I again wanted to try making a healthy cilantro-lime stir fry. This time, I decided to try to use a "cream" sauce idea. But, I also wanted it to be dairy free. I came across a vegan alfredo recipe and decided to use that. I am copying it to the blog, but I really just used it for the general idea. Below is what I did:

• 4 cloves of garlic
• 1 tsp canola oil
• 150 gram cauliflower
• 3/4 cup almond milk
• 1 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1.5 tsp osem
• black pepper
• 1 lime (juice +rind)
• 1 bunch cilantro (came to 68 grams when chopped)
• 1 tbsp corn starch

As per the recipe, I sautéd the garlic and then added everything up to and including the lime. After it had cooked enough, I immersion blended it. I then let it cool and added the cilantro and corn starch and again immersion blended it. ( I didn't want the cilantro to lose flavoring the heat)

The rest of the veggies was mostly broccoli and a few red peppers. Instead of rice, I used soba noodles (2.5 pp/oz and about5.8 oz).

Overall it was strange. I think this Alfredo sauce was better than the last time I made a fake white sauce (with white beans). But it was still strange. And, a bit too sweet (I only had original almond milk). And, the cilantro flavor still didn't come through. I think my next avenue with this is some cilantro-lime salad dressings and try to use them with the stir-fry.
