Steps

  1. 1

    Leave the figs whole or cut them in half. Boil them with salt for 5-7 minutes once the water comes to a boil. Remove the figs, rinse with cold water, and drain well.

  2. 2

    Cut the lemongrass into sections and lightly crush them. Slice the red chili and fresh chili peppers.

  3. 3

    Add the figs, vegetarian fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemongrass, and chili peppers to a pot. Add just enough water to barely cover the figs.

    Simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Gently shake the pot instead of stirring to keep the figs from breaking apart.

  5. 5

    Turn off the heat and let cool. Then simmer for another 30 minutes, still only gently shaking the pot.

  6. 6

    Result: The figs will absorb the flavors, with a balanced salty, sweet, and spicy taste. They should be soft but still hold their shape.

Tôi đến với ẩm thực chay từ một nhân duyên trong gia đình, và dần dần, việc ăn chay và nấu món chay trở thành một phần tự nhiên trong đời sống như hơi thở, như thói quen chăm sóc thân tâm một cách dịu dàng.Qua nhiều năm nấu chay cho những người thân yêu, tôi nhận ra: nấu ăn chay không khó. Thật ra, chỉ cần rau củ tự nhiên, một chút khéo léo và sự lắng lòng khi đứng bếp, bạn đã có thể tạo nên những bữa ăn đầy đủ dinh dưỡng, ngon miệng và thanh tịnh.Tôi viết blog này không phải để dạy bạn phải nấu “đúng công thức”. Mỗi món ăn tôi chia sẻ chỉ là một gợi ý để bạn có thể tự do sáng tạo theo nguyên liệu, khẩu vị, hay cảm hứng riêng của mình. Nấu ăn, với tôi, là một hành trình linh hoạt và sống động không áp đặt, không khuôn mẫu.Chúc bạn tìm thấy niềm vui nơi căn bếp nhỏ, và nuôi dưỡng được sự an lành trong từng bữa ăn chay giản dị. “Bếp là nơi nuôi dưỡng Sự tĩnh lặng dịu dàng Tới lui luôn cẩn trọng Nấu với tâm bình an”https://tramtue.vn/blogs/goc-chay-tuehttps://www.facebook.com/TramhuongTue/
