BBQ Soy Curl Sandwich
I finally got around to making BBQ Soy Curls after drooling over
KatieJayne's at the PPK. These are really good, and I'd make them all the time if I wasn't so hooked on bbq seitan. Knowing me, I'll usually make it with seitan and sub curls every once in a while. I really like soy curls but think they're better as a short than as a full length feature.
On the side is a last minute broccoli salad, loosely based on the old omni standby. It goes kind of
like this-
Steam broccoli lightly then run it under cold water. Add whatever other vegetables you want (I used onions, celery, carrots, cucumbers), some fancier stuff to make it interesting (grapes and toasted pine nuts) in a mayo/apple vinegar slaw style dressing. So easy and so customizable.
I looked at this Sweet Chili Lime Tofu recipe when it was first posted and for some reason, I thought I needed mirin to make it. I was out. Apparently you don't, but I put off making it because I was having a tourette's reading moment and kept inserting mirin into that recipe. When I finally READ it and made it...wow! This is so good and will be a regular. It fits my 'asian and spicy' needs and Jim's 'just not a stir fry' attitude really well. The recipe is from
Vegan Yum Yum. I used chard for the greens, rice for the quinoa (with no extra seasoning) but threw some thai basil into the mix. I have a hard time following a recipe word-for-word, unless it's for testing, of course!
By the way, I just bought a small bottle of mirin- for over $5! It's not like I was buying gas or something. Geez.
How about another Teese Pizza? This one was
pretty much perfect: onions, mushrooms, peppers, black olives and some gimme lean sausage. Here you see it, in all it's glory. I cracked my last tube and am going to have to place another mega order. If you haven't tried
Teese Cheese, what are you waiting for?
