Tôm Chay (Vegetarian Prawns)

Ingredients:
-100g potato
-50g potato starch
-75g gluten flour
-water or vegetable broth
-orange food coloring
-salt, sugar to taste

What to Do:
Steam and mash potatoes. Mix together potato starch, mashed potatoes, and flour. Add water to form a smooth dough. Knead dough for at least 15 mins. Shape into prawns and brush with orange food coloring. Steam for 15 mins. Use prawns to cook various vegetarian dishes.

***Because my vegetarian dishes are prepared with “Buddhist Laws” in mind; besides not using meats and animal products, I do not use garlic, onions, leeks, chives, or any type of alcohol. However, if your main goal in being vegan cooking is to just avoid meats, feel free to add the any of the mentioned above to spice up you dishes.***
