  • This true vegetarian dish - Quick Braised Vegetables with Red Fermented Tofu is also called Buddha's Delight (罗汉斋), and is made with reddish-brown fermented bean curd or tofu (南乳). You can add any vegetables that you like, but the most common are cabbage, fried bean curd skin, black fungus, and mushrooms are used. You can also add glass noodles and black moss to bulk up the dish.
    When it comes to eating during the Lunar New Year period, Chinese commonly believe that more and more luxurious food is better. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, however, many households choose a vegetarian diet in honour of Buddha. Devout Buddhists go vegetarian on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month to honour Buddha and accumulate good karma. Some people believe that doing so on the first day of the first lunar month will bring them even more good karma. Though it’s less common these days, on the night before the first day of Chinese New Year, families traditionally make a vegetarian dish called 守岁斋 (literally means guard year vegetarian dish) on the night before the first day of CNY. Chinese traditionally stay up late on the eve of the Lunar New Year as a practise known as 守岁 (guarding the year) to help prolong their parents' lives. We hope you'll enjoy this dish as much as we did. Happy cooking!

    If it's not a vegetarian dish, I could add in garlic. How about the fermented tofu. Is there a substitute?

    Did you rehydrate the tofu skins? I have a package that is dry. So do I just soak in cold water for a while and add direct to the wok?

    Hi Roland can I use the white fermented tofu?

    • @tbdlater5690
      @tbdlater5690 Рік тому

      flavorwise, I think you can. But you'll lose the red color, which is considered lucky and red is significant part of CNY.

    What is the difference between fried beancurd skin and “fu zu? Are both same ?

    • @tbdlater5690
      @tbdlater5690 Рік тому +1

      Bean curd skin is formed from boiling soy milk in a shallow pan, the proteins coagulate on the surface. It's usually dried but fresh is also available. So it has more chew and texture, fu zu is fermented tofu chunks.

    Why is garlic not used because of vegetarian dish?
    In my world garlic is strictly vegetarian.

    • @Vulnavia
      @Vulnavia Рік тому +7

      From online resources... "Some Buddhists (both monks, Lamas, and regular practitioners) avoid any member of the onion (Allium) family because they believe that they hinder meditation. This means no garlic, onions, leeks, shallots, etc."

    • @tbdlater5690
      @tbdlater5690 Рік тому +2

      As Vulnavia says, but additionally, many Chinese Budhists are more strict about vegetarianism for New Years. Eileen Yin Fei Lo writes about her Grandmothers observances in My Grandmothers Chinese Kitchen. Although some Cantonese Budhists found a way for Oysters to be vegetarian...

    • @TheDevaser
      @TheDevaser Рік тому

      Coz garlic & onion are considered as aphrodisiacs.

    Garlic is not considered vegetarian??

    • @nsystem1432
      @nsystem1432 Рік тому

      Apparently it comes from an old Buddhist belief because these vegetables can cause irritation and intestinal gas, which lessen one's ability to concentrate or meditate.
