I suggest: Tempeh - nutritious and easy to prepare. The steam + season toss method:



I cook every 2 weeks.

If 吃不习惯 can try the 锅贴 method.
1- Add oil fry a bit when bottom is slightly caramelized, add water to 1/2 of tempeh. close lid.
2- Same like in video when water evaporates, spray cooking oil on top. then flip
3- repeat 1~2

Result: top and bottom crispy, middle is steamed

There is a non-aircon coffeeshop stall at Blk 443 Clementi (near the bus interchange). Sell vegetarian oyster egg omelette at $11. Felt disappointed. Very small portion and the mock oyster is super rubber feel during biting.
No offense no oyster they dare to sell so ex?
Wtf

My area sell 8 dollars with oysters I don't even want to buy

Haven't tried tempeh before but it does look interesting. As I watch this clip, I am reminded that I can actually buy natto from don don donki and eat with my plain rice, I actually like natto very much.

Can try with grated raw Japanese mountain yam and chopped ladyfingers to mix with natto. Add some ponzu and it’s flavorful enough.

Yeah good idea, they are all sticky sticky so it should be quite a chewy delicacy when mixed together.

i'll try your cooking method. i make my own tempeh at home. traditionally tempehs are actually made using black soy. When fresh, they actually smell amazing. but when put in fridge will lose the fragrance.

Happy Realm 素食林 at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery.

Google says opening hours is 9.30am to 1.30pm? Is it true? Very short period.
Info is correct.

Tempeh is sort of Indonesian natto.
While the mycelium fungus is killed during the cooking process, the predigested
amino acids makes it easier to absorb into the body. So a plus.
It has a unique taste, when fried, a bit like tofu.
Of cos, it is made from soya.
I like natto also.
The reason why I eat tempeh every 2 weeks is I slot natto in between those.

sourdough is something i plan to commit to when i have the extra time. My cousin makes very good sourdough, once i'm ready i will ask her to teach me. At the moment, still need to buy sourdough. I currently make kombucha as it is easier but it seems like kombucha is really bad for stomach for long term drinking. Too acidic. i've seen people creating bread using kombucha culture also, which is kinda amazing.
