Vegan and vegetarian food on the cheap

Back on worcester sauce - I found some in Asda, never seen it there before but it was next to the Lea and Perrins. Posted more details on another thread on this board couple of weeks ago.

I have used Tamari sauce instead of worcester sauce its much stronger so use sparingly.

where do you get tamari sauce from?

In health food shops or japanese shops. It is a very concentrate form of soy sauce and very nice indeed! But as suggested, use sparingly, very very salty!

Hi everyone, I make a veggie fried rice. I put a little bit of olive oil in a wok, then cut up whatever veg is in the fridge i.e onion, pepper, celery, carrot (great for using up a few bits of veg - that stick of celery or one mushroom or carrot). Chuck it in the hot wok, whizz it round until cooked then add the cooked rice, I use brown rice. Add soya sauce or similar. If you eat eggs you can make a thin omelette cut it into strips and add. Tastes great! Can always add any frozen veg instead or as well as...... enjoy!
