Vegetable-arianism

There's one amino acid (phenylalanine) that he can't have, so he takes 140 capsules a day that give him the rest of the amino acids.

Yeah, we use an iron skillet for my tofu, and that works pretty well. There are some really yummy indian sauces available that are vegetarian, and I really like those with tofu.

Stir-fry with steamed rice is about as quick and staple-ish as it can get. If you have a rice cooker just throw that on when you get home and then the stir fry wont take more than 10 minutes once you are ready to eat. Experiment with sauce combinations to find something you like and it will provide many an easy meal.

Invest in a decent small wok.

Also, if you can enjoy just eating a sald, play with those as they are easy. In the tofu section you will find options beyond just plain white tofu. For salads I really like smoked tofu (has the consistency of a semi-soft cheese) cubed and tossed.

I don't have a rice steamer. I need to get one. I did discover that 1/8 cup maple syrup + 1/8 cup tamari = teriyaki sauce!

I really need to do that. All the ones I've seen are non-stick, which I don't cook with (and neither will any of you eventually, as teflon is being phased out).

I do enjoy eating a salad at any time of day, unfortunately, I live with a man who has never had a salad and will not eat any raw veggies (also no codiments and nothing pickled, but those are another story) or fruit of any kind. Did I mention being vegan is especially difficult cooking for him? Of course, I don't have to cook for him, but if I don't he'll just eat ramen.
