Vegan Japanese cream stew is the perfect dish to nourish your soul with comfort food in the fall and winter! It's full of vegetables, jackfruit, and creamy coconut milk!
2½ cups(600ml)vegetable stock(reduced-sodium is best so you can control the flavor)
¼ cup(37.5g)raw cashews
1Chef's Choice coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Chop the onion, carrots, and potatoes into bite-size pieces. Cut the base off of the shimeji mushrooms, and separate using your hands. Cut the florets off of the broccoli, and chop the stem into bite-size pieces. Drain and rinse the jackfruit, and squeeze out the water.
Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sautée for 3-4 minutes. Add the shimeji mushroom and sautée for an additional 3-4 minutes. Add the white wine and deglaze the pot.
Add the carrots and potatoes and sautée for 5 minutes. Add the jackfruit and broccoli, sautée for a minute and pour in the vegetable stock. Once it reaches a boil, simmer for 15 minutes.
While the stew is simmering, add the raw cashews and coconut milk to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add it to the pot and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Taste the stew for salt and pepper. You may or may not need any seasonings depending on how strong your vegetable stock is.
