Meatless
The term "meatless" refers to food or a dietary choice that does not include meat. This can apply to meals, recipes or lifestyles that either eliminate meat entirely or focus on vegetarian ingredients. Meatless options may include vegetables, grains, legumes, fruits, nuts and dairy products, but they do not contain any kind of meat, such as beef, pork, poultry or fish.

Stir Fried Glass Noodles (Japchae)
Japchae is a combination of noodles and an assortment of vegetables. Sometimes 1 cup of leftover meat is added for protein. Sweet potato noodles are sold at Asian markets. If you can’t find them, substitute the fattest mung bean/cellophane noodles available and follow the package directions to cook.

Hominy Chili
Hominy Chili uses high protein, high fiber, gluten-free TVP, essentially making this a meatless chili. TVP is Textured Vegetable Protein. I think I’m the only one in our family who can’t tell much difference between using this and real beef.
