Pea Shoots, chopped mushrooms and leftover roasted chicken. Tossed with a quick sauce of
tamari, Sriracha, rice vinegar, fish sauce, water, sesame and olive oils and maple syrup.
Okonomiyaki (
Adapted from Five and Spice)
Love this -- sometimes called a Japanese pizza, we adapted it more like one of our favorite Vietnamese dishes, Bánh Xèo. Sautéed
shrimp with
Green Garlic (from
last week's haul) and
Scallions in a little grass-fed butter. Sautéed chopped
Garlic Scapes, mushrooms, shredded cabbage,
Pea Shoots and peas in olive oil. Whisked together 2 eggs, 3 egg whites, sesame oil, tamari and gluten free flour. Spread vegetables and shrimp evenly in a hot large cast iron skillet with a little oil and butter. Pour egg mixture evenly over shrimp and vegetables, let set then finish in the broiler to brown top.
