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

[GingerFoxx]

Currently, our plans for next week's dinners are an Instant Pot version of Aloo Gobi, and this roasted vegetable soup I made a few times, years ago: The Insane Roasted Eggplant Soup | Active Vegetarian

The soup was tasty as I remembered. The aloo gobi was a disaster. The instant pot kept giving a burn warning during the second phase of pressure cooking (which happened to a lot of the other folks who commented on the recipe we used). As a result, I had to add water and restart the pressure cooking phase twice. By the time it finished, the result was way overcooked, on top of being too spicy for my liking. I ate about 2 or 3 small bites before giving the rest to my boyfriend to finish. Hoping to find some way to salvage the leftovers...

I almost went with her version, but went with a different one at the last minute. Alas.... maybe next time.

So last night I ended up having popcorn for dinner because I got busy with a work project. Tonight, I hope to make American Chop Suey with seitan.

I like this dish and make it quite often. I didn't realise that it was called Chop Suey.

with spread/Marmite.

Yay! Unghshu has made up his mind finally, and now i'm eating amaranth again! Plus chopped raw kapusta with shredded raw carrots and red kidney beans.
Couldn't help adding georgian-stule kapusta and yuba.
Kiwis, mandarins and leftovers of Azeri pears for dessert.

That is not what I think of when I think chop suey. @PTree15 describes it on another thread I guess. I honestly think of canned LaChoy veggies, more bean sprouts, cooked cabbage and a brown corn starch based sauce. I over rice or chow mein noodles

I made cabbage, onions in Instant Pot, and soy curls onions and red pepper -soy curls doused with Lamb seasoning from Penzeys, cumin spearmint, other stuff, their Revelotion, which is like a seasoned salt and crushed pepper, and together added some soy yogurt that I strained and added mint and tzaziki. Quite tasty!

@silva, it's elbow macaroni with ground seitan, onions, garlic and a tomato-based sauce. I throw in Italian seasoning, onion powder and chili or taco sauce. My mom always called it American chop suey when we were growing up (it had ground beef in it). She sometimes put chopped green pepper in it as well.

@silva Chop Suey is what you describe. AMERICAN chop suey is the casserole @PTree15 described. I think some folks call it "goulash". American Chop Suey might be the New England term for it.

Lentil & vegetable soup.
Kiwis.

Yep- that's my goulash
I used to buy those LaChoy (swing, American!) two tiered cans that had the vegetables in the bottom and a meat and sauce in the upper one and just heat and eat. That sounds so gross now--and too crazy salty even for me!
I now want to make that with more fresh veggies, mushrooms and sprouts.
Or an to- foo yong. Last time I tried I messed it up--anyone have a good recipe? Maybe mix chickpea flour with the tofu

That was a staple for us growing up.

I loved that! I liked egg foo young too and while I remember making it really good with tofu one time, my other attempts all fell apart. I'm thinking mixing chickpea flour and black salt and blending with the tofu, then mixing in drained canned veggies? Why not try and incorporate the veggies in a tofu quiche? I can make tofu quiche!

Anyway, tonight is spicy peanut stew
