Ⓥ Vegan Kitchen: Teriyaki TSP Ⓥ

I just recently really discovered textured soy protein (TSP) and the wonders it can do in the kitchen. It's not the healthiest soy option so I don't use it often, however it is versatile, especially if you're transitioning into veganism or just want some meat alternatives. TSP is versatile because, like tofu, it's unflavoured but it will take on whatever flavour you'd like it to depending what spices you use and how you cook it. 

This one was inspired by watching my mom make it at my sister's once, but since I didn't write down any recipe I just sort of winged it. Turned out delish! 

Makes a great side to any meal and even better over a stir fry!

Teriyaki TSP

1 cup Textured Soy Protein

2 cups Water (+)

2 Tbsp Rice Vinegar

1 Tbsp Apple Vinegar

2 Tbsp Agave

2 Tbsp Tamari

1 Tbsp Paprika

3 tsp Chili Powder

1/2 tsp Turmeric 

1 tsp Salt

In a large sauce pan or wok, add all of your ingredients, gradually adding the water 1 cup at a time and sauté for about 20 minutes. TSP starts off rather dry so you need to cook it long enough for it to absorb all the moisture and flavours. Add more or less water to get your desired thickness for your sauce. 

Serve over noodles and veggies or add other veggies in at the end to make a yummy stirfry! Enjoy!

Ⓥ Vegan Kitchen: Curry Almond Broccoli Stir Fry! Ⓥ

A new recipe I tried and played with recently that is super easy, quick to make, and absolutely splendid! :)

Curry Almond Broccoli Stir Fry:

Stir Fry Sauce:

1 tbsp Rice Vinegar

2 tbsp Tamari (or soy sauce)

1 tbsp sesame or other oil

2 tsp ground Ginger

1-2 tbsp Olive Oil

1/4 cup Almonds, chopped

1 tbsp Green Curry Paste*

2 cups Broccoli

Other veggies of your choice (I like this recipe with chopped Zucchini and Asparagus) 

*depending on what curry paste you are using may depend on how much you want to add. The one I use is super strong so I usually use under a tbsp. Adjust it to your desired liking. 

In a bowl, combine the rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, and ginger. 

In a wok or saucepan, toast the almonds in the heated oil on medium-high heat. Stir frequently for one to two minutes, or until lightly browned. Add curry paste to taste and stir. Add the broccoli and veggies and stir fry for a couple minutes until the veggies are tender. Toss in the stir sauce for a minute and then serve! 

Goes great over Quinoa or Brown Rice.
