At the moment of the epidemic, after the resumption of work, people are still anxious, and more and more people are paying attention to reducing the burden on the body. The light -breaking and vegetarian food we have reported earlier are good solutions (View details she studied for 8 years, teaching How do you eat and thinner!). Regarding vegetarian food, people who do not know may have doubts: Will there be enough nutritional intake of vegetarian vegetarian? Is the taste too light and single?

Vegetarian expert Zhang Xiaoma

In order to explore these issues, in mid -June, our phone connected to a vegetarian blog advocating pony. In the past 7 years, she has shared more than 600 vegetarian recipes and edited 5 vegetarian food books.

Among them, the MOOK (magazine book), which is the first domestic concept and lifestyle edited by her: "Magazine Book):" Taste of the Future "has won the World Food Wine Book Award. Today, we listen to her about vegetarian food. (Inside containing vegetarian recipes)

The following is Zhang Xiaoma's self -report:

I am a pony. I was originally a top -level meat enthusiast. Until 2015, I met my lover. He was a vegan. His appearance made me have to think about the feasibility of a vegetarian lifestyle.

Initially, I thought it was troublesome to be vegetarian. When eating with him, although he did not ask me to eat meat, I would be a little overwhelmed and sorry for the meat.

What impressed me most was that one night was particularly hungry. I wanted to go out to eat something. At that time, it was very late. Many restaurants were closed. After a long time, I finally found a beef ramen shop. I love someone not to put beef. The boss said that the soup base is a broth, but this can not be eaten. I was hungry at the time, and I wanted to be vegetarian. It was terrible.

Later, I watched a documentary "Earth Citizen". It talked about how human beings slaughtered and abused animals from food, clothing, pets, entertainment and scientific research. I touched it deeply.

At that moment, I decided to be vegetarian.

At the beginning, I didn't know much about cooking. They all ordered the takeaway of professional vegetarian restaurants, or some vegetarian dishes in ordinary restaurants, such as hot and sour potato shreds and garlic broccoli.

There are only vegetables in the dish of vegetarians. I eat different types of plant foods, such as bean valley vegetable algae, fruits, nuts, seeds, mushrooms, etc. to obtain complete protein and other nutrients.

My vegetarian road is smooth, and I have no repeated criminals. For 3 months, I naturally lost 10 pounds, and my body was lighter than before, and my mental state became better.

When I was editing a fashion magazine lifestyle, it was black and white upside down every day. The diet is very unhealthy. Sometimes, in order to decompose and refresh it, I will mix the wine into the coffee in the morning. As a result, I have severe gastroesophageal reflux gastritis.

After half a year of vegetarian food, it was amazing that my gastritis healed without taking medicine, and the resistance became stronger. In my memory, in the past 7 years, I have hardly had a cold.

In 2020, my lover and I returned to his hometown Spain. After coming to Europe, I found that there is a huge difference in Chinese and Western vegetarian. Under the influence of culture and religion, Western society is more tolerant of vegetarians, but it can provide very little dishes, which is relatively single, almost all of them.

Pony's life in Spain

Different in China, you can order a bunch of vegan dishes to any Chinese restaurants. However, as soon as the Chinese people mention vegetarian food, there will be stereotypes. Naturally, they think of clearing their hearts, seeing red dust, and thin yellow muscles. Most people carry "colored glasses" to vegetarianism and feel that this group is the heart of the Virgin and abducts others morally.

At first my family, including my close friends, knew that I suddenly decided to be vegetarian and felt that I was crazy, thinking that I was stunned by love. A friend even asked me if you would eat animal -shaped biscuits?

Vegetarian recipes shared by pony

At the beginning, I would reject it back, and a fierce quarrel, but it was nothing to help. Most people's eating habits are very deep. As soon as you love to eat meat, you conclude that this person is cheerful and open -minded, and when you hear you vegetarian, you will feel that you are weak and uncomfortable.

I think the best way is not to quarrel, not preaching, but to slowly affect others. So after resigning in fashion magazines, under the wrong yin and yang, I went to the vegetarian media "vegetarian planet" as the editor -in -chief of the book and published 5 books about vegetarian food.

"We decide to eat more vegetables" is the first book I made, which records the story of 34 vegetarians. Their understanding of vegetarian food and the course of vegetarianism, and the recipes shared are also classic.

Among them, a recipe shared by Italian professional vegetarian chefs, I still remember it. He cut the beet's root into thin slices, soaked in rose water, and made it into the skin of Italian dumplings with it, which was light and not greasy.

Over time, my family and friends accepted me vegetarian. For example, family dinner, a large table was amaranth, and only one or two cold dishes were vegetarian. But after I was vegetarian, they never understood it. They would make vegetarian dishes for me. At least half of the dishes at the family banquet I could eat.

I often receive information sent by good friends now, "I have eaten a delicious one today, it is still a vegetarian, we can make an appointment next time", "I have also wanted to be vegetarian recently" and many other positive discussions. I believe that this is a good change.

After I came to Petín, a small city of Spain, I realized my dream of life.

We live on the mountain. When I first came, I felt like I was back to my child. I looked up at night to see the bright stars, and everywhere was full of vitality and freedom. The sunshine here is very long, and it is still like afternoon in the afternoon in the evening.

Pony grows dishes

I have never seen chestnut trees before. I came here to know that the chestnuts had grown on the tree. In autumn, we will go to the mountains to pick mushrooms. I still grow vegetables in the back garden, and my self -sufficient rural life gives me the beauty of my life.

Recently, the cherry season in Spain is here. The neighbors greeted us to pick it up. Forget it, this year we have gained more than 50 pounds of cherries. They are ready to be equipped with dried red wine and rock sugar, and boiled fresh cherry sauce.

But it also exists. The types of fruits and vegetables here are particularly small. I have not eaten schedules such as leek, winter melon, bamboo shoots, dragon and fruits, etc. I can only use the most common ingredients in Spain: tomatoes, potatoes, green peppers, red pepper, and vegetarian Spanish dishes.

Like this vegan Spanish seafood rice, I used brown rice, eagle -mouth beans, tomatoes, zucchini, sweet peppers, onions, olives and spores, and received a lot of praise from my family.

Patatas Bravas

One of the most common Tapas in Spain

Tudou is probably the destiny of the Spanish. This national classic TAPAS, every restaurant in Spain will be available. The key to delicious is the soul sauce. I use olive oil, onion, garlic and pepper powder sauce, which is rich and delicious. It is a must for the fried potatoes that are fried to the soft inside.

Because of the epidemic, I have not returned to the country for more than two years. In addition to my family, I miss the colorful Chinese cuisine most. I want to eat a hot pot on Haidilao with a small material table.

At the beginning of the food, the dishes I tried were also very single. But in 7 years, after making and tasting countless vegetarian cuisine, I realized that: It was originally a vegetarian diet that was not equal to a light and tasteless diet, and the vegetarian food could be made.

Choosing a vegetarian food is only rejected animal products, rather than rejecting the taste that I like. Share it with you 6 unparalleled vegetarian recipes, absolutely subvert your imagination of vegetarian food, exquisite and delicious.

01 Tomato stew mushrooms slowly

Tomato Slow Stew Mushroom

This tomato stewed mushrooms was learned from the Spanish Vast Encyclopedia published in 1969. Spanish stewing practices are very simple. Pour olive oil in the pot, add white onion and garlic, stir fry until it becomes golden yellow, pour it in the pipe, wait for it to slowly produce the soup, pour it into it, and pour it in. Tomato, add salt to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

The tomato was cooked with the juice, and the rich tomato aroma burst out. It was sliced with a crispy stick to be grilled and satisfied! I finished eating, saying that it was exactly the same as what he was impressed.

02 Vegetarian braised pork rice

Vegetarian rice meat rice

Unexpectedly, braised pork rice can also be made of vegetarian food. I use soybean protein grains and shiitake mushrooms instead of pork belly. Soy protein tastes the taste of lean meat. The shiitake mushrooms are smooth and delicate, and they are similar to fat. If you can't buy soybean protein, you can also use roasted bran or oil tofu instead. The effect is the same. Remember to use Jinlan ointment, the sauce taste is stronger.

03 Tofu Eel Rice

Tofu eel rice

With false eel rice, most people make eggplant. I tried to make a tofu version: crushed northern tofu and put it in the cooking machine, add ordinary flour, ginger powder, white pepper powder, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and beaten into delicate mixtures. Cut the sushi seaweed into small pieces, lay the tofu on top, press the lines of the eel with the back of the knife, and fry the tofu until golden, and finally adjust the roast juice.

The delicate taste of the tofu is almost no different from the fish. The seaweed has the taste of the sea, and the low card is full.

04 Quinoa Tianbei asparagus salad

I am "the stars will be dead without salad", the natural taste of the mixing of fruits and vegetables, fascinating me. Quinoa Tianbei asparagus salad, low calorie, high protein, people who can eat more. I also paired with Japanese sushi -flavored sauce, and I also put a little mustard. The taste was like a loose sushi.

05 Poor Potato

Poor Potato

Patatas de Pobre, literally translated as "poor people's potatoes", is a Spanish home -cooked dish I learned. It only needs potatoes and onions to make. The essence of this dish is that you must fry the onion until golden, the potatoes are softened, the soup is strong, and the aftertaste is a little spicy.

06 Italian black vinegar fried mouth mushroom

Italian black vinegar fried mouth mushroom

I especially like to eat mushrooms. It cooks a lot of cooking, tastes like meat, and eats unique satisfaction. Everyone will definitely be baked mushrooms, but coupled with my secret seasoning, it will be different immediately.

After the mushrooms are fried, the leaves of garlic and Baili are added in turn. After stir -fry for a while, after smelling the garlic, pour it into Italian black vinegar, stir fry evenly out of the pan. After setting, sprinkle the appropriate amount of salt, grind black pepper, pine nuts, and then embellish it with a hundred miles. Finally, give you a little vegetarian suggestion. If you are a novice, you have to understand a word: sustainability, set a goal that can be implemented.

The first thing you have to do is to increase the lack of your diet structure. For example, grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, foods like seaweed, nuts, seeds, and mushrooms, which foods you usually eat less, you can add these to your diet structure first.

If you drink latte every day, try to replace the milk with oat milk first; you don't need to quit all the meat from the beginning or eat salad every day, you must learn to step by step.

In terms of seasoning, I will pay more attention to natural categories. For example, I will use Kunbu powder instead of MSG or chicken essence to save artificial additives, which is more natural and healthy.

Being vegetarian has slowly transformed from a way of diet to my lifestyle. While getting healthy, it taught me to look at the world from another angle.
