Vegan rangoon, where have you been the last five years of my life?! When I went vegan almost five years ago, I didn’t make many “rules” with myself. I gave myself a lot of grace because I wanted to be successful doing something that meant a lot to me. One rule that I did make? That I would not give up my favorite dishes simply because they had meat. I would treat it as a quest, to create all of my favorite meals… vegan.
I am a big believer that you have to start living your dream life… before you have your dream life. Things don’t just simply fall into your lap. You aren’t going to wake up one day and magically have “it all.” Small acts really do start to shape you life, if you let them. So maybe it won’t happen overnight like the movies make you believe, rather a slow burn and consistent effort is the thing that leads you to magic. I don’t know if that makes sense, I just worked a 13 hour shift in the ER and I’m writing about vegan rangoons- tis life.
What is Hearts of Palm?
Hearts of Palm is typical purchased in can resting in brine. It is a vegetable harvested from the inner core of a juvenile palm tree. They are soft, slightly sweet, and do a great job of taking on the flavors of their seasoning. You can enjoy them raw or cooked. Hearts of palm are also great for you- rich in amino acids and a great source of protein. They are low in fats, sugars, and overall calories. A great addition to any seafood inspired dish as they take on that light quality and texture of seafood.
