I found my inspiration!

I was surfing on the net to look for innovative vegetarian recipes and I stumbled upon this blog:


Please check out this site as it is full of wonderful ideas to create mouthwatering vegetarian meals... Crystal's recipes are easy and quick. So you don't have to be a gourmet chef to know about your veggies...

Here is one such recipe from a her site:

Oh, I have too many fresh lily bulbs. Besides using to cook the broccoli, I still have lots of them left. Guess, pumpkin, lily bulb and wolfberries can be a nice combination. Corn flour or cornstarch can be used instead of tapioca starch.

Preparation: 10 mins, Cooking time: 8 mins


Ingredients (serves 2)
° 200g pumpkin (weight after peeling), cut into chunks
° 25g fresh lily bulb, petals separated
° ½ teaspoon wolfberries, soaked
° 1 slice ginger, finely chopped
° 1 tablespoon olive oil
° ½ teaspoon sugar (optional)
° 1 teaspoon tapioca starch, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
° 125ml water
° fresh coriander leaves, for garnish

Method
1. Heat oil in a wok. Add the ginger and fry till fragrant.
2. Add the pumpkin and stir-fry for 3 minutes or until the pumpkin is soften.
3. Throw in the lily bulb, wolfberries, water and bring to a boil. Stir in the sugar and tapioca starch mixture to thicken the sauce.
4. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve immediately.

Don't eat veges....if you swear!

An old wise man told me yesterday:
If you eat pure but your speech is vile, it doesn't justify the precepts of pure eating...
Sounds like Ji Gond dispensing a good advice through this old guy. . . 

So if you practice vegetarianism but your actions, intentions are not pure. . . then you're no better. . . still the same. . .
