Vegetarian Chili Con Carne Vegetable Chili and Rice
I learned about the chili and rice from my roommate when I was studying in the United States, and I started making it quite often even after I came back to Japan. I became a vegetarian recently, so I made a vegetarian version of chili con carne.
I didn't think it would be possible to make it vegetarian, but I did it! Give it a try!
You don't have to use the same kinds or same amount of vegetables in this recipe. Just use as a reference. Using the lotus root is my original idea. I think celery would be nice as well. You can double the amount of the beans if you like. You can use a canned red kidney beans instead. Apparently, the lotus root is even more nutritious if you wash it well and cook unpeeled, without soaking it in water (it's supposed to be effective against hay fever). Recipe by suziehippy

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Soak the koya tofu in lukewarm water to rehydrate (about 3 minutes).
- 2
Mince the rehydrated tofu in a food processor. (If you don't have a food processor, mince with a knife).
- 3
Mince the ◇ vegetables in a food processor. If you use lotus root, add to the food processor at the end to roughly chop it. It's tasty when it has a crunchy texture.
- 4
Heat the olive oil in a pan and stir-fry the ◇ ingredients. When they are wilted, add the freeze-dried tofu from Step 2, and mix lightly.
- 5
Add the canned tomatoes, red kidney beans and ★ seasonings and mix. Simmer for about 15 minutes, and it's done.
- 6
Pour it over warm brown rice and serve. It's also delicious with some cheese to taste.
- 7
It's also good if you wrap it up with a tortilla. I made the tortillas using a recipe by user "Setsubun Hijiki".

I tend to substitute tofu in place of beef; this is a favorite family recipe for chili con carne that uses tofu with different types of beans.Since I prefer to go light on the seasoning, the flavoring is not as heavy as your average chili con carne, so adjust the seasoning to taste. 1 tablespoon chili powder makes it mild, but 2 tablespoons make it spicy. If you like it really spicy, try 3 tablespoons. For 4 to 5 servings. Recipe by Pu-kosan

There are a lot of great things about my city, but access to southwestern ingredients isn't one of them. Especially in our suburb, where it's easier to find a half-dozen different blends of Chinese 5-spice than it is to find 1 ancho chili. That's where this recipe comes in. If you don't already have everything you need to make it in your pantry, you can probably pick it up at your local supermarket. Perfect for when you feel like cooking up a tasty pot of chili.
