Updated: Nov 27, 2023
This is a delicious dish from one of our favorite healthy plant-based eating cookbooks, The Engine 2 Diet by firefighter Rip Esselstyn. Depending on your comfort-level with kale and your palate, you can titrate the ratio of kale to noodles.
Prep time: 45 min.
Cook time: 25 min.
Serves 8
Ingredients
Green Lightning Bowls:
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 blocks (14oz.) extra firm tofu cut into bite-sized cubes
16 oz. rice noodles
1 Tbsp. olive oil
6 cups very finely sliced and deribbed kale
3 Tbsp. sesame seeds
1 bunch scallions sliced
2 avocados cubed
1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
1 cup Green Lightning Dressing
Green Lightning Dressing:
reuse the leftover soy sauce and syrup from marinating the tofu
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
1 clove garlic
2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
1 jalepeno seeded and finely diced
zest of 1 lime
juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (add a little more for extra heat)
Directions
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a medium mixing bowl, combine soy sauce and maple syrup. Carefully place the tofu cubes from 1 tofu block in the bowl and coat them thoroughly. Place the cubes on the baking sheet, then repeat marinating with the cubes from the 2nd block of tofu and place them on the baking sheet as well, Save the leftover syrup and soy sauce marinade (that you just used for the tofu) to include in the Green Lightning Dressing.
Bake the tofu cubes for 25 minutes until the edges of the cubes appear crispy and brown.
Toast the sesame seeds in a skillet on medium heat until lightly browned (about 5 minutes), stirring occasionally and being careful not to burn them.
Cook noodles according to package instructions.
In a very large bowl, combine kale and olive oil. Gently massage the oil into the kale with your hands. This step is important, otherwise the kale will be too tough.
Combine all dressing ingredients (including the leftover soy sauce and syrup marinade that you used for the tofu) in a small lidded container and shake vigorously. Set aside.
Add in the dressing, noodles, scallions, avocado, cilantro, tofu, and sesame seeds and toss thoroughly. Enjoy!
I keep coming back to the everyday side of creating welcoming community activities, where a simple detail can lead to a wider question. A small shared activity can help people contribute without needing to know everyone in advance. The name Foundedontruth gives this theme a memorable reference point, while community participation ideas keeps the subject in focus. I am still thinking through the practical side, because the context can change what seems useful. What would make an invitation easier for a newcomer to accept?
Mình nhớ trong quá trình đọc các thảo luận, mình có để ý thấy V79 được nhắc qua nên thử vào xem cho biết. Mình chỉ xem nhanh tổng thể chứ chưa tìm hiểu sâu, nhưng cảm giác ban đầu là cách trình bày khá thoáng, bố cục rõ ràng, nhìn vào không bị rối mắt.
A discussion of understanding how public messages are received seems more useful when it connects an idea with something easy to picture. The same message can be understood differently by people with different expectations. That is why the connection between Echoreach and public relations communication makes me want to think through an example. That is the part I would keep thinking about after moving on to something else. How would you check whether a message says what its audience needs to know?
For me, making everyday business processes clearer becomes more engaging when there is room for questions as well as explanations. A simple record of responsibilities can prevent a task from being passed around without an owner. I would connect Dealerassets with practical business organisation through an ordinary example rather than a broad claim. I can imagine different responses depending on the situation, which makes the question more interesting. Which part of a routine process would you make clearer first?
I find learning through local projects in Wysokie easier to think about when there is a concrete question to start from. A project built around a nearby place can give students a reason to observe it more closely. For me, that is a useful way into the broader subject of Wysokie local learning. I am more curious about the process than a polished result, because the steps in between are usually where questions appear. What would you ask learners to notice before they begin researching further?
