Soup beans and cornbread

Chinese pork patty rice vegan style

 Another rice cooker meal - a vegan version of Chinese pork patty rice. I used 2 @beyondmeat patties mixed with garlic, green onions, soy sauce, mushroom bouillon powder, mushroom soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt and pepper. I filled the rice cooker with jasmine rice, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, green onions, cabbage, gailan and carrots then I shaped the meat into a big patty and placed it on top. Covered and pressed cook. In 20 minutes dinner was ready. I broke up the meat and mixed up the rice and served it with dark sweet soy sauce.

Red chile enchiladas casserole

 Delicious red chile enchiladas casserole topped with homemade salsa. I used up food and produce that needed to go: leftover black beans, potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini, gai lan and onions. I made a red chile sauce recipe that my friend shared with me. Very delicious.
