Chow Mein and Whole Wheat Bread

It was one of those days. We were not sure what to make for dinner. I had to go to the grocer for toilet paper so I would be able to pick up ingredients. I wanted red bean burgers but mom wanted chow mein so we went with chow mein. I do not fuss once it is healthy, easy to digest and simple to make. I got carrots, cabbage, and sweet peppers. Then some maggi all purpose seasoning. There was actual chow mein seasoning but I was scared of the MSG but I still do not know if what I settled on has MSG. My mom cut up the ingredients and I would do the sauteing and dishing out. I also made the tea. By the way, this is not my first attempt at a cooking blog and regular cooking. I used to do a lot of cooking when I was vegan. One day I will probably return to being vegetarian and then being vegan. It just feels like the right thing to me. Here are some photos. So basically cut up and rinse with water and vinegar. Saute in some oil. Then add seasoning, butter and black pepper. The secret for me for a good chow mein is slow heat, cook until tender and stir often enough. Then bon appetit.

Beef chow mein

I tried boiling the beef first to see how that affects the taste and texture. For the chow mein, I sauted a whole cut up onion in golden ray. Then I added my beef slices. I seasoned it with garlic, celery, parsley and chives. Then I added my veggie pieces - cauliflower, sweet pepper, green cabbage and pimento. I cook for about 20 minutes on low heat, adding water halfway through. I served it with my goodly stovetop bread.

Thursday ital cookup

Today was provisions and stew tomatoes. For provisions I used blue dasheen, sweet potato and green fig. The green fig was boiled with skin on and that make it easier to peel. I also boiled some plantain. The tomatoes were sauteed in golden ray with celery, chive, parsley, shadon beni and garlic. I added water so I would have enough sauce for the provisions. I like cooking in the early morning when the place is quiet and cool. I also have tamarind sauce as a condiment. Ital is vital.

Medley lunch

I decided to make a medley for lunch of the things I had available. First was roasted baigan or baigan choka. Then chow mein using a chow mein pack I had. This had carrots, sweet pepper and cabbage. I added parsley, shadon beni and celery and garlic and cooked on low heat in golden ray butter. Then I boiled some plantain and made some curly pasta. Pasta was served with parmesan and tamarind sauce.
