Foolproof simmered seitan, perfect meat replacement Seitan is an excellent dish for anyone interested in replacing meat with something healthier. As a vegetarian I find myself wondering how I can elevate my to make it tastier - enter seitan. Seitan is cooked wheat gluten that takes on a lot of the flavors of the seasoning of your choice. I was introduced to seitan by my fiance, boyfriend at the time. I enjoy Thai food and never imagined that they had something called mock duck or vegetarian duck. So when he would order his and I would order mine (chicken) I would be so jealous of his dish. Now that I no longer eat meat, mock duck is my go-to at Thai of vegetarian Chinese ...

Vegan Potato/Yam Greens With Mushrooms
Enjoy this quick Liberian Vegan Potato Greens Dish Vegan Potato Greens with Mushrooms are often not associated with the traditional Liberian dish. The original dish is often loaded with thick pieces of tender meat and fish, hardly do you see it made with mushrooms. Potato greens are made from the leaves of the sweet potato plant. For the longest time, I could not find a place in NYC to buy this product, that was not until I began to notice the shape of these leaves in the Asian food stores that I frequented. Still, Potato or Yam leaves are not popular greens that you'd find in the supermarket. It's usually specific to Asian and South American. Or African Markets, but those are usually ...

Thai Green Curry Recipe & Memories from Thailand
You can make Thai curry at the fraction of what you think it would cost Thai green curry is probably one of my favorite Thai dishes, after pad thai. So when my friend had an idea of going to Thailand for her 30th birthday, I couldn't say no. In February I got to visit the beautiful country of Thailand with some amazing ladies. This was the first time I've been that far east, so I was not looking forward to the flight nor time difference. However, if I was asked to do it all over again, I'd do it in a heartbeat. You must go. Other than the food, the scenery has to be the best part of Thailand. We visited both Bangkok and Phuket and each area had their own feel and look. Bangkok is ...
Bold Trini Jackfruit Vegan Pastelles
Gluten-free vegan pastelles for the lazy chef Ingredients Tools The first time I was introduced to pastelles was through my dear friend Heather. I went over to her house in which she hosted me with some Pastelles. I was hesitant at first - I thought it was fermented corn with no filling. But she insisted. And it was one bite heaven. I believe I ate two that day. At the time I was still eating meat, and the taste was heavenly. This dish is popular along with the Caribbean islands and varies from country to country, though the excitement for the dish is universal. This dish is a rendition of the Trinidadian version. I asked for the recipe and made sure that I had all the ...
Liberian Vegan Okra Soup with Mushrooms
A slight change to the Traditional Liberian dish with affordability Okra is a common dish in West Africa - actually perhaps all of Africa and even Asia. However I wanted to come to you with a recipe I've come to pick up on since beginning to date a Liberian. I first had this dish when I went over to meet my boyfriends mum over in Iowa - and boy was I in love! I love it so much I watched her create the dish and wrote out the recipe. Growing up okra soup was a simple steamed pot of blended okra. This is usually eaten with a swallow or fufu. However this dish will liven up as a sort of gumbo as you can add mushrooms, peppers and more. She loves to use fresh okra chopped into bits of 4's. ...
