Vegetarian hot-pot.

A pot for the table ... it's tofu.

Some mushroom and vegetables?

This is a vegetarian hot-pot.

Any ideas?

Fixed for you...



ETA: ooh, you changed your broken link. Now we have two recipes for the price of one.

I've tried to eat tofu several times, fixed in different ways. I'll just starve, thank you.

I would look for meaty mushrooms, my favorite is morels even though they’re unfortunately seasonal. I know there are other variations.

Next that is really important is the fat used. This is something that can make or break a good soup, if the fat is from neutral oils, it can just make it feel greasy, but meat based soups have nice depth if the stock is made right.

Now, I’ve never had seitan, but I’m in some online communities for people who do a lot of smoked meats, and some swear by doing seitan for their vegan participants, and some even claim it can fool carnivores. I have a rough understanding of what it is, I’m not sure how it would hold up in a liquid, though it may be okay if it’s added at the end which is how a lot of meats are done with hot pot anyways so they don’t overcook and or get tough.

A lot of it is probably going to be trial and error though. Vegetables and meat alternatives aren’t as forgiving with low and slow or even hot and fast for that matter. Combinations may not be as wrong as execution, the latter usually being the big difference between different cooks with the same recipes.

Fresh lions mane, cut it in to thick slices like steak, fry up in a pan, or chop it smaller and fry it with vegetables and noodles for example, its crazy, kinda like a mix of pork and crab meat.

Added bonus is that you are going to feel calm the rest of the day while its fixing neural pathways in your head.

Private?

Well better than shooting your Sarge in the face, in some Hanoi bar.

Growing up in an Asian household tofu was my most favorite dish.
Total comfort food.

It might be something you have to be exposed to from a young age. A lot of people have a problem with the texture.

Definitely! I'll be the first to admit I'm a picky eater, with texture being a deal-breaker sometimes. Poi elicited the same reaction. Okra is another thing I don't plan on trying again. lol

I love tofu too. Any way and all ways, I can't get enough of it. It used to be so much more affordable than it is now.

I blame the vegan woke crowd for gentrifying my tofu!

This is what you make for people that think they don’t like tofu. To this day haven’t met a person that doesn’t like this.
It’s the texture!

I cooked Tempeh (version of tofu) perfectly once and friend who completely dislikes tempeh loved it. It really all depends on how you cook it. Tofu and Tempeh are so amazing. It's not wonder Vegans are obsessed with it.
