Garden vegan pad thai

Dear Eggplant readers,

Eggplant Elaine has just moved! The house remodeling project has been crazily long and stressful, as we didn't hire an interior designer and thought we could do it ourselves, ended up may be a big mistake.  We have been through so much difficulty during the process, well...finally it's almost done. One thing I enjoy the most ever since I moved into the house is Gardening! I love it so much; I often feel lost in time when I am in my garden, being close to nature always makes me happy. 

Serving: 1 

Toppings: 

Random homegrown veggies, minced herbs and edible flowers, gomasio

Sauce: 

2 tbs tahini

1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger 

1 tbs sesame oil/walnut oil/ flax seed oil 

1 tsp of maple syrup or date syrup
