 Made some vegan corned beef using both frozen semi-firm tofu & regular refrigerated extra-firm tofu. Purple potatoes & carrots were from the farmers market, and the cabbage came from a coleslaw package I had left over. I did use one beet to "color" the water but I wasn't happy with the results so I added red food coloring... which still didn't do much. Unfortunately I ran out of time to eat this so the entire batch I made will be delegated to meal prep for the week.

We've been cooking a bit, again.  Recent asian inspired meal, roasted eggplant and zucchini at 425 for about 45 minutes with a simple ponzu sauce, + dumplings and sweet brown rice.  Hamantashen! Used a shortbread recipe for the dough and it worked perfectly. Didn't love the pb & chocolate ones this time.  Mediterranean lentil soup, I'd say it came out almost Lebanese. Paired it with the Mediterranean salad below, plus some homemade pita chips sprinkled with zaatar.   Recent taco bowls, basically a staple.  our beloved instant pot minestrone:  pasta marinara with roasted eggplant & red onion, and a kalmata hummus mixed into the sauce to make it basically a creamy sauce.  home ramen bowls - nong shim makes plenty of vegan ones lately (thankfully). + kale/baked tofu  we made a pea spread to go with tempeh sandwiches, and it was delish.  Tonight I plan for black bean& plantain bowls.

Good poo poo. What’s the protein here? (I’m assuming that’s what the red stuff is)

Specifically very similar to this (chorizo lentils) or I see someone reproduced the soy chorizo here, so I'll absolutely be testing that recipe/customizing as none of my family do much of this style with allspice or cinnamon, but absolutely cook with the rest.

 Made soondubu jijgae for the week. My alteration was cooking the king oyster mushrooms & the zucchini separately by scoring them then searing it in a cast iron pan, which in the end was honestly for looks. This was just a quick plating for internet pictures; a lot more was put into containers for work.

That looks amaaaaaazing. Lots of other good stuff on this page too. I've been extremely sick for a couple weeks so not much cooking, but before that I made some Sri Lankan food: Cauliflower  Green onion stir fry  Masoor dal  Okra  Fried rice

drk posted:thanks for this Don't judge? Hell, that sounds delicious to me. I'm onboard the pineapple train.  I would skip the jalapenos due to how they seasoned the rest though. I use this for making taco mix - I find it pretty reliable, make a double batch to last a while. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/46653/taco-seasoning-i/ , skipping red pepper flakes and doing half black pepper depending on if you like the taste of the ones you have. notwithoutmyanus fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Mar 28, 2024 |

My partner made some home-made sunflower seed tofu based off this recipe and I HIGHLY recommend it. Without anything other than a light frying in salted oil (eaten in a general stir fry), they gave a wonderfully nutty, almost beefy taste. VERY good.

Note they also link to a gremolata recipe that mixes with it and absolutely makes the soup amazing. For that I use our extra small 2 cup food processor to blend everything. The gremolata is awesome on its own and mixes with tons of dishes.

As usual, cooking and cooking and cooking! A black bean bowl with roasted plantains and garlic rice :    Very hardy lentil pasta with crumbled tvp sausage and pecan Parmesan on top. Intentionally high protein/ultra filling.  Roasted red pepper soup, a total family fave.   And: rice wraps (nearly spring rolls) with julienned carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumber, green onions, cilantro , baked tofu and a special and extremely delicious miso sauce. We swap the ginger for powdered for simplicity of recipe/lighten the ginger strength. Our daughter loves this food combo because she can make her own wraps and will make a fruit inspired one with banana and peanut butter inside. This time she liked it enough to make a regular one (blue shirt cameo, she was proud!  ). We use basically any thai rice wraps that we're happy with from medium size to large, round or square. We grab a giant dinner plate and fill it with water to soak the wraps.

I've had slowly worsening lactose intolerance and am very nearly a vegan now. I've been craving a good mac and cheese and found a pretty good recipe. Uses nutrtional yeast, vegan parm, and roasted garlic for flavor, roux (almond + coconut milk) for consistency.

I'm a fan of using cashews & cashew milk when doing vegan mac & cheese… or in my case, cauliflower & cheese. Gets the creaminess dairy would normally provide.

It's delicious, but it ended up being too much on a sickly tummy. Still, definitely saving it for a literal rainy day when I'm not sick. This is a ways back now but I'm new to the thread. I made this peanut stew today and it's really really good, wow. I put 5 or 6 of those little red Thai chili peppers in it and it's got a real nice kick. Just wanted to say thanks for posting it!

Looking super good ! But yeah, the box doesn't improve the process unless it's all you have available. I store my sprouts immersed in water in the fridge, so I've just been sprouting them in the container I store them in.

Bollock Monkey posted:This sounds really dim, but where do you get the beans that you then sprout? I happen to live within walking distance of two Asian grocery stores. The mung beans are green and you just have to make sure they're the whole bean, not split beans. They can typically be found in the dry goods aisle of the store next to the bags of rice, beans, nuts, and dried tofu. Edit 2: wow, one of my grocery stores has a website and it says 'products coming soon' http://shuanghur.com/ Here's an example on Amazon: Jiva Organic Mung Bean - Mung Moong Beens Whole for Sprouting and Cooking - 2 lb Bean Bag – Indian Spices https://a.co/d/2Obxhbl Edit: I think they may sell them at Whole Foods grocery stores as well, maybe also Lunds & Byerlys in the ethnic food aisle next to beans and rice, but I have not otherwise found them at traditional American/Minnesota grocery stores. Edit 3: I have sprouted them in a jar and the carton method, but I've decided I don't like eating the roots, so I cut them off, and I have found this method the fastest way to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrkBqRK64TY Ulillinguist fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Apr 5, 2024 |

I grew up eating a dried mung bean stew called Ginisang Munggo (mung bean soup) that IMO was one of my favorite Filipino dishes. Granted, it was made with pork but I don't see an issue with making a vegan version with by replacing the meat with appropriate substitutions. If anything the tougher thing is acquiring malunggay leaves, though I have seen it in the frozen section of Asian grocery stores (and spinach can work in a pinch).

I live in a small, not particularly well-serviced town, but my local grocery store (Coles) has decent Asian section, and I just get them there.

Just think about how all the seeds you buy at the nursery or whatever are dried, and yet you can grow plants from them. Same deal with beans, cuz beans are seeds!

Yeah, fair point. I think I just assumed supermarket dried would be, I dunno, treated with growth inhibitors or really old or who fuckin' knows. Perhaps I will sproot.

Once dried, seeds need to become wet again to sprout, so the packaging takes care of that. Viability does decrease over time, but that takes years to be a problem. In the US at least, generally it's as you imagine: if you're is trying to grow plants from supermarket vegetables, you do run the risk that they're not viable when they're not organic (e.g., they may have been irradiated to increase shelf life).

I've reached the point where I cook my chickpeas from dry in the instant pot, I make my own tahini from sesame seeds, and make my own hummus with those (for probably 10x cheaper than store-bought). Ngl I'm kind of proud of myself.
