Thread: Vegan Thai Food

  1. #1

    Default Vegan Thai Food

    I love cooking and am also looking into going to culinary school. I went to a ietnamese /thai huge grocery store in Chicago on the weekend. I had done some research into a vegetarian "fish sauce" and that it was rare to find outside vietnam. I found it and was overjoyed. It had the same stinky note that is so typicla in thai food but not as salty as the one with anchovies. also I found it helped to sprinkle some of that fish sauce over towards the end to keep the stick factor. I am so overjoyed. One of my favoriute cookbooks is Hot Sour Sweet Salty - a culinary journey through south east asia. its a great book and has some wonderful recipes that can be modified.

    finely chop garlic, chilli, ginger, spring onion and coriander together.
    mix all ingredients together with hands, making a mix with a consistency tht will form into soft balls. season if you need to.

    MMM! Here's a Chili-Mint Tamarind Sauce/Chutney to go with them:

    Chili-Mint Tamarind Sauce/Chutney
    ½ cup vegetable broth or water (for chutney, omit and add 3 tablespoons brown rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar)
    3-5 dates
    2 tablespoons liquid tamarind concentrate or 4 tablespoons fresh tamarind
    2 teaspoons Nama Shoyu, Soy Sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
    1/2- 1 bunch Mint, washed
    1-2 cloves garlic
    1/4-3/4 thai chili or jalapeno (depending on HEAT desired)
    1 T frozen juice concentrate (optional, but good! I used a tropical strawberry-guava juice)
    lemon juice, as desired

    Put all in a food chopper and pulse! Add a bit of water or lemon juice when making the sauce or chutney as needed.

    (This is my recipe)

    Default The Vegan Thai Food Recipe collection - help needed

    Hi!

    In order to make it easier for vegan newbies (and others) to explore the great world of vegan gourmet food, we plan to start a few threads about recipes. There's a lot of vegan recipes to be found through the search engines, but we still think that it's good idea to collect links here.

    What kind of help am I asking for? It's simple... if you spend one minute using your favorite search engine, and (in this case) search for vegan Thai food, you'll get a lot of results. If you find a link (in this case, about vegan Thai food) that looks OK, please just post the URL in this thread, for example like this:

    Introduction to Thai cooking
    http://www.colba.net/~ajstrong/Thai_mai.htm#Recipes


    As the thread grows, we'll put it into the Recipe forum (but for now we'll have it here, for visibility). If you have tried some of the recipes, comments are of course welcome too.
    I will not eat anything that walks, swims, flies, runs, skips, hops or crawls.

    Type in "Thai" and try the Thai Peanut and Veggie Lettuce Rolls. They are GOOD. I make a similar dish, but I make it them by using my sauce instead of the one she uses:

    1/3 c. almond butter
    1 T. Pumpkin Seeds
    1/4 cup lime juice
    3 T. water
    2 T. raw sesame oil
    1-2 soaked, pitted dates
    1 1/2 t. garlic, minced
    1/4 t. cayenne pepper
    1/2 jalapeno

    Blend all!

    or just fish sauce (not necessarily shrimp)
    i have a friend who is highly allergic to shell fish and she got really sick eating vegetarian thai food in New Hampshire...cause it had fish sauce...
    if she eats a fish who ate a fish who ate a fish ect...that ate a shell fish at one time she will get sick and could die.
    I just ask...no places I have gone to use it and if they did...they left it out for me. Just be super nice and super clear.

    Many Thai places use fish sauce in their recipes, but it's fully possible to make really tasty Thai food with only plant ingredients...

    There are tom yum pastes (mild to hot) that make a brilliant sauce for Thai and aisan style dishes. The don't have to have shrimp paste and some are even labelled vegetarian which is saying no shrimp. (Of course, always double check).

    Mix a healthy teaspoon of the paste with equal parts of potato starch plus one cup of water. I sometimes add a little vegie stock powder and fresh grated ginger. This makes a great sauce over most lightly stirfried vegies with either a rice noodle or steamed rice. For a really Thai flavour use a kaffir lime leaf very finely chopped in with the vegies and garnish with chopped coriander (cilantro). Quick, easy, fresh, very little washing up

    I sometimes eat from a local Thai Restaurant and the vegan dishes I have are: Buddhist Vegetables, Chilli Fried Rice, sometimes the deep fried tofu and sometimes the vegetarian spring rolls.

    Perhaps you can ask them to make you your favourite dishes without the shrimp paste (you could always say you are allergic to it).

    I tried a Malaysian restaurant recently that uses shrimp paste in many of their "vegetarian" dishes, but it also states on the menu that these items can be made without the shrimp paste.

    One thing that I really like about these types of food, compared to Chinese food is that you very very rarely have to worry about MSG in the food. Infact - I haven't come accross it yet in Thai or Malaysian food. I think their foods are flavoursome and fragrant enough without having to add it.

    This past week, I tried a new Chinese takeout place, recommended by a couple of work mates. I had the tofu in blackbean sauce, steamed rice and a curried vegetable dish. I'm sorry to say that I completely forgot to ask if they used MSG - which is unusual for me when trying a new Chinese place. This is because I get awfully sick from it.

    Anyway, approximately 6 hours later, it was confirmed to me that there was MSG in the food (insomnia, foul taste in my mouth, unquenchable thirst, stomach pain and vommiting).

    I always stress when I order thai (which is rare) that no fish sauce, no egg, since fish sauce is standard even in vegetarian entrees and egg is sometimes chopped and added to dishes. Same with Indian, I always stress no ghee (butter), no dairy in anything. I rarely eat out and if I do, eat at veg places as much as possible.

    Here is a very simple recipe for Thai rice noodles with soy sauce. I used to live in Thailand, and even though I was omni at the time, there were so many simple and delicious veggie dishes that I loved.

    Rice Noodles with Soy Sauce (called "pat see yoo" in Thai)
    1. Boil some dry large size rice stick noodles according to package directions, OR buy some already cooked large size rice stick.
    2. Heat some vegetable or olive oil in a skillet on medium heat, and add the rice noodles.
    3. Add some soy sauce and stir. Add enough sauce so that the noodles are light brown in colour, about 1-3 Tbsp (or to taste), depending on the amount of noodles.
    4. Add some chopped broccoli florets and cook for a couple minutes, stirring constantly.
    5. Stir in a handful of bean sprouts and cook about 2 minutes, stirring, until they are hot and slightly tender.
    6. Serve hot.

    I like it simple like this, but you can change the vegetables, add cubed firm tofu and/or cook up some egg replacer in a pan, chop it up and add it with the bean sprouts. Here is a picture of what it looks like, only I prefer to use the very wide noodles (these are the medium size), and I don't put that many veggies into mine. But it's versatile, you can put whatever you like into it!

    I love Thai food SO much, and luckily, since living in Thailand, I know enough of the language to make it clear in restaurants here that I don't eat meat, eggs, fish or fish/shrimp sauce.

    I love spicy thai peanut sauce and could see myself making that recipe with peanut sauce instead of the soy.

    Do you ever have a problem with your noodles sticking together when you go to stir-fry them after you have boiled them? I do

    I've never had much of a problem with sticky noodles after boiling. I add kosher salt to the water, which seems to help, and I probably use too much oil when frying. But when I buy fresh noodles, they stick together a LOT. Usually I don't mind this, since I'm a fan of thick noodles anyway.

    I used to make Pad-Thai at home a lot, in my pre-vegan days. I used to have an awful problem with the rice noodles sticking together after I had boiled them and was trying to stir fry them. Perhaps it was because I didn't drain them/rinse them properly.

    Default Thai Peanut Sauce?

    I have been searching the internet for a vegan thai peanut sauce recipe that would be very tasty on stirfries but every recipe I've found uses unusual ingredients, and since I'm a poor university student I can't afford to go out and buy all this stuff.

    Do you guys have any good recipes which make use of fairly common (cheap) ingredients? Thanks!

    yeah, you take a mouthful then you spit it out, then you take another mouthful and spit that out as well. whatever you do, when you take a mouthful, don't swallow it!

    (in the hands of anybody less tactful than me, this post could have had the potential to be rather distasteful. thank god i'm not like that.)

    Paradoxically, the birds (feathered variety, Tofu Monster! ) that are responsible for providing the spit that goes into Birds’ Nest Soup are a kind of swallow. How ironic is that? (And very distasteful!)

    gicuzzi, don't know if this is considered thai,but is is very tasty and easy

    Quick Peanut Sauce

    1/2 cup peanut butter (microwave for a couple of seconds to soften)
    1-2 cloves of garlic
    3 Tbsp. soy sauce
    fresh or ground ginger
    2 Tbsp. vinegar, rice vinegar or cider vinegar
    1 Tbsp. brown sugar (or white)
    1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
    1/2 cup (or less!) hot water to thin out

    Mix all ingredients together
    Use with tofu and veggies too in stirfrys or whatever.

    I also like to add a few drops of sesame oil, and chopped scallions, and chopped cilantro, if you have these.

    I once made this over and mixed with diced cucumbers over speghetti-cold.
    It was so good !!

    As with pasta, you can stop noodles from sticking whilst boiling by adding some oil to the water. If stir frying after it's good to cook them to al dente so they will finish cooking in the stir fry pan, as opposed to fully cooked and slightly mushy. Totally depends on the thickness and type of noodles/wrappers thou, I tend not to use wheat as opposed to rice out of choice.

    Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Throw in pasta. Dont over cook pasta. Drain but don't rinse. Toss immediately with the 1 cup of coconut milk to prevent sticking. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Serve either hot or cold.

    Sweet and Spicy Thai Stir Fry

    • 2 green bell peppers
    • 1 red bell pepper
    • 1 yellow bell pepper
    • 1 orange bell pepper
    • 2 small jalepeno peppers
    • snow peas
    • Spanish red onion or shallots
    • 1 pkg Lo-mein noodles (thin yellow spaghetti like chinese noodles)
    • 1 jar sweet red pepper Thai sauce
    • 1/2 cup sweet plum sauce
    • soy sauce
    • bean sprouts




    Slice the green peppers into 1/2" wide long strips. Dice all other peppers down to about 1/2" square. Slice ends from snow peas, otherwise leave them whole. Dice red onion or shallots smaller than the coloured peppers.

    Run the lo-mein noodles under cold water in a collander for about 5 minutes to loosen.

    In one stir-fry pan or wok add all peppers and snow peas (feel free to add any of your other favourite veggies to this wok as well). Add a bit of oil, about a tablespoon of soy sauce, and about 1/2 to 3/4 of the jar of Thai Sauce. Stir fry at med heat until the sauce has thickened slightly and the vegetables are well cooked.

    In a second stir fry pan or wok add bean sprouts and lo- mein. Add a bit of oil, soy sauce, and just enough plum sauce to glaze the noodles and sprouts. Stir fry for about 5 - 7 minutes on med heat, until noodles are hot and sprouts have wilted. Serve veggies over noodles
