This was not my original entry to plant power challenge week 13 but I noticed other people beat me to the punch. That's ok. Great minds think alike. I had to move on and do something else.
There are six choices of which I chose cabbage and T.V.P. which is texture soy protein. I happened to have had some T.V.P. in the pantry and I had cabbage in the fridge.
I made a vegan mince meat from T.V.P.
Spicy vegan minced meat
2 cups T.V.P., 1 cup shitake mushrooms, 1 onion diced, 3 cloves garlic minced, 1 teaspoon ginger minced, and 1 hot pepper.
The approximate amount of the sauce ingredients, were 1/4 soy sauce or tamari, 3 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon sweet soy sauce, 3 tablespoons vegan oyster sauce, and 2 tablespoons mushroom sauce.
Sautee the onions, shitake garlic, ginger and hot pepper, than add T.V.P. then add 2 cups of vegetable broth and soy sauce mixture cooking until the moisture evaporated.
Put the mixture aside.
Cook the cabbage and vegetables in 3 cloves minced garlic, and 2 minced shallots.
I added green beans that were thinly julienned.
I added a few roasted red peppers and pre steamed broccoli.
The udon noodles were cooked separately before the other ingredients were added together.
I added the minced faux meat first after cooking the noodles with the sauce mixture. Then I added the other ingredients of which were pre cooked.
I have a good supply of sesame seeds so I added to anything that would be appropriate.
I must say that I don't recall using udon noodles before but I really like them so it's a new thing for me.
Have a good night/day folks!
