Back to the Food

Last night we had a very simple and delicious meal. I set up a sushi bar for the children: cooked brown rice, julienned carrots, peppers, avocado and nori sheets. The girls had a blast assembling their own sushi rolls (though the floor was a but messy) and got a nutritious meal.

I also tossed together a quick stir-fry for the adults. To do so thinly slice up your favorite veggies (I used onion, garlic, shiitake mushrooms, bell pepper, carrot, broccoli and kale), protein (chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu, tempeh) and saute with Stir-Fry Sauce:

3 T Soy Sauce
1 T rice vinegar
1 T honey
2 t sesame oil
2 t minced ginger
1 t cornstarch

This is a quick and healthy dish that goes great over brown rice or quinoa. I sauteed strips of mochi in butter and drizzled them in maple syrup for dessert. What a hit!
