Cuisine Indian Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 25 minutes Servings servings Ingredients ■ Veggies 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2 green peppers chopped 3 cloves garlic diced 1 pound green beans 1/2 pound chopped carrots 1 cup chopped celery, green onion, napa cabbage, or other favorite veggies (optional) 3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice 1 tablespoon red Thai curry paste 1/3 cup fresh natural tahini 1 tablespoon ground ginger 1 tablespoon agave nectar or sugar 1/2 cup coconut Milk Thai basil (optional) ■ Sauce 1/3 cup low-sodium wheat-free tamari sauce 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or to taste ■ Noodles 1 package Thai-style large or small rice noodles

  Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan or wok over medium heat. Saute the chopped 1garlic and veggies in oil for 5-7 minutes until they soften just a bit. Then add the ingredients for the sauce to the veggies and stir to combine.
  2. After adding the sauce ingredients, lower the heat, and continue cooking until you the sauce has reached a creamy consistency and the veggies are perfectly crunchy and cooked to your liking. You may need to add more tahini or coconut milk to get a more saucy texture if you added more veggies or if the tahini you used was somewhat less oily. Play with the amounts to get the consistency you desire.
  3. While veggies are cooking, soak the rice noodles in a separate pot of boiling water for 3-5 minutes to soften.
  4. Drain and then add the softened rice noodles to the wok to soak in the sauce and veggies for just a minute to mix up the flavors and sauce. Just before removing from heat, add a handful of chopped fresh Thai basil, if desired. Then toss and serve immediately.

  Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil, drop in the rice noodles, and boil until the noodles are soft but not mushy, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Rinse with cold water, and drain in a colander set in the sink. Chop the noodles up into small pieces, and set aside.
  2. Wrap the shredded cabbage in a kitchen towel or a length of cheesecloth, and squeeze the excess moisture out. Place the cabbage, tofu, zucchini, green onions, garlic, black pepper, sesame oil, eggs, salt, and chopped rice noodles in a large bowl, and mix with your hands until evenly mixed and the tofu is broken up into very small chunks.
  3. Place a round wonton wrapper onto a work surface, and spoon 1 to 2 teaspoons of filling into the center of the wrapper. Dip your finger in water and moisten the edge of the wrapper about halfway around, then fold the wrapper over, enclosing the filling, and pinch the edges together to make a half-moon shape. Lay the completed rolls on a cookie sheet while you finish filling and folding the rest.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet, and working in batches, fry the rolls until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
