I was invited to a potluck at work and it's tomorrow! I was too tired to go grocery shopping at work, so I relied on mostly pantry items to make what I will bring. I made two items: inarizushi, and pasta salad.
I was worried I didn't have any food to bring in the fridge.
This is mostly true.
The only fridge ingredients used were: cherry tomatoes. maybe some cheese tomorrow if I feel like it.
The quick and easy recipes:
Inarizushi "beggar's pockets"
1 day old rice (perfect to make sushi rice with)
can of inarizushi tofu skins (separate out seasoned sauce in can to flavor rice)
seaweed (I used the snack packs cuz that's what I had, but any will do)
frozen pea/carrot pkg
cook the rice with some oil, mirin seasoning, rice vinegar, and seasoned sauce from can
add in peas/carrots for color and texture
let cool, then stuff tofu skins from can
cap each "beggar's pocket" with a layer of seaweed to neatly wrap up the package
store in fridge
can be eaten warm or cool
Pasta salad
rotini
1 can palm of hearts
1 can sweet peas
1 can diced olive
garlic flavored olive oil
balsamic vinegar
cherry tomatoes
I cooked rotini in well salted water, drain and cool
then sliced palms of heart and cherry tomatoes to mix with pasta
top with combo of garlic flavored oil oil, diced olives, and balsamic vinegar
add in some fresh basil for color
voila!
also can be eaten warm or cooled
