腰果浓汤素面

开春的时候 2位皈依佛门的好友驱车40多公里带我到多伦多的一家寺院餐厅品尝素面，我知道她们是希望田厨娘能为素食者多出一些食谱，这也是我有心向往要做的事情。。。。。

对这碗素面开始的时候，并没有很高的期待，也是因为对现在素食的见识不足。可事实上这家餐厅的素面让我十分惊叹，对于习惯吃荤的人来说居然没有觉得那是素食味道非常的饱满丰富，久久回味，此间的蔬菜和柠檬汁就如同荤面解腻必须的搭配，一样有完美的口感对比浓郁之外还给你清爽的超脱感。

这让我想到多伦多是一个文化非常多元城市，这里各路美食既保留了自身的特殊又有相互的融合，那天这家寺院餐厅见到的素面就是这样一个呈现。它运用了西式素食注重营养的特点加了坚果（我选腰果）还有印度素食元素中的不可缺的孜然和东南亚风味的柠檬汁，最绝妙的是花生酱和辣油的使用一扫素食的寡淡无需传统的浓酱赤油，而在配料中斋肉的存在有了传统味道的满足。

总之田园厨娘对这碗素面肃然起敬回来后细心琢磨，终于做出令人满意的味道，希望你们和樵夫一样吃到忘了优雅。

腰果 50克（Cashew 50 g）

水740ml（Water 740ml）

花生酱 2汤匙{Peanut butter(creamy) 2 tbsp}

盐 1/2茶匙(Salt 1/2 tsp)

糖1茶匙(Sugar 1 tsp)

酱油 1汤匙(Soy sauce 1 tbsp)

孜然粒 1/2茶匙 (Cumin seed 1/2 tsp)

辣椒油 1茶匙(Chili oil 1 tsp)

面条 140克(Noodles 140 g)

豆芽(Bean sprouts)

卤味（斋）(Vegetarian meat)

青柠檬汁(Lime juice)

1、首先准备腰果喝水，---把它们一起放入果汁机 ---打成浆。

2、然后把浆倒入汤锅再加入一些水，用大火烧开然后转中偏小火煮10分钟。

3、煮好后开始加调味料首先是花生酱我用的是creamy的这种。它对汤的味道很重要，所以我会多放一些，接着就是屏幕显示的其他调味料。这些调味料味道要放足面才会好吃。

4、再烧开之后，面汤底料就煮好了分成2碗备用。

5、同时我们已经把面条煮好了，建议用细的面条，把面条放入汤里再放上煮熟的豆芽或其他蔬菜。

6、其他的topping 我用的是素食店买来的卤过的素肉，你可以选择任意你喜欢的素肉。

7、这里建议再放一些辣椒酱或辣椒油味道会更好，最后记得挤一些青柠檬汁，就完美了。

Spring in Toronto is refreshing and relaxing, just like this dish my mom will share with you today.

First soak cashews in some water, pour everything into a blender, pulse until it turns into cashew milk

Pour the cashew milk into a pot and add a bit more water, boil on high heat and then turn down to medium low and cook for 10 minutes

Once it's all cooked, start adding in the seasoning. First peanut butter is the secret to the creamy taste. it's very important to the flavour of the soup, then add in the rest of the seasonings shown. Make sure you season heavily for the best result

Once it's boiled again, the soup of ready, she made enough for two portions here

While that was cooking, she have also prepared the noodles. she suggests using thinner noodles

she likes to top it off with some cooked bean sprouts or other vegetables would work too

she also bought some soy based vegetarian meat from the store, there's a variety you can choose from depending on your own prefernece

now to finish it off, she highly recommends adding a little bit of chilli oil or hot sauce for the ultimate flavours, squeeze on a bit of lime and it's complete!
