Easy cashew-macadamia Soba noodles

 This recipe is top-notch, easy and  low cost !!!  Blasting the japanese rockers ROBIN in the speakers  while doing this is a plus!!!

Ingredients
One package soba noodles
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 Teaspoon lime juice
1 Tbsp cashew -macadamia butter(peanut butter will do -wont be as good though!)
1 Tbsp water
1 tsp ginger, grated
1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed
1 head broccoli or one bunch kale steamed
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
sesame seeds, chopped nuts, cilantro & chopped green onion for garnish

Directions
Prepare noodles as directed on package.

Drain noodles. In a small bowl combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, cashew-macadamia butter, water, grated ginger and garlic. Add to noodles and toss thoroughly to coat. If the sauce seems a little too thick, add some pasta water a tablespoon at a time until it looks like it will blend nicely with the noodles and not glop.

Top generously with chopped nuts, cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds, and steamed broccoli or kale

For a spicier version I add 1 teaspoon of thai  green curry paste !

Franckobrains is Back to the kitchen !!

Back to the kitchen, the same kitchen I used to own when I had my Vegan restaurant in 2005. When I closed it I hade many requests from old customers and regulars to re open something asap....


For me the restaurant life was over ! But after 4 years of cooking for friends and family , the natural urge to share my tasty recipes came back at the same time as the availability of my old kitchen !!! Coincidence ? I think not !

Next week will re-introduce the Psychobilly Vegan chef into his old kingdom of raw,real and vegan food !! The concept  will be a bit different :  I will offer ready to eat vegan and organic meals .. .that way you can bring a little bit of Franckobrains into your own home . Isn't that amazing ?

I will also  share some of my recipes and will post my reviews of cool places I'll visit when on the road with my band THE BRAINS...


I will also write some posts in french, occasionally , for my fellows french quebecois!

And the return of my vegetarian cooking classes will be in full effect soon !!! more to come !

My kitchen is located at the BIOTERRE health food store in the Mile End area in Beautiful Montreal, come and say hi ! (and buy my food!)
