Hi all of you, how you doing today? Today I am gonna share one of our favorite menus for dinner. As you know I am not vegetarian but I can't eat meat. Also, I can't eat seafood such as crab, too many prawns, etc... Wow, there are too many requirements for my food. I am sorry if you like to see meat recipes from my Kitchen, there is just sometimes I cook meat. Vegetables are the main ingredient in my kitchen. So, let's take a look what our menu for dinner! 😊

Ingredient:
