Spring Roll Noodle Bowls
Virtually no cooking is required for this super-fast, super-fresh, paleo recipe. Spring Roll Noodle Bowls are what’s for dinner tonight!
Guys, it’s hot here right now.
I’m talking the over 90 degrees every day kind of hot.
Honestly I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to heat.
Maybe that’s why I live in Portland?
Actually, most people assume that it rains year-round here in the Pacific Northwest, but the truth is our summer’s are just about perfect, and it rarely rains between July and October.
But let’s just keep that a little secret between the two of us, okay?
When July and August roll around the temperature often cranks up into the 80’s and 90’s.
We’re lucky enough to have air conditioning in our house, a luxury many of our fellow Portlanders don’t share.
Even though we have AC, though, doesn’t mean I want to turn on the oven when it’s sweltering out.
In the hottest months of summer I just want simple, fresh and cool. Ya feel me?
That’s where super-simple, super-fresh recipes like this one come in.
Plus, if you use pre-cooked shrimp and quick boil noodles there’s basically no cooking required. Score!
This recipe also uses glass sweet potato noodles, a fairly new-to-me ingredient.
They cook up very similarly to glass noodles, and are completely gluten- and grain-free.
Look for them in the Asian section of your grocery store. If you can’t find them I’ve also included a link to order them online as well.
The freshness in this recipe can’t be beat, with giant handfuls of basil and cilantro adding all kinds of goodness.
If you don’t like cilantro, though, substitute fresh mint or parsley.
I hope you’ll try this one soon. Now, let’s make some Spring Roll Noodle Bowls!
