Thai-inspired vegetable and tofu stir fry minus any thai ingredients
Sat, 2009/04/04 - 12:10pm — Benjamin Melançon
Sesame oil.
A cup or so of baby carrots sliced just a little thin on the rounds. These go in first.
An onion, sliced and chopped.
Red pepper.
Light green pepper. These all went in together.
Firm tofu, sliced and chopped but it ended up scrambled. I should have squeezed more water out of teh tofu, instead I cooked everything forever
Hot green peppers, the little ones. Rescuing the still-good parts of pretty old ones. These were key
Water chestnuts.
A few pickled mushrooms (not too vinegary, the only mushrooms we had)
Added maybe two tablespoons of brown sugar.
Had all kinds of spices in reserve but didn't need any. It pretty much tasted good the whole way through, but I added:
Wheat-free tamari sauce.
Amino acids -- i think ill leave this as a condiment next time.
A little sea salt.
Turmeric (a little).
Cumin.
And a small amount of red masala.
Served over rice (made in rice cooker, unflavored, maybe with a little more water than needed)

Favorite Quotations
We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.
