Oh hey, I'm feeling industrious again
Yup. Apparently I was still feeling industrious this morning so I set off to cook something. Or several somethings actually.
First up I made this soup thing for my dad. He's got a cold and I figured he could do with something super spicy. I fried up some onions, ginger and garlic then added some vegetable stock. Next I shredded some red cabbage (hence the red colour) and carrots. After that I added some hot pepper seeds, ground cayenne and a bit of chili oil. And finally, I added some cilantro (fresh coriander) after I put it in the bowl.
I'm told it was good. I didn't actually really eat any (aside from taste-testing it before) but apparently it was good!
And after that......... I was still feeling like cooking! I made a crappy lunch of soup using one of flavored packages things you can buy. It was pretty awful so I then made a baked potato in the microwave. I swear chives were invented so I could put them on a baked potato. YUMMY.
And AFTER THAT! I made vegan tokoyaki! I have never heard of this before despite nomming on quite a bit of Asian food in my lifetime (vegan and not vegan). The original is deep fried squid in this batter. The not vegan version uses mushrooms. I got the recipe from The Vegan Ronin. I don't have a picture of them because everyone ate them before I could find my camera (it's okay, they didn't look as pretty as the ones by Vegan Ronin). The only changes I made to it was I used a normal onion I had left over from earlier and I added garlic powder by accident instead of ginger powder (I added ginger powder as well after I realized my mistake).
I had some problems getting the batter to cover the mushrooms (maybe because the mushrooms were wet?) and then because I don't have a pan for deep frying I had some minor issues getting the balls to keep their shape while frying them. But the important thing is they tasted amazing. I didn't have any of the condiments to go with it but they were so awesome in their own. Next time I think I might actually cook them in a Yorkshire pudding tin (apparently in Japan, they actually have special molds to cook them and when I saw a pic, they reminded me of Yorkshire pudding tins). If they weren't so unhealthy, I would definitely make these again tomorrow :D
