Today I went to the health food store and splurged on a yummy, raw vegan comfort food favorite of mine:

This looks fascinating! I must order some and find out about their taste and texture! Thank you for sharing! If they taste like I think they might, I bet they would be good on top of a veggie burger, sitting on top of garlic potato & cauliflower pancakes, with some mushroom gravy poured over the top...

I'm suddenly very hungry.

Ohhhh, good ideas! They have some heat to them too, which I like. Also, they come with a lot of extra powder in the container which can be saved and used as a tasty seasoning for anything.

I made an experimental recipe that came out good!

I started with stir-frying:
reduced sodium soy sauce, green swiss chard leaves, cilantro, garlic, ginger, onions, red chili pepper flakes, and kimchi.

Then I made Hungry Girl brand tofu shiritaku "macaroni" and then added it to the stir-fry, along with lime juice, and hot sauce. I left it on for another minute while I mixed it and then took it off the heat.

It was hotter than hell but perfectly so, and I will definitely make it again. Delish!

This sounds great! What kind of hot sauce do you use for this sort of dish?

New twist on a standard snack.

I ran into a friend today who, every time she sees me, feeds me something. Today she was walking around with a bag of bananas she had just finished drying.

Not like chips though, these she just cut in half and then half again lengthwise, and put them in the dryer overnight. They were terrific! Not crunchy at all if that is what you are looking for, more chewy and incredibly sweet, like a candy type treat. I have a huge sweet tooth and these were just right. They were soft but not sticky to handle, maybe 1/2-2/3 dry and held their shape.

I will add my own thing that I like to do to dry fruit and load it up with cinnamon. Yes, there are 14 bananas on my counter now.

I ran into 'woman who feeds me' again at the beach. She and I often talk about healthy eating and this morning was no different. She told me about something she makes for her husband for breakfast as an alternative to oatmeal when he is going to the gym and wants something light.

It's kind of soymilk pudding. She heats up 2 Qts Soy milk and adds about a tsp of agar disolved in hot water, simmers for a minute or two and then cools about 2 hours or overnight. They like it with cinnamon on it. I asked a couple of questions about variations and of course she insisted I stop by and have one on my way home, their house is across from the beach. I found out she had made it with vanilla soy milk, it was quite mild and very good, not too sweet, she said some folks make it with honey or sugar added. I think it would also be good as a desert with a little sliced fruit. Sample below;



It is green because she puts 'a leaf' in it while cooking that is fragrant. This is where it gets tricky, they are Vietnamese and while they have been here 30 years, some things don't translate or have not needed to be yet. I will update if I can get a useable name. It isn't needed but would be fun to know.

Only the beginning. We had gone out for lunch a couple of weeks ago and I said that the miso soup was good and she wanted to make sure I knew the good things to get for it. Sooo, I show up today and she has a packet of the seaweed she uses in it for me;



And gave me about a pound of the paste she uses from her fridge, brand and package TBD. I broke it up into small containers for the freezer, a good supply. I am thinking it will be a switch for breakfast as the weather gets warmer and I want something lighter.

But wait! There's more! We also had something I had never had before; a soursap fruit. It was fabulous! Kind of a cross between papaya/pineapple/pear. Of course, I must take another with me to go. They naturally come all spiny, so this had been trimmed.



This is the same person who showed me the other way to dry bananas I posted about yesterday. Yep, got to take some more home with me today AND she had just gotten a package from a friend in Vietnam who had a bumper crop of the little short plantains and dried them whole to send to her, just smashed flat and dried. They are great too, and I have some of those for home also.



Regular bananas on the right, short plantains on the left.

Stopping off for a quick post-walk soy pudding turned into a whole bag of goodies to go. She is a sweetheart, I like hanging out with her, and not just for the food.
