Vegan Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with a Stuffed Tomato

 

I know the the 4th is a big burger and dog holiday but when you got a craving you got a craving and  tonight is was buffalo chicken. I still used the grill in the making so its all gooder and that makes the flavors really come out of the buffalo sauce. I came up with this mock broccoli rabe on my own and it came out awesome. You can find my buffalo sauce recipe here, my bun recipe can found here, my ranch can be found here.

Here is what you need

Buffalo Chicken 

3 Delight Soy Chicken patties

3-4 cups my buffalo sauce 

Marinate the chicken the on the stove top  for about and hour the hit on the a hot oiled grill for 5 min aside

Broccoli Rabe  (my version)

1/2 cup broccoli florets frozen chopped

2 cups or half a bag frozen baby spinach 

1/2 onion sliced

1 tsp oil 

Satuee every thing together and keep warm till served 

Stuffed Tomato

2 large tomatoes

1 bag steamed rice 

1 tbsp minced garlic 

1 Tbsp black pepper

Salt to taste 

1 pinch of turmeric 

Steam the rice and and the add the rest of ingredients let rest. Now I added to much salt this is how you deal with that is add a little chopped onion that will mellow the salt. The tomato needs washed cut the top off and de-gut the seeds making sure you don't break the sides. Stuff the rice mixture tightly inside bake at 425 for 30-45 min till done.

Now to build start with the ranch on the bottom then the chicken then the rabe. Plate them and have a great 4th.

Have Fun and Enjoy.

Vegan Buffalo Chicken Spring Roll with Pineapple Fried Rice

The best thing about my job is when I want to unplug from the world I can just shut the cb radio off ignore the iphone and think about whats gonna be on the menu for supper. Last night for some reason spring rolls popped into my little brain so I wanted to spice it up a little, why not buffalo style that sucker up. I had to call the wife at 4 am to tell her my idea (don't worry she is used to me calling at all hours of the night for stupid reasons).
To start we need to make a batch of my buffalo wing sauce which is found here, after we get that going we need to make the ranch for dipping it can also found here. Now that the sauces are made add some chicken into the picture today we are using 2 patties from Delight Soy these patties are out of the world, let them marinate for 2-4 hours in the buffalo sauce. Bring a small pot of water to a boil add 1/3 of the package of the rice sticks and remove from heat let sit for 10 min, mix with 2-4 tbs of the buffalo sauce makes about 2 cups.

Buffalo Chicken Spring Rolls

1-2 carrots sliced very thin

1-2 stalks of celery sliced very thin

2 marinated Delight Soy chicken patties sliced very thin

1 package alfalfa sprouts

2 cups prepared rice sticks

1 package spring roll wrappers (you will not use them all)

1 pan of room temp water (make sure the whole dry wrapper fit in it)

Once you have this all collected up have yourself a nice big staging area, start by dipping the wrapper into the water let soak for 30 to 45 seconds if you go to long it gets hard to work with. lay the soaked wrapper out and start with alfalfa sprouts, then 2-3 slices carrots and celery, then 2-3 slices of the chicken top it off with the rice sticks.

Now the rolling part its as easy as 1-2-3-4-5

step 1 fold the top down

step 2 fold the right side

step 3 fold the left side

step 4 roll tightly towards you

step 5 repeat till all ingredients are gone

The pineapple fried rice is just like my rice found here with addition of dice pineapple so very easy. Now plate it up and enjoy.
