Step 1: Return salmon to the grocery store Step 2. While at grocery store, buy a carrot You're welcome

I can't physically become vegetarian or vegan myself. For some reason, my body does not do well doing that. I tried, and my body had way to low iron and proteins. While I will eat vegan and vegetarian items if they taste good, my body cannot digest plant based items well enough to give me the proteins and iron the way meat can.

it’s weird how so many people use seaweed (the nori) to give a fishy flavor to things? i’m korean so it’s a staple in my diet and i’ve found that it doesn’t really give off a fishy flavor

[@Andyatl2002]

OwO, I’m guessing cause seaweed might taste like the ocean...

[@NatWarrior1]

I thought the same thing lmao, but it definitely at least tastes like the ocean, if that makes sense...

[@piggyme4040]

I think korean seaweed is not fishy compared to the japanese one. That's why I like the korean one better. Lol. Even in Japan korean seaweed are called Kankoku Nori (Korean Seaweed). Because it's so different with their own nori

[@irenejanith2371]

Sweetie, you could have made that vegan pulled pork with jackfruit... but you decided to use... banana peel 😐

[@STALKER777LK]

Its an alternative. And is better because its closer (in texture) and you don't throw the banana peel away.

[@merlinaaddams89]

It is easier to find (and cheaper) banana peel "all over the world", I think. for example here in Argentina we do not have Jack fruit. Sorry for my bad English, I hope you can understand me.

Apparently, shredding mushroom works pretty well too.

Not only jackfruit works as a pulled pork alternative, plus it's way cheaper than an average $20 jackfruit.

[@7lawaneeena]

I LOVE THAT PUN.

[@saras480]

@Gary YorkI don't really care. I never said that I don't eat fish... is just a good alternative if you want to try something different. Whathever 👍

[@7lawaneeena]

​@Gary York Let's say you want to drink soda, but you know it's unhealthy, so you cut back on the soda, but you're craving it, so that's why you would buy an alternative, healthy soda something that is somewhat healthy and taste like soda

[@7lawaneeena]

@Gary York No No. I think this salmon alternative is for people who can't eat salmon or are vegan. for reasons like high chlistrol (i think) or either crulity reasons or enviromantal reasons. I think meat is healthy and inmportant to inculed in a diet (or get your protiens from somewhere else)

[@MinttMeringue]

@Gary York you're on a carnivore diet? That's VERY unhealthy, most professionals would not let their patient on one. I wouldn't trust any of your advice lol

these are super popular in finland, even amongst nonvegans! it’s super simple to do actually, I just peel them, boil them in salted water, slice them like you did and then use a marinade that’s really simple (oil, white wine vinegar, salt & liquid smoke) and keep them in the fridge for 24-48 hours and it’s so good!

[@DA-js7xz]

Yum!

[@attackattack56]

ok butttttttttttt the salad idea sounds so BOMB. imagine this on poke or in a rice bowl omg

[@marley7659]

I wonder if it would be easier to make this if the carrots that were roasted were jumbo carrots. That way the peel could be larger and less likely to fall apart. It would require a different roasting time though....

[@DA-js7xz]

Boiling would be more effective.

[@jaime7658]

You should try this recipe! I promise its sooo good. I'm from finland and we have this thing called Porkkala. Porkkana (carrot) + Kala (Fish) = Porkkala. ● 4 Big carrots ● 1kg rough seasalt ● 1 tablespoon oil ● 2 teaspoons liquid smoke ● 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar Wash carrots but do not peel them. Spread layer of salt to the tray so the bottom doesn't show. Then cover the carrots all the way so carrots are completely covered (i mean use the whole kilogram of salt.) Then put them in oven to 175 celcius about 1,5 hours or until soft. Break the hardened salt and brush of any big chunks left. Then peel carrots and chop to thin slices. Mix oil, liquid smoke and vinegar, mix the carrots in and let marinade 1-2 days. (Recipe from finnish vegan food blog chocochili) This is literally the best vegan fishy kind of thing i have eaten and it is one of my favourite things to put on karelian pie or dark rye bread. It also goes very well with sushi!
