Vegan eggs that is; eggrolls and eggplant. Last night for dinner we had a tapas style dinner (only in the sense that we had small plates) that included tofu curry eggrolls from Banyan Foods, a Texas family-owned business that sells tofu products. Sorry, they aren't available outside the Lone Star State! These were crispy, not too oily, and had a great curry flavor. John and I both gobbled them up at lightning speed.
And onto the next course, I made Nasu Dengaku (Japanese broiled eggplants with miso) from Fatfree Vegan Kitchen (check out her picture, mine is nowhere near as artistic). I am always on the lookout for eggplant recipes that don't really taste like eggplant. This recipe let the eggplant shine through a little, but the miso sauce was amazing and the toasted sesame seeds added a nice balance. Try this recipe out if you have the chance!

I think your photos look fabulous! Glad you liked the eggplant.
When I visit Texas again, I'm going to look for those eggrolls. They sound great!
The best thing about those eggrolls is that they didn't look saturated in oil (which is so often the case).
I'm always glad to see people reviewing eachother's recipes - I try to keep track of all the winners so I can give them a try too.
Great post - thanks!
Yum! I've been wanting to try that eggplant myself. Glad you liked it! And those egg rolls- wow! Is 2000 miles too long to drive for some egg rolls?
Those eggrolls look great! I've never seen anything besides the packaged tofu from Banyon.
I'm not a fan of eggplant but it looks like yours turned out great.
That eggplant looks fabulous! sooo-right up my alley!
I just had Nasu Dengaku at my favorite Japanese restaurant for lunch the other day. Yours looks delicious- am going to have to try it!
