Tofu Pad See Ew
I finally found the right noodles to use for pad see ew and I’m excited to share this recipe! 🙂 I had been making this dish using regular wide rice noodles, which was also quite delicious, but these ho-fun-style noodles (aka “rice ribbons”) are definitely the key ingredient here.

Spätzle & Gulasch
I’m half German (Schwäbisch, sogar), so naturally Spätzle is one of my favorite dishes. 🙂 These Schwäbische pasta-dumplings are delicious with a variety of sauces, including Rahmsoße or Bratensaft – and even with cheese (Käsespätzle) – but especially with Gulasch. Gulasch 1 onion, thinly sliced 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced 4 garlic cloves, minced…
