Tag: Veggies

Last week I wanted salad, which is a rare thing, but I purchased arugula and tomato and such for said salad! Well a week later (not even a week really) and I noticed my salad leaves were started to go bad; you know how they start to get wet and slimy and such (real gross)!

However today, I thought, why not repurpose my salad ingredients so I can stop throwing away my yummy salad leaves.

This meal is vegan-friendly, so no meat involved. So here we go with my tasty warm Asian inspired noodle salad. Everything is leftover and sitting in my fridge, looking sad.

I boiled and drained my sweet potato noodles, cut them into smaller piece and rinsed in cold water to stop the cooking and set to the side.

1 package of baby bella mushrooms quarter and about 7 baby bell peppers sliced.

3 roma tomatoes. I had a half bag of each of the following: spinach, arugula, and broccoli slaw.

In my big wok pan which I love sooooo much is olive oil, heated. Add mushrooms and peppers and garlic and stir-fry for 4 minutes or so. Then add in the broccoli slaw and cook for another 4 minutes.

Add in the salad leaves

Let them cook just until wilted then add in tomatoes and I had some alfalfa sprouts

Mix and cook for 1 minute; I just let my tomatoes get warm.

Now the last steps are adding in the noodles and sauce. The salad dressing I used was an Asian sesame dressing, but you can use what you want, this is what I had

Mix and serve. You can eat hot, cold or room temp. I will never again throw away my salad leaves or other salad ingredients. After heating all the veggies, I could have added them to rice, or other noodles or even potatoes. Better yet, I could eat them without a carb!!! I just wanted to share with you guys. Until next time remember to Cook, Eat and Enjoy!!!
