the making of yummies

[plural]

so

in addition to taking photos
of things I cook before eating them
to torture yall with

recently
I have been more interested
in taking photos along the process

so

I give you



First we slice the veggies

[japanese eggplant, zuchini, bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas and bena sproutss]

Then we add lots of yummy mushrooms

[Shitake, Portabella and Button]

begin the saute

[onions, garlic, shallots, ginger and elephant garlic]

combine and cook to perfection

[mmm doesnt that look tasty]

Fry up some tofu

[cubed in pepper oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, hot curry powder]

I didnt take pictures of the rice cooking
cause well

thats boring shite

then for presentation
mound the rice in the center of the plate
and surround with veggies like so

[aint that pretty]

I put the fried tofu crumbles [note to self, if you want cubes, use firmer tofu] over the rest but something funky happened with the picture so I dont got a final product for you
[think the lense got steamed up and I didnt notice]

btw the veggies shown here and two cups of rice
will easily feed six people



Stir fries are the only leftovers I will eat
cause I can just reheat them and add different spices to change them
[not to mention a great way to clean out the fridge]
[of a bunch of veggies that you need to use up]
[before they go icky]

then
like
presto

stir fried veggies in a spicy black bean sauce
[otherwise known as last nights dinner]

start to finish about 25 minutes

then you get to relax and chow down



and be pimping like me

*wicked grin*
