Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 cups plain soy milk

1 stick cinnamon

1 star anise

2 whole cloves

pinch allspice

1 1-inch square of orange peel -- pith removed

1/3 cup unsalted dry-roasted peanuts

1 1/2 cups water

1 tablespoon cocoa powder -- preferably Dutch

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 medium onion -- diced

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine soy milk, cinnamon stick,

water, rinsing down the sides of the blender. Blend on high for another 2

minutes. Strain into a 1-quart measuring cup or bowl. Add steeped soy milk,

straining out spices.

In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion and celery in oil

until onion becomes translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and tomato and

continue cooking until tomato has softened, about 3 minutes.

Transfer vegetable mixture and 3/4 of the roasted pepper to the blender.

Blend on high until smooth and creamy, adding a little of the soy milk mixture

if necessary.

Combine puree and remaining soy milk mixture in the saucepan. Heating

over a medium-low flame, stir in ginger juice, cayenne, lime juice, salt, and

pepper. Garnish each serving with remaining bell pepper chunks and chopped

peanuts, if desired.

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Beans/Legumes Main Dishes

Vegetables

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups water

1 tablespoon instant vegetable stock powder

1 stalk lemon grass

outer leaves removed

lower part only chopped into 2-inch

1 pieces (discard grassy top)

1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste

quartered and chopped

1 3/4 cups cooked red kidney beans

OR 1 5-oz. can red kidney beans

4 SERVINGS VEGAN

 

Fortunately, many Southeast Asian ingredients formerly considered exotic

are now regularly stocked on supermarket shelves. You'll need Thai curry

paste and a stalk of lemon grass to get the great taste that this quick

recipe delivers. If your supermarket doesn't carry them, try an Asian

market. It's worth the effort to have these ingredients on hand. Serve

this memorable stew on its own or over jasmine or basmati rice.

 

In large saucepan, combine water, stock powder, lemon grass and curry

paste. Bring to a boil. Add sweet potatoes, cover and cook over medium

heat for 7 minutes. Stir in beans and salt to taste. Cover and cook until

sweet potatoes are tender, about 3 minutes more. Add a bit more water if

mixture becomes too dry. Remove pieces of lemon grass before serving.

Thai-Style Soup with Tofu Dumplings

 

Recipe By :adapted from Vegetarian Compass by Karen Hubert Allison

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:40

Categories : Asian Soups & Stews

Tofu

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

* TOFU AND MARINADE *

10 ounces Tofu Mori-nu lite firm

1/2 cup sake -- or sherry

1/4 cup low sodium tamari soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

* SOUP *

6 cups low sodium vegetable broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce or vegetarian oyster sauce -- or to taste

1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

OR flat leaf parsley

8 ounces cellophane noodles -- rehydrated

OR substitute other lowfat thin pasta

* DUMPLINGS *

1 teaspoon flour

1 egg white

OR 2-Tbs liquid egg substitute

1/3 cup finely chopped green onions

both white and green parts

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh garlic

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

red pepper flakes -- optional

 

Glass noodles, rice sticks, mung bean noodles, or angel hair pasta may be

used in this soup. Fish sauce is discussed below. Garlic and ginger are

added to the marinade, the broth and the dumplings. Serve the soup as a

first course or with a salad for a light meal. Time: 30 minutes Marinade;

10 mins prep. Equip: Food processor or blender.

 

1. Drain tofu and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Marinate the tofu slices in a

single layer in the sake, soy, 1/2 teaspoon each minced garlic and ginger

for 30 minutes.

 

2. Prepare the noodles as directed on the package.

 

3. Bring vegetable broth to a simmer. Add 1 teaspoon each chopped ginger

and garlic. Add fish sauce and cilantro.

 

4. Put tofu in a food procesor with the flour, egg white, scallions and 1/2

teaspoon each chopped ginger and garlic. Process quickly. Remove and roll

into 1-inch balls. Poach the dumplings gently for 1 minutes in the

simmering broth, until they expand and float to the top. Add the noodles

and red pepper flakes. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve.

 

It's easy to think of ways to vary this basic idea. Use the dumplings in a

vegetable stew as you might Brunswick stew. You could add vegetables, vary

the broth, the herbs and the spices.

 

VEGETABLE SOUP WITH TOFU DUMPLINGS: Omit noodles. Add finely shredded

vegetables such as carrot, zucchini, green bean. Simmer in the broth 1 to 2

minutes. Remove. Bring broth to a simmer and cook dumplings. Combine and serve.

 

TORTILLA SOUP WITH TOFU DUMPLINGS: Substitute a bottled mole sauce or

minced onion for the ginger. Marinate tofu in tangy or hot V-8 juice

cocktail with garlic and chipotle barbecue sauce. For the broth, use

bouillon instead of the fish sauce. Add corn, black beans, and diced red

pepper to the soup. Top with tortilla strips. Serve.

 

The fish sauce (nam pla) is salty and slightly sweet. It adds another layer

of flavor to the broth. You could leave it out or substitute a vegetable

juice: carrot or V-8 or a vegetarian " oyster " sauce. Other options are also

salty: add a small amount and adjust to taste: miso paste, soup-base

concentrate (Minor's or Better than Bouillon are two brands), Braggs amino.

The result may need honey or other sweetener.
