Improv Noodles

by AuthorLinda Watson DateSep 17, 2013 | | Comment2 Comments | Print ArticlePrint Article | | Pin It!

Sometimes a recipes just doesn't turn out. Here's how I improvised when a dish turned out to be both bland and bitter. (I'd bought kale grown across the county to test a recipe. I also rarely use curry powder, so it may have become bitter due to my neglect.) This rescue uses healthy spins on Big Food tricks, moving the food closer to becoming irresistible without triggering overeating.

Improv Noodle Bowl overcomes bitterness to become a bowl of delight, using healthy version of Big Food tricks. Vegan.
