New England Style "Clam" Chowder
This is a recipe I made a couple times and our whole family loved it. It was out of a cookbook I had gotten from the library and after returning the book, I forgot about it and never wrote down the recipe. After a year of trying to search for the cookbook I had found it in, I finally discovered which cookbook I had used and the beloved recipe. This soup is so flavorful and delicious...though it doesn't really taste like clam chowder to me, it is fabulously yum!
New England-Style Chowder (adapted from Vegan Planet)
2 T olive oil
1 large onion chopped
2 celery ribs chopped
5 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
4 cups vegetable stock
1 2in piece of kombu
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
1 cup unsweetened soy milk
1 T mellow yellow miso dissolved in 2 T water (I actually tried mellow brown rice miso in the batch I made the other night - I would prefer the mellow yellow soy miso as it is milder but the brown rice was still tasty, just a bit stronger)
8 oz mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 t old bay seasoning
Heat stockpot with oil in it. Saute the onions and potatoes until browned. Add the stock, kombu, bay leaf, salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and cook until veggies are soft. Remove kombu and bay leaf. Use food processor to puree half of the soup mixture. Return to pot. Add milk, 1/2 t Old Bay and miso and stir until well combined. In a separate pan, heat 2 t oil and add mushrooms and celery. Cook until tender. Sprinkle with 1/2 t Old Bay and stir until well distributed. Serve soup topped with a spoonful of mushroom mixture.

Egg replacement for 1 egg
1 1/4 cups soured soy milk (put 2 T vinegar into a 2 cup glass measuring cup. Add enough soy milk to equal 1 1/4 cups)
2 T canola oil
1 cup flour (I wouldn't recommend whole wheat or whole wheat pastry - it really takes away from the fluffiness of these pancakes)
1 T sugar
2 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
Blueberries, optional
Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Heat griddle pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Sprinkle blueberries on pancakes after ladling onto griddle. Cook just until golden on both sides.

Veggie and Seitan Lo Mein
Veggie Seitan Lo Mein
I really did my own thing for this recipe so I am just going to outline the instructions and include the sauce recipe. I heated oil in a large skillet and added 3 minced cloves of garlic and about 1 cup of half-moon cut onions (I was out of green onions but next time I would use green onions as I like them a lot in Chinese food) and about 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots. After about 5-6 minutes, I added about 1/4 lb of whole green beans. I cooked these veggies until tender. Meanwhile, I cooked a 16oz package of chow mein noodles. Once the veggie mixture was cooked, I poured the sauce on the veggies, heated through and tossed with the noodles. Next time I would double the amount of sauce and have adjusted amounts below to reflect double recipe.

Chinese Broccoli Wontons in Ginger Soy Broth
Chinese Broccoli Wontons in Ginger Soy Broth (Source: Vegan Yum Yum)
(As usual, I modified several things so it's not exactly the recipe in Vegan Yum Yum!)
1 cup chopped broccoli
3/4 cup shredded carrot
1/2 cup chopped scallions
1 T oil
1 t fresh ginger, minced
1 clove fresh minced garlic
1/2 t hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
1 t hot Chinese mustard
2 T plus 1 t soy sauce
4 cups water ( I think this might have been more flavorful had I used vegetable broth or faux chicken broth???)
6 slices fresh ginger
1 T mirin (I used a splash of cooking wine as I didn't have mirin)
1 1/2 t sugar
2 t rice vinegar
1/2 t salt
1/2 cup chopped scallions
16 wonton skins
For filling: Heat oil in skillet and add broccoli, ginger, garlic, carrot, onion and cook until veggies are crisp tender. Add chili sauce, mustard, 1 t soy sauce and stir to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make wontons, take one skin and place in diamond shape. Fill with 1-2 t filling. Fold in half to make a triangle and moisten edges with water and pinch sides to seal. Set triangle in front of you with point up and take the 2 side points and bring them together in front to cross. Set aside and prepare remaining wontons. When finished, place wontons in a steamer basket and steam over pot of boiling water until translucent.
Meanwhile, in a pot, combine remaining ingredients (except wontons) and simmer 10-15 min.
Place 3-4 wontons in bowl and ladle broth over wontons. Serve.
