- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

- 3 tbsp grape seed, safflower or canola oil
- 1⁄2 small yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1⁄2 cup)
- 4 oz carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 1 cup)
- 4 oz fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly sliced (about 1 1⁄2 cups)
- 1 cup whole baby corn
- 1 medium bell pepper, cored, seeded and sliced into 1/8-inch-thick strips

Directions
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, Spice Spice Baby, garlic, sugar, sesame oil and 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper.
- In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until tender and translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a colander and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well and transfer to a large bowl. Add half of the sauce (about 3 tbsp) and toss to evenly coat.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsps oil over medium. Add onion, carrots, and baby corn- season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and half the remaining sauce (about 1 1⁄2 tablespoons) and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer the mixture to the bowl with the noodles.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp safflower oil and the bell pepper to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 2 minutes. Add snap peas and asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and stir until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture into the bowl with the noodles. Add the remaining sauce and toss until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide noodles among bowls and garnish with sesame seeds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Chicken Pad Thai
We like to experiment around here with our Healthy On You® spice blends in all kinds of recipes from as many cultures as we can. So watch out as we take on Pad Thai and make it our own. We’ve changed some ingredients around and added some in, and that is beauty and creativity of cooking
Cold Sesame Ginger Soba Noodles
This salad is perfectly balanced with the exotic blend of ginger and sesame. It’s super versatile and quick to prepare. You can use as many vegetables as you like to turn this into a full vegan meal or add your favorite meat/protein. Sometimes I add cooked shiitake mushrooms, peppers or bok choy for added texture. Whatever vegetable I have in the refrigerator or garden does the trick. Below is the standard version I make because I generally have all these vegetables at the ready.
New Year Vietnamese Pho with Crispy Shallots
This recipe evokes special memories for me and I wanted to share a New Year story with you all as we go into 2021! A few years ago on my trip to Vietnam, I was sitting in a little streetside cafe being blown away by a flavorful broth with super fresh vegetables. “How do you make this?!” I asked aloud. It was so different, so exotic and again, simply fresh!
