Soy Sauce noodles



This is a recipe that I don't think you can mess up, but I don't really have a recipe for it.

Wide rice noodles
Sweet soy sauce
Regular soy sauce
Any kind of vegetables you want, I like to add onions, red and green peppers, zucchini and bean sprouts.

Boil the noodles until they are soft. Stir fry the vegetables in a little bit of oil, add the noodles and add soy sauce to taste.

Bacon Man stand in Sushi Flower




Sushi wraps (green sea weed squares with salt)
Cooked Bacon strips
Cooked rice
Carrots, sliced thin like little sticks
Eggs, fried and sliced
Red Bean Paste (in my opinion, this totally ruined the sushi, it was way too hot. Avoid it or use very little, unless you are angry with the person you are serving this to. Then slather it on… and watch their head explode.)

To make Bacon sushi:

Layer all ingredients in a line on one side of the sushi square. Get the opposite end wet and roll the whole thing like a pig in a blanket. Slice the log into 6 pieces, about ¾ of an inch thick. Put a scoop of rice in the middle of a circular plate. Place little sushi circles around the rice, to make it look like a weird Asian flower. Using much too much time and effort, magically make a man out of fried bacon and stand him in the middle of the flower.

Oat Crepes




2 c whole milk
1 c. oat flour
1 c. all purpose flour
4 large eggs
¾ c. water
1/3 c. melted butter (plus extra for the crepe pan)
1 tsp. salt

Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and process until mixed. Chill for a couple of hours. To cook crepes, bust out your 8 inch skillet. Put it on medium heat. Put a pat of butter and swish it around the pan. Remove pan from heat and pour about ¼ cup batter into the pan. Swish around until the pan is covered and then return to the heat. When it looks set, carefully flip and cook the other side for about 20 more seconds. The first few will turn out crummy, but then you’ll get your groove on and the rest will turn out perfectly. Any filling will work for crepes, but apple is especially delicious.


Apple Crepe filling:

6 Apples, peeled and sliced thin, sautéed in a little bit of butter and a dash of cinnamon, cooked till soft. I used granny smith, brauburn, gala, and fuji.

Whipped cream blended with cream cheese frosting.

Nutella, melted.

Almonds, chopped and toasted.
