So I just finished writing a whole post about my sedated “woo-wee” grocery shopping mishaps and then Live writer decided to shut down and erase it.
THEREFORE… I will give you the brief version. Not the same, but still good enough, eh?
Summary:
Finally got out for some fresh air back at home in Austin… YEA!
Allergies beat poking and piercing any day. I’d rather be snotty and sneezing outside than in a bed gown. LOL!
Stay with me, changing subjects and back tracking. Still going with my SUMMARY.
So, still half way sedated (aka “woo-wee”) on Tuesday , the hubs dropped me off at the store to pick up some recovery food. I was craving slurpy slobbery noodles.
I usually go for miso paste and brown rice noodles with broth. Instead, my half way there mind grabbed MEXI cheddar. Hmmm, MEXI cheddar is not quite the same as MISO paste.
Didn’t realize this till I got home and started making the noodles.
Uhhhh… what the? What is this orange MISO? NO SILLY LINDSAY, it’s MEXI Cheddar. You can’t make miso paste with mexi cheddar.
But you can still spoon it as an appetizer with some crackers. Um yes, delicious. It’s like spicy pudding by the spoonful. LOL! 
Moving on, so where’s the MISO?
Crap, I gotta make my own. Or rather, I will “Cotterize” a recipe.
Uh, well, I am half way sedated and “woo-wee” so we will see how this turns out.
Verdict?
Ooooey Gooooey CRAZY HEAD DELICIOUSNESS!
Pea noodle Soup
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 2-3 1x
- Diet: Gluten Free
Ingredients
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- sesame oil
- rice vinegar
- balsamic glaze or thick dressing
- 1 tsp chopped garlic.
- 1 package brown rice Asian noodles
- 1 cup cooked shrimp
- 1 ½ cup steamed peas
- ¼ cup chopped green onion
Instructions
- Boil your noodles, drain, rinse and set back in pan. Make sure you have a bit of oil or broth so that they don’t get too sticky.
- Cotterized Miso Paste:
- combine your nutritional yeast, garlic, ½ tablespoon to 1 tablespoon of each : rice vinegar, sesame oil, and balsamic glaze. Blend until smooth. Add black pepper and sea salt if desired.
- Now combine your paste with your noodles. Mix well. Then add a bit of broth, your steamed shrimp, peas, onion and place on low heat. Cover to keep moisture in and wait about 10 minutes, or until everything hot and mixed well.
- Spoon up your noodle/shrimp mix into bowl and add broth on top. I also like to add red chili peppers or siriachi sauce.
- ENJOY!

Have you had any “woo-wee” mishaps or recipes? Oh do tell!
I’m off to go sharpen my SHERPA SKILLS. We’re off to New Orleans for NOLA this weekend. ROAD TRIP is our middle name these days.
Cheers,
LC
Ahh haha that is so funny about the mexi cheddar. But all in all the noodllie soup looks good!
Have so much fun this weekend, I look forward to all your instagrams!
noodles anyway are good in my book too! happy friday!
That looks SO good! At least you have an excuse as to why you grabbed the wrong thing – lately I’ve been doing that and wondering what the heck is wrong with me!! LOL
Tell James GOOD LUCK this weekend! I’m sure he’s glad to have you back as his sherpa!!! Enjoy the road trip and the weekend! xoxo
youre preggers. your brain cells are being made to create a baby. you have an excuse. haha
I am just so impressed you can do ANYTHING when feeling “woo-wee!” I would be in bed and demanding someone to feed me. 😉
Glad you are able to head outside, allergies or no. Enjoy your time in New Orleans and good luck to the hubs!
🙂
i did that too. But i thought i could venture out to the store for some fresh air, guess i was wrong. ha.
Hmm… not really “woo-wee” recipe moments, but definitely “wee-wow” ones…
As in the wee-one is wow-fully dictating what this soul eats, when food is eaten, and how.
Lessons learned: early morning food must be handled sl-ow-ly (forget trying to get food in before classes… just eat in class!), onions are NO, only DARK chocolate is preferred, and carrots- man alive I could eat them non stop. I think lemons are appreciated, too. Apple candy sticks are a-okay, too (so was learned at the Cracker Barrel the other night.. 🙂
It’s a wow-time, and trying to listen and figure it out is a good time.. when not totally “wow-wee” sometimes 🙂 Still… I’ll take it… the wee one is a great one! 🙂
i like wow wee. and wow time! both are crucial. 😛
“crazy head delicious” — love that!
Hope you are feeling better…still praying for answers soon!
Safe travels and good luck 🙂
Hugs!
thanks friend. HAPPY friday! miss you.
Oh, Lindsay, thanks for all the laughs in this post. 😀 Your “woo-wee” moments sound so similar to mine; except the difference is that I have no sedation excuse! More than half the time I try to make a specific recipe, I grab the wrong item at the store…or forget it all together! But that’s how new, awesome dishes are created, no? 😉
I’m intrigued by this dairy free Mexi Cheese! Did you find it at Whole Foods? Is it Cinco de Mayo worthy? xoxo
YES YOU WOULD LOVE IT!! totally a sarah product. got it a natural grocers, so maybe it is a whole foods too??
Hope all your testing went well…after I had mine done last year I couldn’t look at jello for a really really long time! You miso mishap seems like it turned out pretty darn good though! Don’t you love it when things just work out like that?
is it weird that i kinda like jello now? just not the green kind! haha, how are you feeling?
Yeah pretty good!!! Guts still play up when I’m stressed, but much better than before. I think I owe it to cutting out gluten and dairy! How are you recovering?
pretty good, just keeping things bland till the old stomach heals. Yea for smoothies and no stress!
I try to save my posts ever 3 seconds to avoid this exact same scenario…you are taking it much better than I would have!
Enjoy your trip!
i’m still annoyed. too bad i didn’t have any wine to cure. haha.
You’re going to NOLA this weekend?! Eat a beignet and a poboy for me! We love going down there!
oh i need to find the GF versions! But i will get them anyway and feed them to the hubs. heck, maybe i can find a GF beignet!
Wowee, this looks so delicious!
There’s nothing better than slurping down a BIG bowl of saucy noodles. And I adore peas-they add little pops of sweetness.
I actually have all these ingredients(hurrah),so I wil be making this soon:).
Hope you are recovering and doing well Lindsay:)!
Xxx
Oh yes! I am a pea lover too. Let me know if you try it. And thank you. I am feeling well!
Oh, hate when computers let us down. It happened to me this morning, wrote a really long email to a friend, who is going through some rough time atm.. and when I clicked on ‘sent’, it got deleted.. GRRR!! 🙂
I am known for ‘kitchen fun’.. put salt into friend’s coffee a few days ago (sugar / salt – same thing eh?) – could tell it was a mistake straight away.. But maybe, just maybe, I am trying to get him off sugar??? (Evil laughter..)
Oh that it is tricky. Haha. Salty coffee doesn’t sound to bad though. I am weird.
I’ve never shopped half sedated but I’ve done shopping super cracked and I feel like the endings of those two shopping trips end up relatively the same!!! 😉
as soon as I have money to travel to races, can James race NOLA again so you and I (James can come too…hahaha) can have a NOLA party!?! 😉 you know I’ll be sending some serious cheering down to y’all!
Please make that happen, and soon! Miss you.
that sounds delicious! what a great recovery meal for you……. that mexi cheese looks delish too 🙂
You would love it! With Avo!
I like your style! I’ve seen lots of good recipes with miso but it’s not normally gluten-free over here and as I’ve never tasted it, I wouldn’t have a clue how to recreate it so thank you for this 🙂
Sorry to hear you’ve been struggling with allergies and hope you feel better soon!
Ohhh yea! Let me know if you make it Elle and how it turns out. Is it ok I call you Elle? Haha
Love this! Sounds and looks divine!
Hate it when I lose posts. I usually give up.
Found a few things out. Still waiting on biopsy labs though. xoxo
Ah, worst thing when you blog post gets deleted. This looks like such an awesome recipe! Definitely getting bookmarked! I don’t have asian noodles, but do have kelp noodles? Hm…don’t know if that would be weird! Feel better soon my dear! Good luck to the hubs.
Love kelp noodles! Those would definitely work!
Great job improvising! Sometimes the best stuff comes from having made a mistake!
Agreed. I almost used peanut flour. Think that would have worked? Or even pumpkin seed meal.
Awwww it looks ssoooooo good and I need me to get some of these noodles 🙂 YUM! I used to make a lot more asian style dishes before, but I must get back into it!
xxoo
Ohhh but your recent recipes have been stellar! You’re on a roll lady!
mexi cheese?! that sounds yummy but it’s not real cheese so what’s in it? i bet it would give me gas 🙁
I know, i thought it would too! but it’s actually soy free and gluten free. Just GF oats, pimentos, oil, and spices. BEUNO!
hahaha…oops! thats definitely something i would do too…
but now im kinda craving mexi-cheddar dip. for breakfast? meh. probably not.
i ate it for breakfast, guilty. On GF toast with tomato. Kinda want to try it with grits! hehe.
I have had the mexi-cheddar before, I liked it!!
Yay for a road trip, how fun! I have never been to NOLA! Have a blast! <3
oh i knew you would. You’re such a diva with new products. hehe. COME TO NOLA with US!
You are so resourceful! LOL! Good luck sherpa’ing! I channelled your sherpa-ing virtually for M yesterday as he prepped for his big presentation!!! 🙂
I AM SO FREAKIN PROUD and i know YOU ARE PROUD of M! What a great team and might i say you make a very smart sexy sherpa. <3
Wooo this recipe looks fantastic! Now I need to go find some of those noodles 😀
do you have a sprouts or natural grocers? thats where they are. SO SO GOOD!
How in the heck do you do that? Half dazed and confused, you make a feast that’s actually amazing! Dang I’m impressed! That looks amazing. I hope you’re feeling well today!
i think being half dazed actually helped. haha, or i just have weird taste buds. Both are true!
The closest I have right now is that we prepped dinner on Tuesday night and then found our oven won’t light. So we have a fully-prepped dinner sitting in the fridge (still) and no way to cook it! 🙂 I guess you should “test” the oven before prepping. 🙂
haha, you need a mini oven. cook everything one by one.
Oh man, that is the WORST when you have a post all written and then it gets deleted or the computer shuts down. That happened to me the other day. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading this post like always!! To funny about the mexi cheddar! That noodle bowl looks delicious.
What did they sedate you with? Last year when I had to go for some tests and was sedated.. it was awful. I was so messed up, I seriously felt drunk for 3 days. It was worse than when I had my two surgeries to remove my thyroid.
i don’t even remember what they gave me. But i did wake up in the middle of the procedure so they had to give me more. EEK!
Wow this looks really delicious! I love the mexi cheddar and I think it is perfect for bread.. Yummy!
You are suuuuch a riot!! I would’ve loved to have seen “woo wee” Cotter!! I’m glad you’re feeling better though – good luck Sherpa-ing in NOLA!!! xoxo
oh it was TOO FUNNY! I would have laughed at myself if i were other people. haha
LOL – love this – love that you figured out a way to make it work! I would never have though of the nutritional yeast. Smart thinking lady. I thought you were going to put together some sort of mexi-cheese-noodle dish.
actually, i did. the next day. I used leftover noodles. It was darn tasty too. So not a bad purchase. YOU WOULD LOVE IT!
miso makes me so happy … sorry, i couldn’t help it! 🙂 love the looks of this and i’ve recently become quite infatuated with nutritional yeast. of course i would love that fart-y goodness! 🙂
hehe, love that phrase. You gotta try this farty goodness. <3
get well soon! I love you post! (really) hopefully I can do this things too and cook your recipe.
hahaha oh you crack me up wooooo weeeee.
I’d eat your “miso” any night… it actually sounds awesome.
Viper had a mega “woo-wee” – he put his passport through the wash (in his pants pocket) that was a $300 “woo-wee” (!)
eek! i think james has done that too. I really think we need to live by each other. Viper and James are so alike and well, we get along just dandy too. hehe. I thought of you when making this. Such a LOU recipe but i bet you would add some fun twist.
Hope you’re feeling better Lindz! I’ve been trying curry paste lately and really (think) I like the flavor lol
oh we LOVE curry paste. So good with a little butter on rice. Tried that yet?
A “cotterized” recipe nice. And glad you adapt so well in the kitchen!
ha, me too. I wonder how this recipe would have originally turned out. LOL!
Oh seriously, ever since my car accident a month ago, I feel like I am missing half my brain some days!
oh good, i am not alone. Maybe half our brains are being put to good use somehwhere. hehe.
you are all over the map these days- love the adventurous attitude though! Hoping you’re feeling better as each day passes, and that’s just hilarious that you mistook that for miso. Although I’ve never had miso or even seen what it looks like so I wouldn’t put something like that past me!
i think you might like using miso or creating your own. you crafty like that. And as for me, yes ALL OVER THE MAP describes it perfectly.
I love those noodles, mostly becuase they are called MyFun (which is how I pronounce it in my head, whether it is right or not.)
Shrimp and peas….I bet the mexi cheddar would taste great on that too.
you mean it’s no pronounced MYFUN? haha. Yes, you better believer i tried some mexi on this dish the next day. I think it was even better then!
Looks like a great recipe, so extra props for creating it when sedated!
Have fun in NO and good luck to the hubby.
that was the fun part, looopy! haha.
This. Looks. Delicious. What an awesome recipe idea! Also, that STINKS about your blog post getting deleted! That is seriously SO frustrating. Luckily, you’re a freakin’ superstar. 😉
haha, or just really frustrated and quick to type. hehe.
UMM YUM!!!!!! Girl this looks phenomenal. 🙂 Now to find some Asian noodles….
Sprouts or Natural grocers!
