Bean Curd Skin and Pho Noodle Stir Fry

Once again, I fell in love with one of those beautiful pictures while nosing through the internet.  I really have absolutely no clue why those pictures always do me in, but they sure get me every time!  Although, I did end up modifying this recipe so much that it looked nothing like what was posted on The New York Times website.
But honetly, I think mine turned out just as pretty as theirs!  At the last minute I decided to throw some cashews on top too, which made M estatic.  The odd thing, though, was that although the recipe I adapted this from featured green beans, that would be one of the things that I would omit next time I make this.  They didn't really seem to fit, somehow... that, and the jicama that I decided to throw in because it needed to be used up.  So I have made those changes in this version of the recipe- that's why they are in the picture.  I though broccolini would be a good replacement, so there you have it!
I really wanted fresh water chestnuts in this too, as I have never had them and have heard tell that they are ten times better than canned, but the store I went to was all out.  Boo hoo!
But, although I was not overly impressed with the version that I made, it did have it's virtues, and I think this updated version that I am posting here would be quite excellent. 
I really can't seem to get enough mushrooms or noodles, can I?

  19. A motivating discussion is worth comment. I believe that you need to write more on this issue, it may not be a taboo
    subject but generally people do not speak about such issues.
    To the next! Kind regards!!

  20. Very good blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm a little lost on everything.

    Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many choices out there that I'm totally confused .. Any recommendations? Thanks!
