Easy Asian Peanut Sauce

Sauteed Veggies in Peanut Sauce over Quinoa


Mary Sheehan has done it again! Just two weeks ago, I was looking for a peanut sauce to top our stir fry and couldn't remember where I had gotten the recipe before. This wasn't it, but it was even better than the last one! So simple and so good.

I did use crunchy peanut butter because that's what I had opened and mixed instead of the creamy peanut butter she recommends. I suspect it made the sauce a bit more challenging to mix, but I don't think it hurt it.

How can you wash hands before returning to work if the soap is empty?


I think I'd rather start with the positives about this dining experience. . .the soy sauce packets were pre-marked for easy removal of a corner. And as we all know, soy sauce can be very messy. The cut to help the corner tear smoothly eliminated the mess. The spring rolls, were nice and hot, a hint of ginger flavor (which today did nothing for the not-just-morning-morning-sickness) and appeared to be without mushrooms, which always makes the two of us happy.

Tamaris Soy(a) Sauce Available in America

Submitted by Amanda on

While looking for tahini at the grocery store this week, I happened to see way down at the end of the aisle Tamaris Soy Sauce! I couldn't believe it. Now, I can make Lynn's Vegetarian French Onion Soup recipe without exception. But. . .I'll have to wait until the end of the Florida heat. I also saw in my newest cookbook Coming Home to Cook that Mary Sheehan uses Tamaris Soy Sauce in her hummus.

Spicy Carrot Peanut Soup with Wild Rice

For my birthday, Paul bought me a "deck" of soup and stew cards from the Moosewood Restaurant collection. It was such a clever idea, and luckily, it was cold enough to take advantage of them before we left for Paris when my kitchen was nearly empty of food.

Chinese New Year Dinner

Recipe to Make Stir Fry

  • 2 large toes garlic, coarsly chopped
  • 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Carrot, julienned
  • 1 cup frozen broccoli
  • 2 oz. De Boles (organic) spaghetti style pasta (only because that is what was opened)
  • 1/4-1/2 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1/8 (or less) teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 6 Tablespoons Pad Thai Sauce from Moosewood Cooks at Home
  • Olive oil to cover bottom of a skillet

Boil pasta according to pasta directions. I do not salt the pasta because there is so much salt in the soy sauce. Meanwhile, cover a large skillet with oil. Turn the skillet on medium and add the onions. Microwave broccoli and sugar snap peas 1:30 minutes to defrost. Add carrots and garlic to the onions when they are softened. Add broccoli and peas until warm. Drain pasta and add it to the vegetables. Pour the Moosewood recipe mixture (lime, ketchup, and soy sauce) over the vegetables and pasta. Stir in sauce and two pinches fresh crushed red pepper. Serve hot.

Spicy Peanut Pasta

This was a fantastic recipe found in "Moosewood Restaurant Cooks at Home". I used a package of regular Italian spaghetti left over from another adventure, and the entire meal took two pots and one measuring cup for mixing the sauce. I did add a variety of vegetables to ensure a well-rounded meal. Paul was concerned about the spices I added saying they fought with each other. There was crushed red pepper added in the skillet. i topped the dish with a bit of chili powder, and the peanuts were salted and peppered. My mouth was on fire for a few hours, but I like it hot.
