Produce Adventures - Spicy Peanut Noodles & Twice Fried Green Beans with Turkey


B is on his way to a full recovery! Yay!

We've cooked more this week than we have in nearly the entire last month. We've wrapped up a lot of wedding planning (still a few details...) and our house doesn't look so scary.

Monday night B made pasta, Sunday I made a grilled corn mess (delicious but totally hodge-podge) using some CSA baby potatoes. Tuesday's dinner though - it was amazing.

B used yellow and green beans and a recipe we've tried before - Twice Fried Green Beans. The snap beans get a little crunchy and take in a ton of Asian-food flavor. We grilled up some ground turkey in the same spices too. I used our immersion blender to mix up some Spicy Peanut Sauce for Spicy Peanut Noodles. We topped the noodles with cilantro, red pepper and scallions. Easy as pie - seriously.

We have leftover peanut noodles until the end of time, too. The peanut noodles I've had from Wow Bao are usually served cold. These leftovers should help us solider through the next few hot days.

Produce Used:
  • Green Beans
  • Yellow Beans
  • Scallions
  • Red Pepper
  • Cilantro
Yay!

Peanut noodles are one of my favorite things to make! Kyle loves them and they taste great cold or hot. They're also so versatile they go with whatever produce you have on hand! yum!
