Monay
If you’ve been frequenting my blog, you’re aware about my amorous connection with noodles. Although I’ve been consuming rice quite a lot since I got here in Mindanao, noodles and pasta will always be on top of the list for my carbohydrates. Followed by bread, then rice. Haha. But hey, change is the only constant in this world, so I might sing a different song some day. LOL.
And noodles and pasta (long) both symbolize longevity. It is considered a celebratory ingredient, especially in Asian countries. So, what best way to celebrate another year on earth, ei?
For the Love of Mushrooms
Mushrooms are considered a full protein source. So if you’re intending to switch to a #vegan diet, or give veganism a go, stock up on this power-packed humble ingredient. Most mushroom varieties fall under the yin (cooling) category in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is essential in clearing heat in the body. Aside from its awe-mazing health benefits, mushrooms in general symbolize longevity, immortality, prosperity, good luck, strong relationships, and resilience. It also symbolizes regeneration and transformation, based on its appearance after rain, representing rebirth and renewal.
I am no mushroom meister by any means; however, years in the kitchen backed by research, it is a no-brainer as to why I fell in love with this fungi! My first mushroom exposure was button mushrooms. Later on, I got to know oyster, wood ear, straw, portobello, king oyster, enoki, shimeji, shiitake, and lion’s mane. Eventually, shiitake became a staple in my pantry.
Oh, how I love thee. LOL.
Life is But a Cycle
Although I’ve been preferring noodles over pasta and using shiitake a whole lot in my recipes as of late, I could not help but pay homage to my early 20s love affair with pasta and straw mushrooms. Life is but a cycle after all. So, I decided to use long pasta and this specific mushroom variety for this recipe. Another #quickandeasy to prepare #vegan pasta dish to add to your pasta recipe collection. Because who does not need another ‘go-to’ pasta recipe, ei?
