I was just saying that I felt really unimaginative in the kitchen lately so I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I started craving some ethnic foods and I knew that I wanted the bulgogi that the girl made. I, also, wanted to compliment it with a fried rice but I knew that the fried rice contains egg. Lucky for me, I purchased a package of the Vegg a few weeks ago but I have been a little intimidated to use it. After contacting the Vegg for measurement break downs I decided that I was going to make Vegan Chicken Bulgogi, Fried Rice and Vegan Sushi for dinner.
I started out by prepping all of my rice and veggies for the sushi and my rice for the fried rice. I cut up my veggies for the rice and set aside. In this rice I used peas, bean sprouts, ginger root, green onions and the Vegg! Just 1 teaspoon of the Vegg mixed with 1/4 cup water yields about 3 -4 egg yolks. Folks, this stuff is amazing!
However, the fried rice, is AMAZING! I used all of the Vegg mixture that I prepared after I sauteed the veggies and rice. I used brown rice for this recipe and stir fried it in a sesame oil. Once this was added, it was a matter of stirring and adding spices.
I plated the Bulgogi on a bed of lettuce with Mushrooms, carrots, sugar snap peas with a few pieces of sushi and fried rice.
There was a ton leftover, even though the roommate and I pigged out. So, my manager was supposed to be coming into town to finally meet me and I figured I'd be nice and bring her a care package... (we always talk about the sushi). In her care package I put 2 vegan sushi rolls, a bed of lettuce and bulgogi and vegan fried rice wrapped in a romaine leaf. Unfortunately, she was not able to make it down today so she will not be able to indulge. However, I sent her a picture and she stated that it looked like it could be from a high end restaurant. That's what I like!
Presentation and taste... Quality, Love and Compassion!
A side note... I'm kinda glad she didn't come down because now I get to relive this delicious meal for lunch!
What do you think? High End?
I wouldn't kill you - maybe hurt you a little but never kill you. ;) <3 Good job, can't wait to try this!
