 https://thefoodietakesflight.com/vegan-pad-thai/#wprm-recipe-container-10979 (there is a vegan recipe for the fish sauce in the recipe) so the verdict on this one was that it was a really good noodle dish, but not a great pad thai dish.  not enough peanut-y. a little too acidic.  less or no lime in the sauce perhaps, more sugar? Next time scatter more crushed peanuts when sauteing.  Not peanuty enough. 

 https://thefoodietakesflight.com/vegan-kung-pao-tofu/#wprm-recipe-container-7208 this was so good, and it made the whole of our mouths numb.  Not from being hot, but a very unique flavour.  Defo make again! I used 1 tsp of the chilli powder  So my chinese friend told me that there are 2 types of chinese chilli flavour.  One is spicy, the other is numbing.  Szechuan peppercorns/powder are numbing.  I told him i cooked this and that our mouths got all tingly and he laughed and said that was the desired effect, so success!

Accompaniments were sauteed in sesame oil sprinkled with sesame seeds - bean sprouts - julienned carrots - shitake mushrooms - corn kernels topped with shallots and a soft boiled egg
