According to Cronometer, I don’t get the RDA of vitamin bs. How do I get more vitamin bs without supplementing? Should I just put 5 grams of nutritional yeast on my food daily or should I add more foods? If so, what foods do you recommend that are high in the vitamin b I am missing?

Vegan Kheer or payasam made with Oat Milk and coconut milk

Recipe:

Soak one cup of rice in water for an hour.

Boil 2 cups of oat Milk and 1 cup of coconut milk in a non stick pan.

Keep stirring the milk and scrub the bottom of the pan to clear any milk sticking to the pan.

When the milk is thickened and reduced a little, add the soaked rice.

Continue to cook by stirring until the rice is fully cooked.

And rice grains can no longer be separated from the liquid.

Add more milk in between if the pudding is getting too thick.

Cool down a little. Add sugar as per taste. Sprinkle fresh cardamom powder.

Garnish with chopped pistachios, almonds, cashews, raisins or any other nuts of your choice.

Can be eaten warm or chilled.

Been juggling full time work, grad school, and family members’ health crises, as well as hosting guests from out of town. Was slipping hard into fried food / takeout habits and gaining weight. Today I took time out of my day to make a real lunch - air fried chickpeas, steamed sweet potatoes, and a crunchy cabbage / carrot / apple salad, and feel like a human for the first time in months. If you’re having a hard time with staying consistent due to Life™️, here’s your reminder that you can always get back to it. Good luck out there, y’all 🌱

Went to a vegan Chinese restaurant in St. Johns, Newfoundland called the Peaceful Loft. Owned by a couple from Macau. This dish, which they called a sauce, is made from TVP, ginger, and … I am not sure what else. It is more like a relish and the owner suggested dressing our noodles with it. It was DIVINE and I need to recreate it. Any ideas? There was no garlic or onions.

Amazing Dutch snack... Had to try a plant based version

Sauce:

65g margarine

65g plain flour

450ml boiling water

1 Knorr stockpot

10g dried porcini mushrooms

1/3 nutmeg grated

2tbs parsley finely chopped

Filling:

450g mushrooms finely diced

3 cloves garlic minced

2tsp thyme finely chopped

1tsp salt

1tsp black pepper

1tbs olive oil

Coating:

6 slices bread

1tbs cornflour

3tbs plain flour

Method:

Add the boiling water to the stock cube and porcini mushrooms. Cover with cling film. Hear the margarine and flour over a low heat until a roux forms. Remove the porcini mushrooms from the stock, finely chop, and add to the roux. Add the stock to the roux a little at a time whisking constantly. Once all the stock has been incorporated, add the nutmeg and parsley, bring to a boil for 2 mins, then remove from the heat.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy bottomed pan over a high heat. When the oil is hot add the mushrooms, salt and pepper, and fry until golden. Turn the heat to low and add the garlic and thyme, cook for a minute, then add the mushrooms to the sauce. Pour this mixture into a wide baking tray and put in the fridge until cold.

Blend the slices of bread to get a fine breadcrumb. Put 1tbs flour into a bowl. Put the rest of the flour and the cornflour into another bowl and add enough cold water to make a slurry (should be about as thick as light cream).

Shape the bitterballen into balls then coat in flour, dip in the slurry, roll in breadcrumbs, dip in slurry, then roll again in the breadcrumbs. Put the bitterballen into the freezer.

Deep fry at 180C for 6mins

This is my favorite protein rich vegan smoothie.

Receipe/Ingredients -

Soaked Chia seeds

Soaked oats

Kale

Apple

Avocado

Banana (to make it sweeter)

Garnish with toppings like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, cranberries or any vegan granola or cereal for crunch.

This has become my go to meal. I’m trying out purple potatoes this time. I read that they are very nutritious and help lower blood pressure (which is one of my goals).

For the tofu, I pan fry with a little oil, Kala Namak , garlic, pepper, nutritional yeast and turmeric. Cook for about 5 or 6 mins. Then I throw in kale towards the end and cover for a few minutes to get it slightly soft. For the potatoes I tossed them in safflower oil, seasoned with salt, garlic and pepper and roasted I. The toaster oven for 15 mins.

Recipe in comments!

Stuffed(bharwan) baby eggplant with peanut, cashew and spices based stuffing. A delicious South Indian curry with a long shelf life 😋😋

shifting away from animal products but struggling to find a substitute for my favorite lunch: boiled chicken and veggie dumplings! it's a great cornerstone meal for me because it's easy to load up on cups of greens and fresh veggies as a side for like 8 little dumplings, but switching to a vegan dumpling would get me an animal product free lunch pretty much every single day (i eat this every day 😭)

open to store bought or any recipe that could be made in bulk and frozen!

edit- thanks cool friends for all the lit recommendations!! i didn't find anything searching nearby but it seems that options DO exist. I'll be checking more specialty markets near me and traveling to a bigger city to hit up their Hmart if that fails.
