I'll tell you right now, there's no such thing as a complete list of vegetarian dishes.   There are so many great dishes out there and you could easily spend an entire day just eating out.  If you're new to vegetarian cooking and have absolutely zero clue where to start (I understand), then this post will probably save your life!  The first thing you need to know about vegetarian cooking is that there's nothing magical about it.  It's not going to take more time or effort than any other type of cooking, but it does require a little planning and a willingness to experiment with new ingredients.   If you don't want to spend hours in the kitchen each day, then I suggest learning how to prepare basic vegetarian dishes like the ones I will be going over below.

But I don't always have time to go out and get it from my favorite ramen shops, so I like to make my own at home. This is a quick and easy recipe that will give you a great homemade meal in less than 30 minutes!

Marinate for at least 30 minutes. You can also marinate in a zip-lock bag for ease of convenience! Be careful not to over-marinate, or else you'll get too much saltiness out of your chicken strips (and we don't want that). Remove the meat from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels before cooking it up! 1 tablespoon of...
