Last month we held a wonderful vegetarian Buddhist feast at the Australian School of Meditation and Yoga West End. We had over 40 people attend, so it definitely proved to be a very popular class. One of the reasons so many people came is because they are looking to find out more about meat substitutes. Not a lot of people are aware of the many and varied soy products available from Asian supermarkets. This is a very easy and tasty way to substitute the meat in your diet. The substitutes are suitable for vegans and are sometimes so realistic that people aren’t sure if they are actually real. They are extremely high in protein too. I’ll be posting some of the vegetarian recipes demonstrated at the class over the coming days including:
Vegetarian dumpling soup
Mock Fish in black bean sauce
Sweet and sour mock chicken
Buddha’s nine jewel hot pot
Buddha's Roast duck
Fried noodles with peanuts and sweet corn
Spring rolls
Seven treasure fried rice
Thai style coconut sticky rice
Red bean pancake
