Rice Noodle Salad with TVP and Fresh Herbs
There is a fabulous Vietnamese restaurant in Minneapolis. It’s called Quang. They make fantastic pho and their spring rolls are the best! I’ve tried so many different Vietnamese restaurants in the Twin Cities and in other states, but then I’ve been disappointed so many times. I get excited whenever I find a Vietnamese restaurant that has many great reviews, and after one bite, I’m like “It’s good, but not as good as Quang!” Then a few weeks ago we tried a new Vietnamese restaurant which is only 10 minutes from our house. It has good reviews but I was skeptical as I have been recently about any new Vietnamese restaurants. The restuarant is called Kim Anh Pastery and Deli, and I ordered rice noodle salad with shrimp and pork. It was absolutely delicious. I can’t say it’s better than Quang because I haven’t had this type of noodle salad at Quang for a long time. But I’ll definitely go back to this new place and it’s so close!
Since I liked their noodle salad very much, I wanted to create something similar to this for dinner tonight. My version is almost vegan. I say “almost” because there is no meat or fish in my version, but I used oyster sauce to flavor TVP and fish sauce for dressing. But I don’t feel bad about this not completely vegan because this salad tastes so fresh and flavorful, which is more important than having a 100% vegan dish to me. Lots of fresh herbs are a must!
You can make this too if you have: rice noodle, TVP topping(canola oil, garlic, ginger, jalapeno, red onion, TVP, salt, pepper, soy sauce, cane sugar, oyster sauce), cucumbers, carrots, dressing (fish sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, crushed red pepper), mint, basil, cilantro, fresh lime juice

フレッシュハーブたっぷりアジアンヌードルサラダ
先日見つけた近くのベトナムレストランで食べたヌードルサラダが美味だったので、似たようなものを作ってみました。
お店では海老と豚肉入りでしがた、うち版は、TVPと野菜、そして、デッキでとってきたフレッシュハーブをたっぷりのせて。
ベトナム料理ってホント美味しいものが沢山あると思う。
先週末にベトナムのサンドイッチ、バンミを食べた時も、幸せ～！な気持ちになったし（笑）。
しっかり味がついていながら、フレッシュな野菜やハーブの使い方がびみょーなんですよね～。
次のベトナム料理プロジェクトはもちろんバンミの予定で～す。
バンミってどんなもの？と思われた方、こちらは私版がアップできた時にちゃんと説明しますね。
