Vegetarian Food Thread

DucatiHoney said:
I'm glad we have a good understanding of one another. I look forward to your anti-plant thoughts in another thread, not this one, should you choose to debate the topic.

Thank you

I would not want to risk another thread being subject to a "disrespectful attack on the fundamental values" of it.

This wasn't a thread about being vegetarian or how it's good for you. It's a thread about sharing vegetarian dishes/recipes with each other. Similar to the BBQ/non-BBQ threads.

That's why it was suggested you start a separate thread to discuss your views and have discourse.

I apologize. The thread title did not lead me to believe the topic was narrowly confined to posting vegetarian recipes. But I did learn that it's OK to eat fish, presumably because they don't have feelings. And this topic makes some people sad. And I even skipped some of the thread... :)
 
Start your other threa. I'm genuinely curious about it. Not enough to look it up for myself, but am intrigued by the concept, as insane as it sounds.

Still waiting for the brussels sprout recipe. I had them last night, roasted with some balsamic drizzled on top.

All good :Port

Start the other thread. I, like Brokenlink am semi-curious.
 
You folks looking for some ideas should check out Yeung Man Cooking on Youtube.

He's got a ton of cool recipes that are pretty easy to make.

Right on. I'll bet that sesame oil really pulls it together.

Question: sometimes when I cook stuff in sesame oil it has a weird taste to it after a day or so, like it's gone rancid. Anyone else notice this? Am I not supposed to cook with it? Just use a more neutral cooking oil and then drizzle the sesame on later?

I don't know but it doesn't surprise me. I recently read a book about olive oil and the scam that 99% of the olive oil that we buy is. One take home message is to not bother cooking with olive oil because even at fairly low temps, the head destroys any aroma and flavor compounds. So basically cook with a cheaper, higher smoke point oil and add good olive oil as seasoning.

That said, I don't know much about sesame oil

I fry up the brussels sprouts in bacon fat. Seed oil might not be good for us either.

Any jackfruit fans here?

My wife uses it in place of chicken sometimes and it tastes amazing!

I like jackfuit for it's texture, and as a substrate for flavor, but don't think that it tastes particularly good on it's own. An Indonesian restaurant that I used to go to had an amazing jackfruit Rendang, but subsequent tastings of jackfruit in different dishes have been only alright, to disappointing.
 
I agree, Jackfruit tastes good only in heavily spiced entrees like Jamaican Jerk Chicken/Jackfruit, or Indian curries. The "meat" by itself is bland and not very tasty.

Bacon fat is also my go to for brussels sprouts.

Thinking back to all the times i cooked with sesame oil, i can't remember ever 'frying' with it. It's usually just mixed in a sauce that comes in at the end to finish the dish.

Good to know. I suspect that I've just been doing it wrong all this time. Asian and Indian foods fascinate me, but they sometimes require an advanced level of cooking knowledge--or at least knowledge different from what I received growing up. My mom can't cook any rice beyond Uncle Ben's. I rely solely on my rice cooker.
 
So i made the recipe i posted up. I left out the dried chili's since i didn't have any. I just added some red pepper flakes instead.

I feel i could have let the sauce thicken more, and used less of it. But I like saucey so i used it all.

Mrs Cabrito has been making this for a while for our camping trips and sometimes at home.
It's a Tofu scramble that is freaking delicious. Basically just crumble up the Tofu, add some turmeric for color, season, add some veggies, like Broccoli, ect. Needs no cooking. Freeze it and take it camping. We make breakfast burritos, scramble with home fries, and this past weekend made breakfast tacos - with Vegan sour cream, salsa, avocado, and that's it. Heats up super fast and easy. You could also eat it cold on a salad.
