Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

[Emma JC]

mostly unhealthy meal of the century.... that's what we had last night - A&W now has Beyond Meat Chicken Nuggets and as I do like to be supportive of them carrying a plant-based option I decided to pick some up for dinner - of course, I also picked up onion rings and fries too.... the nuggets themselves were good and if I was traveling and had no other options I would buy them again - it was the combo of all the deep fried fast foods that is so so awful and I am happy to have it done and over with and it won't happen again for a loooonnnngggg time

I haven't been to an A&W in ages! And I didn't even know Beyond had chicken nuggets! I'll have to check whether the one I pass on my way to Rhode Island has them. I would try them for sure.

Re: the fried foods. I get like that sometimes, but then when I grease out too much, I remember why I don't do it very often, haha!

This brand isn't as tasty as Violife cheese. It's a French brand and they are on so at my local hypermarket. I'm off to stock up some more Violife as it's also on so atm.

I'm ordering take out from my favorite Thai restaurant! They have the only vegan pad Thai I like-and I love it! So much flavor I can't match
They also make crazy noodles, which I guess are like drunken noodles? but that's something I think I figure out myself.

Steamed courgettes & potatoes (from the local farm) with spread and Cornish sea salt.

I tried Field Roast Buffalo Wings. While the chick'n nuggets were pretty good, the sauce was not good IMHO. Way too spicy for me and I didn't care for the flavor. I just used a BBQ sauce I had instead.

chili with tortilla chips and a bit of ice cream and cherries for dessert

Okay, this was last night's menu, but it was sure tasty. I made the best tofu stir-fry ever. I sliced the tofu into little rectangles, which make it easier to fry crispy on both sides. I also used a pre-pressed extra firm tofu, which seemed much better. The end result was a really nice texture on the tofu, which then absorbed all the flavours of the stir-fry a lot better. The fried tofu was so tasty I was munching it before it hit the stir-fry.

I just used a potato starch coating for that crispy texture, but I did make sure to season the coating well, so the tofu was flavorful all by itself, which is why I kept eating it before it hit the stir-fry. lol

Anyhow, it was an Asian inspired stir-fry with bell peppers, red onion, and Chinese eggplant. The sauce was very simple, with some regular soy, dark soy, maple syrup, a tiny bit of toasted sesame oil, a bit rice vinegar and some sriracha for heat. I also put a little 5-spice in the stir-fry.

**EDIT: A wee edit...I used a substantial amount of fresh garlic and ginger. I couldn't leave that out
