    You can caramelize onion in garlic using water or veggie broth, just saute
    a bit longer and cover with a lid. Then you can skip the oil.

    I love salads like this! I make something very similar with couscous. Did
    you go to culinary school? You seem to know a lot about flavor profiles and
    presentation, plus you have serious knives.

    Excuse my ignorance but I’m wondering why lots of vegans don’t use salt?
    I’m vegan myself (became few months ago ,but been vegeterian for a year or
    so) and I use a little of salt still (not much) – because lack of salt can
    cause electrolyte disturbance, which can again, cause even fatal,
    neurological problems. Since I drink plenty of water during the day (up to
    2 or 3 L), not taking salt can result with water intoxication.
    > ” Drinking too much water with insufficient salt intake, puts a person
    at risk of water intoxication.”

    I’m still new here so again excuse my ignorance.

    by the way
    This looks delicious! I will prepare this for lunch today ,thank you.

    Greetings from your neighbour from Croatia :)

    Great chopping tutorial! I am so afraid of the kitchen! I feel like I could
    work an 8 hour day and still prepare these recipes. Which is so important
    as a single parent

  12. reda rotta

    haw stupid can one human being be by using the olive oil like that …
    realy this dont have any sense sense thouse invisible drops of olive oil
    for shure dont make any diference to the dish ….i think sometimes that
    vegan people have problems realy

    I kind of have the feeling that you could use the non-starchy elements of
    this recipe to make a different version of fried rice. :D
