i'm experimenting with freeganism, and made this tonight for dinner, completely ignoring every dim sum rule it's not dim sum, but a dim sum-like quick food that's cheap and easy, okay? dig some dinner rolls out of the trash, or make monsanto happy if that's easier steam 4 lightly, a little more for staleness split open dig a bag of cole slaw mix out of the garbage, or fatten cargill's coffers if you must oil, this is a serious problem for the freegan, so cheat if you must [i did] stir-fry your veg a bit, with garlic and ginger [if you have 'em], or . . . . . . .dig some gourmet garden thai spice goop out of the garbage like me! [note: the gourmet garden crap may not be vegan, check labels - and never buy this stuff] add some soy sauce near the end [another necessary cheat] pile onto the bottom halves of the rolls, stick the tops on, squeeze a bit [not as bad as i thought they were going to be, let me know if you try this one] edit: when i 'invented' this recipe yesterday, i didn't steam the rolls, that occurred to me while i was eating them, so i added that step while typing - however it occurs to me this morning that it might be better to cut first, steam second . . .
Oil...yes..very valuable. I once scored a giant institutional size, I dunno, 4 gallon can of name brand extra virgin olive oil from a dumpster near a large restaurant supply warehouse..looked like someone ran into a pallet with the forklift, lucky for me! hahaha... ...shoulda seen me toting that leaky sucker home on my bicycle!

zombiewolf, dude, you rock i've got to try harder, a lazy freegan is a hungry freegan now you can write an article on new ways to grease a bike chain . . .
I didn't know there was even such a thing as "freeganism". But I'm pretty sure I did it when I forgot my groceries at work the other day and had to find sustenance on my way home. An unripe spaghetti squash, green tomatoes, and apples. Steamed em up, pretty damn good, actually. It was the apples that made it. Called it "monk food". One meal, pretty good, as a lifestyle, wow, if you can do this on a daily basis, my utmost respect to you, if I had found roadkill I probibly would have ate it.
I actually looked up 'freeganism' upon finishing the first comment! It even has a wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeganism
Dim sum. There's one of these in Vienna but I think we call it Yum-Cha. Always tastes good, love the squid and fried pork but rarely will it sit well in tummy.
