Peanut Shrimp in Coconut Sauce

Peanut Shrimp in Coconut Sauce

And here’s another example of Asian cooking (Thai to be more exact) at its best. It’s hot and nutty, like in peanut and coconut-nutty and we didn’t use dairy at all. We substituted butter and milk with coconut oil and coconut milk. We would serve this over cooked rice, but maybe some of you would prefer it as is.

Beef Stir-Fry with Noodles

Beef Stir-Fry With Noodles

This ingredient-rich but still pretty light stir-fry was obviously inspired to us by the Asian cuisine. It’s low on calories and not that high in carbohydrates. The iron and vitamin B12-rich sirloin steak, marinated in soy sauce and fish oil, is the perfect match for the noodles. And that’s especially true when everything is cooked with caramelized shallot and ginger and served dressed with citrus juice.
