Breakfast, lunch, dinner, every day. The occasional dinner or lunch out maybe 3-5 times per month. But, other than that, what I’m eating is the fruit of my own labor.
Currently fasting so I’ve had to get creative without being able to use any dairy products, eggs and cheese especially.
Some of my favorite lenten meals I’ve made this time around are:
-Bibimbap with homemade daikon radish kimchi
-Jumeokbap with beefless bulgogi (got the three pack from TJ’s for $5 and it was good but overpriced so I made my own big batch and they’re even better)
-Poor man’s hotpot AKA ttbeoki with ramen,enoki mushroons, pumpkin, etc.
-Vietnamese spring rolls with peanut sauce
- Many delicious variations of chickpea salad
- Lavash wraps with fried eggplant, hummus, baba ganoush, fried kabocha squash, etc.
- A vegan thyme ailoi that was one of the best creamy sauces I’ve ever made and used for a BLT with blistered cherry tomatoes and fake bacon.
- Cantonese salt and pepper tofu (literally one of my favorite dishes, fasting or not. roasting and grinding whole sichuan peppercorns will make you eat like a king)
- Chilaquiles with soyrizo and a delicious tofu egg scramble my husband made (black salt is a nonnegotiable for a tofu scramble imo!)
