3D Jazzy Noddles!








I came up with this dish one night that I was craving a yummy dinner that was easy, quick and super rich in nutrients. My body was craving Asian mushrooms (which is an indication your body is asking for a boost in vitamin D!) - but then again, I am always craving Asian mushrooms, as well as fresh raw kale that is now so abundant this time of year!
The main ingredients are THREE - the spices and dressing are a couple of things that most people have in their pantry. I call them "3D Jazzy Noodles" because the recipe came from my own head, called for three main ingredients ... and their fun! :) Ha ... for lack of originality!
I was lucky enough to pick the kale at my good friend Annie's beautiful abundant garden just a couple of days ago. Everything tastes so much fresher when it's hand picked. The mushrooms were from the Farmer's Market and the noodles from the Asian market - These simple details add so much to the flavor of the food you prepare!


Ingredients:
- Flat Asian rice noodles (or any other noodle you like)
- Maitake mushrooms (or any other Asian variety: shiitake, oyster, black ...)
- Fresh kale (washed and chopped into strands)
- Coconut oil
- Tamari Sauce
- Garlic powder
- Salt and Pepper (I used Himalayan pink salt)
- Chili paste (optional if you want some spice!)


Directions:
Cook the noodles according to directions. Drain and rinse.
Wash kale and chop.
In a cast iron skillet, heat a little bit of coconut oil, saute' the mushrooms with garlic powder, a generous drizzle of tamari sauce and black pepper. Cook until very well done.
Place noodles on the plate, top with mushrooms, kale, drizzle extra tamari sauce and a touch of chili paste. Enjoyed best with chop sticks, naturally! ;)

Buon Appetito!
