It is good to back again to cooking vegetarian food. This time, I made this real easy Sweet and Sour Fu Chuk (fdeep ried bean curd). These fu chuk are sold in packets and they are available in many wet markets around Kuala Lumpur. You can add these pre fried fu chuk to soupy noodles and they are really tasty.<br />

My neighbour gave me the recipe for this dish. Actually, it is a very simple dish to prepare and taste real good too. I bought some fresh shitake <a href="http://veganformation.blogspot.com/2010/03/vegetarian-baked-white-crab-mushroom.html">mushroom</a> from the local hypermarket and cooked them immediately upon reaching home. The creamy savoury sauce goes along well with the mushroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is my Shitake Mushroom with Butter and Soya Sauce Recipe.</div>
<br />
Ingredients<br />
Shitake Mushroom, 1 bowl, cut into halves<br />
Butter, 1 tablespoon<br />
Light soya sauce, 1 tablespoon<br />
Salt to taste<br />
Garlic, 3 cloves, chopped finely<br />
<br />
Heat up wok and pour in a little vegetable oil. Saute garlic till fragrant, add in the butter and light soya sauce. Throw in the shitake mushroom. If the dish is not salty enough, you can add in a little salt. Serve while still hot. <br />

There are many versions of vegetarian Char Siew. Here is my simplified Chinese Vegan Char Siew Recipe.<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
Taukan, 1 block<br />
Five Spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon<br />
Light soya sauce, 2 tablespoons<br />
Sugar, 3 tablespoons<br />
Vegetable oil for deep frying<br />
<br />
Marinade the taukan with all the ingredients. Heat up wok and put in the vegetable oil. Slowly put in the taukan pieces one by one. Taukan cooked easily, so you just have to fry it until they turned golden brown in colour. Take out the taukan and drain away excess oil. Cut the taukan into strips.<br />
Use the leftover marinade as the sauce. Cook it in the frying pan and bring to a boil. Pour a little of the sauce into the fried taukan before serving.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright Material of <a href="http://veganformation.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" closure_hashcode_="408"> Veganformation Vegetarian Food Cooking Adventure</a></div>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13769000274478173272noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314590078323360164.post-61286820186250943032011-05-27T08:29:00.000-07:002011-05-27T08:29:00.319-07:00Vegetarian Dragon Fruit Jelly (Agar Agar) Recipe<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDTu0Q5F0NhOQnfA6cPM6f1irCZbnWEdM3mpbxqNfUDYkO6ZdXL9HC3xeTkb6ktb0nJFV0UNoZaQkGQhAtsKUEzCMu5dNYmGJ7n-LFxwxhxF7Y54QE68TutffTn723VtCZvxhjMGaBwWp/s1600/DSCN5779.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRDTu0Q5F0NhOQnfA6cPM6f1irCZbnWEdM3mpbxqNfUDYkO6ZdXL9HC3xeTkb6ktb0nJFV0UNoZaQkGQhAtsKUEzCMu5dNYmGJ7n-LFxwxhxF7Y54QE68TutffTn723VtCZvxhjMGaBwWp/s1600/DSCN5779.JPG" t8="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dragon fruits have lots of Vitamin C and loaded with antioxidant.

I decided to be a little adventurous and cooked it with other vegetables. This is a very simple vegetarian dish and I am sure everyone in the family would love it. The kids can pour the gravy in their rice so that you don't have to cook soup! LOL!<br />
<br />
Ingredients<br />
Bell Pepper, 1 pc, cut into bite size<br />
Cabbage, 4 leaves, cut small<br />
Carrot, 1 pc, cut into slices<br />
Corn flour with water mixture<br />
Garlic, 3 pcs, chopped finely<br />
Onion, 1 pc, cut into four<br />
Light soya sauce, 2 tablespoons<br />
Salt to taste<br />
Vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon<br />
<br />
Heat up wok and put in the vegetable oil. Add garlic and onions. Stir fry for a short while. Add in the cabbage, carrot and bell pepper. Stir fry for a short while under high heat. Lower the temperature a little and add in some water. Bring to a boil and pour in the corn flour and water mixture to thicken the gravy. Add light soya sauce and salt to taste.<br />

Note : You might notice that there are prawns in the photo which I added for my kids. You can omit the prawn for vegetarian version.

The pungent Nam Yee is salty with a slight creamy taste. During this festival, devotees would eat only vegetarian meal for nine days. As a young kid, I would accompany my grandma in observing 9 days of strict vegetarian diet.<br />
Here is my recipe for vegetarian stir fried Romaine lettuce with Nam Yee.<br />

Ingredients<br />
Romaine Lettuce, 4 bunches, cleaned<br />
Nam Yee, 1 pc<br />
Garlic, 3 pcs, chopped finely (Note: Some Nine Emperor Gods devotees don't eat garlic)<br />
Vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon<br />
<br />
Heat up wok and put in the vegetable oil. Add in the garlic and stir fry for a short while. Add in the nam yee and break it up using the spatula. Add in the romaine lettuce and fry for a short while only. Pour in a little water. Serve hot with steamed rice.<br />
<br />
Note : You don't have to add water because, nam yee is very salty.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright Material of <a href="http://veganformation.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" closure_hashcode_="408"> Veganformation Vegetarian Food Cooking Adventure</a></div>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13769000274478173272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314590078323360164.post-69043513307884134622011-05-19T09:19:00.000-07:002011-05-19T09:19:32.082-07:00Fried Vegetarian Tau Kan (wet beancurd sheets) with Onions<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjppIb0lE96-NU_GRNFahZXSzc9U435rILYxvCX6UqOGKLTg3Z_3VVQDij9Qid6hfm-n-iY8q3mmO7bqbECFUqX6CjtBPdCFs1Cm951qekZMKdoZs_JWB5LfMePGwLgiSCdRMQGcHe_INkj/s1600/DSCN6850copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300px" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjppIb0lE96-NU_GRNFahZXSzc9U435rILYxvCX6UqOGKLTg3Z_3VVQDij9Qid6hfm-n-iY8q3mmO7bqbECFUqX6CjtBPdCFs1Cm951qekZMKdoZs_JWB5LfMePGwLgiSCdRMQGcHe_INkj/s400/DSCN6850copy.jpg" width="400px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love to use <a href="http://veganformation.blogspot.com/2010/03/vegetarian-tau-kan-with-toasted-peanut.html">taukan</a> (wet bean curd sheets) in my vegetarian dishes.

Young tapioca leaves are soft and it is nice if eaten with <a href="http://veganformation.blogspot.com/2009/06/vegetarian-sambal-fried-chilli-for-nasi.html" target="_blank" closure_hashcode_="408">vegetarian sambal</a>. However there are some sap in these young leaves that needs to be removed before eaten. In order to do that they are best boiled in water with a little soda bicarbonate added. Boiling the leaves this way also helps to soften the fibres in the leaves. Tapioca leaves have high contents of nutrients, protein and crude fibre.<br /><br />Ingredients<br />Tapioca leaves, 1 bunch, remove stems<br />Water, 1 pot<br />Soda Bicarbonate, 1/3 teaspoon<br /><br />Put water in a pot and bring to a boil. Add tapioca (ubi kayu) leaves and soda bicarbonate. Boil until the leaves turned dark green. Drain away excess water and serve with sambal (chilly).<div class="blogger-post-footer">Copyright Material of <a href="http://veganformation.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" closure_hashcode_="408"> Veganformation Vegetarian Food Cooking Adventure</a></div>Petehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13769000274478173272noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8314590078323360164.post-57396886985030992732010-08-27T09:59:00.000-07:002010-08-27T09:59:00.477-07:00Jawa Vegetarian Chap Chai Recipe<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqrvfVTn3i867jNnVdcvm5vd6Wdu5LfY6OeB3tFrPOX4BxGBT9RY-RQZxocF2aegPnG55MtdrK3dePs2tufCkLMZktkJOs8G2qLdPvVxIe7WLOjk9kV_Q4mrfkkneCVYzUKIx-Elh8i3qG/s1600/DSCN3943+copy.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509022391039169490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqrvfVTn3i867jNnVdcvm5vd6Wdu5LfY6OeB3tFrPOX4BxGBT9RY-RQZxocF2aegPnG55MtdrK3dePs2tufCkLMZktkJOs8G2qLdPvVxIe7WLOjk9kV_Q4mrfkkneCVYzUKIx-Elh8i3qG/s320/DSCN3943+copy.jpg" /></a><br />This recipe is popular among the community in Jawa Island, Indonesia.
