Vegan curry roux blocks, potatoes, carrots, onions and rice. Usually there is something like chicken or beef added, but what vegan alternative would you recommend?

Thanks!

    Tofu? More veggies? Wealthy elite? (don’t count as meat because they aren’t people) What is your goal here?

      My goal is to transition to a diet without meat. I have no idea what I’m doing haha. Someone else recommended fried tofu so I will go to the local Asian grocery store tomorrow and see if they have anything decently priced.

        Honestly, I’m not a huge fan of tofu so I just pack in extra vegetables. It’s really up in the air at that point, mushrooms are great and whatever else looks good at the store.

        Fried tofu is great! I love those little puffs you can get at Asian grocery stores.

        Another one is those brown, chewy tofu squares. They sell 'em in little blocks and you can peel the squares off of it. Those are great for when you need a quick meal. Grab some rice and tofu squares and you’re good to go.

        Also try seitan. It’s more expensive than tofu, but it has a nice, meaty texture. It’s almost 100% wheat gluten, though, so don’t try it if you’re allergic to gluten.
