Stir Fried King Oyster Mushrooms

Mushrooms

I’m so glad it’s spring, because now the days are longer, the light is brighter and it’s sunnier outside. I love sweater weather, although I could do without the mud and puddles. I’ve been feeling more inspired to actually cook for myself instead of just throwing some pasta in the pot to eat with nooch and black pepper or just eating a sleeve of crackers with some peanut butter. I’m not sure if you all follow me on Instagram, but if you don’t, please do. A lot of the time I’ll share my personal meals there that aren’t always posted on the blog because either they’re so simple I feel silly posting the recipe, or I was just messing around in the kitchen. It’s hard to develop a recipe for just one when most people aren’t just cooking for themselves. I’ll also share my favourite restaurants, new things I’m trying in the kitchen, or simply featuring some beautiful food that I’ve fallen in love with.

The thing I love about Instagram is that I can browse the feeds all day. I follow over 300 people, and most of them are my blogger friends or other awesome food Instagrammers who post drool-worthy shots of colourful food every day. It’s inspiring at it’s best. I see bright green avocado toast and I feel like I should add more colour to my bowl. Layered smoothies (which I recently failed at), salad bowls, soups and vegan inspiration galore. I’m really proud of the photos I post on there, and it’s exciting to hear back from people who tell me they went and bought some bok choy after I posted a photo of some =)

Mushrooms

I grew up eating stir fries made with chicken broth granules instead of soy sauce because it adds a different flavour without colouring the entire dish a dark brown. But I found mushroom broth granules in Chinatown and I knew I could make old school stir fries like my mom used to make =)

I thought I’d share this super simple mushrooms side dish that I eat with bok choy and bean curd. Bean curd is fermented soft tofu basically, otherwise called Chinese cheese, tofu cheese, or in VietnameseÒ€”chao. It’s creamy, soft, and has a tanginess to it, and spicy if you buy the one in chilli oil. It is so good with blanched greens like mustard greens or bok choy. Comfort food at its finest.

Have a great weekend, all!

    This looks absolutely incredible! Mushrooms are my favorite way of getting vegan protein. For a long time I worried about how to get protein and then I realized my answer was right in front of me in one of my favorite foods :)

    And I never knew that mushroom worth granules were a thing that existed. I will definitely have to buy those next shopping trip! Can you find them at any grocery store?

    If you are interested, I just designed this fun shirt based on one of my vegan pet peeves haha. Hope you like it!

      I don’t typically rely on mushrooms for protein, but they sure are tasty! I found mushroom broth granules at the Chinese market =)

        If I don’t have mushroom granules, is there something else in my pantry that I might be able to substitute? Thank you.

          If you have broth concentrate/paste, that would work too. It might not be exactly as savoury but it’ll be close :)

    how do you eat the fermented tofu? (and do not say by putting it in the mouth). do you dab the chopsticks with it, then get a bite of the dish? or do you dip it in sauce? i am assuming the stuff in the little bowl is fermented.

      It’s all a matter of preference, but yes, the it’s fermented bean curd. I use grab a bit with the chopsticks, eat it with rice because it’s quite salty and strong in flavour as it is :)

    I generally love cooking with king oyster mushrooms as they are a very good alternative to meat. They taste great and have all of the nutritional value. Definitely trying this out for myself and sharing the recipe with my friends and family.

AD - Vegan satay with luscious, spiced peanut sauce and crunchy, stinky, umami green papaya salad? Yes please! Eddie thoroughly enjoyed my recipe tests for this recipe and promptly smothered this peanut sauce over anything and everything.
🍱
Recipe and video are on the blog and YouTube channel, please check it out and enjoy the new filming setup that I've been doing lately :) I think this makes for a much better video filmed this way!
🍱
I made this satay recipe as a collab with @monbento to show a delicious lunch idea that you can meal prep ahead of time! Y'all know I am a sucker for delicious food in my bento box, so I'm so jazzed that monbento gave me a code to save y'all 10%.
🍱
Use code THEVIETVEGAN10 on top of the sales happening right now to get you an adorable bento!

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!
πŸͺ
Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
πŸ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
πŸ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity πŸ˜‚β£οΈπŸ˜­Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
πŸ‚
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
πŸ‚
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
πŸ‚
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
πŸ‚
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
πŸ‚
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
πŸ’š
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles πŸ˜‚
πŸ’š
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long πŸ˜…)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog πŸ±πŸŒ³πŸ‚ some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
πŸ‚
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets πŸ™ƒ), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat
