Mongolian 'Beefless' Beef (Vegetarian)
"Yum! This is easy and really makes a change from the same old flavours. It really does taste like restaurant food! I have made it with tofu and with fake beef (President's Choice) and it is was good both ways. The tofu is less expensive and a bit more delicate. The fake beef was more chewy and occasionally a bit of 'Tofurkey' flavour sneaked through."

I enjoyed the sauce and the veggies! Next time I will try it with fake meat for a little chewier texture. Thanks Elise and Family!

Cooking should be easy and fun, in my opinion! And it's not only what you eat, but how you eat it . . . a peaceful meal eaten with a sense of gratitude will do wonders for the digestion. I cook for my family and we enjoy mainly organic, vegetarian dishes.
