Chili Crisp Tahini Noodles with Grilled Bok Choy

June 23, 2021 No Comments

I know, it’s been, like, a week since I posted my Seared Ribeye with Chili Crisp Butter and here I am with yet another chili crisp creation. It’s okay, you can think I’m obsessed. I know I am. And if you’ve ever tasted the magic that is Lao Gan Ma’s Spicy Chili Crisp, I’m confident you are as well. So you will forgive me for posting these Chili Crisp Tahini Noodles on the heels of that unforgettable butter. These noodles just demanded to be made. And with the official arrival of summer, this chilled noodle dish is a very helpful and heatwave-friendly meal to have in your back pocket. So repeat ingredients aside, this is all very timely.

I’m back with yet another salad. And once again this salad is short on virtue because this salad is mostly bread and I’m not the least bit sorry about it. It is my ardent belief that carbs make you a kinder, gentler person. I have no science to back this up, just my own experience with carb-related hangriness. But whether it’s true or not, I do think this Green Panzanella Salad makes the world, or at least a picnic, a better place to be. It has a thick creamy dressing, eggs with jammy yet velvety yolks, roasted asparagus, and as I mentioned earlier, it’s at least 80% bread. And don’t worry, there’s cheese in there as well.

Souvlaki is plentiful in my neighborhood. I live in Toronto’s Greektown, so at any given moment I am steps away from top-notch souvlaki. And I take frequent advantage of this happy situation. But I must admit I rarely enjoy a stick of veg souvlaki from these otherwise fantastic haunts. I suspect these lackluster zucchini-heavy affairs are the way they are because few people order them. It’s true, my order is usually chicken or pork souvlaki. But it really doesn’t have to be this way. Veggie souvlaki can be exciting and today’s Halloumi and Eggplant Souvlaki proves just that.

I have written extensively about my love for veggie burgers. I’m a huge fan of the variety of grain and legume medley’s that fall under the veggie patty umbrella. I find them satisfying, totally crave-able, and nothing like a regular burger. And that is fine by me. My veggie burger cravings and burger burger cravings are not intertwined. In other words, I would never dream of subbing one for the other. They offer completely different eating experiences. These Curried Kidney Bean Patties for instance, in no way scratch a Big-Mac-style itch. But when I’m in the market for a toothsome veggie burger, they more than fit the bill.
