Home cook vegetarian dishes

Homesprouted soybean sprouts and homemade Acar (pickled and spiced vegetables)

"Vegetarian Duck"

Made from dried soy bean "skin". This dish is supposed to be fried before eat, but I only steam without frying it.

Popiah

A very typical Chinese dish in Malaysia.

Oatmeal porridge

Ingredients : Oats, oat bran, wheatgerm, dried fig, topped with brewer's yeast, lecithin. Sometimes we also top it with fresh banana.

Lentil and vegetable curry

Ingredients : Lentil, vegetable, bean curd and etc

Button Mushroom, peanuts and potato stew

This stew is spiced with Chinese spice "five spice powder" (五香粉),pepper, thick and light soy sauce,star anise and garlic. I cooked this with my recently bought 1.5 Litre Thermos.

Vegetable, bean curd and sauce.

Banana and lotus seed sandwich

Steamed lotus seed, blend into paste, spread over wholemeal bread, put slice banana, baked into sandwich.

Gado-gado (Indonesian Salad)

Gado-gado is our favourite dish too! It's high fibre and is good for you.

Tapioca cup cake

It's darn delicious eventhough there isn't any sugar added as the banana and raisin provide natural sweetness!

Stir-fry jicama (sweet turnip)

A very common dish on the dining table in Malaysia.

The simplest way to eat is to wrap it with raw lettuce accompanied by chilli sauce.

Brown rice vermicelli with homemade chilli sauce

I fried this brown rice vermicelli with homegrown mung bean sprout. The tangy homemade chilli sauce is concocted from all natural source like fresh chilli, ginger, garlic, small lime, golden raisin and salt. Again, no refined sugar being used. It can be stored in fridge for one week.

Filled wholemeal biscuit (spicy coconut filling & split mung bean filling)

Filled wholemeal biscuits with two types of my favourite filling.....

These wholemeal biscuits are so healthy that you can take them as part of your breakfast... They contained no hydrogenated oil like margarine or shortening.

Preparing the split mung bean filling from steamed split mung bean, olive oil (or grape seed oil), shallot, salt, chopped date and raisin.

Split mung bean filling rolled into ball and ready to be wrapped.

Spicy coconut filling is also my favourite filling...

The ingredients for Spicy coconut filling are olive oil (or grape seed oil), chilli, turmeric, lemongrass, grated coconut, shallot, garlic, dried shrimps and salt.

Ready for fermenting...

Under going fermenting process...

Wholemeal biscuit with split mung bean fillling, flavoured with shallots, date and raisin.

Wholemeal biscuit with spicy coconut filling (salty flavour).

Fried Brown Rice Vermicelli

It's been months since my last post. Sorry for my tardiness in posting....

This is a very high fibre dish as I used plenty of vegetables : 1 bowl of fresh vegetables (mung bean sprouts, Anorki mushroom, carrot (juliened), string beans, cabbage (juliened)), and 1 bowl of brown rice vermicelli to cook this dish.

The special feature is the all natural spices used for the pounded chilli paste : fresh chilli (or Korean chilli powder), shallot, garlic, galangal (lengkuas), lemongrass, turmeric. I added very small amount of tamarind juice to impart a very mild sour taste to it. The final taste is akin to Tom Yam fried rice vermicelli.

I abstained from the use of the store bought Tom Yam Paste which contains too much of additives. If you are a lover of strong, savoury flavours, then this "all natural" dish is a dish that you will most likely fall in love with!

(For non vegetarian, I suggest you add one or a combination of these :fresh prawns, fresh squid, dried shrimp (pounded or in whole) to make it even more relishing - as I sometimes do!)

Steamed pumpkin buns (steamed bread)

These steamed buns are made of wholewheat 100% & pumpkin.

Soybean curd pattie

The steamed bean curd can be served as it is or you may fry it prior to serving. This vegetarian dish is a good substitute for those who are tired of taking meat. It does provide superior nutritional value by having varieties of different colours of vegetables being added to the bean curd.

We usually make plenty of them and keep them in freezer & steam when it's needed.

It can be served with rice, porridge, fried noodles or even sandwiched in between two slices of wholemeal bread, as your nutritional breakfast.
