Tofu Chow Fun

Tofu Chow Fun

We both thought this was pretty good. I couldn’t find wide rice noodles (not even at the Asian market) so I used these broken up rice sheets labeled as “rice sticks”. If I make again I’d probably just roast the tofu instead of pan fry.

Fishless Tacos

I tossed hearts of palm in a little oil along with crushed seaweed (snacks), cumin, garlic and onion powders. I then heated/browned them in the skillet.
Served on a flour tortilla and topped with a Vegenaise and Valentina sauce mix and chopped lettuce and onion.
Baked tortilla chips and potato/carrot queso on the side.
