Cooking thread. Vegan Mushroom stroganoff with added tempeh for protein. Chopped two large leeks and 20 oz of mushrooms (lion's mane, oyster, crimini) yesterday and had them in the big bowl in the fridge.
Chopped tempeh
>>21994442>Veganthread binned
Need to do the mushrooms, leeks, and tempeh in two batches due to the size of my pan. First batch.
Cooking the noodles while the other mixture browns.
>>21994442>stroganoff
>>21994442how can it be vegan when you're using yeast you monster!
Coming along. Added garlic, thyme, and salt after it had cooked down a little.
Second batch.
Veggie broth, flour, vegan worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce.>>21994447Can't eat meat I'm afraid. You probably won't be able to either soon enough.
Same as before, garlic, thyme, and salt. Vinegar to deglaze the pan.
Veggie broth mixture, plus coconut milk. Nutritional yeast, paprika, tahini.
Let simmer for a while, then add chopped parsely. The recipe says dill is better but I despise dill.
Finish with a squirt of mustard.
All together with noodles, spinach, chopped steamed broccoli, and a few grinds of black pepper.
>>21994442Thanks, interesting!Is this your goto tempeh recipe, what else do you make with it?
>>21994492I use it a lot like meat. I put it in chili, italian spaghetti sauce, and yellow curry.
Did you boil the tempeh first to remove the bitterness?
>>21994523Nah, you don't notice it in with all the other flavors. Tempeh absorbs the flavor of whatever you cook it with so when you put it in with the mushrooms and leeks it just tastes of that instead of bitter beans.
>>21994534Lol no. That packaged tempeh is always bitter if it isn't boiled. Your taste buds are shot.
why don't you eat animal flesh?
>>21994569You need to stop fearing the bitter flavor. It's no longer an indicator of toxins, we ain't eating random weeds anymore. Bitter can enhance a dish same as any other flavor (admittedly the ceiling is considerably lower than something like sweet/salty).

>>21994442Clearly, you should not have been given access to that kitchen.
>>21994751Because it's technically a sin. I was utterly unhappy the day I found out that they were going to hold me to a vegan diet. We as a species are going to have to face the meat issue very soon, and it won't be pretty. I expect a significant amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth.
>>21995220who is "they"? >quoting the bible in defense of veganismweird, what about Acts 10:13-15:>Then a voice said to Peter, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.” But Peter said, “No, Lord! I have never eaten food that is unholy or unclean.” But the voice said to him again, “God has made these things clean, so don’t call them unholy!”
>>21995247>who is "they"?The guys upstairs running the show.And that part of Acts is being taken out of context, he was being shown the vision to get him to go preach to the gentiles. Paul later gets into eating in Romans 14:3 where he basically says to eatq whatever you want, but my diet is taken out of Daniel where he eats only vegetables and eschews all the king's fine foods. Biblically speaking, there's not a lot of support for a vegan diet outside of that bit, but it still happens to be true that humans are not supposed to eat the flesh of animals. Like I said, I'm not happy about it - I grew up eating meat and at this point I would damn near kill for a roast beef sandwich, but rules are rules.
>>21995220>>21995253Doesn't the Judeo-Christian God directly mention BBQ and how much he loves grilling some meat?
>>21994472try it with wide noodles next time, picks up more sauce making it more flavorful
>>21995253I’ve been vegan for a years now, mainly for ethical reasons, feel good on it. My wife still eats meat and in all honesty I don’t mind that she does. Her young son also eats meat but I try and give him non-meat options at meal times just for variety.
>>21995220>I was utterly unhappy the day I found out that they were going to hold me to a vegan diet>>21995253>>who is "they"?>The guys upstairs running the show.nigga what? who are you talking about? are you in some kind of cult?
>>21996277>My wife... ...Her young son...kek
>>21995220>>21995247>>21995253First of all, are you underage? Why the fuck are you letting other people decide what you can or cannot eat?And second, jesus ate meat, he even multiplied fishes for people to eat, why would it be a sin? What kind of religion is this?
>>21996302?
>>21994445What is tempeh?
>>21996578>What kind of religion is this?schizophrenism
>>21994805It's not fear. The bitter off taste is unpleasant. Tempeh is meant to parboiled to remove some of that unpleasantness. It's a common practice in tempeh eating cultures. I think you're just trying to justify your laziness and lack of tempeh cooking technique.
>>21996859Nope, I know actual schizophrenics, I asked them about it and they agree that this is retarded.
>>21996833It's fermented soybeans. It's traditional indonesian food.
>>21997072How is it made?
>>21997106Bunch of soybeans are pressed in a block with some kind of fungus. It's ready when the fungus grown into the beans so they're a solid block of bean and fungus.
>>21997149Raw soybeans or cooked?And what fungus? Where can I get the spawn for it?
>>21997196You can look up the process. Here's Wikipedia for a quick look.>Tempeh begins with whole soybeans, which are softened by soaking, dehulled, then partly cooked. Specialty tempeh may be made from other types of beans, wheat, or may include a mixture of beans and whole grains.[17] Adding vinegar during soybeans soaking process had also been reported in tempeh industries and it had been found to influence the sensory nature of the final product.[18]>The principal step in making tempeh is the fermentation of soybeans which undergo inoculation with Rhizopus spp. molds, a type of filamentous fungus most widely used for the production of tempeh. A fermentation starter containing the spores of fungus Rhizopus oligosporus or Rhizopus oryzae is mixed in.[19] The beans are spread into a thin layer and are allowed to ferment for 24 to 36 hours at a temperature around 30°C (86°F). The soybeans have to cool down to allow spore germination and abundant growth of mycelium. Later, the temperature of the beans will naturally rise and rapid mold growth happens for around 4 hours. As mold growth declines, the soybeans should be bound into a solid mass by the mycelium. In good tempeh, the beans are knitted together by a mat of white mycelium. Typically, tempeh is harvested after 48 hours of fermentation with its distinguishable whitish color, firm texture, and nutty flavor. Extended fermentation time results in an increase in pH and undesirable color darkening in the tempeh.[20]
