Basil thai noodles with bison and zucchini + spicy quick pickled cucumber

Bison (or Buffalo) is a sustainable alternative to beef, as bison don’t graze nearly as intensely as cattle and, since they are native to North America, are adapted to the American climate and natural food sources. This means less land and energy needed for shelter/heating and we don’t need to spend gallons of water growing their food. <br /> <br />Aside from the ecological bonuses of eating bison rather than beef, the health benefits of bison meat include lower saturated fat, more omega 3s, more protein, and fewer calories. Another plus, it’s illegal to administer growth hormones to bison in the U.S and antibiotics are rarely needed since they’ve evolved to survive in North America. <br /> <br />So choose bison next time a recipe calls for beef! Bison’s flavor is similar to, if not better than, beef and it’s becoming more and more readily available. <br />Before you start working on the noodles, do the Spicy Quick Pickled Cucumber. It takes five minutes to prepare and it’ll be perfect within 30 minutes, just when you’ve finished your colorful bowl of noodles. <br />This answer to take out is a fun way to enjoy ground bison, but feel free to substitute the meat with tempeh for vegetarians. <br />https://thecleangourmet.com/2016/09/14/basil-thai-noodles-with-bison-and-zucchini-spicy-quick-pickled-cucumber/
