vegetarian doesn’t have to be bland
We go vegetarian two days a month on the first and fifteenth of the Chinese moon. Though I’ve been doing this all my life, it was only in recent years that I realized it’s healthy eating.
At the mere mention of the word ‘vegetarian’, people tend to shrink back and think bland and boring. But quite frankly, vegetarian food isn’t and doesn’t have to be.
I mean, look at this yummy vegetarian curry bursting with tofu, cabbage, ladies’ fingers (okra), long beans, and a ton of Indian spices.
There’s 2 types of tofu in there – taupok (or what I call, tofu pockets, which is the round brown piece) and foopay (or tofu sheets, which are the flat brown sheets). It’s anything but bland and boring.
This is what I had for lunch two days ago. Vegetarian curry over plain rice noodles fried with cabbage and carrots. It tastes sooo good!
Yes, tt’s amazing how good the noodle tastes despite being so plain. No meat, no fancy ingredients, yet so tasty
