How do you cook vegemeat?
Since Vegemeat does not contain meat, you simply have to heat it up. You can also use it in recipes as a substitute for meat. Just use it as you would use real meat.
Where can you buy vegemeat in the Philippines?
I have bought and tried vegetarian meats in the following places:Country Vegefoods,Inc. - 161 Luna Mencias St., San Juan. Tel. 7244379, 7170105. Bought the vegetarian meat and the ones in the can. Did not like it, it stayed in the pantry and the freezer until it expired.Varona - 2008 Leveriza St., Pasay City. Tel. 5250389, 5367426. If you can cook well, you can make their vegetarian meat acceptable. Otherwise for the cuisine-challenged like me, it would just taste like tough fat.Bodhi Vegetarian Restaurant - Madison Square-Wilson Ortigas Ave. cor. Madison St., Greenhills, San Juan Tel. 7232859. They have delicious vegetarian siopao and meats, albeit a bit expensive.Daily Veggie Cafe - 540 Banawe cor. Calamba St. Quezon City. Tel. 711-8209, 711-3214. Cook their meats Chinese style.Palomi - My favorite one. This is where I always get my vegetarian supplies. I like the "beef" steak and the "chicken" nuggets the most but everything else is delicious. They also carry vegetarian noodles, oyster sauce and other vegetarian ingredients if you are that strict. Prices are usually between P100-P200. They automatically give you a discount if you become a regular there. I don't know the exact address but it is on Quirino Avenue corner Mabini Street, right across a Petron gas station. It's a small nondescript grocery store. It's very easy to miss with the lack of signage and all, but very much worth finding.For vegetarian recipes, I recommend getting the book Gulay: A Filipino Vegetarian Recipebook Series by Nona Lema.
