I loved our Lunar New Year dinner at Shaanxi Garden in Mesa.

The handmade biang biang noodles were huge and extra chewy. I ordered the noodles with lamb soup. The broth perked up when I added chili sauce. My husband ordered dipping noodles with a fantastic vinegar sauce.

My kid enjoyed juicy xiao long bao and pork and shrimp shumai.

NOM!

Vegan Cacio e Pepe

#kvpkitchen My attempt at Alexa Weibel’s Vegan Cacio e Pepe, which was shared by NY Times Cooking. I used Barilla wheat linguini and Cold Mountain mellow white miso.

I am amazed by how much umami you can pack into a paste of miso and cashew butter. I didn’t have nutritional yeast. So I used Parmela Creamery shredded nut cheese. It tasted fine. But I missed that Parmesan bite from the “noosh.”
