Sunday Dinner: Veggies Medley Sauté dish and Mango pickles. 🌱🍄🧄🍅🥬🥭😋❤️

Hello everyone, hope you have a good rest of Sunday and a great start of the week! 🤗

I had early lunch at my parents today with rice noodle soup and veggies tempuras as they are also incorporating vegan diet in their daily meals these days. 😁👍👍

Since I had quite big lunch so for this evening, I made a mixture of many of my favorite veggies such as: bean sprouts, Chinese chives, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions. Just sauté them with a little bit of olive oil, garlic, herbs seasoning and a bit of gluten free soy sauce and pepper, garnished with sesame seeds. 😋

For dessert, my mom made me my favorite mango pickles to bring home and I love to sprinkle some chilly flakes to enjoy. 😁

As always, be inspired, be joyful, take a picture and Enjoy it! 😋❤️

Sounds like you enjoyed your lunch and dinner very much today😊. I'm glad your parents are incorporating some vegan meals too. They see that your diet changes helped you very much and become curious😁. Your veggie medley looks so good and mango pickles sounds delicious. Never had them but do enjoy regular pickles. Are they sweet n salty? Have a good night🤗🙏.

Thank you Zazen, 🤗🙏

I’m glad they are open to change at this age now. They don’t really consume meat anymore since my mom’s pacemaker but more veggies and fish once a week. My Dad eats whatever my Mom cooks so as long as she’s on board with vegan cooking, he is set! 😁👍

Mango pickles are sweet and sour, not salty, delicious snacks. My mom said she couldn’t find green mangos at the moment, she tried to pick the greenish ones among other regular red/orange ones so she made only one small jar for me this time but she looks out to buy when they are available. 😋👍

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday night! 😊

Good morning to you Happyman4,

Thank you very much my mom made them. 😋👍 I’m having some now 😂 She couldn’t find the green one so she used the big red/orange round mangos imported from Mexico to make them she told me. 😁

Your starting Monday sounds fantastic. 😁👍

How exciting a new Thai banana plant. I’m feeling for some homemade fruit compote Danish, it’s 8:30 pm here and do I dare to make them now 😂

Are you going to market today for some delicious breakfast and lunch ? 😄

[Hidden]

That’s very nice of you to share your jack fruit with your friend. You might come back with some pastries. 😁👍The tamarind and mango are so delicious looking. My mom used to make too and she deseeds them slice open so it soaks in all the juice. 😋

You know I found my vegan fishless paste sold in Amazon and it’s delicious to dip or cooking too. These days we can find many things to substitute. 😁👍

Enjoy your quality and fun time with the kids at the beach Happyman4. 🤗

I’m gonna see if I can make the fruit jam first so tomorrow morning when I’m up early I can make some Danish fast. 😁

😁👍

Your meal looks really good, and thanks for telling us about the vegan fish paste. I'll look for that. I sometimes buy vegan tuna which I enjoy, but it's very oily so I prefer to make my own 'fish' using tofu and nori sheets.

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you HungryHufflepuff for saying that! 🤗🙏Mixed sauté veggies are always delicious and healthy for any meal of the day. 😋👍

Yes I looked for it when I watched the food show as many Thai vegan restaurants have to find substitute for their traditional fish sauce in many of their popular dishes. They are great alternatives.

There’s also this one I got too for Tom yum soup and Oil-free, No refined sugar and so good when I make mushroom and lemon grass tom yum soup.

Your signature “fish” tofu and nori sheet is one of my all time favorite to make now. Thank you! 😋🙏

🌱😁👍

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, I'll look for the tom yum paste too. I'm glad you like the tofu with nori sheets 😋 It's one of my favourites too 😊

[Hidden in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Yes H, hope you can find over there and it makes delicious soup and sautéed dishes too. We don’t have to sacrifice anything and still can have delicious vegan dishes. 😁👍 Have a good day H.! 🤗

[HungryHufflepuff]

Good to see you Happyman. Again you've shown me a new food. Although I know about tamarind paste I've never seen an actual tamarind or known what it is. They look a bit like beans in your picture. Do they have the texture of beans when you eat them? Enjoy your visit to the beach 😊

[HungryHufflepuff]

Thank you for telling me about tamarind. I didn’t know there’s a sweet and a sour variety. It sounds like a versatile thing 😋

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator]

That sounds so lovely Koko, thats great your parents are incorporating some vegan food into there diet 😁 that looks so delicous and healthy

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Awe thank you Debs very much! 🤗🙏

My parents are living proof we can change our long term habit at any age if we can have an open mind and care for the affair of animals and environment. 😁👍

I had some leftovers today and just added to my lentil pasta, so delicious and easy. 😋

Hope you have a good night rest Debs! 🤗

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator in reply to Hidden]

So true Koko, thats really great and of course with your wonderful cooking and creative ideas - they could not fail to be impressed 😊 Leftovers with Lentil pasta sounds very nice to me 😁

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Thank you Debs very much. I’m very happy they are changing their diet slowly but surely. 😁👍I think red lentil penne is my favorite pasta now. 😋

Hope you are keeping warm and have a peaceful day so far! 🤗

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator in reply to Hidden]

That's great 😁 I am so pleased. I don't think I have tried red lentil penne, I have beetroot and red lentil and also pea penne - I will have to look out for some 😁

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Thank you Debs. 😁👍

I haven’t tried beetroot penne ever I need to try it too. Pea penne is okay for me. The red color will fade away when you boil it but I love the texture and taste better than the pea penne. Red lentil will have beet root competition now. 😋👍

[Kitten-whiskers Administrator in reply to Hidden]

There are lots of new choices for us - isn't it great 😊

[Hidden in reply to Kitten-whiskers]

Absolutely Debs, vegans can have varieties of wholesome and delicious meals nowadays. 😋👍

I just ordered this Italian Vegan sustainable production sorghum and beetroot lentil pasta, will share with you how they turn out once they arrive. 😊

😁👍

Yes Happyman4, the world is changing, moving forward and not going backward. For US diet now, almost 30 percents are plant based now which is a huge change. As for UK, Prince Charles in VeganNews declared that he went meatless 2 days a week to fight climate changes, any changes even small counts in my eyes. 😁👍

I made pie instead as I was busy this morning, I will post in a bit. 😋👍

[Hidden]

Hi Happyman4, It’s very interesting they have a new term now “flexitarian” in America. 😁 studyfinds.org/half-america...

You’ve been sleeping more so that’s great right? Hmmm olive bread sounds so good. They have this dipping olive oil and herbs at this pizza place by my house and they give olive bread sticks to dip with. Too bad they don’t have gluten free ones so I stopped going there for long time now.

Have fun making your olive bread as they look very delicious Happyman4. 😋👍

[Hidden]

Perfect! 😇👍
