[ID: A large bowl filled with rice noodles, julienned carrot and cucumber, piles of herbs, and grilled 'chicken' strips; a bowl of sauce with minced chili and garlic is to the side. End ID]
Bún sườn nướng chay (Vietnamese rice noodle salad)
This is a vegetarian ("chay") version of bún gà nướng, a Vietnamese rice noodle ("bún") salad with grilled chicken ("gà nướng"). Chewy rice noodles, fresh vegetables and herbs, and a tangy, slightly spicy sauce combine with grilled or pan-seared 'chicken' to create a rich, flavorful, well-rounded dish. A marinade of lemongrass, sugar, garlic, and vegetarian fish sauce caramelizes around the 'chicken' as it sears, creating a sweet-and-savory crispy coating that perfectly complements the bright, herbacious salad. This dish can be made with Vietnamese sườn non chay, or with any meat substitute you have on hand.
Recipe under the cut!
Patreon | Tip jar
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
For the nước chấm (dipping sauce):
1/2 cup water
Juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1/4 cup vegan fish sauce
3 Tbsp sugar
1 red chili (de-seeded and sliced)
3 cloves garlic, minced
Fish sauce doesn’t take “like” fish, merely fermented and intensely salty. You can buy a bottle of ready-made vegan fish sauce from a Southeast Asian brand such as Au Lac, or you can make your own by combining the following ingredients:
For the vegan fish sauce (nước mắm):
3 Tbsp liquid from a jar of fermented bean curd
1 Tbsp white miso paste
1 Tbsp light soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
For the chicken (gà):
300g vegan chicken substitute (I used Gardein), or 100g sườn non chay
2 cloves garlic
1 stalk lemongrass (or substitute lemon zest or a bit of preserved lemon pulp)
Juice of 1 lime (2 Tbsp)
1 Tbsp vegan fish sauce
1 Tbsp vegetarian oyster sauce
1 Tbsp Vietnamese soy sauce
2 tsp vegetarian 'chicken' broth concentrate, or bột nêm chay (optional)
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp neutral oil
Sườn non chay may be found in bags online or at your local Asian grocery–the bags will be labelled “sườn non chay” as well as “vegan meat slice,” “textured soy bean protein,” “vegetarian food,” or “vegan food.”
Bột nêm is a Vietnamese seasoning sold in powder or granule form. Vegetarian (“chay”) versions of the seasoning may contain shiitake mushroom, lotus seeds, carrots, tomatoes, and kohlrabi, as well as salt and MSG. It can be purchased in pouches or boxes from an Asian grocery store, or you can use any other vegetable stock powder.
For the salad:
300g vermicelli rice noodles
2 cups bean sprouts
1 large carrot (julienned)
1 seedless cucumber (julienned)
6 leaves romaine lettuce (julienned)
1 bunch fresh cilantro
1 bunch fresh rau răm (Vietnamese mint), or mint
2 stalks green onion, sliced
Handful of peanuts
Fresh Vietnamese herbs can be found in the refrigerator section of an Asian grocery store, particularly one that specializes in southeast Asian food. You can also experiment with whatever leafy herbs you have on hand.
Instructions:
For the chicken:
1. (If using sườn non chay:) soak meat slices in cool water until rehydrated. Squeeze out excess water and cut each slice in half along its shortest dimension, to get two blocks of the original height and width.
2. Slice lemongrass. Peel away any tough, dry outer leaves to reveal the yellow-green leaves within. Remove the root end of each stalk, as well as the tough green portion at the top of each stalk (reserve this latter to boil in stocks). Thinly slice the tender yellow portion of each stalk.
Tumblr media
3. Mix all marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Marinate chicken for 20-30 minutes while you prepare the nước chấm and vegetables.
4. Remove the chicken from the bowl, leaving any excess marinade behind. Heat a couple teaspoons of oil on medium in a large pan then sear the chicken, turning once, until deeply golden brown on both sides (or use a charcoal grill). (If using a pan) filter marinade to remove lemongrass slices, then pour extra marinade over the chicken and cook, stirring often, until coated.
5. Cut chicken into strips, or as desired.
For the nước chấm:
1. Mix vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved.
2. Remove from heat and add minced garlic and chili. Pour into a bowl and allow to cool.
For the salad:
1. Boil the vermicelli according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cool water to halt cooking. Toss with a little bit of neutral oil to avoid sticking.
2. Roast peanuts in a dry pan on medium-low, stirring often, until golden brown and fragrant.
3. Julienne carrot, cucumber, and lettuce. Roughly chop herbs.
4. Plate vermicelli followed by vegetables, herbs, chicken, and peanuts. Spoon some nước chấm over the salad and set remainder to the side to serve.

i wrote a book called cooking is terrible, which you can buy on amazon, or at any of the retailers here, or pretty much anywhere you can buy books.
the main post was getting pretty long, and the faq was also pretty long, but people often ask what kinds of recipes are in it, so here are some example recipes!
butter bean salad
Rinse and drain a tin of butter beans. Add crumbled feta and capers. Dress with lemon juice, olive oil, and a little bit of mustard.
Variations: Add quartered marinated artichoke hearts. Add chopped red onion. Add fresh chopped parsley, or fresh or dried thyme. Add sumac to the dressing. (If you do all these things, you have a main course salad that is fancy enough to serve at a party, or to grudgingly take to the work potluck.)
Keeps in the fridge for three to five days.
shitty soup
This soup isn’t actually shitty—it’s actually nice, and I eat it a lot—but we started calling it shitty soup, and the name’s stuck.
Bring enough stock for one person to a boil.
Add about 2 Tbsp of pastina. When the pasta is nearly done (which is only like, two minutes), crack in an egg and turn the pot to a simmer. After about two minutes of simmering, add some sort of veggie—shredded carrots, fresh or frozen spinach, frozen peas—and let it cook for another minute or two. Tada! You’ve made soup.
You can change this up, and don’t have to include all three bits—pasta and a few veggies, or just an egg boiled in stock, is great, and totally a meal. I give all three components mainly so there’s a note about timing. There are a million variations on this—add tomato paste or sesame oil, add other veggies, cook the egg to different degrees of doneness, etc. You can add a little cheese at the end, or a handful of (rinsed) tinned beans, or shreds of previously cooked meat. But at its most basic, broth + something else = soup, which is a meal that you can totally manage to make for yourself in under ten minutes, and then you can smugly tell the internet that you’re sure that what they’re having is nice and all, but you’re having homemade soup. And let’s be honest—most nights, this soup is not good enough to justify that, but who cares. Sometimes you gotta take what you can get.
things you can put on top of cottage cheese or yogurt to make them feel more like an interesting meal
this is just a list of ideas. the things in parentheses are optional extras, though you can use—or not use—whatever you'd like.
Peach or pineapple chunks
Jam
Pumpkin or apple butter
Berries
Cantaloupe/rockmelon
Granola or muesli
Apples, cinnamon, and honey
Literally just honey
Cinnamon sugar
Sunflower seeds + raisins + shredded cheese
Chili powder + black beans + avocado
Chopped tomatoes + garlic (+ spinach) (+ steak seasoning)
Cut-up spinach and chopped green onions (+ tomatoes)
Sundried tomatoes and olives
Chopped cucumber and olives (+ za’atar)
Salsa or hot sauce
Chopped radish, ready cooked beets, or cucumber + dill (+ garlic)
Mix in a bunch of Milo, Nesquick, or other sweetened chocolate powder. (You might want to add a splash of milk.)
Mangos + cardamom (+ honey or other sweetener) (+ pistachios)
Balsamic vinegar (+ strawberries if you wanna get fancy)
Basically any fresh herbs you have + salt
A spoonful of nut butter (+ chocolate)
Dried meat (like pork or mushroom floss, or that weird shredded jerky) + green onion
if you think all this sounds terrible, that's cool—this is not the cookbook for you.
if you're like, 'oh shit, i could make that soup in less than fifteen minutes,' maybe pick up a copy.

Autumn (Fall if you're from US😅) Meal Prep!
Vegan, budget-friendly, for one person. You can double or triple ingredients depending on your needs. Buy more seasonal fruits and vegetables to keep it budget friendly.
Tumblr media
Disclaimer. In the morning, I usually eat overnights oats with frozen berries and/or crushed nuts. Here, I prepared food for lunch and dinner.
My menu:
baked pumpkin
baked vegetables: brussels sprouts, carrots and zucchini
marinated mushrooms
eggplant spread
salad: arugula, green beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, grain of your choice (mine was buckwheat)
0. Preheat the oven to 200C.
1. Marinated mushrooms prep. It takes time so let's start with mushrooms. Cut 7 white button mushrooms in quarters and slice 1 medium red onion. Add dry rosemary, smoked paprika, and 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar. Mix well and put it aside to get it marinated for 15-20 minutes.
Tumblr media
2. Meanwhile, cook buckwheat (or grain of your choice) according to the instructions on the package.
3. Buckwheat is being cooked; mushroom are being marinated; time to bake vegetables. Cut the pumpkin and brussles sprouts in halves, 1 eggplant, 1 zucchini, and 1 carrot like on the photo below. Put vegetables in the preheated oven.
Tumblr media
4. Marinated mushrooms cooking. Fry mushrooms with onion in the frying pan for 10-15 minutes.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5. Keep an eye on vegetables in the oven. Small pumpkin needs approx. 35-40 min. Remove vegetables from the oven once cooked. Brussels sprouts are shy as they don't look good in photographs like carrots and zucchini🙃 ok I forgot to take a photo of them.
Tumblr media
6. Eggplant spread. Put the roasted eggplant, 2 tbsp tomato paste, black pepper, and salt in the blender and mix to get the smooth spread.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7. Salad. Mix grain, arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans of your choice. I cooked frozen green beans. I mixed mustard, soy sauce, sriracha, and maple syrup for the dressing. Everything is to your taste. I add the dressing to the salad when I am ready to eat it to keep the salad fresh.
Meal prep is done. As I said, my go-to breakfast is overnight oats, and lunch/dinner is different combinations of what I cooked above, e.g., baked pumpkin and the salad, sandwich with the eggplant spread and vegan cheese, baked vegetables with tofu or canned chickpeas, fried mushrooms on toast, etc. Note: it's not everything what I ate during the last week but this meal prep helped a lot when you're hungry and don't have time to cook everything from scratch. I also are different fruits, berries, nuts, vegan yogurt.
Tumblr media
I hope it gives you more ideas. I want to make more posts like this, i.e., meal prep, and additionally food haul with prices. Like/repost if it's helpful.

Dream Chicken Sandwich Sushi Bomb 🍣🥪🍣
Tumblr media
Hello, it's Ushio. Today, I'd like to introduce one of my classic chicken dishes. We're taking crispy chicken and giving it a sushi sandwich twist. This is the perfect one-handed food, ideal for busy people and students preparing for exams. It's incredibly satisfying and delicious. Give it a try!
👨‍🍳 Recipe:
In a frying pan with some oil, add rice, salt, pepper, garlic, and consomme. Sauté over high heat, then mix in 2 tablespoons of ketchup to create Ketchup Rice.
Next, coat chicken, marinated in grated garlic and soy sauce, with potato starch, and fry until it's wonderfully crispy. Also, prepare sliced cucumbers, boiled eggs, and salad vegetables.
Once your preparations are complete, lay a sheet of seaweed in a mold and evenly spread the Ketchup Rice on top.
Add vegetables, chicken, a generous helping of chili sauce, boiled eggs, cheese, and cucumbers on top.
Finally, cover it with another layer of rice, remove the mold, and wrap it with seaweed. After wrapping, use a knife to cut it neatly. Wrapping it in plastic wrap and letting it rest for about 10 minutes before cutting will make it easier to slice.
Finally, drizzle with a special sauce made by mixing chili sauce, mayonnaise, and ketchup.
This Dream Chicken Sandwich Sushi Bomb is perfect for when you're craving a hearty and indulgent meal. It's an ideal late-night snack for hungry students studying for exams or for athletes and anyone looking for a substantial meal. You can easily enjoy it with one hand, and it provides a satisfying feeling of fullness. It's perfect for late-night snacks, snacks, and bento boxes. Give it a try! 👍

okay international working womens weekend daytime luncheon in my home for maybe 7-10 people, one week from today
nobody i really need to impress. if anyone confirms gluten free or dairy free i’ll fine tune, otherwise everything is always baseline meat free and nut free (with the option for me to throw in some tinned fish from my pantry)
snacky/salads vibe, maybe dips
for sure doing:
lemon poppy seed loaf. i REALLY want to do sally’s new lemon poppy seed muffins but i’d need to get a new muffin tin and we’re 📢 not doing too much
cardamom strawberry jam bars (craving cardamom stuff all the time)
pretty sure i can do both of the above without buying anything; although i’d have to make the jam from frozen strawberries (i want to pan anyway)
really want to do MOCKTAILS. i wouldn’t mind investing in a few staples for myself anyway. i think i for sure will get orange juice and and a sparkling juice— PLEASE RECOMMEND ! what would be a good second mocktail or some ingredients to buy? especially because i have several interesting bitters, including chocolate. and i could put out tart cherry juice i have, and i’ll make a pitcher of iced tea. oh maybe i should make iced chai from scratch 🤔 in any case this is where i’ll spend most money
central offering will be a bean dish, either a bean salad (WHATS THE BEST ONE YOUVE HAD?) OR (hot dish) the bean ziti smitten kitchen posted which… i want to do this. is it 📢 doing too much? yes. But. she said.. if i did i’d have to do bread with it, which makes me nervous (i don’t have good bread instincts)
if i go with SK i’ll have extra basil for a veg salad. it seems too early for the typical basil salad uses so i’d have to brainstorm. my go-to would be a carrot salad and a smashed cucumber salad, both of which are options but wouldn’t go that well. this would be a good time to try doing the viral salad seasoning pasta salad - should i…
i will for sure make japanese potato salad because i have a ton of kewpie to use up. in fact i may need to make a second kewpie salad
if i were going the dips route i’d the lauren toyota’s vegan nacho cheese but i’m just not inspired
a typical go-to spread for me might be the spicy sour cold spaghetti noodles from woks of life with carrot salad and cucumber salad and maybe marinated tofu but it doesn’t feel like the vibe
eta you know what, i have dates and am craving goat cheese dates, i should add those to the menu. i was going to avoid any fussy assembly but these would be worth it
i reaaally need to actually budget this because even though it’s arguably chapter business i can’t get chapter money (which i expected). the plan was to make asking for financial support (maybe $35 in food) for the women’s section a progressed structure test, but leadership failed structure test one (being willing to speak to us or respond to our communication when we told them we were organizing a womens day event) so i’m back to structure test negative one (them not murdering us)
so my plan is to have three dishes plus 2 sweet ones and all but 1 should be make ahead, and some chips maybe or something like that
however as you know i have a habit of doing too much for this sort of thing lol

With bounty from the garden, I made one of our favorite summer salads; cucumber, tomato and onion. Now just letting it marinate all day in a balsamic vinaigrette with avocado oil. We like to add fresh mozzarella as well. Yummy.
