Yesterday's lunch and dinner: noodles \ salad

Yesterday was just another day, work, shopping for groceries, a short stroll outside to stretch and get some air but mostly to feed the neighborhood cats. Then a shower and lots of TV. Just another day.
But that ordinary day produced two great photographs and a story to tell.


Stir fried noodles with pork, chicken and smoked bacon


An annoyed delivery person brought me my noodles.
Wide, whole wheat egg noodles, pork, chicken, smoked bacon, bok choy, broccoli, green string beans, cashew nuts and peanuts, stir fried. Oh, and there were thin slices of fresh red chili peppers too.
I ordered it from Giraffe, hoping their streak of good food will go on forever. This time was a bit worse, some of the port was chewy and she noodles were a bit dry - which might resulted from a very long trip on the delivery scooter.


amazing fresh salad


After shopping for fresh vegetables you kinda have to use them otherwise they're not fresh, so I made a quick salad for dinner, along with vegetarian cocktail wieners, but they're not the main story here.
The salad ingredients were: various sprouted lentils, radish sprouts, mushrooms, thin zucchini slices, chestnuts, soft young goat cheese, aged and ripe goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, cranberry juice concentrate, olive oil, black and white mustard seeds, coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
We ate it with fresh rolls, and it was so amazing that I can't even describe it with words.

That's it.

Stir fried vegetables on white rice

Check out this yummy goodness:




What you see is white rice, but above that rice is a pile of amazing flavors, string at me, waiting to be eaten, and all I do is take pictures while I drool.

Zucchinis, mushrooms, shavings of ginger, carrots, bits of red bell peppers, stir fried with freshly ground black pepper and whole cloves of garlic, with some mustard grains and grainy mustard, and then stir fried further with date syrup for that extra sweetness and a touch caramel flavor \ color.

I sometimes add various curry pastes to the mix, every paste has a different flavor and behaves differently upon frying so it's always interesting to experiment taste and explore.

This is a great side dish but is also good enough for a vegetarian main course (also vegan if you use the right ingredients).
