HelloFresh<\/a> does not have many vegan meals, so I was happy to find this recipe for\u00a0Sesame-Crusted Tofu with Spicy Peanut Butter Sauce & Garlic Bok Choy<\/a> that I could hack for my vegan daughter.\u00a0 While it wasn’t a complete dinner – we have yet to find a way to make tofu taste like anything but tofu, outside of deep frying it -, my daughter loved the peanut sauce and enjoyed the coconut rice, I’ll be making both of those again (see recipes below).\u00a0 \u00a0She hadn’t had bok choy before, and she won’t again – she found this vegetable utterly tasteless, even with the peanut sauce.\u00a0 Fortunately, there was extra broccoli from our meal<\/a> for her to eat.\u00a0 \u00a0Most importantly, she totally appreciated that I made her food.\u00a0 Given that she’s the only vegan in the family, she often is on her own as far as cooking goes, so any time I cook for her it’s a treat.<\/p>\n

Making this meal at home was rather cheap, as most of the ingredients are those you are likely to have in your pantry (peanut butter, rice, soy and hot sauce, sesame seeds), and those you don’t are cheap to buy.\u00a0 In all, I spent under $6.50 in this meal for two people.\u00a0 HelloFresh charges $20-$24 for the same food.<\/p>\n
