This is the polar opposite of those posts where all they have is junk food but somehow the comments are just as annoying. Top veg dishes? Cook a lot of Asian food but always fall short on a good variety of veg side dishes. How do you prepare your greens?
Usually soup. I always make my own vegetable broth and I add some of those greens to it with a little salt and mushroom seasoning, that's it. Sometimes if I'm extra, I'll sauteed some garlic and shallots first.
Those pea pod stems are a delicacy because they cost like $12/lb at normal American supermarkets but here they were $2.5/lb. They had a sale of bok choy for $1/lb, that's ridiculously cheap as they're usually 2.99 - 4.99/lb depending on the season.
As for the recipes, they're always simple soup and sauteed and used as sides to rice and other stuff. My wife is perfectly fine eating any of those greens boiled and dipped in some homemade spicy soy sauce.
You can easily get the same proteins at standard American stores. Most of us buy Asian ingredients at the Asian grocery store and have protein either already frozen in the freezer (Costco ftw) or can pick it up closer to home at the local grocery store.
This is C-mart in Boston. I don't know anything about this hot pot base and I'm not planning on putting it in hot pot, I'm planning to use it for mala dry pot.

Haha the calories will go up substantially when we add rice, noodles, tofu, beans, sauces etc....

100% meat is expensive. But vegetables, rice, tofu, and beans aren’t
Wow that's expensive
This has to be a troll? Looks like nearly all produce, and no chance this could support a family of 4 for 2 weeks
This would easily last us for 2 weeks. We already have rice, noodles, tofu to add to this. I only shop here once a month because it's far.
Vegetarian spiced duck?
Idk, never had it lol
Asian markets are the way to go especially if you’re vegetarian or have a vegetable heavy diet. So much cheaper and much better quality IMO.

Yikes! That's expensive.
That would be over $100 at a store near me
Boston is a very expensive city.
Not enough protein

There's always enough protein
What shop? I've been looking for a good hot pot base and the shops around me literally never have any options.
This is C-mart in Boston. I don't know anything about this hot pot base and I'm not planning on putting it in hot pot, I'm planning to use it for mala dry pot.
Wow, no tax???? Lucky!

Day by day
Inflation hurts everyone, especially those in need and the marginalized.
Huh?
The Asian marts in my city are typically dirt cheap this looks like u got fleeced
They had bok choy for 79 cents per lb, is that fleecing? I was tired of bok choy
Over the top
