March 11th, my mum and I did a lifetime commitment - to become a vegetarian.
There were so many reasons why we did so. Mainly religious/spiritual purposes and also to safe the environment and to not harm/slaughter our lovely friends, the animals.
Human being are not superior to any other organism, we are all equal, just because animals could not express their inner feeling through human languages, this doesn't mean that they do not feel the pain and do not have fear when killed.
It's very hypocrite when you say you love animals or your pet how much much and still have McD for lunch.
>.<
Anyway, I'll tell you more details about the benefits of being vegetarian later on. Not today perhaps.
:)
Since i'm at home now, preparing a meal (with refrigerator and a stove) is wayy convenient than being in the hostel. I can do whatever meal i want, and no need to worry whether the food contains anchovies (ikan bilis), fish slices, and chicken stock.
I've been mis-eating them in college for long T.T And I felt ultimate guilty about that.
So,
I've been experimenting lots of delicious vegetarian meal! So that when I meetup with the bffs, i get to show off my skills! xD
There you are, an easy and yummylicious meal,
The balanced colourful complete dish.
I really dunno what to name it. You guys just name anything you want la haha.
Ingredients:
Shredded carrot
Raw lettuce ( washed and drained)
Baby sweetcorn
Pumpkin
Tempeh (Malay fermented soya)
Organic seaweed tofu
Extra virgin olive oil (optional)
Pepper
Salt
Method:
(1) Pan-fry (without using any oil, use little water only, so that it won't stick on to your pan) the tofu and tempeh together. Add a pinch of salt and pepper for flavour.
(2) You gotta steam your pumpkin too.
(3) When the tofu and tempeh is almost cook, add the chopped baby sweetcorn to cook as well.
(4) While waiting, shred the carrots and place them a side.
(5) Drain the raw lettuce and pluck them into a smaller size, put them in a pretty bowl as the base of your dish.
(6) Now, all your ingredients are prepared. Just let your creativity wander and arrange them in your bowl the way you like :)
(7) When you are done arranging, drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil.
DONE

Pick-A-Boo
I came up with this dish because I was thinking of a dish which is balance and complete. Because hor, i really very lazy to cook other things seperately. So why not just throw everything together to make it simple?! :D
Brilliant.
So,
You have your complex carbohydrate - pumpkin and sweetcorn. Protein - tempeh and tofu. And lots of fiber - lettuce, carrot and sweetcorn.

Something extra - Chia seeds with honey water.
My mum found this Chia seeds recommended by her colleagues. It is rich in Omega-3 and 6. Great alternative if you cannot take cod-liver oil (non-vege)

Burrrp! Satisfying and healthy.
No animal harmed. We're blessed to have such a wonderful meal. :))
