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.

Two pizzas! both incredible!

Pizza 1: homemade spelt crust, a softer version of Crock Cheez (sharp cheddar style spread) from The Ultimate Uncheese Cookbook, walnuts, the Seared Portabello Mushrooms and Simple Swiss Chard recipes from Eat, Drink and be Vegan.


Pizza 2: homemade white flour crust (I was feeling wild and crazy), sliced tomatoes, sliced roasted red pepper from a jar, sliced black olives, Soy Curls (re-hydrated in a bacon-style marinade: water, tamari, liquid hickory smoke), Follow Your Heart soycheese.

PS- Me and my guy are all ready for the Vegetarian Food Fair in Toronto on the first weekend in Sept! We're all booked for transportation and lodging. Anyone else going?

Soy Curls!

First Soy Curls meal: warm chikn sandwich! I used the gravy recipe in The Everyday Vegan by Dreena Burton, but I used tamari instead of vinegar (why is there vinegar in gravy?). SO GOOD.

First Soy Curls meal: gyros! I used the gyros (Greek meat-on-a-pita) recipe in Vegan Express. Also good!

Verdict: they are pretty much the same as TVP chunks, but in a more fun shape.. I won't be ordering them again but I'd buy them all the time if it was sold in stores here.
