vegan post: chinese-style fried tofu with garlic ginger sauce

I made this “chinese-style” dinner last night wishing for something like a hot garlic sauce dish but not wanting to go out. I looked for a few recipes online to get some idea, and then I just set out on my own. In the end it was pretty tasty, but it could definitely use some tweeking.

Ingredients:

A package of tofu

Cornstarch to batter to the tofu

Some good veggies: we used half an onion, a green pepper, 3 scallions, a crown of brocolli

For the sauce:

1-2 cups vegetable stock or water (we used a cup a stock and then thought it was yucky and used water)

3-4 tbsp soy sauce

2 tbsp cornstarch for thickening

3 tbsp sugar

1 metric ton garlic

1 metric ton ginger

~ 1 tbsp sriracha hot sauce Read the rest of this entry »

Vegan Post: Strawberry Shake

This is a very simple recipe for an amazing vegan strawberry milkshake. This is the best vegan beverage ever and probably one of the best beverages period. Jesse has made this with regular milk before, and it’s not nearly as good as the vegan version. Here’s the recipe.

Ingredients:

1 cup plain silk soy milk

3-5 frozen strawberries

2 T sugar

Shove all the contents in a blender and blend. You’re done. Drink your delicious beverage. Make as many servings as can fit in your blender. Note that the exact number of strawberries depends upon the size and quality of your strawberries. You will have to experiment a little.
