Get Sconed! in Australia! !Tempeh!

Admittedly, I didn't travel to Australia (yet!), but I'm honored to say that Get Sconed! was featured on Aduki Online.

It's "the web-based reinvention of aduki, a food and lifestyle magazine for vegetarians, vegans and people interested in a healthier and more ethical lifestyle. aduki online delivers the latest vegan news from Australia and around the world here every week."

Thanks Aduki!

'Tempeh Steak' marinading

I've also cracked open my copy of "Tempting Tempeh" by Emily Clark, which is published by Aduki. Whether you've seen my blog 5 times or 100 times, you have probably noticed how I dig that fermented bean cake. The first recipe I made was the "Tempeh Steaks".

The sauce is an easy sesame-asian one, and the mashed potatoes are jazzed up with some wasabi paste. Now, Thomas wasn't having the wasabi addition, so I left that out and added some garlic sea salt. I marinaded the tempeh overnight to make it extra flavorful, and while I wasn't sure about the asian-mashed potatoes vibe, it pulled it off! I'm sure it would be even better with the actual wasabi. It was very 'restaurant food' and remarkably quick to make.

The recipe was supposed to make extra sauce to drizzle, but I threw in some Trader Joe's Chickenless strips to soak it up for Thomas.

Thomas took one bite of a chickenless strip and warned me "You are not going to like this". It's true, they're not my thing, and I actually liked the last posts' beefless strips better. I don't see myself buying either of them again, but they are cheaper and similar (possibly just repackaged..) to the Morningstar Farms ones, if you're into that.
Speaking of Morningstar, I recently read that they're taking the egg out of several products, so be on the ingredient-reading lookout! You know, again, if you're into that.

And Portlanders! Sweetpea brunch buffet again this Sunday! I'm hoping to go, as I was unable to last week. Woo!
