Swimming Rama

Tonight I am making a delicious Thai dish, Swimming Rama, also known as Swimming Angel and a host of other names. It is simply quickly cooked thinly sliced lean chicken or pork, dressed in a coconut based peanut sauce served over wilted spinach and either rice or rice noodles. I made this dish as an ‘Experiment’ post nearly three years ago so this one is overdue for a real recipe. I am going with chicken breast and rice noodles for a simple, yet elegant meal perfect for this Sunday evening. Give it a try, you won’t regret the effort it requires!   Save Print Swimming Rama Prep time:  20 mins Cook time:  20 mins Total time:  40 mins Serves: 1 &nbsp…

Miso Curried Cod with Spinach

Are you ready for a flavor-bomb of a meal?  This recipe comes from the NYT and is simply amazing. I adapted it based on comments and personal preferences and I think you will really enjoy the results.  This dish works well with salmon or any firm-fleshed fish and it also works well with rice or rice noodles. I have even substituted bok choy (as some of the commenters mentioned) for the spinach. Easy to prepare and amazingly flavorful, this dish is great for a weeknight meal. Give your taste buds a warning though as this dish will give them a wonderful jolt!

Well, the gang at Serious Eats seem to think so, so who am I to question it? The truth is, this dish is super simple and really delicious! The sausage creates the base flavor, the spinach adds its supporting flavors, and all of it is bound to the pasta with a little cream and a heap of Romano cheese. While this dish may not make the weight loss cookbooks, it makes mine for being a simple, delicious one pot pasta that satisfies the need for a quick meal.  So if you are seeking a way to enjoy spinach and pasta, give this…
