Say goodbye to your love affair with meat with these delicious meatless dishes
We get it - the struggle is real when you're trying to maintain or switch to a vegetarian diet. Luckily for you, we've got a line up of wholesome meat free dishes to whet your appetite. Inspired by classic Asian flavors, these recipes aim to promote a sustainable diet that's both healthy and delicious! But first...
How to Prepare Meat Free Protein
Cooking instructions may vary depending on the type of meat alternatives being used. Here, we’re working with Quorn’s Meat Free Fillets, Meat Free Pieces, and the Meat Free Mince. Preparing these meat free proteins is incredibly easy with just a hot oiled pan, and an oil of your choice. Most Asian kitchens would have a regular vegetable oil and aromatic sesame oil, which scents your “meat” with a rich, nutty, finish. Though we recommend sesame oil for the minced pieces for a tastier chew, either one is fine. Straight from the freezer and into the pan - it's so simple! Don’t forget to toss and turn your meat free protein, so all sides are deliciously sizzled to a light brown.
1. Meat Free Butter Chicken
Swap chicken pieces with Quorn’s meatless “chicken” in this creamy meat free Indian classic. The key to this Meat Free Butter Chicken is in the yogurt-tomato bath that’s infused with ginger, garlic, deeply scented cumin, and warming garam masala. But first, fry up the meat free protein till it sizzles to a golden brown (or slightly brown if you want just a touch of crisp), then coat all over with the ghee-fragrant gravy.
2. Meat Free Bibimbap
This Meat Free Bibimbap features a super healthy Korean rice salad which is tossed with a meat free ingredient of Quorn mince. The rest is the same snappy delicious mix of sliced carrots, cucumber, juicy beansprouts and vinegary chewy rice that soaks up all the sweet-spicy Gochujang sauce.
3. Meat Free Katsu Curry
Be sure to make a bed of warm Japanese rice for this fragrant, thick Japanese Meat Free Katsu Curry. You’ll need to first pat Quorn’s fillet pieces with breadcrumbs, bind them with eggs and into hot oil they go for the classic golden katsu crunch. Add sweetness to the curry with an apple and onion, and don’t forget the typical potato and carrots that make this Japan’s favourite stewy curry dish.
4. Meat Free Lor Bak
Lor Bak is a Chinese comfort food that warms both the belly and soul. This vegetarian version is packed with tasty quail eggs and nutritious tofu that soaks up the flavorful soy sauce. Even without meat, you can make this dish just as satisfying with Quorn’s meatless protein which you can easily prepare before cooking it in the sauce with the rest of the ingredients. A healthy meal perfect for any occasion.
