My tastebuds have taken a real turn in the last few weeks. All of a sudden I’m craving seaweed, tofu and mushrooms – quite specifically.
No, I’m not pregnant mum.
Before that, mushrooms were basically the only ingredient I didn’t like and tofu just didn’t really come into my weekly diet. However, since I’ve started my meat-free May, I’m looking for new alternatives. Tofu is made by curdling fresh Soya milk, it’s high in protein, low in sugars and contains all the essential amino acids (these are the ones the body cannot produce itself).
Quick tip: The firmer the tofu, the higher the protein content and also the better it is for crispy tofu dishes. I created a delicious seaweed and tofu dish the other night so that will be up to share with you all next week!
For this tasty, sweet stir-fry, I combined some of my favourite flavours and textures to make a VERY easy and delicious Vegetarian and Vegan miso recipe. It may look like a fair amount of ingredients but in fact the main dish is made up of just 4 components and everything else in there are flavours and sauces that bring the dish to life.
I’m also a huge fan of Chinese cabbage and it really ‘puffs up’ the dish to become quite a filling but light on the stomach recipe.
