I have about 42 of Heidi Swanson’s recipes bookmarked, but for some reason I always forget about them when I’m trying to figure out something to cook. Tonight, I finally made her Garlic Soba Noodles and it was SO. GOOD.
But the best part wasn’t the soba noodles. It was the tofu. I usually just make bread crumbs out of bread or crackers or any other crumbly thing I can get my hands on, but this time I bought some Italian-flavored panko bread crumbs. I did this mostly because I was feeling too lazy to make my own, and these were the only ones I could find that didn’t have some kind of trans-fat-high-fructose-poison combination in the ingredient list. These bread crumbs were really good. Maybe I just have a thing for bread crumbs. Actually, I do have a thing for bread crumbs. I used to eat them out of the canister with a spoon when I was a kid (remember that, mom? Why’d you let me do that?). They totally made this meal. I added some parmesan cheese like Heidi said, and dipped in some egg whites, and done!
Afterward, I had some chocolate ice cream:
It’s a tiny bowl, but I packed that sucker.
I didn’t know they made Italian flavored panko crumbs. Thanks for the tip!
dang that noodle dish looks amazing. i had my first tofu searing experience tonight. i did i damn good job, i think…
that bowl is precious.
What kind/brand of ice cream is that?! I want!
but thats why you use tiny bowls for ice cream- to fill ‘er up!
As you would so eloquently say:
That meal was “the bomb dot com.”
im jealous of you food.
and your presentation is great- gordon ramsey would probably only call you a cow once. because its so good.
i like when he calls girls cows. im not sure why.

You’re the bomb dot com. And face it, your vocabulary is a little bit cooler since you met me.
Kelly –
Chris demands a beautiful presentation.
Crissy –
You have to cook them for only like a few minutes, and then they stick together so as soon as you drain them you have to oil them up. Did that help?
i always try to use a mini bowl for ice cream so that i can attempt portion control. i always go back like 20 times and then start eating straight from the carton though, so my plan usually doesn’t work so well.
btw i added you to my blogroll, i hope thats ok : )
[...] had some of those amazing breadcrumbs leftover, so I added them on top to jazz it up a little. And now I’m drinking some [...]
