Experimenting with Tofu

I squeezed the water out of 85g of tofu and put it in tupperware with fake chicken stock. Then I sauteed a minced clove of garlic and half a yellow onion in a 1/2 tsp of oil, threw in chopped white mushrooms and half a zucchini, and finally dumped in the tofu and the broth. I added 44g. of quinoa, and let the whole thing cook together until the water was mostly absorbed. At one point I sprinkled in some thyme and pepper, and towards the end I added some baby bok choy. 

It was a little on the mushy side - the zucchini had definitely way overcooked. I would add it later next time, and maybe measure the water and aim for a little less. Aside from that, it tasted really good. 

Beany Vegetabley Thing

Here's what I did...

1 tsp canola oil in a pan
1 clove of minced garlic
2 green onions
Some cauliflower
Half each yellow and orange peppers
3/4 c. black beans
... sizzle...
Dried basil, oregano.. salt, pepper
1/4 water
1/5 pkg frozen spinach, microwaved
... Lid...
2 tbsp tomato sauce
... Cook...

It was really good!

Soupy lentils and stuff

Here's what it is:

1/4 c. quinoa
50 g. green lentils
half a fake chicken bouillon cube
One big green onion stalk, chopped
about a cup of chopped cauliflower
1/4 package frozen chopped spinach
Enough water to cover it all

Pretty good, but I'd throw the lentils in first next time, about 5-10 mins, and it needed more flavour. Does that mean the whole bouillon cube or salt or herbs? I suppose we'll see.

Peppers on Quinoa

We got a working toaster oven today - I don't know why that made it suddenly feel easy to cook peppers when I could have been doing them in the regular oven all this time, but it did.

I tossed half each of an orange, red, and yellow pepper in 2 tsp of oil, sprinkled with salt, and put them in at 450 degrees.

The quinoa was done like pasta, with a half cube of fake chicken broth, spinach, and green onions.

I don't know what to call these. Things in a pan?

Is it a stir-fry? It doesn't feel like it... It look like 'salads' I see elsewhere, but it's hot... I don't know.
