Saucy
Although I've been on a tight budget my whole life, I've only learned the importance of a good sauce in the last couple of years. You can make rice. beans or tofu and some veggies taste like a restaurant meal with a good sauce. It's a great way to spruce up what could otherwise be a boring meal.
This bowl is really just rice, shredded Romaine, avocado, green onion and baked tofu. But the sweet and spicy gochujang sauce made me want to lick the bowl clean.

Oh wow! This sauce sounds delicious!! I'm definitely going to have to give this a try when I get my gochujang this weekend! I also have chili garlic sauce on my list so yay! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got your gochujang and rice cakes!
DeleteYum, your sauce sounds great! I've never had gochujang paste before, but I'll have to pick some up so I can give this recipe a try!
ReplyDeleteI only learned about gochujamg in the past year or so. I love it so much!! Check out Cheap Lazy Vegan or The Viet Vegan on YouTube, they have so many recipes using it!
DeleteSauces are really the best, aren't they? This looks so good!
ReplyDeleteI swear a good sauce can spruce up the most boring meal! I think if your on a budget, sauces are your best friend!
DeleteNice!! I agree 110% a good sauce or salad dressing totally makes or breaks otherwise kinda boring meals. I’ve been going through an intense miso tahini dressing phase for a while now- with no end in sight! It’s so good i make a big batch at a time, keeps well a few days- you could totally do the same with this sauce too!

You know I've never made a miso tahini sauce. I've never combined the two, but that sounds delicious! Do you have a recipe?
DeleteOooh you will LOVE it!! Most basic version:
Delete1/4 c tahini
1TB miso (light color, or if darker color start with like two tsp before adding more)
1 TB either lemon juice or rice wine vinegar (i use juice of 1/4 lemon)
1/4 c very warm water, maybe less if you want it thicker
Add all to a jar and shake the hell out of it.
Taste and add a little sweetner or more lemon. If gets too thick overnight in fridge add a splash warm water and remix. Whisk or blender is awesome and makes more creamy than jar and shaking.
I make 2xs batch and keeps in fridge all week easily.
Optional tasty additions:
Fresh grated or pressed garlic, one clove
Fresh cilantro, tho makes dressing more perishable so only add to what eating that night.
It’s amazing on any kind of veggies and i swear if i only had this dressing and celery as my veggies for a week straight i would be happy.

Sooooo many good things about this bowl!
ReplyDeleteI love sauces. My favourites are peanut, tahini, and miso sauces. They are so versatile and can make anything seem like a fancy meal!
