The second recipe

Hello Ladies and Gentleman, yet another time!

Since I posted how to prepare soy and cook something with it last time around, I figured why not show you people smoething completely "natural". To stick to a certain structure I'll first show you a "basic recipe" and then an "implementation" as we computer science people like to call it.

Let's get this started, shall we?! Wait a minute... I bet you want to know what exactly I have in mind. Well, ...bread dumplings!

Step 1 - Preparing the "dough" (I kind of lack the corect word for it)

For 5 to 6 dumplings I usually fill a big bowl with about 200 to 250 gram (don't pin me down on that) of dried white bread, add 1/2 cup of coarse-grained what flour and 200 ml of soy milk (you can use any other plant milk too of course).
Stir it up a bit aaaand... you're ready for step 2


Step 2 - Shaping the dumplings

That's where the dirty work begins. First prepare a small pile of the coarse-grained wheat flour on a small plate. Then take two handfulls of the bread-flour-milk mix out of the bowl and shape it into a dumpling. Lastly roll the dumpling in the prepared flour so it gets covered in a thin coat of flour and give it a little "pat on the back" so the excess flour gets knocked off.
Rinse and repeat until you've no more "dumpling dough" left.


Step 3 - Cooking the dumplings

If you've managed to get here without making a mess... you've done something wrong. But whether your kitchen looks like a warzone or not, those dumplings need to be finished. Fill a pot with water, add a bit of salt and make it boil. Throw in the dumplings then immediately turn down the heat. After 7-10 minutes they're ready to be eaten.



Alrighty, now that we've got our dumplings why don't we make something to go along with it?

For 3 servings you'll need:

1 cup of mountain lentils (those are the best ones, if you can't get those green lenses will do just fine)
2 1/2 cups of water
2 cups of soy milk (/ any plant milk)
250 g soy cuisine
1 bay leaf
salt & pepper
3 cloves of garlic
some plant oil

First give the lentils in a pot along with the water and boil them until they're soft. Meanwhile cut the garlic into tiny pieces. When the lenses are finished give them in a pan along with the garlic and roast them a bit. Then add the milk and bay leaf and let it boil for a while.


 To finish it off add the cuisine and season it with salt and pepper. Then lastly enjoy your dumplings with "Cream-Lentils".
