help with recipe substitutions?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I'm going to attempt to make my DH's favorite dish from his native culture tomorrow, but veganized. The original recipe calls for 1/2 lb each of calamari, shrimp, and white fish. DH doesn't like tofu, tempeh, or any processed meat analog. They don't have to be exactly right in texture and most of the flavor will come from the other spices and ingredients. Right now I'm thinking oyster mushrooms, cannellini beans, and maybe yuba (sh, we won't tell him it's tofu-adjacent), along with a little kelp powder or amari for the fishy taste? I'm hopeless in the kitchen, so totally open to suggestions!

(Here's the recipe, if you need it to visualize)

Thanks!

i would sub in peeled, steamed eggplant for the white fish. i cooked a fish dish (in a tomato based sauce) the other day with half fish and half eggplant and honestly couldn't tell much of a difference.

Can you go to an Asian store/restaurant to buy mock meats... like "shrimp" made from white yams?

well bastila I believe can be made with many different ingredietns. IT's basically just the way it's made, in the pan with the pastry wrapped around and morroccan flavors. I would just use beans and veggies
