Easy Black-Bean Stir-Fry

This was a super quick and simple dinner. The noodles are these cool 100% millet noodles that I found in a Chinese grocery store. They were great, and they are slightly yellow in colour so they kind of look like egg noodles.

The stir-fry is Soy Curls, carrot, celery, ginger, and black bean-garlic sauce from a jar.

Orange Seitan

I've been making a batch of homemade seitan every week lately. Yum!! Its a nice change from tofu. For this dinner I sliced it thin and fried it a bit in a pan with a bit of oil, and then I poured the orange glaze sauce from Eat Drink and Be Vegan over it until it ..glazed. So good. Here's a similar recipe for the sauce if you don't have that (awesome) cookbook: on vegweb.

In other food news, a big package of Soy Curls arrived at my house today! I can't wait to try them. I bought them from a great vegan store based in Quebec City called VivaGranola.

Cold Peanut Sauce, Cucumber and Rice Noodles

An easy Saturday lunch. I actually found brown-rice rice noodles! So cool. The sauce is just peanut butter, soy sauce (or tamari), mirin, sesame oil and garlic powder stirred up in a cup. Easy! Also, it wasn't actually cold, just room-temperature.

Also, how great is the Compassionate Cooks podcast? So great.
