What’s for dinner?

 The Butterfly:

My husband and I are not strict vegetarians but try to eat plant based around 80% of the time.  Anytime you want to share your vegan Korean recipes I would love to see them!  :)

I love that!

https://thekoreanvegan.com is a great resource for plant based korean recipes. 

My personal recipe for sundubu-jjigae is one I came up with through modifying a couple traditional recipes. 

I start by adding 2 tablespoons gochugaru (red pepper flakes), the white/light green parts of 6 green onions, 6 minced garlic cloves (I like a lot of garlic, but this can be lowered by preference), and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil into a pot over medium heat. Stir and cook for around 2 minutes, then add in 1/2 cup (vegan) kimchi. Stir and cook for another minute. Then I add in 1 1/4 cup water, along with some dried kombu. You could also use vegan dashi made from shiitake mushrooms here. Then I stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, along with a combination of 1 tablespoon red miso and 1 tablespoon ume plum paste (or ume plum vinegar) to imitate fish sauce. Although, you can make homemade vegan “fish” sauce and use that instead. Let that come to a boil, and then add in your soft tofu! Once it’s boiled for a few minutes, turn off the heat, (use tongs to remove kombu), toss in the green parts of the green onions, and you’re done. Serve with rice, of course.

Do you ever put lemon in your potatoes? 'Cause I'm curious now if it's only us here, or even just me, lol!

In this area we don't use a lot of lemon except to give a quick squeeze over some veggies or fish.  @Penel gave me a recipe for Greek chickpeas and lemon soup/stew last year, which I followed as best as possible.  We'd never had that much lemon in a main dish before, but hubby went back for seconds!  One of these reasons I love this forum is the new ideas I get.  We'll have to try some lemon with potatoes next time.   :)

Mom's don't like to have their cooking compared.  Or wives.  Speaking of those bland beans, I'd never made beans in my life until I got married.  The first time I made them I followed my husband's instructions exactly.  His first comment, "These don't taste like my mama's"  to which I lovingly replied, "unless you are going to move back home so that your mama can cook for you, next time you make them so you can show me how your mama made them."   Never heard another complaint after that time.  LOL
