But not together! That would be weird. Anyway, I've had a half-pack of OmniPork vegan luncheon meat (aka vegan Spam) in the deep freezer for awhile, so I decided to make Spam Sushi with it last week! These salty, meaty filets were perfect sushi filling because they added a salty bite to the otherwise sweet-tangy sushi rice and crisp cucumbers.
A perfect use for this spam, by the way. I had the other half of the pack in a spam hash awhile back, and it was good. But I think this was better!
Here's a bowl of Khatti Dal that I made from Plant-Based India last week. This uses masoor dal, and it has a tangy (almost sour) flavor. It's made creamy with a little vegan soy yogurt. Really good, though not my favorite dal from the book, admittedly.
On the side, I had some Trader Joe's Vegetable Samosas with a cilantro chutney that I bought at an Indian market. These TJ's samosas are a new fave. I've picked them up and put them back on just about every trip to TJ's over the years. I don't know I never went through with buying them, but I'm so glad I finally did. I'll be stocking up on these with every trip now!
Your sushi sounds so inventive and yummy! Not sure if one of your cookbooks has the recipe but an Indian tamarind chutney is a really good sweet and sour addition with cilantro chutney to take samosas to the next level! - Sri.
ReplyDeleteI have a packet of omnipork spam languishing in my freezer, which I must use up because I just bought to tins of a new vegan spam product that has come out in Australia. Who knew I'd be having a vegan spam revival in 2023.
