It's a mix of a couple of recipes, but here's what I did yesterday:
- 1 brick of extra-firm tofu, cut in cubes
- 1 340 g of 26-45 shrimps, shelled (it's about 250g of peeled shrimp)
- (If you have some on hand, trow some cubed leftover chicken too)
- 165 grams of broccoli florets (one small head without the stem)
- 125 grams of sliced red bell pepper (one medium pepper)
- 100 grams of baby bok choy (that was about six baby for me, but they were really small), leaves finely sliced and reserved, stem quartered
- 65 grams of sugar snap peas (about a cup), chopped in half horizontally
- I didn't have some yesterday, but I would usually add two handfuls of bean sprouts
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 3 shallots, minced
- 2 green onions, white part minced, green part reserved
- 225 grams wide rice sticks
- Then for the garnish: fresh coriander, fresh thai basil, reserved sliced bok choy leaves, and if you have them on ham, choped peanuts
Sauce (not orthodox, but it's less sweet and less caloric this way):
- 2 tablespoon of tomato paste
- 2 tablespoon of tamarind concentrate (can replace with lime juice, but it's tastier with tamarind)
- 2 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 tablespoon water
So.
Distribute tofu cubes on a sheet pan lightly coated in oil and baked them in a preheated oven (400 F). Turn cubes after 10 minutes and remove them from the oven after 20. They will be crispy, puffy, but not dry. Reserve.
Mix sauce ingredients in a heatproof measuring cup and microwave for 45 seconds. Taste and balance the flavor with fish sauce (if it needs salt), sugar (if it's too acid) or tamarind (if it's too sweet), then reserve.
Meanwhile, heat a wok at medium-high heat and pour a little olive oil and a little sesame oil (1 tablespoon olive, 1 teaspoon sesame). Sauté peppers, bok choy stems, sugar snap peas, shallots and green onions. Add garlic and shrimps after 3 minutes so it won't burn/overcook. If you use leftover cooked chicken, add it with the shrimps.
Meanwhile (yes, you have to be like an octopus), bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rice sticks. In the last two minutes of cooking (they will still be chewy) add the broccoli florets. If you use bean sprouts, add them with the broccoli. When sticks are al dente borderline tender, drain and pour cold water in the pot. Keep sticks and broccoli in the cold water until you're ready to assemble.
When shrimps are cooked, drain the rice sticks and the broccoli and put them in the wok. Add the baked tofu cubes. Add the sauce, and mix with tongs until sauce coats everything. It will probably thickens a bit, thanks to the tomato paste. Add half of the fresh herbs you have on hand and mix it again.
Divide the mixture in four bowls and top with herbs, minced green onions and chopped peanuts. Add some Sriracha for the kick, and serve with a wedge of lime.
Here are the nutritional value:

Tried a new place today. The appetizer was a roasted beet "hummus" with roasted garlic flat bread, goat cheese and olives (super yummy!), and the main dish was a hamburger with a spicy avocado guacamole, cheddar, bacon and homemade potato chips and a side salad. I actually enjoyed the side salad and the beet hummus more than the burger. The burger was dry and way too salty.

Grilled Sockeye salmon with lemon garlic seasoning...
I've got salmon too.
Chili lime sockeye salmon (pan fried, no oil), brussels sprouts, my own dijon balsalmic cole slaw, and a tomato for extra color (yes, I'll eat tomato like I do any other fruit).

Another stuffed mushroom (this one ended up face first on the plate though so it's not as pretty as yesterday's), broccolini and dijon baked tofu.

Today is a public holiday where I live and while I'm sure most people are using it as an excuse to sleep in, I used it as an opportunity to bake some egg muffins to be my breakfast for the week. I've been trying to eat more protein and less carbs for breakfast (I'm insulin resistant) which is difficult for me as I've always been a cereal kinda gal. Last week I was just making eggs in the microwave but even though I used a spray oil on the bowls, the egg still stuck and made a mess. I'd made egg muffins before and they also stuck to the paper liners so this time I tried 3 methods. The silicone liners were a clear winner but I only have 4 of them. Looks like I'll need to buy more!
