Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

[shyvas]

Leek & cauliflower soup plus a sprinkle of yeast flakes and evo (from the freezer) served with a toasted ciabatta sandwich (AF) made with Flora, Dijon mustard, a slice of La Vie pink protein and a large slice of Applewood. It's not my favourite kind of diner but I wasn't in the mood to cook.

Soya yogurt with sweetener plus a huge dollop of mango puree.

 

[alleycat]

Fried rice with lots of vegies and tofu.

We are having two frozen vegan pizzas and splitting them in half and probably adding pineapple.

Has anyone ever tried frying silken tofu? I don't know why I haven't tried it before, but I saw a recipe on YouTube and decided to try it for dinner last night.

I decided not to use their sauce. Instead, I made a sauce using a mix of gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, maple syrup and fresh minced ginger and garlic. I used some spring onions too. I lightly fry the white bottoms with the sauce and garnish the finished dish with the green tops.

I was pleasantly surprised by the silken tofu. It was amazingly delicious, with quite a pleasing texture. While not as easy as regular tofu to work with, I would definitely make this again, nonetheless.

It splatters a lot in the oil when frying. I had some sticking issues as well, but overall, it was awesome. I can post the video if anyone is interested in trying it.

I tried that once, but honestly didn't give it much attention. Did you bread/flour?
When my kids were little I used to saute slabs of firm tofu in butter, then sprinkle with either cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar

Have you made vegan halloumi? I tried this recipe, and frying it right away wasn't good, leaving it in fridge overnight fried nice custardy slabs. Pretty bland, not sure how I'd tweak the seasoning. I don't know Halloumi . Vegan Halloumi

Have you made vegan halloumi?

I didn't use any flour or breading for the tofu. I just salted it and let it sit for 15 minutes for the water to leech out. It did help a bit, but frying is a little tricky, due to the excessive splatter.

I have not tried halloumi or even heard of it before. The recipe looks intriguing though.

I made a version of this recipe

Seriously need to try it as written. I've never had harissa, I used tomato paste and a lot of spices and garlic, and pinto beans

Friday night I added a can of chick peas to a premade Chana Masala pre-made package, did a Bombay potato package in the microwave, made quick couscous instead of rice and scooped it all up with w/w pita.

Last night we had two cereal bowls of the 2 bean chili we made with blue corn tortilla chips, a bit of cheez on top - so good and with lots left over for the freezer (unless we eat some of it tonight).

I added a tofu scramble to our brunch yesterday so we were not very hungry for dinner - cut up 2 zucchini and 1/2 a cucumber and half a bell pepper into sticks, added some cherry tomatoes and olives and had hummus with sriracha on top to dip it all in, oh, and a few potato chips too and for dessert a date, a brazil nut and 4 almonds.

Made chili with the rest of the pinto beans. Added red lentils and TJ's soy chorizo. I swear they changed the spices in Soy Chorizo --I taste cumin now It's good though
