Vegetarian Laksa Recipe

Laksa is a kind of popular Peranakan food, which is always found in countries like Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. It is a merger of Chinese and Malay spicy noodle soup. Although, it's spicy, many people just like its special taste. Originally, it's not vegetarian because shrimps or prawns are one of the ingredients. But, vegetarians can also enjoy this special food in certain vegetarian restaurants that also serve Peranakan vegetarian foods. I think this should be very common in most parts of these three countries mentioned above. 

I just found a video about vegan laksa on Youtube and here I would like to share it with you. Hope you can enjoy learning how to cook laksa.

What is vegetarian fried onion?

As we know that there are people going vegetarian for various different reason. Some vegetarian just don't eat meat, fish and other marine products. But some even don't eat onion, garlic, leeks and food of those kinds. These foods are said to have harm to people who don't eat meat at all (even though we usually hear that those foods have health quality, improving health in certain aspect).

I ever bought vegetarian Tah-mee (a kind of Chinese thin noodles with tomato sauce). This word "Tah-mee" is a word of Teochew, one of Chinese dialect. "Tah" means "dry" (cause it's dry tomato sauced). And "Mee" means "noodles".

"Tah Mee" usually has fried onion on it. Is it real fried onion or just some kind of food that is made to look like fried onion? Well, in fact the fried onion in the Tah-mee is not real one. Vegetarian restaurants know that some people don't eat fried onion so they put vegetarian fried onion which is "fried cabbage" which is cut into small pieces and fry until the color looks like real onion. And this is one of the simple secret in vegetarian food.  Of course they don't smell like real onion. Just for the look in that Tah-mee.

Famous vegetarian and vegan atheletes, bodybuilders and sportmen/sportwomen

Have you ever heard people saying that those who don't eat meat are not healthy and are always weak? This wrong view has been saying repeatedly over years when someone says he/she doesn't eat meat. Most people only think that protein and fat are obtained from meat.

Strong body doesn't only come from body training but also from foods. I think healthy body comes from the foods you eat. Proverb says "You are what you eat". Your body-training also plays a big role in maintaining health. If you know Shaolin, then you must know that Shaolin monks don't eat meat. They are vegetarian and they get strong by training, too.

Just now, I found a video at youtube that shows you those famous vegetarian and vegan bodybuilders, athletes, sportmen and sportwomen.

Tips for preparing foods for vegetarian children

Parents who are vegetarian are often tend to advise their children to become vegetarian too. This is because when parents think that vegetarian is healthy, they want their children to be healthy in their way i.e. to become vegetarian. Foods consumed by adult vegetarian could be different to those vegetarian children.

Parents should consider food variation whether in taste, flavor or even color when preparing for their children. This is because children tend to be more choosy when eating. They of course prefer sweeter food than bitter food (for example bitter gourd). Certain foods that are hard to eat because of the taste, could be rich in nutrition.

Don't stubbornly force your kids to eat foods they don't like. You can guide them slowly. Or you can think how to prepare the food in a different way. Serving the food in an interesting way is also meaningful. For example, if you want to let your children eat something nutritious but dislike by them, you can try using plate with cartoon characters they like. Most young children can be trick to have nutritious food in this way. Use drink combined with the food you prepare. Use juice they like to accompany the food you prepare. Of course, advising them to realize that the nutritious food is important for health is the main factor?

Have you got any tips for preparing vegetarian foods for children?
