We mostly enjoy the quest for good food that doesn't contain chicken, pork, beef, turkey, lamb, eggs, or dairy.
Last night's meal - a noodle stir-fry - was a tasty treat only available in Hawaii. I used fresh chow fun noodles, fresh poke (cubed ahi with green onions and to-die-for seasonings), chop suey mix (bean sprouts, cabbage, shredded carrots), and a little onion. It seemed like something was missing, and I realize now I should have drizzled a little sesame oil and sprinkled sesame seeds on top. The soy sauce and red pepper flakes weren't enough.
The secret is the order in which everything's cooked. First, the onion (3 minutes), followed by chop suey (another 3 minutes). Then, I added the poke for a minute or two, followed by the chow fun noodles. Once they get heated up, it's time to drizzle oil and sprinkle sesame seeds. Yummy!
I have to admit, it seems like a waste to cook fresh poke (pronounced "poak-eh") when it's so good raw - but it's the only way Tom can eat it.
Next time I'll take a picture of the dish and add it to my post.
