STEEMIT CULINARY CHALLENGE #31 - mixed vegetarian platter

Hi steemit friends,

It time for the challenge again! This week s topic is Vegan main thanks to the guest judge @amy-goodrich. I do cook vegetables everyday and prepare at least 2 kinds of fresh fruits for my family, but normally I like to mixin some seafoods or meat.. so...it s a big challenge for me!

I love Korean mixed rice and Chinese lunch platter...today, I tried to make my very own mixed vegetarian platter.

It is a combination of fresh steamed vegetables which allow its flavors to stay true.

Here is the finish look

Ingredients needed for 3 people

2 cups midgrain rice
2 pieces eggplants
Some fresh brocolli
Fresh carrot, pumpkin, tofu and spring onions
Dried mushrooms (soak inside warm water)
Fresh galic, ginger
10ml soysauce
10ml rice vinegar
1tsp sugar
Some galic salt
3 table spoon sweet soy sauce for rice mix
2 tbsp garlic chili

Method

Wash rice and all vegetables

Steam the rice and vegetables either with rice cooker (auto setting for rice) or steamer (vegetable 15 minutes)

My traditional steamer

My Panasonic rice cooker cooks rice automatically in perfection..and also it includes a steamer inside(so I can steam veges while cooking rice)

steamed veges

Cut tofu in smaller pieces

Pan fry both sides of tofu untill golden and add some galic salts in last

Cooking the sauce for eggplants

Use fork to slice the cooked eggplants

When you see bubble of the oil around garlic and ginger, turn off fire and mixin soysauce,sugar,vinegar and garlic chili(you can buy it from Asian supermarket or DIY as per post in my blog)

Cooked rice

Season steamed vegetables with a little olive oil and galic salts before put them on plate

Dress it with sweet soy sauce(designed for vegetarian)

How it looks? Have vegetable in all colors, purple egg plant from my garden and orange carrot....

I ate it all , and used wasabi soysauce for tofu dipping
