Marc's Magnificent Noodles

The Garden of Vegan~pg. 155:

 I didn't really feel like cooking supper but I made this and it was so easy-only 6 ingredients and it was quick to make and soooo good. It had soba noodles (which I love), garlic, miso, flax oil, baby spinach and green onion. The recipe called for 3 garlic cloves which are used raw in the sauce. Whew! I think we'll be keeping  some vampires away a few days! Next time I might saute' the garlic or decrease the amount. But it was still delicious. My husband asked if it had butter in it; nooo, that is the flax oil and miso!

Seaweed Soup~pg. 104

Vegan Culinary Institute La Dolce Vegan! Challenge:

I would always pass by this recipe when browsing through my cookbook but it pays to try new things! This is absolutely delicious. I don't like the smell of the dried seaweed but after you simmer it in the broth it is wonderful. The lime juice really brings out the flavor of everything; I even added extra lime juice on my serving (well, I ate 3/4 of the pot!)

I had to take a picture of the dried seaweed strips; they looked so pretty.

After I took a photo I used scissors to snip the noodles into pieces to make it easier to eat. Now I know what to do with the remaining sheets of nori seaweed I have; make more soup! It's great with some cubed tofu added to it also.
