I stole this recipe from Tasty and Meatless, the show on OC 16. But it's okay, we're vegetarian co-conspirators.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dehydrated soy beef ground
1/2 cup water (or 1/2 package "Gimme Lean" from fridge section Down To Earth
2 tablespoons vegetarian chicken broth
1/4 block vegan "cheese" from fridge section Down To Earth
1/2 cup bamboo shoots, chopped finely
1/3 cup BBQ sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
1/4 cup green onions, chopped finely
whole wheat pita bread from Down To Earth bread shelf Instructions:
Ingredients:
- First, hydrate the soy beef. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add the vegetarian chicken broth and the dry soy beef. Stir and let sit until the soy beef soaks up all the water, about 10 minutes. OR- just use the Gimme Lean ready to go fake hamburger.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, and add the soy cheese, bamboo shoots, BBQ sauce, and Hoisin sauce. Stir until everything is mixed and heated through.
- Add this sauce mixture to the hydrated soy beef and mix well. Add the green onions last so they retain their color and crunchiness.
- Heat the pita bread. With a spoon split open the center to create a space, and stuff the filling inside.
- You can also serve the filling over rice or in with fresh sprouts, lettuce, and grated carrots as a sandwich.
