Looks great and I love Lasagna. Used to work with a Polish lady who made the best lasagna including a layer of salami .

Itās a good dish that you can do so many variations to. Itās a full on process though. I made 2 smaller trays and have put them in the freezer uncooked for another time. If youāre going to all the effort may as well make the most of it I say.

Chilli sauce on top of the ramen - which one and how hot? Looks delicious
Very fancy!
Gonna go vego in June. Hit me with any nice recipes you guys have come across. Doing it for health reasons and because my tiny daughter loves animals and I feel weird eating them.

My kids always loved rice paper rolls. When my daughter went vego we would substitute our standard meat ingredient of sautĆ©ed chicken thigh strips in Hoi sin for tofu fried off in garlic and splodged with Hoi Sin. If you get a med-firm tofu, cut into strips you almost donāt notice itās not chicken, because of the salads and sauces/strong flavours. You can make your standard dipping sauce of course. Our other typical ingredients are not really authentic. But anyway I will usually make a rapid carrot pickle, and slice avocado capsicum and tomato. Shred some lettuce. Make an omelette and slice it. Mince up some garden Vietnamese mint, mint and basil /coriander - whatever is growing. Oh and very non authentic is my favourite condiment - minced fresh ginger and minced spring onion, lots of salt, lots of peanut or rice bran oil, and a dash of sesame oil - this stuff ends up the consistency of pesto and is great on poached or drunken chicken, fish, pork etc. and I put it in rice paper rolls. And some minced hot chilli or Sri racha. If you add the flavours into the roll you can forgo the dipping sauce.
Of course with all these ingredients itās hard to stick to the golden rule of not overfilling the rolls! And Of course the base ingredient to all rice paper rolls is rice vermicelli.
They are not really like the authentic ones - but we like them better!
Despite often messing them up, kids always loved making their own rolls as well!
We would usually still do the chicken, but sometimes didnāt bother and everyone liked the tofu ones pretty much the sameā¦

When my daughter went vego, and before she moved into a share house, I usually tried to work in stuff with protein, calcium, B12 etc.
I donāt think TVP is quite the same as minced beef in a spaghetti bol, but hey if you put lots of flavour and a hit of chilli in there, itās not too bad. Then pulses - beans in burritos (with cheese for calcium), curries/dahl. Fried rice/nasi goreng with egg in it and/or a fried egg on top. Veg lasagne with cheese for calcium and mushrooms.
If you do stir fries, a nice side dish is simple soft tofu steamed and served with a splodge of vegan oyster sauce, maybe a bit of ginger (or that ginger-salt condiment in the earlier post) and a drop of sesame oil on top. Iād always serve stir-fries with a rapid egg scramble like my Chinese dad used to. We call it āChinese omeletteā. Protein hit (and weāve always had backyard eggs)ā¦
I really like eggplant. Some donāt. That Japanese eggplant with a miso based sauce on top is pretty nice. And you can make eggplant schnitzelā¦ oh and potato/eggplant curry is an old staple as a hearty veg dish.

Eggplant is elite. Some of my all time fave dishes in various cuisines have eggplant as the star ingredient.
