Ever
had stuffed peppers before? If not then I highly suggest that you do
as they are quite good. I came across this “Asian Stuffed Peppers”
recipe on FatFreeVegan.com, which sounds quite good. I am going to change it up a bit, just
with organic ingredients, of course. If anyone else decides to try
this please don’t be afraid to post your comments here.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 ounces uncooked curly
Chinese-style noodles or angel hair pasta, broken into thirds
2
large red bell peppers
1 cup cubed firm tofu (about 6 ounces)
2
tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2
teaspoons dark sesame oil (I use water and a little soy sauce)
2
garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup diagonally sliced snow peas
1/2
cup (1 1/2-inch) julienne-cut carrot
2 tablespoons chopped fresh
cilantro
Directions:
Cook noodles according to package
directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.
Cut each bell pepper in half
lengthwise, and discard seeds and membranes. Arrange pepper halves in
a 9-inch pie plate. Cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap. Microwave at
high 5 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Return peppers to pie
plate.
Combine tofu, hoisin sauce, and soy
sauce in a small bowl; set aside. Heat oil (or other saute
liquid) in a nonstick skillet over medium- high heat. Add garlic;
sauté 15 seconds. Add peas and carrot; sauté 3 minutes
or until vegetables are tender. Add tofu mixture; sauté for 1
minute or until thoroughly heated. Stir in noodles. Divide noodle
mixture evenly among pepper halves; sprinkle each pepper half with 1
1/2 teaspoons cilantro.
