Fried Tofu-dough stuffed with Mushrooms and Cabbage, and Tofu - Green Peas - Mushrooms - and Onion... all in one soup, that's my lunch today, and dinner this night (just eating it while I write this thread)

Yep... it was all happened when I open my fridge, and Alas... only vegetables left... no eggs, and no meats or fish.... and for worse, I have a lot of vegetables, that must quickly used, if not, they are spoiled....

So, with anything left in my kitchen... (coupled with my lazyness to run towards the nearest supermarket), I decide to create myself a forced vegetarian recipes... that was surprisingly tasty, so I want to share that with all of you...

- and margarine for frying the dough

1) Mix the tofu with corn stratch, and just keep mixing it with hand until it was too sticky, add some margarine, and start mixing again, after that, add garlic and onion (crushed)
2) Cut the cabbages and the mushrooms in small pieces, and mix it up with the dough, add some water if required
3) Add salt and clove powder, mix until they formed near - uniform dough, and then add the chili (small slices)
4) Made some disc from those dough, and fry them on hot melted margarine... fry until light brown and crispy

Oh a friend of me is from Indonesia and we do a rice-table at his grandma every now and then and she likes it hot an spicy, I am used to it, but most of us western lot would use it to remove paint if it contains that much chili.

I think it needs more, like... 10 large red chili's, or those little tiny red ones that will blow your head off. about 100 of those sucka's. I guess thats a perk of living in little mexico USA, I get a ton of spicey foods.

Looks tasty.

We grow these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_pepper) in our garden, super tasty with a pretty good kick (about twice as spicy as tabasco).

Yeah... but I use less spicy variety, that was larger as well... but adding them is only good if you want to add some meat.... vegetables are not too comfortable with super tasty chili

You can't have a meal without meat. Unless it's a desert...
Though tiramisu-beacon isn't half bad.

Next time you run out of proper food, just tell me and I'll give you a goat to eat :clown:

And yeah, if I were you, I'll add more chili to your dishes.

I am actually going to try Weird Vegetable Soup if for no other reason than the name is spirited.

I figure the ingredients will cost me about 6 dollars. If I am not satisfied, you owe me 6 dollars.

It was actually a very cheap meal here in Indonesia (well, I'll explain the price difference now)

- two lump (about 200 gr) of mashed tofu
--> Tofu is definitely a cheap things in Indonesia... they are about Rp 2000 per ounce, so total will be approximate Rp 4000 ($ 0.4)

- a glass full of frozen green peas (about 200 gr)
--> He often stock frozen green peas in plastic bags... it was priced Rp 2500 per ounce, so total will be approximate Rp 5000 (S 0.5)

- a big onion (about 150 gr)
--> Onions are really cheap thing in Indonesia, well, especially the big bombay onion... it was priced Rp 1000 each ($0.1)

- a bowl full of black ear mushrooms (about 200 gr)
--> It is common Asian mushroom, priced Rp 1500 per ounce so total Rp 3000 ($ 0.3)

- some garlic
--> He must used his spare garlic from backyard... it was common spices here (free)

- some chili
--> He probably pick that from his backyard (free)

- and some coconut gravy (about 200 ml)
--> And that thing is cheap (Rp 2000) ($ 0.2)

so all he need for his soup is only worth $ 1.5 ..... and you say it was $ 6 :laugh4:

Problem is that these ingredients are far more expensive in the United States than in Indonesia,

Ahh... just confirmed after seein the US price of mushrooms... black ear mushrooms are really exspensive there... too bad, an usual low-middle class diet here is a diet of high-end vegetarian in the US :laugh4::laugh4: Too bad... those vegans are raising your market prices :laugh4::laugh4::laugh4: :clown:

Most of the flattish-thinnish fungi are virtually tasteless anyway, and only serve to add texture. Replace with something else crunchy, or just do without.
