This is my take on a Vietnamese salad, and the recipe makes one serving!

What you’ll need:

• one square of baked tofu (okay, so maybe the tofu is more Chinese than Vietnamese)
• seasoning for the soy baked tofu (I used soy sauce, Chinese 5 spice-McCormick, and cayenne pepper-Trader Joe’s)
• Pam
• Lettuce (I chose organic baby romaine)
• one small carrot-sliced
• one persian cucumber
• 3/4 cup bean sprouts
• rice vinegar

After school snack for me and my sister! Who knew something so simple could be so scrumptious? TJ whole wheat middle eastern flatbread, TJ pizza sauce, TJ shredded mozzarella, sliced crimini mushrooms. Will definitely be having this more often!

Pre-bake

Toppings for tonight’s pizza!!

• 30 medium sized crimini mushrooms (not the super small ones, please!)
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper (about 1/2 a bell pepper)
• 1/2 cup green bell pepper (one small bell pepper or 1/2 a large bell pepper)
• 1/3 cup white onion
• 1 garlic glove
• 3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp flat-leaf Italian parsley—more for decoration, if you’d like
• chicken apple sausage (any type of sausage works, really)—I used two sausages from Trader Joe’s, about 5 oz. Also, if you’re vegetarian, you can do this minus the sausage
• salt
• pepper
• PAM!

Instructions

• Wash the mushrooms and pull out the thingymabobber/stemthingy, so that it’s just the cap of the mushroom. Then, with the top of the mushroom down, lay them on a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with PAM, and place them in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes. Before placing them in the oven, spray the mushrooms with another coat of PAM.
• Throw the sausage into a skillet sprayed with PAM, and ground the sausage up with a wooden spatula. The sausage should be in small chunks and slightly browned by the end (keep in mind that the sausage from Trader Joe’s is already cooked)
• Sautee the onions in a skillet sprayed with PAM until onions turn translucent (medium heat). Then, toss in the red bell peppers. After those seem tenderized, toss in the garlic and allow it to brown. Then, sautee it with the parsley and breadcrumbs for another 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Stir in the sausage. Season with salt and pepper
• Just fill those mushrooms up with the stuffing. And you’re done!
