this is good. I make it a bit differently, but I have weird taste, so I googled the proper recipe for you.

KOSHERI -- LENTILS AND RICE WITH A TANGY TOMATO SAUCE
(Serves 6)

2 cups uncooked brown or white rice
1 pound lentils
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 Tablespoon crushed garlic
Two 16-ounce cans of tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
1 medium onion

Cook rice according to directions. Rinse lentils and put them in a pot, covering them with water, and bring to a boil. Then simmer on low heat until almost all water is absorbed and lentils are well cooked. Add extra water if longer time is needed. To make the sauce, first saute the garlic in 1 Tablespoon oil until golden. Add both cans of tomato sauce and simmer 10-15 minutes. Add water and vinegar and bring to a boil. Remove from heat immediately and add salt to taste. Finally, slice onion in thin, small pieces and saute in remaining 1 Tablespoon oil until brown and crispy.

This dish should be arranged as a layer of lentils (on the bottom), followed by a layer of rice, then another layer of lentils and another layer of rice. Sprinkle the onions and the sauce on top before serving.

1/3 pound of Egg Noodles.
1/4 cup of ginger oil (Hard to find, We buy ours at world market)
1/4 cup of Pure Sesame oil (kadoya brand is the best)
1/2 cup of Teriyaki sauce (Kikkoman brand is a great choise)
2 cups of water
1/2 cup of cooking michiu
Add any veggies you want~ It's great anyways.

First add the Sesame oil, water, ginger oil, teriyaki sauce and cooking michiu and bring to a boil (Covered.) On a different pot, cook the egg noodles in water, and a bit of any oil (To make sure they don't stick) in the other pot, after letting it boil, add the veggies. Boil on med. for 15 minuets. Add the noodles mix inn, cook for a extra 5 minuets. (Let simmer mix the flavors) And Mm if you want thickness, add a little corn starch, water mix in.

What kind of food do you cook now? There are so many vegetarian dishes it is hard to know where to start. I really like roasted root vegetable soup (pureed). I couldn't really tell you specific ingredient size but at least it will be a good template to work from.

Assorted root vegetables/squash (potato, carrot, etc) peeled and quartered
olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper
4 garlic cloves whole
chopped fresh herbs (sage, basil, thyme whatever ya got generally works and I enjoy letting my cooking change each time I make something)
cream (if vegan can sub coconut milk with a little curry and ginger and it tastes great)
vegetable stock/broth

It really is pretty simple. Combine the first six ingredients (save some of the herbs to use at the end if you want) in mixing bowl coating vegetables/squash/garlic generously with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake in oven on 425 until tender (30 minutes maybe depending on oven and veggies). From there simply put veggies in blender with stock and cream and puree seasoning to taste. In this process there is a lot of room for experimentation. You can add anything you want at the end to spice it up (ginger, curry, fresh herbs, etc.) and you can try adding some white wine into the process. As well as make it a completely vegan dish with some simple substitutions. You could probably even do it raw as well. Stores easily if you want to make it ahead of time and just add water if you want to thin it out and reheat.

Ratatouille is a really great vegan dish. Just be careful if you store the veggies together with the noodles, I've learned that the eggplant will turn them this really icky green/purple color.


It's a very satisfying dish.

I have one I loved, and Im not even vegetarian lol. Zucchini Pizza

It sounds weird but seriously try it before you think its bad.

you will need:

-2 large eggs
-4 cups of grated zucchini
-1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese
*ground tofu (the stuff that looks like hamburger or if you dont like that skip it all together)
-1/2 cup chopped onion
-3/4 cup of red or green pepper chopped
-3/4 cup of mushrooms
-1 cup of pasta sauce

-oregano, pepper and garlic to taste

-4 oz (or however much you like) shredded mozza cheese

Steps:

-preheat the oven to 400f
-beat eggs, mix zucchini and cottage cheese into eggs. pat the mixture onto a nonstick cookie sheet (or if its a bit runny use a pie plate) and bake ten minutes.
-saute the onion, peppers and mushrooms, warm up your pasta sauce and add the veggies (and tofu if you choose to use it) and the garlic, pepper and oregano. Spread over the baked zucchini crust and top with mozza cheese, bake for another 20 minutes at 350f

***you could really add any veggies you feel like, its a recipe that can be altered to fit your taste.

There are so many vegetarian options :3 Its quite yummy too!

So if you dont know what bento is...
Bento (written 弁当), or obento (お弁当) to use the honorific term, is the Japanese word for a meal served in a box. Beyond that basic definition though, just about anything goes as to what kind of box or container is used, as well as what is put inside that box,.

This is absolutely delicious!

For more vegetarian bento recipes check out the page designated for it biggrin JustBento.com's Vegetarian Page (They also have a vegan page :'D )

I'm not a vegetarian, but I do like vegetarian food now and again. What I do is:

I use either olive, canola or sesame oil (you can use which ever you prefer) If we have sesame i use that.

Pour about a teaspoon of oil into the wok and put it on low heat
Chop up some vegetables i.e. mushroom, squash, brocolli, califlower, beans, carrot, any vegetables you like really.
Then you put water onto to boil, put the salt in once the water boils (putting the salt in before it boils will only slow the boiling speed down)
Throw the vegetables into the wok and use a wooden spoon to stir when needed. Once the water has started to boil you can put in 2 cakes of 2 minute noodles, once thy have cooked strain them and use a pair of kitchen sissors to cut them shorter.
Keep the heat on the vegetables and add some soysauce (if you like) and sweet chilli sauce.
Once the vegetables are soft put the noodles into the wok. Mix everything together and serve.

Hope this gives you some inspiration biggrin

For those who are not vegetarian you can also put meat in. But make sure it is cooked all the way through before throwing in vegetables.

I been vegetarian now for almost 2 years off and on the year before the 2 years began. so a total of 3 years. (kinda) if your still in need of some recipies PM me. lets chat. I have some the family made some I made and some that are just flat out my favorite. smile

Rice and beans I've learned is a very easy to make vegetarian dish. It is one that is good to eat often as it has complete proteins.

A lot of side dishes can be used as main dishes. Our roommate is vegetarian and we found if we make two or three side dishes it makes a satisfying meal.
A quick side dish turned main dish we make is butternut squash pesto pasta. Peel a butternut squash, best with a vegetable peeler. Then cut it into about 1 inch. chunks. Boil water with a little bit of salt, just a quick dash. Add the pasta and the squash together, about a box for a full squash works well. Boil until the noodles are done. Drain and add the pesto, we used canned ones you can buy at Walmart because we have no luck with basil plants surviving in our apartment. Two jars tends to work well. Works great. I add a little curry powder to the pesto for a kick, works great with the sun dried tomato pesto.

Make sure to get plenty of B vitamins and iron. That is the main issue our roommate has with her diet. Mind you she isn't the best of vegetarians. She hates fruit and vegetables.
I would suggest getting your levels checked once in a while, especially if you feel like you're dragging energy wise. Then you know if you need to modify your diet or if you need to add vitamins.
