Im not actually a kid, im just really picky. I've tried only one kind of vegetarian meat and I couldn't stand it. It tasted spongey and dry. Does anyone have any good recipes (healthy please)? They can contain soy and tofu, just hopefully it tastes ok.


Answer
Try noodles in a tahini soy sauce.

*cook some pasta and noodles(buckwheat or wholemeal).
*make a sauce with tahini, water and soy (to taste).
*stir the sauce for a few moments in a saucepan till it warms and thickens.
*place sauce in a bowl or on a plate and pour the sauce on top

Tastes fantastic like this, but you can add some veges if you like - broccoli and snow peas.

I also sprinkle afalfa on top when serving, and may also serve on a bed of lettuce.

My brother's mother in law is Chinese and she makes a similar dish which my brother devours (even though he is a meat eater). When I visited them she specially made this for me as she knew I was vegetarian, but she had to tell my brother to stop eating it and eat some meat or there would be no pasta left for me, it's so delicious.


You could have
*falafels, hummus, tabbouleh, & salad in a pita bread.
You can buy plenty of good falafel mixes that are all natural. They are usually dehydrated, you just add water and leave to stand for 15 minutes, then roll into balls or stir-fry or oven bake (less oil).

There's a hummus recipe at vegecentral in the chick peas section.

You can also just have falafels and hummus with any salad choices instead of in a sandwhich.

*crudites with hummus

*Just sandwiches with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, pesto and salad of choice.

* vegetarian sushi
*lentil burgers

* I love to have stirfries with tofu and basil and pumpkin and other veggies (some thai places have nice basil and tofu dishes - make sure they don't add fish sauce). You could also add cashews to it (or other nuts of choice)

* You may like simple pasta dishes - basil & tomato paste with veges and legumes of your choice.
Try lentils, spinach and tomato with pasta
or
kidney beans, tomato and basil sauce with pasta.
*Pesto Pasta

*vegetarian lasagna's nice
* spinach and cheese rolls or pies

I get a dried tofu mix that looks a little like mince when you add water to it. I make this up in a tomato & basil sauce, add a few veges and have it with pasta. It's very nice - Planet organic vegetarian mince

I also cheat and buy prepared food - such as Amy's organic chilli (spicy) and have it with brown rice or toast (it's great to heat up at work for lunch).

I hope something here is ok for you.

What are some good vegetarian meals that are around 350 calories?

I've recently become a vegetarian and I want to stay healthy. Get the appropriate amount of protein into my body.
