I find it increasingly convenient to make now that I'm studying for finals and have to time to worry about cooking, so it's perfect for students. </div><div><br /></div><div><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/lmc_photography/foodblog/IMG_3622fbr.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></div><div><br /></div><b>Ingredients</b><br /><br />Rice<br />1 small onion, finely chopped<br />1 medium tomato, cubed<br />2-3 tbs vegetable oil<br />5 cups miso soup (2tbs paste, 5cups water)<br />7 oz tofu, cubed<br />1 teaspoon of red pepper<br />Pinch of dill<br />1 teaspoon of sesame seeds<br /><br /><br /><b>Directions<br /></b><br />Boil the rice in a pot. The amount you make will vary on how much you like to put in the soup. I use about a cup per bowl. Also, you can make the rice each time you eat in smaller amounts, or just make it all at once and reheat it.<br /><br />1. In a non-stick pot, sautee the onion with the vegetable oil.<div><br /></div><div>2.When the onion is translucent, add the cubed tomato. Cook on medium heat until the tomato is soft.<br /><br />3. Add the miso base, red pepper, and cubed tofu and bring to a rolling boil.<br /><br />4. To serve, put about a cup of rice in a bowl and add enough soup to cover. Top with some dill and sesame seeds.</div><div><br /></div><div>Store the remaining soup in the fridge.<br /><br /></div>veganbloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00528545229126086095noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7687147027637588554.post-27821932842366638872009-12-08T23:42:00.005-05:002009-12-24T08:53:36.283-05:00Chewy Holiday Cookies<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/lmc_photography/foodblog/IMG_3505vb.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

It was my first attempt at making doughnuts, and they turned out pretty well.</div><br /><b>Ingredients</b><br />1 cup soymilk<br />1/3 cup warm water<br />3 tablespoons of Earth Balance or other vegan margarine (melted)<br />3/4 cup sugar<br />4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour<br />1 teaspoon salt<br />1 tablespoon dry yeast<br />3/4 cup any flavor fruit jam<br />Enough vegetable oil to cover doughnuts while frying<br /><br /><b>Directions</b><br />1. Mix the warm water and yeast and let it dissolve.<br />2. In a large pan, mix the sugar, flour, and salt.<br />3. In another pan, mix the soymilk, melted margarine, and the yeast and water mixture. Add this to the dry ingredients. Knead the dough.<br />4. On a floured surface, spread the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick.<br />5. Using a cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough. You should have about 40-50 minutes, depending on the size of the cookie cutter and the thickness of the dough.<br />6. Add about half a teaspoon of jelly on one circle of dough, and cover with another circle. Press the edges very well, so the jelly doesn't come out while frying. I found that putting a little water in the edges help them stick better.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, -webkit-fantasy;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:-webkit-xxx-large;"><br /></span></span><div><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/lmc_photography/foodblog/qn69sy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />7. Let your uncooked doughnuts rest for about 30-40 minutes so the dough can rise.<div>8. Heat the oil in a fryer or a deep, not-stick frying pan, to 375 degrees. Place the doughnuts in the oil, frying one side at the time. It should take about 2 minutes per slide. Flip them over when they are floating to the top and browned.</div><div><a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee293/lmc_photography/foodblog/ae9o9z.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br />9.
