Hello everyone, hope you have a peaceful Sunday so far! π€
Today Iβd like to share with you my simple traditional soup with the appreciation of Mother Nature that provides us a world full of abundance doing wonders for our mind and body. ππβ€οΈ
I love Lotus root which is one of our common cuisines in Asia. It is known for one of the most powerful plant that improves our immune system because of the 72 percent of vitamin C. On top of that, it also improves our blood circulation and regulates blood pressure because of the combination of copper, potassium and iron. In addition, there is a large amount of dietary fiber while low in calories that helps to improve the digestive system.
I love Seaweed for iodine, iron, calcium and Wood ear mushrooms for B vitamins folate, niacin (B3), and riboflavin (B2), combine with sliced ginger, vegetable broth base enhance the flavor of this soup so much. ππ
Vegan meals are always full of nutrients and vitamins from this Earth that put less stress on our body that has to keep on filtering nonstop toxins. ππ
Hereβs the link to Lotus Root if you want to find out more the beauty of this plant π± β€οΈ:
That really does look amazing. I donβt think Iβve ever had lotus root, so thank you for the link. I often use seaweed in cooking though as I love the flavours and as you say itβs full of essential minerals. π
My favourite dish made from seaweed is probably a βfishβ made from tofu, the plain tofu is more like a white fish I guess, like cod maybe, and smoked tofu is more like I think smoked mackerel (I think? Having never eaten that)
Very interesting using tofu as vegan βfishβ π€, I definitely will look into this. I had fermented tofu before and it is delicious. They also make wood ear mushroom firm tofu and itβs delicious. I was pescatarian before adapting to vegan diet so I did try smoked mackerel and I can imagine what you said. ππ
This is one of my favourite seaweed dishes, tofu fried in nori sheets, itβs very simple but tastes good. Now Iβm really intrigued about lotus root and will have to look out for some, probably it would be canned. I love to try new things π
Thank you H. for sharing your favorite seaweed dish. π€π I love everything on the plate, so delicious and well presented. (Also love your beautiful plate). My mom usually makes veggie egg rolls just like yours. π I sure will give it a try to make nori wrapped tofu, thank you for introducing new recipe to me. Hope you can find lotus root in your area and have fun cooking them . ππ
Excellent dish with an abundance of nutrientsπ. Its perfect for detoxing and preventing diseases. I love giving my body dishes like these too. I haven't had seaweed much before but I'd like to add some to my daily diet now for sure. Thanks for sharing and have a good evening π€π
Thank you Zazen very much! π€πThey are deliciously healthy and very comfort in a bowl of soup. I feel very energetic with this meal. Hope you can find some in your area too and easy to make. ππ
Iβm sure you mom cooks this from time to time, esp with peanuts during new year as a simple of prosperity also. It is crunchy when you stir fry it. ππ
Hi Happyman4, thank you very much for sharing your cooking expertise with me! ππ
You are absolutely right, I wanted to cook this with lotus seeds but I didnβt have at the moment until I go to Asian market.
We make vinegar lotus stems salad sooo delicious also. So many things we can make out of lotus π
I keep the dried wood ear mushrooms in my kitchen cabinet all the time as I make many salad with them.
Hope you have a good start of the day! π
