Instructions:
out the seam. Steam 30 minutes let cool 10 minutes slice and serve. Note: you MUST have a steamer wide enough to support the entire roll from underneath! If you don't it will slip and come unrolled. It'll still get cooked but rather than a pretty colorful roll to slice you'll have a serious mess. This shouldn't be a problem but for a broke person cooking for nine @someone else's apartment these harware problems have a nasty way of only becoming apparently an hour before mealtime. (sigh) CIMA MIX: (makes 4 1/2C Bro Ron suggests using the extra for 'meatballs' or something. Far be it from me to argue w/my hero but remember to use a big enough skillet.) Saute onions in oil until translucent. Remove from heat. Add bread crumbs tofu seitan soy grits nut yeast water and seasoning. Mix until evenly dispersed. Add vegs and nuts. In a separate bowl mix agar and gluten flour. Heat lecithin and stir into veg mixture then stir in flour/agar mixture. (from Friendly Foods serves 4) From: mad4@ellis.uchicago.edu (Bill Maddex)
