Does anyone have a good recipe for either yakisoba or something yummy with rice noodles? Bonus points for veg and/or vegan. I’m a bit of an inexperienced cook and I don’t have a wok, but I would try to make things work anyway cause I wanna expand my capability and enjoy tasty things.

i can’t remember if this is actually the recipe i used, but curry soup type things involving rice noodles are usually very easy to make as long as you can find the curry paste
in general woks of life is great for this sort of thing (i feel like im constantly talking about them)
i have tried to make stuff like pad thai but it is usually more trouble than its worth. i find pan frying noodles to be really difficult, and a pain in the butt to clean up
just realized this recipe calls for chicken but you could easily substitute some kind of tofu

not sure if the rice noodles are like the thai rice paper noodles or the vermicelli kind, but this type of dressing works well with either. heck, you could use spaghetti noodles in a pinch and it’ll still be good. bonus points because it’s summer and cooking in the summer suuucks
this is a rough approximation! i’m pretty terrible at writing down recipes
2 TB peanut butter (or tahini!)
1 TB sesame oil
1 TB neutral oil (rice bran is my go-to, but canola or whatever also works)
~1 TB soy sauce
2-3 cloves of garlic microplaned (or minced), depending on size/how garlicky you like stuff.
1 TB lime juice
~3 TB water from cooking or rehydrating the noods
mix all that stuff together, season it more or less to your liking. adding a little bit of honey for sweetness is nice, sometimes. chop up a bunch of your favorite vegetables and herbs, toss all them veggies with the noodles and the dressing. if fish sauce is okay, it wouldn’t hurt to have a splash of that either. there’s this fermented pineapple sauce that i can’t remember the name of that tastes exactly like fish sauce and is vegan friendly, i’ll have to ask a friend to remind me what it’s called again. chili crisp on top for spicy if that’s your thing
definitely add some seared tofu or a fried egg

sounds delicious. If you find out the name of that pineapple sauce, I’d love to know.

I’m trying to ditch diet sodas (I don’t mess with regular soda anymore, but I know the diet kind doesn’t do any favors), and boy howdy it’s been a struggle, but I’ve been ordering a few cases here and there of Polar seltzer and…it helps!
Cranberry Lime and Black Cherry are probably my favorites so far, but I really wish I could find Ginger Lime. Ordered some of that from a different brand and that’s…perfect. Solid soda substitute and, at least with the flavor lending to a sorta “ah I gotta sip this one slow,” good for abating any “dang I wish I had some alcohol” thoughts as well.
On the food front I am trying to get better at cooking mushrooms. Made some a week or two ago that turned out great, and of course now I can’t find the recipe to share it.

Have not been drinking alcohol lately, which is good, but this has left a “non sweet beverage” shaped hole in my heart that is hard to fill. Surprisingly non alcoholic beer has got pretty good lately. There are like zero alcohol ipas and stuff. The flavor and feel is still inferior, but good in its own right. Like fake meat, they are better if you think of them as their own thing rather than an imitation of something else. It’s a grain and hops flavored seltzer.
More excitingly discovered the Italian soda chinotto. They technically have about as much sugar as coke so probably not a healthy choice, but the flavor is more like bitter citrus which is nice.
Not sure where the next frontier over the beverage horizon will be but I’m excited for the journey

There’s an entirely too expensive beverage called Hoptea that I liked for the same reasons.

made chimichurri with just cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, and olive oil in the blender (I will never learn “knife skills” for cooking) and put it on impossible burgers. all the herbaceous flavor and acid of a ton of toppings without the mess
then I re-blended it with a chipotle pepper/adobo sauce and ate eight ounces of cold baked tofu with it. I may eat cold baked tofu with this sauce for every meal for a while
curious about a variation substituting citrus for vinegar

I made a grilled cheese with some leftover cole slaw in it and it was surprisingly good

buy a punch of pie shells and make a bunch of pies
reduce them for a long time until they’re a solid chunk then make a knife out of it
fertilizer
chip them out individually from the big frozen block of raspberries and throw them at passersby
ice cubes for drinks - lightly flavored raspberry ice water
