FOOD PORN! from 1,000 Vegan Recipes

You just can't get enough, can you? C'mon, admit it: you LIKE it when I do three posts in one day with food porn. (And if you ask nicely, you just might get that third post.)

This is another recipe I cooked from 1,000 Vegan Recipes, which I mentioned in a post earlier this month, when I made seitan with chipotle sauce.

This time around, I had some broccoli I need to use, so I considered the broccoli heavy options, and went with Chinese noodles with spicy black bean sauce, on page 239. I largely follow the recipe, though I used angel hair pasta instead of Chinese noodles (I didn't want to pay $4 a box for the noodles at Whole Paycheck, and I had a ton of angel hair sitting around.) I also added tofu, which was a very good call.

Stock shot of stock tofu, just beginning to fry.

Frying the broccoli stem first, since it needs a little more time than the florets.

Did somebody say broccoli florets?

The broccoli canoodling with the tofu. Hey, give them a little privacy, would ya?

Frying up some ONIONS! Who doesn't love onions? Not any reasonable person I can think of!

The onions get a bunch of fresh grated ginger.

Then you add a mix of soy sauce, spicy black bean sauce, chili paste, and cornstarch dissolved in water.

And you reduce it down a bit.

With the broccoli and noodles added.

Overall, it was very good, though I would ratchet up the heat next time.
