The thick meat sauce on these noodles is a bit like an Asian-style Bolognese. The cooked noodles tend to stick together if they stand for a while, so mix the sauce into them and eat right away for the best texture. For a twist, serve the sauce over rice with a side of steamed bok choy.
This is a meatless version of the popular Vietnamese pho, a hearty beef-based noodle dish. To add meat, substitute paper-thin slices of top sirloin for the tofu. Serve with an assortment of fresh garnishes such as cilantro, sliced green onions, sliced chilies, bean sprouts and lime wedges.
This is a great standby for an impromptu dinner party. You can easily switch up the herbs, nuts and dried fruit for a different flavour.
Golden pan-fried tofu is right at home alongside fresh, crisp spring produce. Make this dinner a weekly staple by switching up the veggies and using whatever you have in the fridge.
Couscous is a great secret weapon for busy nights because it needs only a 5-minute soak to be ready for the table. If you don't like scallops, peeled deveined jumbo shrimp make a tasty substitute.
