vmh@intellicorp.comLunch PackSeveral people have asked for quick lunches that they can just dump in the microwave at work. Here is one that I made just a couple of days ago and really liked:
Note that measures are approximate. I have a lunch plastic container, and I simply fill it all the way.
Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1-2 cups of cooked rice, half of it wild rice, half of it basmati
1 can of slided water chestnuts
1 salad tomato, chopped
Directions:Put into plastice container. Then add:
Ingredients (use vegan versions): sliced fresh mushrooms as necessary to fill the container almost to the rim
Directions:Then dump on top (DO NOT MIX. If you mix it, the rice will be too soggy come lunch time. Mix before nuking):
Ingredients (use vegan versions): 1/2 can of Hunts tomato sauce
black pepper to taste
oregano to taste
Directions:At work, when hunger hits, nuke for 3-5 minutes, depending on the microwave you are using. I like stuff cooked right, so I use 5 minutes to get the tomatoes nice and done.
My tip is to make several at a time in those square freezercontainers and take them to work frozen. That way, you save the work of making one at a time, and avoid the need to refrigerate at work -- they thaw during the morning. just vary the spices in each one.

I was just curious if Hunts tomato sauce is vegan, does anyone know if the sugar used in it is processed with bone-char?
