Gonna see about getting them (think they can be mail-ordered), though I'd probably bake the shells rather than fry them.<BR/><BR/>Jaffrey's <I>World of the East Vegetarian Cooking</I> does have great recipes--it's not all vegan but the nonvegan recipes can be veganized.

Did want to confirm that I had actually just seend something about vegan baseball mitts and balls being sold about Target in a recent magazine (maybe VT). Anyhoo, I also want to say that I usually buy the shelled edamame (frozen), so I don't have to do any work and you get more for your money, since you're not paying for the weight of the pods! Last, I am very excited about the World Vegetarian book, as I saw it in Border's and have been itching to purchase it (but I'm watching my spending at the moment). But it will definitely be the next book I get!Peace, Love and Veganismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622549146897862600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1146390912766454362006-04-30T02:55:00.000-07:002006-04-30T02:55:00.000-07:00I'm so glad Schmoo loves Japanese food.

It took me way too long to figure out how good it is.<BR/><BR/>Another good book to check out is "Japanese Cooking Contemporary and Traditional: Simple, Delicious, and Vegan" by Miyoko Nishimoto Schinner.<BR/><BR/>I also really love "Three Bowls: Vegetarian Recipes from an American Zen Buddhist Monastery" by Seppo Ed Farrey and Nancy O'Hara.

I fried the tofu, then I took it out of the pan, wiped the oil out of pan while the tofu drained on a towel, and made the glaze by itself. Once it had gotten syrupy I added the tofu pieces and it stuck really well. I also added some sesame oil and a little ginger and chili oil to spice it up. It was wonderful!Wide Lawnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00709122293174246759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1146249141726762162006-04-28T11:32:00.000-07:002006-04-28T11:32:00.000-07:00Oh, I love that lil Shmoo wants to go to Japan for...Oh, I love that lil Shmoo wants to go to Japan for his birthday!Flo @ Yielded Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605892450723387204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16132334.post-1146234918550266252006-04-28T07:35:00.000-07:002006-04-28T07:35:00.000-07:00Cool!
