Tuesday: veg stir fry with cheat's satay sauce (first go - anyone have a recipe?) and rice noodles

I make one using crunchy peanut butter and sweet chilli sauce, mixed together with enough water to make a pouring consistency - you can add some chilli flakes as well if you want it to be a bit spicier. Pour it over the veggies just before they're cooked and sizzle for a minute or so - it's very simple and surprisingly tasty.

I had a day off today so did a bit of batch cooking as on lates this week so take tea to work and it's always tempting not to eat as well! Plus other half will eat naughty stuff otherwise as easier than cooking!!

Us girls will have either fried potatoes and spinach, or vegan omelette,

Ok, you've got me with this one! How on earth do you make a vegan omelette? Is it made with some sort of egg substitute?

Nottoobadyet

Thanks, CCP, sounds easy!

Zogster - if your Shakshouka doesn't turn out absolutely freaking amazing, let me know and I'll give you my recipe :P

I don't always have swet chilli sauce, but I do similar with ketchup + lime/orange juice + soy sauce. A nice mixture is plum jam in place of the ketchup too

Chick pea flour You can add some mashed tofu to the batter for a fluffier omelette but we like the storecupboard fritatta style one without tofu added. Still plenty of protein thanks to the chick pea flour. I mix it with self raising flour to get it a bit lighter and less "eggy" flavoured though.

Gigervamp

That's really handy to know. So, do you just mix the flour with water to make a paste, then cook?

Boodle

I mix the chick pea flour to a paste with water to get all the lumps out. Then add approx an equal quantity of self raising flour and more water to make a thickish but pourable batter. If we want a flufier omelette, I roughly mash in some firm tofu now as well. Season it as you like (onions and/or chopped chillis are good too ) and whisk in about a tbsp of vegetable oil. Fry as you would a pancake in a frying pan with a little oil until set, then flip and continue cooking for a minute until golden on the underside.

It's not only handy as a storecupboard recipe, but cheaper than using eggs too

I just had toast this morning (well with homemade bread so a bit more substantial) but reallly fancying omelette with brown sauce now lol.

Gigervamp

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try sometime.
