Ma po tofu with sesame noodles.
The tofu looks yummy, whats the sauce made of? if you don't mind me asking
Not at all! I used this recipe - http://dinersjournal.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/11/01/the-temporary-vegetarian-vegan-ma-po-tofu/
I didn't follow it exactly but it was really lovely. Next time I'm gonna make it hotter, I wimped out and only used one tablespoon of hot bean paste!
Edit: I also used firm tofu instead of silken cause I don't really like silken in savoury dishes.
“Ma Po tofu is supposed to bring sweat to your face, and numbness to your mouth”
I can see why you took it easy with the hot bean paste!
Thanks for the link Barry, I will definitely try this.
Massive backlog of photos, slowly starting to upload them all. Here are some.

A few more, then I'll take a breather before uploading cupcake photos from two charity bake-sales I did in September (if people like photos of vegan cupcakes?).

Meal from Bamboo Garden, Seattle. Spring roll, special fried rice, chow mein and something the name of which I forget but which was very tasty (dumplings, broccoli and carrot). Was a bit heavy and far too much food for one meal, but they gave me a take away box and it kept me going for three meals!
Everyone's food looks great! I especially like the looks of the Banoffee cupcakes, the ma po tofu, and that mouth-watering lasagne verdi!
Sigh... Hungry again. Happens everytime I come in here! :rolleyes:

That is my kind of porridge!
OK. I have been wanting to ask this for weeks, but I have not, due to possible embarrassment for asking what is probably obvious to everyone else. What grain is porridge made from? Is it oats, like what Americans call oatmeal? If not, please enlighten me, because it looks REALLY good. Jealousy about those yummy photos has forced me to ask! My Irish, English, Scottish, and French ancestors are probably rolling in their graves right now, disgusted with my silliness. LOL
^ You're right, oats/oatmeal.
Thanks Risker :)

Moroccan couscous, chargrilled vegetable couscous, houmous, pitta breads, falafels, sun dried tomatoes, pickled chilli, olives, home grown tomatoes, rocket, baby spinach and watercess. Tzatziki, tomato salsa.
Wow that looks SO yummy. Did you make that or is it a restaurant?
I made it. :)
Its a VERY beautiful spread if I do say so myself. I really thought it was from a restaurant!
Wow. Respect to Risker. That looks like an awesome spread, and all the more impressive for being homemade. (Feeling hungry now!)
Mixed veg in blackbean sauce, rice, mixed veg, tofu yung thing:

Rainbow & Firestorm - your food looks great and now I'm super hungry!
Sorry this is a bit beige, didn't manage to catch it in daylight. Pinto bean and carrot spicy stew over quinoa, with almond 'feta' spread.

Good old tofu scramble, it was super spicy and yellow because of all the spices I added.

Masala dhal with rice, doesn't look that good but it sure tasted good!

Chili! I used 4 different types of beans and decided to eat it with corn instead of the usual rice =)
My meals look kind of lame compared to everyone elses, but next time I bake a cake I'll get a good picture!
Personally I think your meals look lovely!
All these dishes look wholesome and delicious!
Firestorm, is that actually you in your avatar for once? Looks like Daniel Bedingfield!
Yep that's me (http://www.veganforum.com/forums/sho...l=1#post694495), do you really think that I look like Daniel Beddingfield?
In that picture you do - take it as a compliment.
Will do!- although I've always thought he was on the tubby side:-)
You don't look tubby, not that it matters and not that anyone can tell such things anyway from a head shot!
Not very good to luck at, but very tasty - Mash, veg & casserole with home made seitan sausages:

Sushi made with nori, sushi rice, mirin, rice wine vinegar, wasabi and various combinations of red bell pepper, cucumber, avocado and spring onion. Served with home made red chilli dipping sauce and pickled ginger slices.
^ *applauds*
I woke up late this morning (10 hours sleep - more than I have had since 2006) famished with low blood sugar so made this (Pan fried mushrooms, scrambled silken tofu with mayo, defrosted Vegourmet, fried tomato, baked beans, potato cakes and Vegetarians choice burger):
http://i1123.photobucket.com/albums/...1/SDC11290.jpg
^ that looks delish, just the kind of food i want right now
Looked at this thread loads and it's all so healthy. This must be fixed!

Sweet pepper, mushroom and chilli pizza.
Might look rubbish, but both amazing. Veganism's far too healthy, I've been after something greasy and stodgy for ages. Firestorm's fry up looks amazing though.
My only objection to Firestorm's fry up is that I much prefer sausages to burgers. So I would ditch the burger, replace with a couple of sausages (Linda McCartney/Redwood/ Fry's, all good!) and then devour. Nom!
I'm trying to use things up out of the freezer and I'm using my sausages for Toad in the hole tomorrow (some how burger in the hole just doesn't sound the same) so it was burger or nothing:p
