I believe some of you have tried stir fried pig's kidney and/or liver with ginger and dark soy sauce? This is a common blood-nourishing dish among Chinese females and can also be found on a confinement menu.
My chef have prepared this vegetarian version of the dish using vegetarian meat and kidney. For vegetarians and those who avoid pig's kidney/liver (contains high concentration of purine) due to diseases such as gout, you may like to whip up this vegetarian dish using the following recipe. I'm not a vegetarian but i prefer this dish to the one using pig kidney/liver since the latter has too much of "porky" taste which i dislike. ;p

1. Vegetarian Meat [Jin Si Pian (ιδΈη) from Friendly Vegetarian Food Supplier]
2. Vegetarian Kidney (from Friendly Vegetarian Food Supplier)
