JCC The thread for people who practice vegetarianism

I'm looking for new recipes in general that are tested to be awesome, since I do very little cooking and am lazy. Bonus points if you have a good recipe for extra firm tofu. Extra. Firm.


Pescatarians go get your own thread.

 

You are more honorable than other men and women, and ascend towards the highest forms of life. We who are beneath commend you.

 

I know, but I was that way before vegetarianism too.

 

I know some Indian food that is vegetarian friendly. Doesn't use tofu though; uses actual vegetables.

 

Hey, I'm a vegetarian too. I knew you were cool.

The stuff I use is mostly foreign to you if you're in the US, I think. I'll look.

 

Edit.

 

I can look around, LA has a lot of weird food places that carry foreign type stuffs.

Also vivec yeah that's cool too.

 

peanut butter and banana sandwiches with shredded carrot have been pre-tested by me and are relatively awesome


*no cooking required*

 

If vegetarian food is so good, why does so much pretend to look like meat? And why are we omnivores? And why is meat so ****ing delicious?

 

I've got a pretty tasty pasta recipe that I was taught so as to be able to feed myself that is equal parts simple and with, like, plants in it. And vegetarian-friendly sausage.

 

I like the crispy fried tofu some asian take outs do. Every once in a while they'll put it in their hot and sour soups too.

 

How much practice does it take before you're really good at it?

 

Some of the brands I have here: Quorn, Vivera, Seitan--Seitan, which is wheat gluten: the kind of extra firm stuff you might be looking for (if you're not allergic to gluten). There's Linda McCartney Foods, but the supermarkets over here stopped carrying it a few years ago. Maybe they still sell it somewhere in that ghetto where you live. And many local stores have their own vegetarian brands of course.

As for recipes, I'm not much of a cook either. I can only suggest the obvious: websites, cookbooks, the sagely gnomes in the forests, et cetera.

 

Have you actually eaten Quorn? I thought it was a fungus?

 

I have a quinoa recipe that I use for my lunches. Quinoa, feta, basil, kalamata olives, rosemary, olive oil, done.

 

I just eat bread and water.

 

Even, this is honorable. Do you also sleep straight on the floor?

 

I've been eating a lot more vegetarian recently for relationship reasons. I can recommend basically every Indian vegetarian dish but I don't have any idea how to make them, sorry.

 

You know what is a lifesaver as a vegetarian?

Asian food. You can make stir fried rice, stir fried noodles, stir fried vegetables. It's a real life saver. Also, almond milk with cereal is a kick-ass staple.

I never get too fancy during fast (I go vegan twice a year for six weeks before Christmas and before Easter), but I'll think of some more tips and maybe share some recipes when I have time.

 

Veganism is a dishonorable sham form vegetarianism. You shouldn't do it.

 

It's best to put the feta and basil in while the quinoa is still warm so the feta gets gooey and the basil can release it's amazing aroma and flavor.

 

How does one sleep gay on the floor?

 

Me too!

Oh, wait...
