Noodles with Purple Cauliflower & Shrooms

NOODLES WITH PURPLE CAULIFLOWER & SHROOMS

This is fun to cook and eat because of the bright purple hue and the super scrumptious mushrooms. Next time you’re at the farmers market, have these ingredients on your list! Purple cauliflower carmelizes beautifully and has a sweetness to it, and oyster mushrooms have a delicious umami flavor and delightful chewiness. Add tofu or shrimp for a meal with complete protein. 👍

Ingredients:

1/2 head purple cauliflower, broken into small pies, stalk sliced

2-3 large oyster mushrooms, sliced

1/2 red onion or whole shallot, thinly sliced

3 leaves bok choy, sliced

1/2 package Annie Chun’s brown rice maifun noodles, cooked

Sprinkle of ginger powder (or 1 tsp minced ginger), garlic powder, black pepper, and onion powder

2 Tbsp soy sauce
