Wednesday night. It's a good night. It's almost the weekend (emphasis on almost), the husband and I went for a nice walk since it was beautiful outside, and we had a delicious dinner.
Here's Soph begging for some tofu...
We had a ton of fresh vegetables in our fridge so I decided to make another round of veggie lo mein. I was feeling a little adventurous (and thin) so I decided to cut my veggie "noodles" with real pasta noodles. No regrets.
I cannot praise sesame oil enough. It really made this dish. If you're going to cook with an oil you might as well cook with something that's going to provide a lot of flavor. Sesame oil is the way to go if you're cooking an Asian-inspired dish.
I served our dinners in giant Fiestaware bowls my mom gave us to add to our collection. My theory is you don't need portion control when you're consuming 80-90% vegetables.
My one regret of the evening was with my chili paste. Not for me but for my husband. Sometimes I forget that I am genetically superior when it comes to consuming spicy food compared to Dylan. He still tries to keep up with me though. His first round of veggie lo mein was spice-free, the second round he added some chili paste. He needed a couple of cans of seltzer water after that... All in moderation my friends. However, if you are a fan of spicy food I suggest you buy some chili paste. It's spicy and it's zero calories and most importantly tasty!
We ended the evening with some fresh air popped popcorn. If you don't have a popcorn maker you're missing out. My brother got me this one years ago and I love it. It's a great healthy snack. I added some melted vegan butter and nutritional yeast to ours tonight. Better than the movies!
