This has been my lunch for the last few days. Vegan Dad’s Thai Fried Rice and the Smoky Miso Tofu from Vegan Yum Yum. The fried rice goes together really easily and is not very spicy, despite the curry paste and sweet chili sauce that is part of the recipe. I still had some mushrooms left from making the Hippie Loaf, so I decided to dump those in as well. I also dropped the green onions, since I have not been able to find them pre chopped in the store lately. The coconut and cashews add a really nice touch to the rice and also help to cut any spiciness.
On top is some of the Smokey Miso Tofu from Vegan Yum Yum made with the Hickory Nufu Tofu and some chickpea miso. As you can see it worked really well in this recipe, but if you should make it, I do suggest that you use a brush to apply the marinade to the tofu. I tried this using a spoon and the marinade pooled around the tofu on the sheet pan. That excess marinade burned in the oven, and stuck to the pan to the Silpat. So make sure you keep the marinade on the tofu, if you make this.
I’m going to Disney on Wednesday to see some family that has come down for the week. I hope to report that one can eat at Disney and be vegan and soy free, but what I have seen so far is not promising. However, I will tell you how I am able to cope; when I have to do so. See you later in the week.
Mmm that looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteHey, Snugglebunny! My brother used to work at Disney, and I asked about vegan dining options in the parks. He didn't know of any place that was a sure thing, but he said that if you call guest services at Disney, they might be able to guide you towards some acceptable food. You might end up having to eat at one of the full-service restaurants instead of a fast-food place. Failing that, he said that if you have a dietary restriction that they can't cover, you can bring food into any of the parks with no problem.
ReplyDeleteGood luck, though. And that smoky Nufu looks great. Just wish that I could crack the peanut tofu code - I'm rocking three failures so far.
Kate, I will be with Brother and family, so my options will be limited. Bringing in food is also not an option, since I don't want to have the vegeterian talk with them, if it can be helped. The good news is that by using Digest from Enzymedica, I can eat soy protein as an option; just not to often.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have had at least that many failures as well on the peanut tofu. You don't suppose that Sunergia would share their secret? However, my guess is that either the coagulent to peanut milk ratio is not correct or the peanut milk is not at the correct temperature.
