600 Calories Or Less
All of these delicious recipes come in at 600 calories or less per serving, ideal for those who choose to monitor their caloric intake, without sacrificing flavor. The US Food & Drug Administration recommends a 2000 calorie daily intake for the general population. The 600 calorie cap equates to 30% of total 2000 calories per day based on 3 meals per day with 200 calories remaining for snack or beverage.
Carb Conscious
Our Carb Conscious recipes provide a balanced approach to carbohydrate consumption by replacing refined carbohydrates from sources like white flour, rice, and cane sugar with high-fiber foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. 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.
Mediterranean Diet
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.
Diabetes Friendly
Our diabetes friendly offering allows you to enjoy wholesome options while adhering to the guidelines set forth by the nutrition experts at our partner at the American Diabetes Association. A recipe with this badge features non-starchy, fibrous vegetables with a limit on calories, total carbohydrates, saturated fat, added sugar and sodium. For those chefs following ADA guidelines, it is recommended that no additional salt be added to this recipe when prepared and for chefs to skip all salting steps of a recipe. See nutrition information on your current page or at blueapron.com for sodium “as packaged”.

The clear cellophane noodles (also known as bean threads or glass noodles) in this dish are naturally gluten free because they’re made of mung bean starch. They only turn clear when cooked and maintain a smooth, chewy texture that we love. A big bunch of yu choy, a type of Chinese broccoli with thinner stems, and robust Chinese barbecue-style sauce add tons of flavor to the blank slate of mild noodles.

step-by-step
instructions
1
Prepare your ingredients:
Heat a medium pot of water to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel and slice the garlic. Slice the scallions. Roughly chop the yu choy. Drain the tofu and pat it dry with paper towels. Slice it into thin planks, and let them stand on more paper towels to dry as much as possible. Finely chop the peanuts.
2
Cook the noodles:
When the water comes to a boil, remove the pot from the heat and add the noodles. Let the noodles stand in the hot water for 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Drain and rinse them under cold water.
3
Dress the noodles:
Transfer the noodles to a medium bowl. Add the scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, and the juice of the whole lime to the noodles and toss until combined.
4
Brown the tofu:
In a large pan, heat some oil on high until hot. Add the tofu planks and cook 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until browned. Transfer the tofu to a paper-towellined plate. While the tofu cooks, make the sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the black bean sauce, hoisin sauce, five-spice powder, and mirin until combined.
5
Stir-fry the yu choy:
Add the garlic and half the peanuts back to the hot pan used for the tofu, and cook 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the yu choy and about 1 tablespoon of water and cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring until wilted.
6
Finish the stir-fry & enjoy:
Add the noodles and ¼ cup of water. Cook 1 minute longer, stirring until noodles are heated through and everything is combined. Remove from the heat. Divide the tofu slices and the noodles with the yu choy between 2 plates. Drizzle the sauce over the noodles and tofu, then sprinkle the remaining peanuts over the whole plate. Enjoy!
