Members SuperBacon Posted January 12, 2023 Members Share Posted January 12, 2023 I had the Sainsbury's Plant Pioneers VLT sandwich (well, actually 4x of them as they were marked down to 30p) It has Vegan Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato and Vegan Baconnaise. The Tomato was pretty overpowering (as is often the case when they're in sandwiches) but it was decent enough. Not worth £3, but then what sandwich is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I often just take the tomato out, I like them but not in sarnies or burgers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted January 23, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted January 23, 2023 So I've been following this channel, as he's put up some delicious-looking dishes, particularly noodle ones: https://youtube.com/@YEUNGMANCOOKING I'd been wanting to try these for some time, so took a quick trip to my local Oriental minimarket to pick up tobanjian, Chinese black vinegar, and gochugaru. Today I got to try the hot & sweet chilli noodles: I used udon instead of ramen, and mixed nuts instead of peanuts, but it is fucking lush. Very tasty, very spicy, very evil.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guvnor Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I'm loving Aldi again at the moment for their veggie / vegan range. The veggie lasagne, mushroom bolognese and frozen sausages in batter are particular favourites, along with the red pepper and mozzarella parcels they've been doing for years.

Have you tried their new vegan stuffed crust pizza? I had the vegetable salsa one which was pretty good if a little too sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 26, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 26, 2023 Had friends round on Friday, so made a vegetable curry and jeerah rice. Turned out quite nicely. Never cooked rice using the Bangladeshi method before, so was pleased it all ended up scoffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MungoChutney Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I struggle with rice cooking so much that I tend to rely on boil in the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Rice is actually ridiculously easy. You just use double the amount of water to rice I.e. 1 cup of rice add 2 cups of boiling water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A staple of many Asian homes. You can buy very small ones for personal sizes, or large family ones. They're very cheap and you will never have to think about cooking rice well again.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 27, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted February 27, 2023 This is the recipe I used (I screwed up by missing out the extra spoonful of jeerah, and I didn't have fresh green chilis in the house, but it still turned out great): Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merzbow Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 This could easily just go in #eatclean but I had Aldi's vegan chip shop curry and rice for breakfast, pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aldi range is really good innit? Haven’t tried the battered sausages yet (unlike your mum) but they look interesting.  Marinaded some tofu in soy, chilli, garlic and ginger last night and did it in the air fryer. I’ve got this old cookbook and did the “Firecracker sauce” recipe, essentially a hot and sweet chilli sauce, and added the tofu. Was well lush!
