Our Carb Conscious recipes have 42g or less of net carbohydrates (total carbohydrates minus dietary fiber) per serving, a 25% reduction in net carbs compared to the average Blue Apron recipe served in 2019. Due to the natural variation in size of and contribution of produce in our recipes, some recipes can be badged as Carb Conscious at 45g or less net carbs per serving.

Our Mediterranean recipes are inspired by the Mediterranean Diet, a healthy eating plan recommended in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans published jointly every five years by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS). This eating plan highlights the flavors and cooking styles from countries along the Mediterranean Sea, including those in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. These recipes showcase a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, as well as lean proteins and moderate portions of dairy.
Plant-Forward
Our Plant-Forward recipes are designed by our chefs to help support a flexible diet that emphasizes plant-based foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and other legumes like lentils and soy foods, and includes occasional, moderate portions of meat, poultry, fish, and seafood.

From the Test Kitchen

For crisp, contrasting texture, you’ll lightly fry tender ramen noodles to achieve a delightfully crunchy exterior, then finish them with just a touch of soy sauce. They’re the perfect base for a vibrant duo of sautéed cabbage and sweet peppers and a luscious soft-boiled egg.

Cook Along Triangle Created with Sketch.
Cook the eggs:
1 Cook the eggs:

Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, carefully add the eggs to the pot and cook 7 minutes for soft-boiled, or until your desired degree of doneness. Leaving the pot of water boiling, using a slotted spoon or tongs, carefully transfer the eggs to a strainer. Rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, carefully peel the cooked eggs. Season with salt and pepper. 

Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:
2 Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce:

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; thinly slice the leaves. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then thinly slice lengthwise. Combine in a bowl. Roughly chop the noodles. In a bowl, combine the sesame oil, black bean sauce, and vinegar.

Cook the vegetables:
3 Cook the vegetables:

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat the sautéed aromatics on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced cabbage and peppers; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until combined. Transfer to a bowl. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

Cook the noodles:
4 Cook the noodles:

Meanwhile, add the noodles to the same pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain and rinse under warm water 30 seconds to 1 minute to prevent sticking. Set aside to drain at least 2 minutes to remove any excess water.

Finish the noodles & serve your dish:
5 Finish the noodles & serve your dish:

In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the drained noodles (carefully, as the oil may splatter) and spread into an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 4 to 5 minutes, or until crispy. Turn off the heat. Add the soy sauce; stir and scrape up any browned noodles until thoroughly coated (some noodles may stick to the pan). Serve the finished noodles topped with the cooked vegetables and seasoned eggs. Enjoy!
