Ideas for Tempeh?

My girlfriend is vegetarian and she loves tempeh but I just cant get used to it. I still eat meat occasionally but I love tofu and the meat substitutes so when I cook I usually just make vegetarian meals. I would like to add tempeh to more dishes but I need more ideas to make it taste better.

My Minestrone Version

When I crave for Olive Garden’s minestrone soup, I just make this at home now. I use what I have available and items I usually stock up on as a pantry staple. However this time, I added spaghetti noodles. Otherwise I usually enjoy it with crackers. I like sticking to organic raw vegetables too. 🍜 🥣 🍲

• tri mix of beans 🫘
• canned tomatoes 🥫 🍅 ( subbed with a little spaghetti sauce and ketchup bc I didn’t have any ) 🥲
• frozen vegetables- prefer green beans
• sliced cabbage 🥬
• vegetarian soup bouillon
• seasonings ( Italian, garlic, onion, fresh garlic, tumeric, pepper) I don’t really add much salt bc the bouillon
• onions 🧅
• carrots 🥕
• fresh cilantro 🌿 but I subbed with arugula bc didn’t have any
• celery

Any other ideas of those little « dishes »?

I was at a French friend’s house, and they prepared those little « dishes ». From where I am coming from this doesn’t exist, like it’s not really a meal, it’s not really cooking but together it’s literally enough (I was clearly not hungry after that) and he still prepared a meal after that … I was passing out (impossible for me to sit I needed to lay after). So they gave me a lot of ideas, I will do them again (such as the cold quiches, with zucchini and chevre cheese and chorizo, if someone want it I can give the recipe, there is also kind of « ham roulé » and they rolled white cheese inside chicken ham, very addictive food)

so thinking back on that moment, do you have in your country this type of small dishes, if yes what type and could you share the recipe please?? Thanks all!!

Best sauce for garden/tri-color rotini?

Okay, so, I have POTS. Meaning I need to consume a lot of sodium. I love garden rotini pasta, but eating it with just salt and black pepper gets boring. I want a sauce I can add to it to change things up. I have a list of options, and I would like opinions on which one goes best with it (preferably from personal experience, not just what you think might taste good with it, something you know tastes good with it because you’ve tried it). I do already have specific brands picked out, mostly because I have very limited options, so I am only listing the specific flavors/types. And, to be clear, I only want recommendations that are on my list; If the sauce is not on my list, I have no interest in it due to either dietary restrictions or personal taste/preference. I know that not all of them are high in sodium, and that’s fine, as I can add as much salt as I want, and I heavily salt my pasta water to the point that most people wouldn’t touch my pasta because it’s so intensely salty and they couldn’t handle it:

-Regular soy sauce
-Sweet soy sauce
-Original BBQ sauce
-Thai sweet chili sauce
-Teriyaki sauce
-Hoisin sauce

Thanks in advance!

Homemade Charnamrit for Navratri Puja

As Navratri is coming I’m sharing my way of making charnamrit which is essential part of Puja.
I take cold milk and mix in sugar first, then add chironji and lightly crushed makhana. After that I add tulsi leaves, a little honey, Gangajal, grated dry coconut and a teaspoon of melted desi ghee. Finally I mix in curd gently. It comes together very quickly and is best served fresh as prasad after the puja.

What vegetarian meal do you make so often you could basically cook it with your eyes closed?

I’m trying to build up a bigger rotation of vegetarian meals that are actually worth repeating, instead of recipes you make once and never bother with again.

What’s the meal you’ve made so many times that you could basically cook it on autopilot now?

Bonus points if it’s cheap, high protein, good for leftovers, or uses pretty normal ingredients.

Mine always seem to end up being the simple ones rather than anything fancy 😅

authentic italian recipes (not "veganized")

hey y'all!
I'm really interested in expanding my knowledge of italian cooking. I'm looking for some "authentic" recipes (so not like a bastardized American version) but also ones that are traditionally vegan. IE i'm not interested in making a dish that normally has meat & cheese with vegan meat & vegan cheese, but something that historically is already "accidentally" vegan. thank you!!

Do you have a recipe for that dish??

I was eating this dish a lot during my trip in Hungary, but only outside! I went to a lot of people’s places and never I saw people cooking this! Back to my place now, I want to try and cook it at home!! I got the advice to buy sour cream from a special shop but I have no clue about the rest of the ingredients!

I would love to know if there is any recipe for that dish?? Could you share it please + if there’s any special cooking tips? I would be grateful!!

It’s also wining the price for the most delicious budget friendly fast dish that I ever tried! I was not hungry for the next 24 hours!

How do you use canned/frozen food?

I mean frozen peas, cut-veggies, corn, etc., or canned chickpeas, beans, veggies, etc.

  1. Is it better to use a canned version or a frozen version if both exist (eg: peas, veggies, corn)?
  2. For canned stuff, do you use the liquid in the can or throw it away? Do you wash the item before cooking it?
  3. For frozen stuff, do you just put it in the pan straight away or wash it, or thaw it first?
  4. Anything else to keep in mind for a beginner who has to ask these kind of questions?

Looking for good tempeh stir fry recipes

I was meal-prepping some black bean soup and I wanted to add some tempeh to it because I figured it would be a healthy addition to the recipe. Unfortunately, I proceeded to completely forget about adding the tempeh because it’s not in the original recipe, so now I have the block sitting in my fridge and I want to use it. Any suggestions for stir-frying it with either rice or noodles?

Also, here’s the black bean soup recipe. It freezes well too.

Dehydrated soy curls

I just bought a pack of soy curls on a whim. I have read positive things about them. Can anyone give tips on the best way to prepare them and recipe ideas? I have never had them before. Hoping they are a fun new addition to my kitchen.

Makhane ki Kheer for Navratri/Vrat

This is how I make Makhane (lotus seeds) ki Kheer for vrat. I lightly crush about 100 g makhana and cook it slowly in 1.5 litres of milk, stirring in between so it doesn’t stick. Once the milk starts thickening, I add sugar and cook for a few more minutes. Then I add saffron soaked in a little milk, crushed cardamom, chopped almonds and raisins. I also scrape the malai from the sides back into the kheer while cooking, which makes it richer. Once done, I let it cool and refrigerate it for a few hours before serving.

Beginner cheap meals?

Hi all!
I’m 22F and UK based - I recently had to go gluten free and dairy free due to health conditions and been debating for ages about going vegetarian and decided now’s the time I’m doing it.

It has been 3 weeks since I’ve started and it’s been great, only issue is that I’ve noticed it’s really expensive 😢

Has anyone got any recommendations for cheap meals?
I like quorn mince, not as much of a fan of the quorn pieces.
I like soya milk products and oat is nice as well.
I prefer oat when cooking/baking.

Any advice would be great ☺️
Thank you!!

If this isn’t comfort food, then what is?😭😭

My mom bought this new kadhai and I love cooking in it. So today I decided to make one of my comfort food

Paneer bhurji with parantha is my go to when I don’t want to cook anything complicated but still want something flavourful and tasty. Quick to make, goes well with roti or paratha, and honestly never disappoints.

My simple paneer bhurji recipe: Heat some oil and add cumin seeds. Add chopped onion and green chilli, and cook until the onion turns soft. Now add chopped tomatoes, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder and a little salt. Cook until the tomatoes become soft. Final step is to add crumbled paneer and mix everything well, cook for 3-5 min and finish with coriander and garam masala now it's ready to serve. I love having it with paranthas.

Kuttu ki Poori for Navratri/Vrat

Today I made kuttu ki poori, to make it easy as it breaks while rolling I use boiled arbi and mash it with kuttu atta then prepare dough.
It binds the flour and helps to makes the pooris easier to roll. After that deep fry it and serve it hot.

Rasedar Vrat Wale Aloo — made without tomato, using curd instead 🥔

I make this version without tomato. Curd gives the gravy a nice tang and also keeps it simple for vrat.
I used 3 boiled potatoes, 3 tbsp curd, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tsp jeera, 1 tsp red chilli powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp sendha namak and around 200 ml water.
I lightly mash the potatoes first. Then heat oil, add jeera and the spices, followed by curd. Cook it for a bit, then add the potatoes, sendha namak and water.
I pressure cook it for 2 whistles and finish with fresh coriander.
Simple, comforting and really good with kuttu ki poori 😊
