Sautéed tofu and vegetables with chilli sauce and sweet basil.

Time : 16 minutes






Ingredient for one person

Rice
Tofu
1 piece of courgette
1 onion
1 or 2 garlic cloves
3 chillies (if they are not too strong, if you use Thai chilli, one is enough according to my level of tolerance)
Fresh sweet basil
A few garden orache leaves or spinach if you can´t pick any garden orache.
Salt
1 small piece of ginger
1/2 tea spoon of curry powder (turmeric, coriander, cumin)
1 small piece of cucumber
Some lettuce or other kind of greens
Oil

Preparation

While boiling the rice, grind the chilli(es), garlic and ginger in a mortar, add some oil (olive oil or whatever you like) and salt.

Slice all vegetables and the tofu, stir fry it first and when it becomes a bit crusty, and the courgette and onion, fry a few minutes.
When the vegetables are a bit soft, add the garden orache, chilli paste with the sweet basil (I use the leaves and stems), some salt if needed, quickly mix, fry two or three minutes.

Serve with some cucumber slivers, lettuce and a dressing you like.

Sautéed vegetables with quinoa and walnut crêpe.

Time : 31 minutes





Ingredient for one person

Pasta :
100g of flour
50g of water
Salt

Crêpe :
5 walnuts (or other nuts if you prefer)
Salt
Nutmeg
3 tablespoons of flour
A few spoons of soya milk (or other cereal milk)
1/2 tablespoon of starch (tapioca, potato, maize, as you wish...)
A bit of vegetable oil

Vegetables :
Soya sauce (Shoyu or tamari or if you want it it sweet, kecap manis and so on)
1 onion
Leek
Fennel
A few garlic cloves
3 tablespoons of quinoa
Paprika
Black pepper
Turmeric
1 piece of fresh ginger
Water
1 lettuce leaf (I used iceberg lettuce)

Preparation

If you have no time, skip the first part and buy some pasta. :)
Pour the flour in a bowl, add a few pinches of salt, slowly add water until the dough becomes smooth and doesn't stick too much. Leave it in a cool place while preparing the other parts of the recipe. When time comes to cook them, flatten the dough slice it in small pieces (or rasp it) and boil them.

Boil the quinoa with a bit of water (many people rinse the quinoa before boiling it, I never do so), once ready, add some turmeric and soya sauce, mix, serve it on the lettuce leaf.

Meanwhile, chop a piece of leek, a piece of fennel, one onion and some garlic cloves, ginger, stir-fry them, add in the end some soya sauce, paprika powder, black pepper, turmeric and the pasta (or noodles if you wish), mix, it's ready.

For the crêpe : pour the starch flour, a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg in a bowl and small pieces of walnuts, slowly add the soya milk (if you have no cereal milk, water is fine too) while mixing until the dough is more or less like a paste, a bit liquid but not watery.
Fry in a very hot pan with a bit of oil.

You can eat now !
