Fantastic Dinner!

Posted on by Sare

Holy Macaroni, Batman!  Last night, I cooked a fantastic dinner for the House of Awesome.  Here’s what the menu consisted of:

  • Miso Soup
  • Tofu Tempura & Broccoli Tempura
  • Summer Rolls with Garlic Ginger Sauce

Sarey’s Miso Soup

You know, I have a set just like this. In storage.

serves 15, easily

  • 2 1/2 gallons of water
  • 5 or more cloves of garlic, pressed
  • 3-4 T fresh ginger, diced
  • 1/4 c or more crumbled seaweed
  • 1 1/2-2 1/2 lbs extra firm tofu, diced in tiny cubes (1 cm square)
  • 1 T salt
  • 2 t black pepper
  • 1 t crushed red pepper

Boil all of this for about a half hour.  (It can hang out longer, if you’re doing other things.)  Turn down heat to keep warm, but lower than a simmer.  Then add a generous cup of miso and stir-stir-stir, and serve!

So good. So amazing. So yummy. So many compliments. So many raw vegetables it’s crazy!

Multi-Grain (Vegan) Bread

Posted on by Sare

Ingredients

  • 2 t dry yeast (or one packet of dry active yeast) + 1/4 c luke warm water
  • 1 c rolled oats + 2 c (rice) milk, scalded
  • 2 t salt + 1/4 c oil + 1/4 c brown sugar + 2 T honey
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten (using appropriate amount of vegan egg replacer)
  • 1/2 c wheat germ, or other interesting flour
  • 1 c soy flour, or other interesting flour
  • 2 c whole wheat flour
  • 3-3 1/2 c all-purpose flour

Directions

  1. Combine yeast & warm water, let sit for 15 minutes.
  2. Scald milk, pour over oats. When cooled to 85F, continue on.
  3. Stir in salt, oil, sugar, honey
  4. Stir in rest of ingredients
  5. Knead for 15 minutes
  6. 1st rise: 2-2.5 hours
  7. Separate into 4 pieces.  Twist two together, put in pan for 2nd rise (1 hr).  Repeat.
  8. 375F for 45-50 minutes
This makes two decent sized loaves, so for a 48 hour life expectancy of the bread, I’ll be making a double recipe to foster Co-op Love.  Also, this will insure that the Sabres win tonight, as the last time I listened to the game on the radio as I baked bread for the house, they did in fact win.  I’m sure this has deep and profound significance.  (The last game when we lost?  I wasn’t baking bread.  I was watching in High Definition at my sisters house, trying not to covet.  And failing.)
