num tok for sustainable life

northern-east thai food or arhan isan has half-raw foods for sustainable life.

num tok or grilled meat salad isan style is one of them. we, vegans use tofu instead of grilled pork, beef etc. i recommend to be a frozen tofu and boil or fry it. you just boil or fry tofu only a few minutes and mix with thai herb.

ingredients:

Tofu (recommend to freeze for one night)

sawtooth coriander

red onion

chili powder

roasted rice

salt

soy sause

brown sugar

lime juice

serious flood in thailand

i prepared some foods for flood in thailand.

1. rice with seaweed

2. cheese like chinese tofu

3. pickled cabbage

4. pickled carrot

heavy rain in this evening.

home gardening and raw foods to reduce the energy consumption

now is time to think about environment.

more than 320 people were killed by the flood in thailand. one of the causes of this year's flood crisis is forest clearing.we should reconsider our behavior.

i'm vegan but i think vegan is not enough for sustainable life. so i decided to have more raw foods rather than before.

this is chili from my balcony garden. i made vegetarian nam phrik kapi from my chili.(but other ingredients are from the local market at phutthabucha temple)

i had fresh vegetable with nam phrik kapi(center). i bought vegetarian kapi

from vegetarian shop near wongwien yai. you can find it at JJ vegetarian society, too.

vegetarian festa in thai

vegetarian festival 2011 started yesterday in thailand. for vegan people like me, it is very convenient to find foods because we can buy foods everywhere...

i think it is very good custom for both health and environment. it was reported that animal production requires more energy and water than wheat and vegetable.

if we become vegetarian (or even reduce meat consumption), we can solve food shortage in developing countries (especially in african countries).

japan has great custom and culture.

macrobiotic is one of the most good food culture which is benefit for health and environment.

rastafarians' ital food is very cloth to japanese macrobiotic, having rice, beans, vegetable, fruits and some small fish.

vege festa, that would be a very good opportunity for many people to think about environmental issue...

fried rice - reduce oil consumption

many people like fried rice, but they are anxious about it's high calories.

i also love fried rice but anxious about too much oil consumption and water pollution.

so when i wanna have a fried rice, i don't fry rice???

1. first, i prepare vegetables, tofu etc.

2. boil or steam 1 with salt or soy sauce. (or fry with a little oil)

3. mix 2 and a little sesame oil with rice. (not fry)

you can enjoy fried rice flavor....

balcony gardening

balcony gardening is good way for sustainable living.

it's also easy even for the people who loves in an apartment like me.

i am growing sweet basil, holy basil, coriander leaves etc...

peppermint, red chili, green onion are also easy to cultivate.

tofu fried with basil and larb(laos salad)

after i came back from disaster volunteer in japan.

most of my plants were died....

so i am planing to grow more vegetables in this rainy season.
