Chinese Stir Fry

Zeek is in China, so he sent us a stir fry recipe! We are posting the recipe for you to follow. We are also posting 2 pictures on our picture page. 



Chinese Stir Fry
Cut the tofu into cubes – 2 cm squares

Prepare sauce: mix in a small bowl:
1 TBS cornstarch and 4 TBS vegetable broth, 1 TBS soy sauce, 1 TBS oyster sauce, salt and pepper (to taste)
Whisk (mix) and set aside

Vegetables have been prewashed.
Cut 2 ribs of celery into ½ inch pieces on the diagonal.
Cut the broccoli heads off and cut them into bite sizes. Use some of the stalk, cutting them into bite sizes. (on the diagonal is nice)
Slice the mushrooms.
Cut the green onions into small circles.
Cut the red pepper into bite sizes.
Heat oil in the fry pan, and when the oil is hot add the vegetables and stir fry until the broccoli is tender.

Then you will add your sauce until it thickens.

Eat and enjoy!

Naana Mia Pizza

What is that? 
Our pizza was made with naan bread. Naan bread is a very yummy bread from India. Zeek decided to mix cultures and make pizza (Italian) with naan bread.
First we went down to the garden to pick veggies for our pizza. We picked basil, onions, lettuce (yes, lettuce for our pizza!) and purslane. When we got back to our "kitchen" we cut the naan bread in half. We put a tomato and basil pasta sauce on the bread. Then everyone chose what they wanted on their pizza. Some put on black olives, red onion, and/or their goodies from the garden. Everyone put on Mozzarella cheese! Next we cooked our mini pizzas in a toaster oven or in a skillet! They were done in about 5 minutes. They were delicious!
