Simple tomato dishes

As I mentioned for this month’s “Eat around the World” challenge it will be mostly home cook meals from me. A lot of the recipes are simple and friendly for the busy person. Basically it takes less than 30 minutes to make a meal. Here’s what I’ve made incorporating tomatoes so far:

Greek Salad

Inspired from an Instagram post from No Crumbs Left. For me I used chopped tomatoes, baby bell peppers, pickled red onions (made by me), feta, and cucumbers. Drizzle it with olive oil and a little bit of salt and pepper.

Hiyashi Chūka (Cold Ramen Noodles)

I learned about Hiyashi Chūka from the About to Eat YouTube channel. From the episode I learned that if you don’t have ramen noodles on hand, you can cook spaghetti noodles in a boiling pot of water with some baking soda. I’ve been playing with this hack all summer.

I enjoy making Hiyashi Chuka because I get use vegetables from my fridge, some deli meat, and sesame oil — it’s already an instant meal. Great for hot evenings.

Anyways stay tuned for more to come!

“Eat around the World“ is a monthly writing/photography challenge where I invite people to share a dish around a theme, ingredient, or technique. The theme for August is tomatoes.  All themes are open to interpretation.
