Cooking Diary: Vegetarian Dishes
My first go at this. The idea was to make three vegetarian dishes with different flavours and textures. It ended up ok, but the flavour balance could be better...
Cannot imagine that you can cook so many dishes. You have done really well for first attempts. What other ingredients are cooked with the cucumber, dried tofu or fish cake? What else are in the soup apart from Mushroom?
The mushrooms were braised with dried tofu skins for about half an hour, and the zucchini was stir-fried with five-spice tofu.
Both tofu, but very different flavours and textures. I really liked the stir-fry but the mushroom dish needs a bit more balancing to get the flavour right.
I'm a 27 year old gay male. Chinese in ethnicity, Kiwi-Aussie in nationality. A gamer, who believes in prolonging humanity through Green politics, sees the value of anarcho-communism in society, and hopes for the triumph of individual spirituality over organised religion.
I believe in perfection as a balance between what each person views as positive and what they view as negative. There is never an absence of one or the other, except in ignorance. There is always a side of evil in the good, a darkness in the light.
