Half a head of green cabbage and half a green bell pepper that had been in the back of the fridge for a while were the inspiration for this meal. It turned out pretty good, but not spectacular so I won't bother with a recipe. The short story goes like this: I fried some tofu in peanut oil until golden brown (adding some soy sauce and maple syrup in the last minute or so). Then I set that aside and stir-fried the cabbage, bell pepper and a sliced carrot. Some garlic and ginger went in there, along with some chopped scallions, then the tofu went back in along with the sauce (soy sauce, veg. broth, sesame oil, maple syrup, orange zest and cornstarch). We were low on brown rice so we had it over quinoa.

You know what's great about this post? It's so realistic! I have a lot of nights where I just throw some stuff from the fridge together - and it's basically good, and I enjoy it - and that's the end of that! :) I love that you guys share these meals, just like you share the big fancy brunches and such. Also, how cool is it that even a thrown-together dinner looks so tasty and nutricious and beautiful!
thanks friends!,

Thank you sooo much Amey! Our point here is to share the good, the bad and the mediocre and to demonstrate that eating vegan doesn't have to be about spending hours in the kitchen cooking elaborate meals (though sometimes that's fun).
