Ingredients:
- wonton wrappers
- TVP (soaked and marinated) crumble, sprinkled with Nutritional yeast – I added a bit of garlic salt and pepper 
- sauteed mushrooms, chopped
- fresh cut herds, chopped
(mixed these three together: TVP, mushrooms, herbs)
- carrots, pealed ribbons
- mushrooms sliced thinly
- green onion, sliced
- garlic, sliced
- vegetable brother (I made my mine with clippings of other veggies and lighting heating in water – and then draining to veggies (compost) – use broth)
- bragg’s amino acids (add to broth)
- olive oil
- a bit of water – (sealing wonton wraps together)
Directions:
I use a wok, but a soup pot will do fine. I first add the veggie broth and some water.. then bragg’s…. once it’s hot.. get’n to a boil.. I add veggies.. (all.. onion, mushrooms, carrots… so on).. but not the wontons,
then add the wontons, when boil begins.. once added, lower heat to low… cover and cook for 10-15 minutes. DO NOT OVER HEAT! (the wontons will break)
Enjoy!

Excellent cold Quinoa Salad with Veggies
24 Sep 2011 Leave a Comment
Cooking quinoa:
(1 cup quinoa = 1 cup water)
combine water and quinoa (I add a bit of olive oil, salt and vegan “beef” bouillon)
wait for the pot to start to boil, stir, cover, turn down and simmer for 35 minutes. release lid and let cool down by it’s self.. once you can handle it, fluff and continue to cool (refrigerate)
Chopped Veggies:
yesterdays: chopped up broccoli, carrots, red onion, cucumber, red apple..
you may also add: corn, beans… and other veggies that you might have/like
Once the quinoa has cooled.. (an hour or so) combine the veggies and quinoa and add a bit (1/3 cup) of Safflower OIl (my favorite), or olive, grapeseed, sunflower oil) and salt’n it..
I use Pink Mineral salt from the Himalaya’s – La Seirra Natural Food store
also, I season the veggies (prior to adding the quinoa) with a mixture of dry organic spices:
mustard, celery seed, garlic, onion, chili pepper and blank pepper
thanks for trying it..

Little side note: qunioa is in the spinach family not grain..
