Simple vegan cooking is a kind of lifestyle I had been through since my childhood. Our parents raised us up with organic foods from our own harvest. This is one of the advantages of living in a rural place. Our vegetables grew without any pesticides. Yes, we used seasonally a fertilizer. Even our fertilizers were made up of grass decomposition mixed with goat or pig waste. I remember, we burned it in a composed pit.
Checking the community made me happy. I loved all the themes with the question and easy for me to jot down some real stories about myself.
Since today is about cooking budget vegan meals, I would like to share how I cook the pumpkin with leafy vegetables and coconut milk.
Let's start it
This is the finished and ready to eat vegan budget meal.
These are the 3 leafy vegetables.
With all the ingredients:
Onions
Ginger
Moringa
Spinach(kangkong and saluyot)
Coconut milk
Dried lemongrass
Salt to taste
Black pepper
Procedures
Boil the water
Add onions and ginger
Add lemongrass
Let it boil for 2 minutes only then add the sliced pumpkins.
Add quickly the spinach first for 5 seconds.
After 5 seconds add the moringa for another second.
While the moringa is on the top, don't stir it.
Add quickly the coconut milk from a coconut powder with water. 2 tablespoons of coconut powder with a little amount of water(sticky).
Add a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar. Why? If I could not finish it all, the leftover the taste will not change or what I meant to say, I used it for preservation.
I used apple cider two times a week maintaining good health. It helped me when I had knee pain back in 2015. So now I regularly using it with good timing and supervision.
I ate it all at once without rice but a green apple afterward.
Talking about budget
The leafy vegetables were my harvest. I bought the coconut powder for 2USD but I only used 2 tablespoons. The pumpkins worth 1.5 USD but I only used the third part of the whole pumpkin. The onions and gingers maybe a cents of USD is a big amount. Anyway, it's all free! plus the salt. LOL.
At this moment of outbalance, the world is crying with the people. It's a phenomenon that had been told us before. The pandemic made us wise. There are instances that it made people rich but most of the rest are suffering. It could be too late or never but we should be aware and take all the precautions and move forward. It's not too late to do what is better for our children, the next generation. Nobody knows what tomorrow could bring because according to footers "Tomorrow is not a promise.**
Let us move to a rural place if we abandon it. Let us go back where we belong. I think it could help us better than staying in urban places where coronavirus is crawling forward to ruin the lives of many people.
Thank you and tell me if you like my recipe today. I will be sharing another kind before August 31.
