Eat sauerkraut or kimchi straight out of the carton and piled on top of hot, fragrant brown rice so you don’t destroy the probiotics of the fermented foods by cooking them.
SAUERKRAUT SALAD
From: Rodale’s Naturally Great Foods Cookbook by Nancy Albright
1 1-lb. can sauerkraut, chilled (fresh, non-pasteurized sauerkraut is best)
1 cup grated carrots 1 medium-sized onion, chopped
2 medium-sized apples, chopped 6 large ripe olives, pitted and sliced
2 Tbsp vinegar 1 Tbsp horseradish
3 Tbsp oil crisp lettuce greens
Toss ingredients together with two forks until well mixed. Chill. Serve on crisp greens.
STIR-FRIED NAPA CABBAGE AND SAUERKRAUT
From: Hans Röckenwagner of Röckenwagner Restaurant, Los Angeles, CA
2 Tbsp sesame seeds 1 Tbsp peanut oil
2 tsp blended sesame oil medium red bell pepper,
1 cup very tightly packed and well drained sauerkraut seeded and sliced, divided
4 cups tightly packed chopped or shredded napa cabbage
Heat a large skillet or wok. Add sesame seeds, tossing until they begin to pop and turn golden brown. Remove at once and set aside. Heat peanut oil and sesame oil in the skillet or wok; add half of the red pepper slices and the sauerkraut. Stir-fry on medium heat until sauerkraut begins to brown. Add cabbage and stir until it begins to wilt. Add sesame seeds and stir-fry gently. Turn off heat. Garnish with remaining red pepper slices and serve.

For good reasons, Thai cuisine is one of the most popular in the world. Although popularly described as a single cuisine, Thai food is actually best characterized as a combination of four regional cuisines coming from Northern, Northeastern, Central and Southern Thailand.
A glance at the menues of Thai restaurants in western countries suggests that there is almost no place for vegetarian food in Thai cuisine. However, this is not the truth. Most Thai dishes consist of rice with vegetables, meat and sauce on top. Meat and fish or sea food are viewed as just one portion of a meal and not as the primary ingredient of the meal. Much of the flavour of Thai food comes from the sauces and vegetables, so you can frequently substitute bean curd or other ingredients that you do eat for the specified meat.
Below, you will find a vegetarian meal from Central Thailand.
Vegetarian Thai Stew Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes
2 carrots
2 onions
3 cakes of tofu (bean curd)
250 grams of ricestraw mushrooms
15-20 small cherry tomatoes
150 grams of green beans
1 tbsp of light soy sauce
1 tbsp of dark soy sauce
3 cups of vegetable stock
2 tbsp of arrowroot starch salt and pepper vegetable oil
Wash and cut the tomatoes into pieces and then fry them in the oil. Cut the carrots into 1-inch pieces and the onions into quarters. Wash the mushrooms and cut them into halves. Cut the tofu into flat pieces, about 1/2-inch thick. Marinate the tofu in dark soy sauce for about 20 minutes. Fry the marinated tofu until it’s brown and firm. Add the vegetables, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Mix the starch with water and add it to the stew. Boil the stew for a few seconds and serve it in a warm bowl.
Tony Ailton has volunteered in many Thai restaurants ranging from simple food stalls to luxury restaurants all over Thailand. He has collected more than 500 recipes, mostly vegetarian dishes. He is going to publish his recipes on his website for vegetarian Thai food.
