SESAME SRIRACHA BEYOND MEAT ~ NINJA STYLE

© 2024 Wicked Foods Inc. All rights reserved.

If we don’t we’re gonna go crazy!  Gotta feed this creative spark and be wicked smart about what we eat at the same time.  Heck if it tastes good we’re going for it! We will discover and enjoy, if it’s not harming anyone and no one is allergic then who the heck cares.  We keep in mind that this is indulging  and we’re gonna surround the wicked bad, bad dish with tons of good, good things like veggies, steamed Broccoli, steamed rice, fresh herbs and even some edamame dumplings.  We’ll also wash it down with a micro brew from down the street.

If this recipe was rated  I’d say it’s for the advanced cook.  We’re not big fans of frying things in oil allot and i’m sure there is a way to get around it.  We didn’t go that route with this one.

This is a Friday Night meal.  Date night written all over it!  Don’t forget the Ninja Squirrel.
