whats the best recipe for a vegetarian meal?

Question

give details :)

Answer 1

There has to be a good protien food in the mix somewhere or the people you serve it to will be hungry in a few hours, so include one of the soy 'meats' or some tofu. Tofu basically kinda sucks as it is and no one seems able to make anything very good out of it. What I like to do when I have the time is drain some fresh tofu as much as possible and slice it into little chips no more than a quarter-inch thick. Get some oil going on low heat in a covered frying pan. Add a little salt and some pepper. Dump in the tofu and stir it every minute or two...don't let it stick to the pan. It takes a while...like 20-25 minutes to cook all the moisture out of it and it gets a nice chewy texture. You can add cut up veggies...onions, broccoli, peppers, whatever...after about ten minutes (so that they don't over-cook) and serve it lots of ways...over rice, with bread and a side dish or in a wrap. It makes a good, satisfying dinner.

A Clone of Benihana's Fried Rice ( Japanese )
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:

4 cup cooked converted or parboiled rice (1 cup uncooked)
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
4 tablespoons finely grated carrot
2 x eggs, beaten
1/2 cup diced green onion
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
salt
pepper

Method:
Cook rice following instructions on package (Bring 2 cups water to a boil, add rice and a dash of salt, reduce heat and simmer in covered saucepan for 20 minutes). Pour rice into a large bowl to let it cool in the refrigerator. Scramble the eggs in a small pan over medium heat. Separate the scrambled chunks of egg into small pea-size bits while cooking.

When rice has cooled to near room temperature, add peas, grated carrot, scrambled egg and diced onion to the bowl. Carefully toss all of the ingredients together. Melt 1 1/2 tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan over medium/high heat.

When butter has completely melted, dump the bowl of rice and other ingredients into the pan and add soy sauce plus a dash of salt and pepper. Cook rice for 6-8 minutes over heat, stirring often.

This fried rice can be prepared ahead of time by cooking the rice, then adding the peas, carrots and egg plus half of the soy sauce. Keep this refrigerated until you are ready to fry it in the butter. That's when you add the salt, pepper and remaining soy sauce.

You can't really give an answer to this because no one food will be able to give you the right amounts of protein and nuitrience. You should eat a variety of things each day. Sorry, can't help much...
