This week my mother told me that she wanted to try out vegetarian and vegan options for food. So this weekend we only ate vegan and vegetarian meals. My favourite meal that we made was the fried rice that we had last night, we used tofu instead of our usual chicken. It was my first time cooking tofu and I have had it in meals in the past and I never liked it. I looked up many vegan and vegetarian YouTube videos to to find out how to properly handle it. It was very good and I am definitely open to finding out ways I can include it more into my diet !!
