Round Two of the Vegan Food Porn Post-A-Thon... VegWeb's Potato Angel's

Okay here we go again! A few weekends ago, I made a tried and true favorite with a new twist: VegWeb's Potato Angels! This time, I added black salt (an Indian spice that gives dishes and "eggy" flavor) and OMG did this taste like a deviled egg (Well the yellow filling definitely did)... This was so good I swear you could use the filling (made out of potatoes, vegan mayo, yellow mustard, minced onions, pepper, black salt, and paprika) as spread for vegan egg salad sammies... Seriously legit folks... Get off your ass and get some black salt, look at this!

I served the Angel's alongside some tofu that I baked in Braggs and Olive Oil (find the technique in Viva Vegan) at 400F for 20 minutes and another 15 minutes or so slathered in store bought barbecue sauce, served with some roasted brussels sprouts...

The "Egg Salad" was served alongside some slices of Vegan Dad's Lunch Meat, thickly sliced and smothered in ketchup, served with roasted carrots and brussels...

Oh ya, and I also made some vegan sushi cause I can't go long without my fix... This was pretty simple since I didn't have much on hand... Just avocado, carrots, pickled radish and cucumber.

More Vegan Sushi

I love making sushi if you can't tell already. This batch contained Baked Tofu, avocado, pickled radish, homemade pickled carrots, homemade pickled red bell pepper, and cucumber.

Delicious as usual! Here are some more pictures:

Vegan Sushi with Baked Teriyaki Tofu

Last night I threw a block of tofu in my Tofu Press so that I would have perfectly pressed tofu today. This morning I decided I wanted to make vegan sushi for lunch and what better to go in vegan sushi than baked tofu? Nothing. Especially Teriyaki flavored baked tofu! This is only my second time baking tofu and this time it turned out perfect, I think I might be baking tofu more often now!

Teriyaki Baked Tofu:

- Press tofu, preferably in a tofu press
- Marinate tofu in about 1/4 cup TJ's Soyaki or Soy Vay Teryaki Sauce for an hour, preferably in your Tofu Press with its handy marinating lid!
- Preheat oven to 400F
- Take tofu out of marinade and cut tofu in 1/4 inch slabs
- Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray and place tofu slabs in the dish. Top tofu with any remaining marinade
- Bake for an hour, flipping tofu over after 30 minutes.
- Allow cooked tofu to cool a bit and it will stiffen up and get that wonderful baked tofu texture!

***I cut these slabs in half for sushi making***

My vegan sushi consisted of:

~ Pickled Daikon Radish (It's yellow and comes refrigerated you can find it at an Asian grocery store)
~ Avocado
~ Pickled Carrots (Carrots left to sit in a mixture of water and rice vinegar for at least an hour)
~ Cucumber
~ Teriyaki Baked Tofu

Vegan Sushi!

I love me some sushi! It doesn't have to be covered in diseased fish carcass either to taste good. Just make sushi using your favorite veggies! Pickled veggies are also amazing in sushi but I didn't have any this time around.

You will need a bamboo mat covered in saran wrap to make your sushi and a sharp knife.

Ingredients for Rice:

- 1 & 1/2 Cups Calrose Rice (AKA Sticky Rice)
- 2 Cups Water
- Seasoned Rice Vinegar (A few teaspoons, to taste)
- Salt (Some generous shakes, to taste)

Ingredients for sushi (This time):

- 4 Sheets of Nori
- Avocado
- Baked Flavored Tofu (I used Teryaki flavored from Trader Joe's)
- Cucumber (Seeds scooped out)
- Shredded Carrots
- Red Bell Pepper
- Pickled Ginger (Optional)
- Dipping sauce of choice (Sweet Chili Sauce or Soy Sauce & Wasabi)

Directions:

- Cook your sushi rice according package directions or use a rice cooker (Like me).
- While sushi is cooking get all your sliced veggies ready (Like the picture above).
- Once your rice is done cooking scoop it out into a nonreactive bowl and let it cool, turining occasionally.
- Once cooled add seasoned rice vinegar and salt and mix well to distribute rice seasonings.
- Place a sheet of nori on your saran wrapped sushi mat.
- Spread out 1/4 of the rice evenly to cover the sushi mat.
- Add veggies, roll sushi, cut into slices, eat. If you need detailed instructions on how to make sushi you can google it or watch a video on youtube.
