I like Israeli couscous as kind of a pasta salad thing, mostly because unlike regular couscous, it will stay on a goddamn fork. It's good as a Greek salad thing with tomatoes, onions, olives, peppers, etc. It's also good with honey (if you use it) and pomegranate molasses with diced dried fruits (raisins, apricots, prunes, etc) toasted almonds, thyme, etc. You could do something with it and sundried tomatoes, basil, basalmic vinegar and oil, preserved lemon. It's pretty neutral so just do what you'd do with couscous, just cut the other ingredients larger. Make tabbouleh, just bigger tabbouleh. Like, just a vegan butter/oil and lemon sauce would be nice, add whatever herbs are around. It's basically pasta.

Important to note that hing while delicious smells terrible until it's cooked and you should keep it in a sealed container or it'll stink up your whole spice area. It's not a "wow I found cute magnetic spice containers that live on the fridge" thing it's a "wow I found a bunker from the cold war and no one seems to be using it" thing.

I buy mushrooms at the farmer's market from this lady: https://www.instagram.com/kellysgourmetmushrooms/ You could see if you have a similar mushroom lady somewhere in town. Blue oyster are very nice and pretty much an all-rounder; I've never liked button mushrooms. Her lion's mane mushrooms are also nice. She sells straw logs inoculated with spores for $20 or something, apparently they produce for 2 months with "no smell or mess" but I would kill them in a week, if that, so. Might be fun if you have kids and a green thumb.

cheetah7071 posted:I have a large variety of noodles I bought when I was thinking "I'll make a lot of noodle stir-fries!" and then never used because my first stir fry attempts did not turn out well My usual "asianesque" stir fry sauce is totasted sesame oil, black vinegar, garlic, ginger, shaoxing rice wine, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and whatever hot sauce (lao gan ma/sambal olek/sriracha) - it works with most things and the only caveat is that if you use it with everything it all tastes the same. Garnish is pretty easy and makes a lazy meal less depressing. You can trim and plant green onions and they'll come back up, smash some roasted peanuts in a ziplock while picturing your problem on it. A container of vegan furikake would be nice too.

If you generally like miso, it's a pretty good addition to kale chips in addition to nooch.

While not everyone's favorite, I've always liked TVP. I think it depends on what you want to make, it's versatile and what you're cooking is going to change the way you prepare it.

Lady Disdain posted:I have a bring-a-plate thing coming up for work. My go to is generally pearl couscous salad for potlucks. It's easy, infinitely versatile, and keeps well without getting soggy (you could dress it at work if you want but it's better with a little time to sit in the dressing, even better if you can give it a few quick stirs through the morning.) You could use regular couscous but if it's a standing event that just gets messy.

Lady Disdain posted:I have decided to do this, thanks. Do you have a particular recipe you'd recommend, before I go and wing it ? I usually wing it. Veg quality is important and fresh herbs work best. https://plantbasedonabudget.com/israeli-couscous-salad/ covers the basics of what I usually do (I think toasting the couscous is important) although you can use whatever veg you've got, add some vegan feta/cheese if you like. These salads often skew mediterranean but I've made a vegan wedding pilaf pearl couscous salad (raisins/dates, toasted almonds/pistachio, etc. with spices of choice.)
