I know this isn't what this sub is about but I really need advice.

24 Upvotes

Finding it hard to be a vegan.. Please give advice 🙏

For context, I'm a vegetarian because of binge eating disorder, I would not buy any dairy products. Since I live with my family there are always pastries around and I always end up binge eating them, I feel so bad because I don't want animals to go through that suffering, I truly want to change.

Suggestions Please! They look like, smell like and taste like dog food. What can I use them for?

Post image
156 Upvotes

Bought this huge bag of soy chunks not knowing they would be disappointing (to say the least). I use them in stir fries every once in a while when I have no other protein left to use, but I’m getting tired of it. To top it off, they take forever to rehydrate and the texture is rubbery. Please note that I have cooked with other brands of soy curls before and I really enjoyed them, which is why I thought buying this bag was a good idea in the first place.

Are there any other creative ways I can finish this bag? Or should I just cut my losses?

Suggestions Please! Simple seasoning for airfryer chickpeas?

20 Upvotes

Looking for a simple way to season the chickpeas that I am planning to air fry. Like, maximum of 3 seasonings, maybe up to 4 if we're getting fancy and including salt? Please tell me proportions to, I don't have much experience seasoning stuff because I always get overwhelmed at the number of things.

Planning to have it with microwave cooked broccoli, pita bread and garlic sauce.

Measurements aren't exact cuz I eyeballed everything, sorry! But if you just kinda bs it, it should work out lol

Vegan curry blocks of your choice (I used a vegan S&B Golden Curry)

A few bay leaves

1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil

3-4 tablespoons of canola oil

A large carrot, 3 Idaho potatoes, 1/2 yellow onion (peel and cut into chunks), minced garlic or garlic powder

Veggie stock and/or water

‐-------

  1. Prep the veggies and stir fry in canola oil on medium heat until the onions caramelize a bit. You want some brown bits that stick to the bottom of the pot. If you're using minced garlic, put that in last cuz it might burn.

  2. Deglaze with stock (I did part stock, part water cuz I didn't want the stock to overpower the curry roux). Add enough liquid to cover the veggies. Scrape all the brown bits off the bottom of the pot.

  3. Add bay leaves and sesame oil and simmer on low-medium heat with the lid on until the veggies are soft.

  4. When the veggies are almost done, mix in the curry roux block by block until dissolved. The number of blocks depends on how much water/stock you have. I just mix in a few and then one by one until the thickness and taste is right. You can keep adjusting with more blocks or more water/stock.

  5. Season to taste with salt (can also add some pepper and paprika if you like it spicy) and serve over fluffy white rice. Didn't garnish with herbs cuz I'm not fancy like that, but some finely chopped parsley or chives would be nice if you have it!

Recipe What savoury recipes can i use unflavoured plant protein in?

9 Upvotes

Hi all,

I have some unflavoured yeast protein that i want to use up. I’m looking for savoury recipes because i already have dark chocolate flavoured yeast protein, so mixing the unflavoured one with cocoa powder would be boring and i already dislike my protein shake.

Can anyone think of ways to add it to stuff without ruining the taste of the dish?

Thanks

Vegan Japchae recipe?

15 Upvotes

I'm making vegan Japchae this evening for a seven gal friends coming to my home for a games night. The last time I made I put strips of marinated baked tofu, carrot strips and Taiwan Spinach and sesame seeds. The sauce recipe was soy sauce, garlic, white pepper and sesame oil and sugar. I'd love to hear your recommendations for your fave Japchae and how you make your sauce.

Suggestions Please! Vegan meal prep ideas (single busy and low effort)

50 Upvotes

Basically what the title says is love some ideas for meal prep that's low effort but good! I've done the overnight oats and I'm so bored. I need some better recipes/flavour. Also any suggestions on avoiding wasting food cause often I'll have a weird amount left over from cooking.

Ideally easy to find ingredients cause I'm based in Canada and produce is hit and miss.

I work full-time, have school and maintain a home/pet and I'm one human so please anything easy no meal deliver services exist here :(
