Ahi Mango Salad with Tostones

I’ve had this recipe saved in my Instagram Saved posts for some time and thought this week, in the middle of summer, would be a great time to try it out.

It did not disappoint. 



The recipe is from CookbyColor and was posted on Whole30Recipes IG

Came together in about an hour (because the tostones)

I served it with tostones, Siete chips, seaweed sheets, and avocado and topped mine with furikake, toasted sesame seeds, volcanic salt chili flakes (a gift from my acupuncturist from a trip she made to Greenland) 

It was a nice weekday dinner. 

Chopped sushi grade (fresh, frozen and thawed) ahi tuna, mango, Persian cucumbers and red onion into about 1/4” cubes. Added one deseeded Finely chopped Serrano pepper. 

Dressed with: 1/3 c coconut aminos, 2 tsp fish sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1/4” “nub” of chopped ginger, chopped garlic clove, chopped whites of 2 green onions 

Combined chopped stuff and dressing and tossed in bowl. Served over some bagged chopped salad/slaw mix. Topped with Furikake, toasted sesame seeds, chili flakes, sliced avocado 

Made tostones by pan frying one inch pieces of plantain in a  cast iron pan with avocado oil. Flipped and smashed with the back of a large spoon. Sprinkle of salt. 

I ate mine with the Siete chips and seaweed sheets. And a spoon. 🥄

Copy Cat Kerbey Queso

Image
You cannot be a proper Tex-Mex lover without eating at least 1 quart of queso per year.  I'm pretty sure I started the year off in the right direction by making this copy-cat Kerbey Queso for NYE.   Kerbey Lane Queso is my favorite in Austin.  So creamy, so cheesy, and so good.  White queso with pico and a scoop of guacemole in it that you kind-of have to dig around in, which makes it soooo good.  Have I said how good it is? That being said, I've tried so many queso recipes.  I've made beschemels, I've used expensive, good cheeses.  No queso seems to hold that creamy consistency very well.  So when one of my friends, Rachel, was back home in Austin from her now home-town in Seattle she asked one of the servers what's in it.  She just had to know.  The server leaned in close to her and whispered, "it's white processed cheese."  OMG, my mind was blown.  No wonder it's so flippin' good.  I think the HEB brand white queso is...

Mom's Bun Bo Hue Chay (Vietnamese vegetarian spicy "beef" noodle soup)

Image
After many requests from my sister and cousin, I finally documented my mom's vegetarian bun bo chay !  Get ready, this recipe is kind of intense and usually takes 2 days to make.  My mom makes a giant pot of it and the whole family eats it in the span of a day or two.  She freezes the broth for later use (if there is any left over!).  The flavor does enhance each time the broth is reheated, so it's usually better the second day and each subsequent time.  It's so good, I often prefer it to regular bun bo (Spicy Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup). Bun bo Hue  is a specialty of the central region of Vietnam, where my dad's side is from.  You won't find it as commonly as pho  or bun  (vermicelli bowls) in most Vietnamese restaurants.  This is a soup that is a labor of love and family and spicy-tolerance.  My ong noi  (paternal grandfather) used to make the best bun bo hue !  Now my Aunt Angelique/ Co Be  makes a cleaner, tast...
