In reply to dee. I saw this and just wanted to weigh in :) My mom is korean (just for information's sake) and she tried that alternative. It tasted great, but there was something missing about the noddley-ness of the traditional sweet potato noodle. Tasty, though!

In reply to Becky. Becky - the pancetta is already a great source of protein, but you can also add in small cubed roasted sweet potatoes, that would pair well with the nuttiness of the almonds and warmth of the mushrooms.

How would I sub out the lentils being on Paleo, so what fiber outs and protein-packed item could I use instead? Thanks.

Hi, could you do a riff Jap-chae (Korean sweet potato starch) with actual sweet potato?

In reply to Barb | Creative Culinary. Barb, thanks so much for the sweet note! I'm glad you can relate... it's just not worth it to put out "meh" and "OK" recipes and I want to make sure I can be proud of everything! Just checked out YOUR blog and it looks like you totally get it! Everything looks shout-on-the-rooftops amazing! Thanks for the comment.

I always say, ‘Everything is better with bacon’ and you’ve proved it once again! I recently made a very ‘meh’ dish and know exactly how you felt. It was not something I could fix so it sufficed but then I wanted something better; something worth sharing with my readers. The next dish was it; the difference was like saying, ‘Well, it’s OK’ or shouting from the rooftops, ‘This is SO fantastic and you MUST make it.’ Glad you did just that!
