As with the rest of the world, myself and my family are stuck at home for more than a month because of the Coronavirus pandemic. Being locked in during these long Indian summer days with 2 kids , one young and the other one young at heart :), is enough to try one's patience and ingenuity. As the resident chef, you are expected to rustle up tasty dishes, as a Mom, you make sure that the meals are nutritious and filling. Also as the frugal housewife you have to try and optimally utilize your meagre supplies, both in the kitchen and also in your daily shopping. Some things are simply not available in the shops nowadays.Period. Lastly, I like to wrap up my cooking fast, summers in India are very hot. Oriental style dishes, maybe Chinese style or Thai inspired ones are my 'go to' choice for quick 'n' easy meals. They are light on the palate and digestion, easy to cook and nutritious. I can customise them to suit my needs as well. Thai style dishes specially are similar to Indian cuisines, with their blend of sweet, sour, salty and spicy flavours.This weekend, I was determined to rustle up a fast and easy Oriental style meal for my family, to reduce my kitchen time. I have an old cookbook called 'All Colour Chinese Cookbook' by Hamlyn. It's a second hand book, nearly 30 years old. A gift from my husband, to encourage me on my culinary misadventures:) and of course to reduce his chances of being an unhappy guinea-pig for my experiments. I decided to try out something called 'Thai fried pork balls'. It had fewer ingredients, all easily available, and I could tweak it to my taste. Along with that I would make a soupy veg noodles to add the carbs and veggies for a balanced meal.Yay! Super easy! But.... disaster, there was no meat at all in the freezer! I had ruled out pork anyway, because of the heat and planned to use chicken mince. But I came to know that inspite of ordering 4 days in advance, we still had not received it. Thank you Coronavirus: (Well we had to eat...so as my old schoolteacher once quoted 'Necessity is the mother of invention.'Out chicken mince , soya chunks would save the day. So, I started off with the 'Oriental style meatballs' (without the meat of course).Soya is an excellent source of vegetarian protein and we Indians use it in the chunk, nugget or granular form to add some valuable protein to our mostly vegetarian diets. It is slightly bland in taste so you can blend it into any dish of your choice as a substitute for animal protein.
