Copycat PF Chang’s Spicy Green Beans

This is the best Copycat PF Chang's Spicy Green Beans recipe and perfect as a side dish or vegetarian main dish served over rice! When I was in high school, my friends and I used to frequent PF Chang’s more than I care to admit. It was great, but not so great because lets face it, while the food tastes delicious, it is packed with tons of sodium and other not so healthy ingredients. Figuring out how to make your favorite restaurant dishes at home, is actually pretty simple, but does take some work to get it just right. I am excited to have finally perfected the Copycat PF Chang’s Spicy Green ...

One Pot Spicy Thai Noodles

One Pot Spicy Thai Noodles are SO good and easy to cook up. This is a vegetarian recipe, but there are options for added protein too! These One Pot Spicy Thai Noodles are SO easy, essentially one pot, but you can cook it in a skillet too. That is the catch – if you cook it in a skillet, it’s going to be 2 pots because you have to cook the noodles first, but if you just use a big pot, it can really be one pot. Anyway, these Spicy Thai Noodles come together super quick and they are SO good. Spicy? Yes. So if you don’t like a lot of spice, scale back on the sriracha and red pepper ...

Spicy Asian Eggplant & Tofu Bowls

Y’all…this is one of the recipes that just comes together. I kind of feel like it could be a ‘clean out your fridge’ recipe, because it’s SO easy, and you can use just about any veggies in here. I had stopped at Super HMart on my way home last week, and of course I scouted out their produce. It is always SO cheap, and they have a HUGE variety…can’t beat that. So, when I saw they had the Japanese eggplants for .99 a pound and huge bags of baby bok choy for $1, I knew what I was picking up. As I headed towards the back of the produce section, they have a huge assortment of tofu, and it ...
