Trying to get away from buying heavily processed vegan meat substitutes and making more use of tofu.
My go to is pressing and thinly slicing firm tofu into strips, and marinading in dark soy sauce, maple syrup and whatever spicy sauce I have. I then air fry them for about 7 minutes.
The Syrian style shawarma (not stated on the menu) at Palmyra in the Haight is indeed the closest thing I’ve had to a Damascus style shawarma. There are fries in it :) it’s better than their standard shawarma on the menu
I also love their hummus, kibbeh and tabbouleh. Much better than much more expensive middle eastern spots around
George Lee gave up meat for 100 days after his grandfather died, per his native Taiwan, traditional Buddhist mourning ritual. It was then that Lee “started to feel something that anchored my interest in vegetarian cooking.” Today, Lee is a vegan chef, and Atlas Obscura talks to him about “A-Gong’s Table,” his new cookbook that explores the potential of plant-based foods. https://flip.it/GldfRg #Culture#Food#Foodstodon#Cooking#Thailand
Peel Road @ Kuala Lumpur, famous for its chinese-style nasi lemak shop but the whole street is filled with great food options. The kopitiam occupying the corner shop is fully halal/muslim-friendly and hosts a good selection of Malay, chinese and Indian food stalls. #food#MalaysianFood
Breakfast of over easy eggs, grits, biscuit and a sausage. Not pictured, sauteed kale because I need my greens. Friend got pancakes with bananas. The pancakes were really good!
The biscuit is good too (it's usually too dry when I had it in the past)
The other places I ate at that I enjoyed: Urban Hui
It was a little trippy to hear Indonesian music as we were eating 😆
And then I ended up chatting a bit with the waiter, who is Indonesian who thought I was too because I was like omg who chose the music! (No, I didn't recognize them, but I did not expect to hear Indonesian music)
This pic is not all... The noodles came later and I think we did order more stuff (this is all for two people, but I have a very good holiday stomach, and only the bok choy was left unfinished by the end)
I am not a big fan of those konjac noodles. The texture is just wrong and they don’t taste like anything, I’m going to go back to just eating the sauce on an egg 🥚 #food#lowCarb#diabetes
so apparently the big secret to tasty fries is ... peanut oil. you cook em in peanut oil. or toss them in it and airfry em. that's literally all you need
It’s that time again, I was craving deep fried something in beer batter. I decided to use tofu that had been frozen and it worked beautifully. With this we had a Napa cabbage salad, tonkatsu sauce, rice and furikake. I dealt with the tofu, my husband with everything else 😁
I’m steaming some jersey royals for my signature potato salad. I can’t tell you the recipe, because then I’d have to kill you. We’ll have it for lunch with some green salad and smoked mackerel fillets, yum #food
Yesterday’s humble but low-key luxurious #TGIF dinner at a Chinese mixed rice shop. Please ignore the unsightly way we stuffed tissue paper under the plate, we are not refined people. #MakanApaToday#MalaysianFood#Food
#FarhanHaq, a #UN spokesperson, said the new smaller numbers reflected those bodies which had been fully identified. The bigger figures included corpses for whom identification has so far not been completed.
