  1. This was amazing! Super simple and so satisfying, even for my 11 mo. old baby. I couldn’t count the number of yum-yums I heard from her as she watched me prepare this dish and then got to eat it herself. So precious!

  2. Fire Cupping…

  3. Delish! I didn’t have some of the ingredients so I took some “creative liberty”! I used whole grain spaghetti noodles, as I usually have those in the pantry. We use them for all noodle dishes, no matter whether it is an Asian inspired dish, or Italian. They taste great in everything. Also, I used bok choy instead of snap peas, and frozen corn kernals instead of canned baby corns. I also added chopped onions and tofu cubes to the overall mix, as both are a favorite in our house. My 3 year old slurped this up, and my 11 month old ate 2 helpings as well. A big hit!

  4. to clarify a gluten-free basic: all soy sauce contains wheat except for wheat-free tamari. Make sure the label says wheat-free — although traditional tamari is gluten-free, some brands now add wheat! San-J is widely available (they even make a low-sodium version), including on Amazon.

  5. Interesting recipe and very simple to make. Wondering if you have any other veggie option instead of snow peas? My boy is a tough sell for those. He typically doesn’t like veggies that aren’t cooked tender, but I’ve been working on him slowly and think he may go for something like this recipe (without the snow peas of course!).

  6. That looks really yummy. It made me think back to when my Mom would make stir fry and we had to pick out all the baby corn for my little bro cause that’s all he would eat…now, he won’t even eat them. 🙂 Funny how our eating habits change as we grow.
