Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Delish! Added fresh peas, baked tofu and sautéed shiitake mushrooms. Almostttttt too salty from soy sauce but it ended up being good

    Really liked this. Full of flavor and came together quickly. Topped with grilled shrimp. Kiddo called it a “definitely make again” recipe.

    I love TAWL in many different ways. One of those is that most of her recipes are not only flavour/umami packed, they come together in minutes. This noodle, green beans and sesame dish is absolutely delightful.

    This made a tasty and quick lunch. I added some pan-fried tofu to pad it out a little. I don't have a pestle and mortar so my sesame seeds weren't crushed; I didn't find it to be a problem.
