My mother is a Buddhist and has always been a vegetarian! She told me that when you are a guest at someone else’s home, they cannot make you a 100% vegetarian. If you put too much emphasis on vegetarianism, it will cause trouble to others, and secondly, it will be too prestige-based. If there is meat, there is no problem in eating meat side dishes. As for eating noodles, I think it should be fine, as long as you don’t eat meat!

I am also a believer in Buddhism. Why do you say it counts? First, I don’t give up eating meat or vegetables. Secondly, I occasionally offer incense to the Bodhisattvas at home. However, I was able to memorize the Diamond Sutra and the Guanyin Heart Sutra, and relying on the understanding of the first level of the Diamond Sutra, I was able to trade stocks smoothly. In fact, the scriptures didn't teach me anything else. It's just that the Buddha went out to beg for alms in person. As an ordinary person, he should have a normal mind. Personally, I think the most important thing about Buddhism is not the form, but the principles of life and doing things that can be understood from the scriptures. Therefore, there is no need to abstain from meat, as long as the nutrition is balanced and the body and mind are healthy

There is a story about Empress Dowager Cixi who had to fast for half a month for some reason. No meat was allowed to be seen, and the imperial chefs entered the imperial dining room. Everyone will be searched. If you bring in any meat or meat, it will destroy the great Holy Mother Queen Mother's devotion to spiritual practice, and she will be beheaded directly. After a few days of strict fasting, Lafayette couldn't stand it any longer, and "a bird suddenly appeared in his mouth." He said that the food cooked by the royal chefs was tasteless and tasteless, and he wanted to starve Lafayette, so he killed another batch. I don’t know who recommended the protagonist’s family to enter the palace to serve Lafayette during this long fast. If they do well, they will be rewarded, but if they do not, they will be beheaded!

Lafayette: Look at me, I’m so hungry!

In fact, the protagonist’s enemy wanted to use Lafayette’s knife to kill people, but the protagonist was so generous that he said that he could make chicken noodle soup for Lafayette without using chicken! The eunuch in the imperial dining room searched him, and found that the man brought nothing but two clean aprons. In the end, he made chicken soup-flavored noodles. Lafayette was so happy that he asked this guy to serve Chang Zhai. Change the way it is made, beef flavor, pork flavor, mutton flavor, fish flavor, it is obviously vegetarian noodles, but it changes into various meaty and fishy flavors. Lafayette is a big reward!

Vegetarian fish tastes just like real fish, but has no spines!

Everyone thought that this guy really had the magical ability to imitate others, so they all asked him for advice on how to make meat-flavored dishes from vegetarian dishes. They all said that tofu can make fish-flavored dishes, but nothing like it. Later, this guy couldn't hold his arms anymore and dropped his bottom. It turned out that it was on those two aprons. He first boiled a pot of broth at home, making it thick, and then soaked his apron in it to collect the juice. When he was done, he took it out, ironed it, and brought it to the imperial kitchen. When he was cooking vegetables and noodles, he secretly threw the apron in with him. Cook it, whatever flavor you want! It’s unbelievable that such a devout old Buddha could still recite sutras after eating meat soup noodles for half a year.

The Buddha was beaten away while begging for alms

The Buddha’s requirements for monks’ food and accommodation were to “beg for alms, eat once a day, and sleep under a tree.” Buddhist monks The purpose of begging for alms is to prevent monks from engaging in agricultural production, because farming and building construction inevitably violates the precepts by killing people. Regarding what to eat, the Buddha emphasized "no distinction" and "taking food in order". When a monk is asking for alms, he can eat whatever the donor gives him. He is not allowed to pick and choose. If the donor does not give, he will go to the next family and beg in turn. The seventh family didn't give it to them, so they were hungry today, and there was no distinction between meat and vegetables. In the Buddha's era, monks were allowed to eat meat. The so-called three pure meats are "no killing seen, no killing heard, and no killing for me." To put it bluntly, it is finished meat. If you don't eat it, others will eat it. If someone comes specifically to support you. As for killing animals as tribute, or if you watch the killing process and wait to eat the meat, you cannot eat it, because this kind of killing has something to do with you and is your sinful karma.

Buddhist Five Meats: Remember, leek and egg dumplings are not vegetarian!

In the time of Buddha, meat did not refer to meat, and there were no later concepts such as vegetarianism and vegetarianism. The Buddha said that there are five kinds of things that are highly irritating, can stimulate people's lust, and are not conducive to people's spiritual practice. Practitioners are not allowed to eat them. They are the five meats: garlic, green onions, green onions, orchid green onions, and Xingqu. These five things are actually plants, and none of them are meat. my country's Taoism and traditional Chinese medicine also have the terms "five pungents" and "five meats". Although they refer to different things, they are consistent in their irritating properties. It should be pointed out in particular that peppers, a highly irritating substance, were probably introduced to Asia and China in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Neither the Buddha of India nor the founders of China had ever seen this thing, so they did not use it. Included in the "Five Meats".

This thing is no less stimulating than strong alcohol, so practitioners are advised to eat less of it.

So we can understand that the reason why the Buddha did not allow eating freshly killed meat and "five kinds of meat" is from two aspects: one is to avoid killing and killing lives to cultivate compassion, and the other is to avoid involuntary violation of the precepts due to body stimulation. . As the saying goes, "All things are based on consciousness, and everything comes from the heart." Buddhist practice emphasizes the internal rather than the external, and the heart over conduct. The merits of Buddhism are not obtained by doing it, but only by thinking about it. Many people find it hard to accept what I say. Think of Emperor Wu of Liang. He built temples, copied sutras, and made offerings to countless monks and nuns. Patriarch Bodhidharma said he had "no merit." This is because although he practiced Buddhism, he still thought about fame and wealth. The common way is that one has no heart in practicing the way and "has no merit".

The same goes for our ordinary people’s daily practice. We should not practice the Tao with our mouths, but do not practice the Tao with our hearts, and do not engage in formalism. The purpose of fasting is to cultivate our compassion and at the same time keep a pure mind to practice better. If you eat fast like the following, you are practicing evil ways, and you will fall into the Avici Hell and never be reborn: Saying it is fasting, but feeling that fasting does not taste good in your heart, and eating "vegetable with meat" is committing evil ways; Saying it is eating fast, but making a distinction between it and others My heart is burning, I wish I could send a eunuch to supervise the kitchen, which is an evil way; I talk about eating vegetarian food, but I am greedy for luxury, preferring vegetarian vegetables to taste like meat, the tofu is more delicious than the big carp, I wish I could use a gold plate Holding it in your mouth is a bad way; you talk about fasting, but you are obsessed with it, counting the merits of fasting for half a year on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, and if others accidentally break your fast, you will get angry and want to drag them out and kill them. Those who practice evil ways; those who talk about fasting, show off all kinds of demands in front of others, and sneak big fish and meat secretly are practicing evil ways; not only do they talk about fasting, but they also persuade this person to fast and that person to fast every day, and they also take all kinds of karma. The story scares people and disgusting people, they are practicing evil; ······

A friend of mine has been a Buddhist for more than ten years. He used to not eat meat, but later he stopped eating meat after noon at a certain time. She eats, and now she doesn’t eat anything with a pungent flavor such as onion, ginger, garlic, but she comes every time we have dinner together. She just eats vegetarian food. When she doesn’t eat after lunch, she watches us eat and chats happily with us. I Now that I have a child, she always helps me take care of the child and makes me eat well [face covering]. She never asks for anything from us, only herself. We get along very happily.

First of all, you need to know why Buddhism advocates vegetarianism. Buddhism originally had no rules against eating meat. After Buddhism was introduced to China, Emperor Wu of Liang initiated the initiative for Buddhist disciples not to eat meat in order to cultivate compassion. Later, it evolved into Chinese Mahayana Buddhist monks not to eat meat. I often hear some lay people say that vegetarian food should be cooked separately, and even the cutting board and pot should not touch the meat. This is completely unnecessary! What matters in Buddhism is the essence, not the superficial form! Eminent monks and virtuous people even eat meat and vegetables, so why should you insist on broth?

If you are not a Buddhist but just a vegetarian, your so-called vegetarian diet means that you can eat noodles cooked in broth. Because this is just a way of life for you, not your belief.

But if you are a very devout Buddhist believer, noodles cooked in broth are not considered vegetarian. If you eat noodles cooked in broth and then label them as vegetarian, it would be a bit deceptive.

Many Buddhist believers I have met, as well as masters in temples and lay people at home, observe the precepts very strictly. The pots and pans used for cooking at home, as well as spoons, chopsticks, kitchen knives, cutting boards, and shabu-shabu rags, all have never been touched by meat. The rice made in this way can be regarded as a standard vegetarian meal.

My mother believes in Buddhism, but she only insists on being a vegetarian on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and only recites the Buddha's name at home instead of going out. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, she only drinks boiled water and eats white steamed buns. The family said that the rice cooker had not cooked the meat and asked her to eat some white rice, but she refused to eat it. They said that the shovel that had used the rice cooker to remove the meat had been used in the rice cooker, but she refused to eat it. Everyone said she was too serious, but she said she was keeping the rules.

Of course, there is a difference between Buddhists and vegetarians, depending on who they are. Strictly speaking, since it is a vegetarian diet, you should not cook noodles in broth. Noodles cooked in broth certainly cannot be considered vegetarian. If you want to be a vegetarian, then be "vegetarian" to the end. This way you can cultivate your mind and become a peaceful person.

Although I don’t quite understand it, being a vegetarian and being a Buddhist are two different things!

Strictly speaking, true vegetarians cannot eat any meat or fish.

My grandfather converted to Buddhism when he was very young and became a layman. He strictly abides by Buddhist rules and does not eat meat, including onions, ginger, garlic and eggs. My mother is the daughter of my grandfather who was only in his fifties. She has never eaten meat since she was a child and she refuses to eat it. All the tableware and cooking utensils in my house come in two sets. Of course, one set is just for my grandpa and mom. The less you eat, the more sensitive you are to the smell of something. If noodles are cooked in broth, my grandpa and mother will smell it as soon as they smell it, and they will never use their chopsticks. Therefore, my grandfather and mother rarely visited other people's homes or ate out in restaurants. I remember when I was a child, my mother took me to Quanjude to eat roast duck. She only ate pancakes with sauce and cucumber shreds, and nothing else. There were not so many drinks at that time, she only drank tea. Grandpa was even more interesting. He took me to a halal restaurant to eat pie. He ordered me pie and egg soup, and told me to eat well and not run around. He went to the door and waited. This is true vegetarianism!

Bringing broth is not strictly vegetarian, if it is taken seriously. Cook it in vegetable oil.

Hello everyone, I am a ramen guy. I have been in the Lanzhou beef noodle industry for many years and have rich practical experience in the production of various catering delicacies! Can vegetarians eat noodles cooked in broth? My answer is: noodles with broth are not vegetarian! As for whether you choose to eat it, it’s better to follow your personal wishes!

My personal homepage has detailed ramen making video tutorials and sharing of various ramen recipes. If you are interested, you can check it out

Since I don’t know why you are vegetarian, I will talk about vegetarianism. The essential difference between meat and meat ingredients, so that everyone can distinguish more clearly and how to make the right choice!

Main ingredients in meat ingredients:

Animal-like meat ingredients are rich in high-quality protein, fats, fat-soluble vitamins, B vitamins and minerals, etc. wait! Among the many ingredients mentioned above, fat and protein in meat ingredients account for the largest proportion.

The main ingredients in the broth:

The reason why the broth is The reason for the strong aroma is that a large amount of meat ingredients are added when making the soup. During the long-term cooking process, the protein and fat in the meat ingredients will precipitate and dissolve in the soup, which results in the freshness of the broth. Rich and fragrant.

From the composition of the meat ingredients and the composition of the ingredients in the broth, we can see that there is no difference between drinking broth and eating meat! Especially for some greasy broths, the fat content in the soup is much higher than the fat content in the meat.

If you are a vegetarian because you want to lose weight, then you should not drink broth!

Many people may think that it is necessary to identify the broth. ? You can taste it as soon as you drink it! If you have such an idea then you are absolutely wrong!

The reason is: the cost of making broth is quite high, so few businesses can afford to use broth as the soup base for noodles! Therefore, there will be many noodle restaurants that cheat or even fake it, but no one will tell you what the soup base of the noodles is. The staff in the store will only tell you that it is broth!

The soup that looks white does not necessarily mean it is broth

< p> Many people think that the milky white soup base must be rich in nutrients and rich in flavor, but this is actually not entirely true! Whether the soup can turn white mainly depends on the fat content in the meat ingredients. When simmering over high fire for a long time, the fat in the soup ingredients emulsifies and dissolves in the soup, so there will be a state of water and milk blending, and a milky white color will naturally appear. The nutritional value of such a milky-white soup is not as high as people imagine, because the main reason why the soup turns milky-white is that fat dissolves in the soup, and the nutritional value contained in fat is not much!

If you are eating noodles that cost around 10 yuan, but the soup is milky white, then you need to pay attention, because the cost of milk soup made from real ingredients is generally very high, and milk is used. The unit price of the noodles used to make the noodle soup base is at least 30 yuan! So price is a good way to identify the authenticity of milk soup!

How to fake milk soup

< p> 1. Mix milk powder into the cooked soup, and the clear soup will immediately turn into milk soup, full of flavor!

2. Add white soup paste and white soup powder to the cooked soup and blend directly with water!

One problem with fake soups like the above is that the milk soup made from real ingredients is not rich in flavor and has a long aftertaste. If you taste the aftertaste of the soup, you will find the real soup. The taste of milk soup is thick enough, but the copycat milk soup does not have such characteristics!

If there is a certain cost for fake milk soup, then the cost of fake clear soup It’s almost zero!

Method 1: Chicken essence flavored with meat, oil and water

This method is very common, but few people taste the real thing. The reason is the meat layer on the wall of the soup noodles. Oil can provide the aroma of meat ingredients, plus some chicken essence that has a good aroma-enhancing effect. A typical example: the cross-bridge rice noodles that everyone often eats. A certain brand of rice noodles uses this method.

The above soup recipe is just one type of clear soup. There is another type that is also clear soup, but the difference is that the soup has a very high viscosity. Why is this?

The answer is: the color of the soup is clear and transparent, but the soup has a high viscosity. This is mainly due to the rich collagen content in the soup. For example, when making the soup, just add more ingredients with the skin on, and add some Making soup from pig skin is the easiest and the cost is low.

Whether it is broth or imitation broth, since you choose a vegetarian diet, avoid eating soups made with meat ingredients. In fact, there are many delicious soup bases, which do not necessarily require meat. Soups, such as relatively fresh seaweed soup, kelp soup, and relatively fragrant mushroom soup, can all be made into delicious soups, and there are also such soup bases in soup noodles. For example, you can choose from more appetizing sour soup noodles. !
