For the month of March, I committed myself to a resolution of eating vegetarian. So I thought I would share some of my favorite vegetarian and vegan recipes.
If you have read any of my previous posts about Korea, then you know that I absolutely love Korean food. This recipe was pretty authentic and I highly recommend it! It’s a bit spicy and has tons of veggies in it. Super tasty.
This particular recipe calls to add sriracha, but I didn’t have any so I just made it without. Either way, it was delicious and easy! I also fried some tofu and added that. I love peanut butter, so this was a must try. I also love Thai food, and this was probably inspired by it. I would suggest to have this as a side dish rather than a main meal though.
Black bean butternut squash stew
This is definitely a staple recipe to have during the winter months. The combination of black beans and butternut squash give the stew a creamy consistency. The recipe calls for an optional pinch of allspice, and I always add it because it definitely changes the flavor and makes it taste more like a comfort food.
If you like Indian food, you probably have tried butter chicken. I would say it’s a favorite dish of many people. This recipe is fairly simple and creates a similar version of butter chicken, just with tofu instead. I would suggest taking it easy on the onions (I used too much the first time) and frying the tofu first in order for it to have a better texture.
There are many other vegan and vegetarian recipes I have made and liked, but I didn’t want this post to be super long. If you want recommendations, just ask! And if you try any of these recipes, let me know what you think. I’m sure everyone had a lot of extra time at home now, so why not spend some of that time trying out new recipes?
