CONFESSION: I am hugely skeptical about tofu that claims to be something else. Unless it’s made by Quorn. Then it’s cool.
That said, it’s not a surprise I’m not terribly impressed with Smart Strips Chick’n Strips. They simply tried to make them too much like chicken, which is awesome in its own way, I guess, but I kind of wanted a tofu product. However, I will continue to sing the praises of one of my favorite things, the House Tofu Cutlet.
This stir fry is loaded up with onion, sugar snap peas, orange pepper, yellow squash, bamboo shoots, oyster mushrooms and pea shoots, one of my new favorite vegetable finds thanks dinner with some Chinese friends who knew just what to order in Chinatown.
For the sauce I just used the leftover JES Korean BBQ Sauce from last week’s Boolgogi and served it over brown rice.
All my cakes come from boxes. My spaghetti sauce isn't from scratch, and I think making my own pasta and bread (unless it comes from a mix…) is rarely worth the effort. I believe individually frozen chicken breasts and ready-made pie crusts are among the best inventions ever. Through these menus, recipes, tips and recommendations, I hope to show that the options for creative cooking are limitless, even when time and money are not.
