Thank you for checking out our products! Below is a list of products we carry - typically you will see "featured products" right away that we have on special, and then a category tree on the side to browse specific products. If you're not logged in yet, clicking "add to order" will cause you to be redirected to a login screen - we require that you setup a customer profile before you can actually order. Once you've setup a customer profile, you can easily add items to either your current week order or your "recurring items" order using the delivery options dropdown - here is a quick overview:
Please take the time to read this, it will make your ordering experience more fun!
- Choosing "one time only" tells the system a couple of things:
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based
on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system
you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your
delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for
order changes hasn't passed already)
How do you tell if you have a current order for this week? When you click view/edit my order tab, you will see the products and table rows either have a white background (current week order) or a green background (recurring order items) - or it will say you have no order at all. The other way to easily tell is the header in the products listing on your order page will either say "Current order for 10/12/08" or it will say "Recurring order".
- If your delivery date has already passed this week, or your cut-off
time for editing orders has passed, then choosing this option will add
the item to your recurring order. The item will show up on your
next week order, and then be dropped automatically from the recurring
items you'd like to receive.
- If you already have an order generated for the current week (based
on your recurring order) then choosing this option will tell the system
you'd like the product this week. (of course, this assumes your
delivery date hasn't passed already, and that your cut-off time for
order changes hasn't passed already)
- Choosing "every week" tells the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product each week.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or
cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring
order to be generated the next week, and will remain in your recurring
order each week until you take it out.
- Choosing "every other week odd" or even (the current week is
highlighted), will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product on the week of your choosing.
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is odd or even of course), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
- Choosing "once per month" option will tell the system:
- If you already have a current week order, that you'd like to add it to both the current week, and the recurring order items so that you continue to receive the product once per month (on the first delivery of each month you will receive the product).
- If you do not have a current week order, or your order date or cut-off time has already passed, it simply adds it to your recurring order to be generated the next week (depending on if next week is the first order for you of the month), and will remain in your recurring order until you take it out.
When you click "add to order" you will get a confirmation that the item was added to your order - you can view the order summary at any time by clicking the "view/edit" order tab. Happy ordering!

Have you tried chili crisp yet? There are many variations of chili crisp and chili oil on the market, and Blank Slate crafts theirs right here in New York state! This is how they describe their chili oil: "Tingly, numbing, nuanced, complex, and of course spicy; made with a dozen spices and aromatics, chiles and freshly ground Sichuan peppercorns. This authentic Chinese condiment has a medium heat level and a numbing, tingling sensation on the tongue from the Sichuan peppercorns that accents the hot chilis. Our Sichuan Chili Oil offers layers and layers of flavor, not just heat." We can't wait for you to try this condiment that can go on such a wide variety of foods. In this case, you can combine it with soy sauce or tamari that is also handcrafted here in New York state to make the perfect sauce for crispy tofu! The sauce is so flavorful that this will definitely be a regular meal in your rotation.
NOTE: Many tofu recipes will instruct you to cut the tofu into cubes. However, if you tear your tofu into chunks, the jagged edges will have more surface area to get crispy in the oven. (Alternatively, feel free to use your air fryer instead of the oven!)
Roasted broccoli, green beans, or bok choy with a splash of oil, soy sauce, and minced garlic makes a perfect side dish for this meal.
Serves 2.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb extra firm tofu (if you don't like tofu, you can substitute chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 1 tbsp Wan Ja Shan soy sauce or gluten free tamari
- 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil (canola or sunflower oil) or sesame oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chili crisp or chili oil (if you like your food on the spicier side, you can always add more at the table!)
- 2 tbsp tahini or peanut butter (optional but useful if you enjoy sauces that are a bit milder and creamier)
- 2-3 scallions, chopped (optional)
- 1 cup rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- Sichuan kraut for topping (optional - great to put a tablespoon or two on the side of your rice bowl for some extra gut health-boosting benefits!)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Tear tofu in bite-sized pieces and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with oil and toss gently to coat the tofu pieces. Then, dust with cornstarch or arrowroot powder and toss gently again to coat. Spread tofu pieces out on baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until desired crispiness.
- While the tofu is baking, cook rice according to package directions. (For our basmati rice, use 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water. Combine in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, then set lower heat to a simmer, covered, for 12 minutes.)
- Finally, prepare your sauce by whisking together soy sauce, chili crisp, garlic, honey, and tahini or peanut butter (if using).
- When tofu is about 5-7 minutes from being done, remove it from the oven, drizzle the tofu pieces with sauce, and toss to coat on the baking sheet. Return to the oven to finish baking.
- Divide rice into bowls and top with crispy tofu. Garnish with scallions and sichuan kraut if desired. Enjoy!
