It’s been raining around these parts, which in my experience is a very rare occurrence (oh hey, drought, what up?), so I tried my hand at paleo pho (because apparently that’s what you eat when it’s raining out). Except I used tofu because I didn’t feel like cooking meat, so technically I guess it’s not paleo but whatever, it’s delicious. Here’s what I used:
4 cups beef broth
half a sweet onion
a bunch of fresh cilantro (if you have mint or parsley or any other herbs, I say throw ’em in too)
1 zucchini (thinly sliced; noodlesque)
1 package of thin shirataki noodles (in the refrigerated tofu section)
1/2 teaspoon sesame seed oil (I just shook the bottle, I have no idea)
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/4 inch ginger root grated
1/4 cup soy sauce (use coconut aminos to paleofy it)
1 package extra firm tofu (thinly sliced beef or chicken would be even better. I’m lazy.)
lime
bean sprouts
scallions
sriracha
Combine beef broth, soy sauce, sesame seed oil, onions, ginger and garlic in a pot over medium high heat and let it hang out for a while. When you feel that the onions have had a chance to mingle, add the noodles, zucchini, cilantro and tofu. Once they’re nice and hot, pour them in a bowl and add a lime wedge (after you squeeze it, obvs), scallions, more cilantro, bean sprouts and Sriracha. That’s it. Super simple, super delicious and super low-carb. Just how I like it.
By the time you read this I’ll be flying to San Diego! Happy Friday, friends!
