Jared gets off of work kinda late so I try to make stuff that tastes amazing reheated. This week I cut to the chase and made 2 of my favorite dishes into 1: Stir Fried Rice. Early in the day I steamed jasmine rice and let it hang out at room temperature. When I was ready to eat I fried up a block of tofu in canola oil and set it aside. I diced a broccoli crown as well as a small zucchini along with a shredded 1/4 of a green cabbage and placed the washed veggies in a colander. I slowing poured boiling water over the veggies in the colander to slightly steam/wilt the veggies so they wouldn't be raw in my fried rice. I then fried up my cooked jasmine rice with a bit of canola oil, sesame oil and sesame seeds until the edges were browned and crispy. I added the steamed veggies in with the rice with a little Hoi sin sauce, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. At the last minute I combined the fried tofu. I topped it all off with chopped green onions and more black and white sesame seeds. This was nothing ground breaking but Jared really, really enjoyed it after a long day at work.
Is it true that one of my favorite foods of all times is back: Grilled Cheese!? Thanks to Teese and Cosmo's Vegan Shoppe for carrying it, we can again enjoy a grilled cheese sandwich when nothing else will do.
I'm not gonna lie, the very first grilled cheese I made with Teese didn't blow me away. The problem? I cut the Teese (insert joke here) too thick and it overwhelmed the whole sandwich. It tasted too soy milky and got really juicy/drippy when it melted (kinda like Buffalo mozzarella when it's melted). Plus I didn't think it was salty enough and kinda tasted like dill (not my most favorite thing). So, for my second grilled Teese sandwich, I cut the Teese thinner and added a bit of garlic salt, which gave it a salty bite and toned down the dill taste. Both times I made this I did add thin sliced tomatoes because I don't know about your tomatoes right now, but ours (from Florida which we got at our local farmers market) are so wonderful. Sweet, full tomato flavor and bright red! Plus I think grilled cheese sandwiches are a little boring without sliced tomato.
Perfection on a plate!
The price of Teese wasn't too bad either, about $8 for a pound of it (I have definitely spent more on an imported cheese before). I'm not sure it will be something we will always have around, because I could dangerously eat too much of it, but it is certainly the best non-animal milk cheese I have had since becoming vegan and I am thrilled I CAN have a decent grilled cheese sandwich once again.

holy...I know what I will be having tomorrow for lunch: grilled teese sandwich!!!
Stir Fried Rice + Grilled Teese = hooray for vegan-friendly comfort foods! :0)
That fried rice looks and sounds perfect. It's been TOO LONG since I've had fried rice, I love it, what's wrong with me?!
Teese, eh? I've never seen that, I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that.
I need that sandwich in my mouth!
Nice grilled teese!
For lunch today, I had a pita with tofurky sausage, teese, and marinara. Good stuff! You are lucky you can go to Cosmo's!
I love the texture and colors of the rice! Fried tofu is love.
And uugh~I dislike dill as well D: My brother loves it--I just can't fathom WHY...o_O
I'm glad the second time worked for you! At first I thought the toasts were actually pancakes :p
yum...yum...yum....they both look delish! I can't wait to try Teese.
Thanks for the Teese tips! I'm still looking for a good vegan cheese. And I can't believe you have good tomatoes already! Ours won't be at their best until about August.
Both meals looks great!
I agree completely that grilled cheese sandwiches NEED a nice slice of fresh tomato, or some great tomato soup.
Mmm, I love grilled "cheese" sandwiches with toasted bread, tomatoes and avocados!
we really like the all-american grilledcheeze in the uncheese cookbook... want me to email it to you?
(p.s. your Teese looks mighty fine!)
The fried rice sounds AWESOME! I've been enjoying grilled Teese as well! It's great for pizza.
Yum, I love fried rice.
I wish I could try Teese, if it melts as well as you describe I bet it would be great on pizza.
We won't have fresh garden tomatoes until August, maybe Teese will make it up here by then.
I'd give these to my mate
