The food here is authentic Vietnamese with a modern accent. My favorite thing about Slanted door besides the amazing food is its location in the ferry building with views of the Bay bridge and gorgeous bay, perfect date night in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>One of my favorite dishes is this salad, though it\u2019s not on their menu all the time. This recipe is a Vietnamese classic, I love the addition of 5 spiced tofu or chicken if you prefer some protein, other options are egg rolls or an aromatic lemongrass chicken. To lower the carbs I halved the amount of rice noodles and doubled the bean sprouts. Its perfectly delicious with regular amounts of rice noodles if you choose to have a full meal.<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C92FAAA6-D97F-4A87-B616-1A07E67A8E00.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5108 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C92FAAA6-D97F-4A87-B616-1A07E67A8E00.jpeg?resize=300%2C452\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C92FAAA6-D97F-4A87-B616-1A07E67A8E00.jpeg?resize=680%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C92FAAA6-D97F-4A87-B616-1A07E67A8E00.jpeg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C92FAAA6-D97F-4A87-B616-1A07E67A8E00.jpeg?resize=768%2C1156&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C92FAAA6-D97F-4A87-B616-1A07E67A8E00.jpeg?w=1664&amp;ssl=1 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/907C80C9-DCEE-4ED9-882D-C0189738B8D0.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5111\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/907C80C9-DCEE-4ED9-882D-C0189738B8D0-680x1024.jpeg?resize=300%2C452\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"452\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/86F06415-3246-4512-AF43-9DF5487526C1.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5113 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/86F06415-3246-4512-AF43-9DF5487526C1-678x1024.jpeg?resize=300%2C453\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"453\"><\/a>&nbsp; &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C83EB56D-8731-4F1E-8423-BE19FD661451-e1534123676445.jpeg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-5109\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C83EB56D-8731-4F1E-8423-BE19FD661451-e1534123676445-680x1024.jpeg?resize=300%2C452\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C83EB56D-8731-4F1E-8423-BE19FD661451-e1534123676445.jpeg?resize=680%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 680w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C83EB56D-8731-4F1E-8423-BE19FD661451-e1534123676445.jpeg?resize=199%2C300&amp;ssl=1 199w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C83EB56D-8731-4F1E-8423-BE19FD661451-e1534123676445.jpeg?resize=768%2C1156&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.nourishdeliciously.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/C83EB56D-8731-4F1E-8423-BE19FD661451-e1534123676445.jpeg?w=1664&amp;ssl=1 1664w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Heres the recipe.<\/p>\n<p>makes about 4 servings as a main course.<\/p>\n<h4>For the salad<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>1 bag organic bean sprouts<\/li>\n<li>8 oz uncooked rice noodles about 200gms, cooked as per package instructions and cooled<\/li>\n<li>2 cups shredded carrots<\/li>\n<li>2-3 Persian cucumbers, sliced<\/li>\n<li>5-6 mixed organic baby mixed greens<\/li>\n<li>Handful of mixed herbs; cilantro, Thai basil, mint<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup roasted peanuts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>For 5-Spiced protein<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<div>2 tablespoons light soy sauce or fish sauce<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>&nbsp;3-4 cloves garlic minced<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon any neutral oil<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>&nbsp;\u00be cup minced shallots<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>&nbsp;1 to 2 Thai chiles, stemmed and minced<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>&nbsp;1-14 oz block firm organic tofu or (1 \u00bd-2 lbs organic boneless skinless chicken breast, depending on appetite of diners )<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div>1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>In a large bowl, whisk together the fish sauce, oil, soy sauce, garlic, shallots, chiles, and five-spice powder.
