Hubbs and I try not to eat out a lot. Here in NY eating out can happen a lot and is so convenient that you're eating out before you even think about it. Unfortunately, with our busy schedules, sometimes it's unavoidable. Thankfully we have this place in the neighborhood that delivers right to our apartment. It's called Zen Vegetarian House. It's an Asian Fusion restaurant that has pretty tasty food, you just have to watch out for the overly fried stuff. Hubbs being from a tropical place right on the water loves everything to do with fish. Even vegetarian fish (I know it doesn't seem to make sense, but it tastes very realistic). So he ordered the Shrimp Pad Thai and I ordered the Sesame Chicken. I'ev used the vegan shrimp before in recipes I've made at home, so I know how tasty it is, and that was my suggestion for the Hubby to order. He loved it!
I used to absolutely love the sesame chicken offered at Chinese restaurants back in Michigan when I wasn't vegetarian. I've tried to make the sauce several times and serve it over seitan, but it isn't exactly the same thing. However, when I ordered it for the first time at Zen, I was amazed that it tasted exactly like what I remembered it tasting all those years ago. So, that's another challenge I think I should take on coming up - figuring out how to make sesame sauce so I can make my own vegan sesame chicken using the soy chicken I buy at May Wah in Chinatown. The best place ever - check it out!
