Going Vegetarian - Day Five
Dinner at Wok-Hay
Today was the fifth day on my vegetarian diet. Another sucky/stressful day at work turned into another trip out to eat. Yay stress! Boo diet! I ordered the Kung Pao Chicken (but substituted Tofu) with steamed brown rice.
This is the best tofu I've had so far and I really like it. Instead of spongy cubes (Shono's) or crispy cubes (Stir Fry), Wok-Hay slices the tofu fairly thin and crisps it up really well. The vegetables, especially the snow peas, were quite good - just the right texture. The heat of this dish was a little on the light side; I'll probably ask for them to spice it up a bit next time, and there definitely will be a next time since this restaurant is close enough for lunch at work and on the way home from work.
I'm really enjoying tofu. I can definitely see that preparation is key, though.
