Japanese udon noodles, which cook in a matter of minutes, soak up all of the slightly spicy umami-rich sauce in this stir-fry. Cubes of golden tofu make the meat-free supper substantial. You can also use cubed chicken or pork. Cost: $2/serving
Reminiscent of Vietnamese pho, this noodle soup starts with a flavourful broth that takes a fraction of the usual time to prepare. Serve with lime wedges and Asian chili sauce on the side.
Lettuce cups are a fun (and easy!) way to enjoy this speedy stir-fry, but you can also serve it over steamed rice with a drizzle of the hoisin dressing.
Grilled corn is the ultimate summer side. Brushing the aioli onto the corncobs during grilling allows it to cook. If raw eggs are a concern for you, discard the remaining aioli rather than serving it at the table. If you prefer, substitute with our Sriracha Mayonnaise.
