[@stephaniehays4527]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen ,wish I was girl,I'd love to pick your brain! Another great video,that tofu/cilantro dish I will be trying very soon,everything looked fantastic! ! The mac n chz too,,it's on my list! Thanks for making my transition into a healthy lifestyle easy and fun♡

[@shannontarango9312]

I live very close to boulder!!! Welcome!!!!

[@gchristine2583]

Uggggh I live near Denver, but I'm visiting out of state right now😭😭😭😭

[@kathystoner5239]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen I live half an hour from SLC

[@sarahbollinger2658]

I’m in Fort Collins very close by. Have fun❤️❤️

[@ti196]

If you wanna take your mac n cheese game up a notch, I would suggest adding a tsp to 1 tbsp white miso paste! I use the Hikari Miso brand and it makes it SO savory and cheesy

[@Whatsername4224]

Khaedin Thanks very much for the tip!

You can get frozen soy shrimp at Asian supermarkets. We have one here and the brand is Verisoy!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Ooh I will check it out!

[@jillyfelton]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen also if you have loving hut in the bay, they often have a little freezer with soy shrimp and other vegan meats :)

[@alohaleila3233]

LOVE THIS FORMAT! Shows different aspects of you! Shows dishes that you've ordered and made. Bihon made out of MungBean is LIFE 😁 So are the other dishes ❤️

[@ethanwilkins5001]

I just had that Vietnamese restaurant last night! It’s called Al Chay and is a SLC legend. All the vegans in Utah go there. SLC is actually a super vegan friendly city with tons of vegan places, and almost every food joint has a vegan option.

[@rojiroco]

That rice noodle dish was pretty much vegan pancit!!! Looks so good!

[@melissalafarga7277]

I'm seriously pausing your video to comment after knowing that you listen to the front bottoms, they are seriously my FAVORITE BAND. That made me way too happy.

[@mariapleitez2696]

Keep up the great work! I’ve done so many of your recipes, they’re so good! I am not vegan, I transitioned to whole food plant based about 7 months ago, and I love that you don’t use oil in a lot of your food. Keep them coming, Sarah! You’re a great vegan chef!

[@billandtomrsohot]

You’re really into Chinese/ Vietnamese cuisine lately, soooo happy that you are because I’ve been craving all this goodness for the past month and I can’t wait to make these recipes mmmm ❤️ safe travels when you go home!

[@himia634]

Remember the recipe video Sarah did for her cheese dip? Well, I tried subbing the other ingredients (mostly the non-orange vegetables such as, in this case, the potatoes) with steamed/ roasted eggplant (without the skin) and it came out really great! It was really creamy and like she said, it heats up pretty well. It's also a great substitute to soaked cashews, in my opinion. :)

[@xloohoolizzyx]

U make the kind of food I LOVE. Thankful to know you love tofu as much as I do

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha borderline addicted. I should probably mix it up a little!

[@janiedoen1459]

All that tofu looks SOOO good. I've been avoiding tofu for a few months to see if it helps my acne, but oh man it looks good!

[@violetdove2514]

Hoisin is like an Asian bbq sauce and it’s wonderful. I use it as the sweet component in Chinese and Korean style dishes.

[@katemaguire958]

You inspire me to take better care of myself! I enjoy watching you so much....very professional, yet personable, and entertaining. Good job!!

[@MipoChici]

[@seanleas6780]

I started trying the apple cider vinegar drink with a splash of juice in the morning. It’s absolutely amazing, I always feel great afterwards!

[@kierstensmokowski9794]

I LOVE THE FRONT BOTTOMS! I have seen them live a few times and I highly recommend! Being a jersey girl, I have some friends that went to college with them and I am sooooo close to meeting them. Enjoy your trip! 😘

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Hehe they are amazing! I would love to see them live someday.

[@noisykitchen1666]

That dinner looks so good! I wish I had more places like that around me

[@mysticseraph2213]

Love the sound of that cilantro lime tofu! Thanks so much for posting a recipe for it; I can't wait to try it out! :D

[@GreenVegan816]

I really enjoyed this video. It's great to see you venturing out beyond your comfort zone because it reminds me to do the same and live a little. Loved the recipe ideas, too!

[@jessimerrill6579]

The four agreements is awesome! A study in consciousness is great too, found that book in yellow springs, ohio. Loved it

[@rebeccahuber7824]

That mac n cheese looks BOMB!! As does all your other recipes. Yum!!!

[@iconicole888]

Sarah, you're my favorite. I absolutely love these chill videos. I've also just been putting a lot of pressure on myself to eat stupid healthy (like low fat as possible, no processed foods, just kind of over the top for my busy lifestyle), and seeing your lovely gains and still eating good food just helps, I guess. I don't know, maybe that's silly, but you're killing it.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I go through phases like that too, sometimes! It's nice to do that every once in awhile but I agree, not super sustainable for a busy lifestyle.

[@MadalinaZbranca]

I love your tofu recipes! And sauces! I hope that everything is going well for you!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

thank you!!!

[@undergrace1808]

I love ur tofu no oil fry video, so simple, I make it all for my son all the time, I put gen tso on it. Thank you Sarah!

[@akittensmeow]

Wow all of these look amazing, I’m a waitress so I barely have time to cook, but are you coming out with a recipe book? I’d definitely buy

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I hope to make a cookbook soon!

[@Jay-jn1pv]

I also recently went on my first road trip with friends out of state I was the only vegan in the car one pit stop my friends had McDonald's while I was nibbling on cashews and kind bars lol stay safe out there make the best of it and keep spreading positive energy and food!!!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha I also stopped at mcdonald's just to use their bathroom and grab a coffee.

[@submissionartist444]

Have a great trip! Road trips is life. Safe travels.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you!!!

[@melissah3527]

Traveling alone is terrifying the first time I agree!!! Can't wait for the tofu series, all look delicious. Anyone else craving soup now for breakfast???

[@AngelGirlUkUk]

Puffy Tofu is great for the Curry Noodle dish. It soaks up the sauce and is delicious

[@patty-cf7jj]

I just checked out your cookbook wishlist on your blog. If you haven’t bought it yet, the America’s Test Kitchen vegan for Everyone is great. Their ricotta made with cauliflower and cashews is so simple and so good.

[@hyelinK]

That tofu dish with cilantro marinade is so creative =)! I'm gonna try. Definitely gonna try the audible as well. Hope you enjoyed the trip and thanks for awesome videos como siempre :*

[@jackieperez4033]

I love all your vegan food videos! Everything is very realistic and simple to do! Seeing that soy shrimp made me miss this vegan place back home in San Diego! I used to order kung pao fried "shrimp" from this place called sipz and I crave it all the time!

[@5weet2t]

Thumbs up for leaving on a road trip. I went on one with my sis and cousins to Alabama and I thought I would be sick from leaving my house. I have issues with just getting to the grocery store. So I applaud you and i hope you keep challenging yourself.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you! It was a fun challenge. Probably wouldn't do it again though, at least alone haha.

[@caleighhardecker3707]

I love these videos! They give me so many ideas

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

glad you enjoyed! :) thanks for watching!

[@wsteadtest]

First of all...damn you for having so much great vegan food on offer in the states! So jealous! UK is improving but no where near on the same scale...although I have just bought Avant Garde Vegan's new cookbook and it is A-Maze-Zing!!! Secondly I think hoisin sauce is made from soy beans and sweet potatoes amongst other things...enjoy. Love the channel xx

[@funiqti3271]

Love the recipes! Tofu is new to my diet and I needed ideas. Looking forward to seeing more new videos on tofu. Thanks so much!

[@twistedgirl2295]

I have been watching you for a long time and I love your channel so much you actually inspired me to try going vegan. Thank you for your videos love you girl

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

that's awesome!!!

[@ilovepotatoesforever9818]

Love that you are in a nice hotel room getting food delivered! Yaaaas! Also, why are you there? I kept waiting to hear the life update!! Maybe the road trip was the update?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha yeah I neglected to mention I was on the road trip because I moved out of CA. :)

[@ilovepotatoesforever9818]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen um....whoa! Can you say more? That’s a HUGE life change! I send you blessings for the journey ✨🙏🏼

[@jillg5934]

Have you read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? That's my favorite book and you would love it

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I'm reading it right now! Haha.

[@robertmarsh3861]

One of my favorite video layouts yet. Keep it up!

[@sherylmcneill7811]

Thank you for the Audible offer! Finally got around to signing up. Thank so much!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Awesome! I hope you love it as much as I do :)

[@katiehickling9480]

You can get those shrimp in the freezer section at vegan republic in Berkeley!

[@janicewong7535]

Hoisin sauce is a Chinese (specific to the city of Hong Kong) sauce used as a condiment is a variety of dim sums, but mostly for rice rolls! It's an intensely sweet and mildly salty dipping sauce that is very pungent in flavour. Interestingly, "hoisin" translates directly to "seafood" in English BUT the most popular and widely available Chinese sauce brand, Lee Kum Kee's, hoisin sauce SHOULD be vegan. In fact, hoisin sauce, although translates to "sea food", isn't actually made of seafood. But of course, double check just to make sure (:

[@Witchyone131]

please becareful traveling by yourself ❤️food looks amazing as always

[@scorpzero2245]

Thank you so much for the recipes. I really want to try the buffalo cauliflower one. It looks so good.

[@veronicabe7902]

I LOVE ALL THE SPRINGROLLS, SOUP, NOODLES DISHES. ALSO, YOUR COOKING IS SO GOOD.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

thank you!

[@ramiroguzman344]

The four agreement book is a good one, and your recipes looks delicious,I really enjoy your videos😀

[@lironyanay4854]

Just made the coconut soup! It tuned out DELICIOUS 😍 defiantly gonna make it stay In. Thanks Sarah

[@lisa.kitahara]

I used to not like mock meat but I’m digging seitan lately 🤤

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It's so good! :)

[@jadebimbo]

My FAVORITE meal of late is vegan mac and cheese (my recipe is very similar to yours, I just use more nooch and garlic) and your breaded tofu recipe!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

glad you're enjoying the tofu :)

[@melissah3527]

Jade Weisletten what is your mac and cheese cheese sauce recipe? I've tried finding Sarah's.. thank you😊

[@erikaendokokubun607]

Loved all the dinners! :) Have fun travelling around!!

[@EMILYYC773]

You always give me great ideas! Now I can use some of the stuff I already have

[@Josephfrom1990]

Sarah's Shenanigans. Glad you're safe though. Something comforting and endearing about watching you eat Vietnamese food. I had pho for the first time recently and was very happy with it. Those fish cakes in ramen are called naruto btw.

[@CBFeats]

You never fail to amaze me. Such delicious and easy looking recipes!

[@billyveganmecanic4440]

We love your shenanigans! :)

[@natalielongmire2846]

YOU LIKE THE FRONT BOTTOMS!!!!!!! Man I always knew I felt a music kinship with you and now it's confirmed

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Hehe they're only my favorite ever

[@brendacuevas938]

I keep seeing cheese sauce made with carrots and I have made it myself but don't like the sweetness from the carrot. I experimented with fire roasted red bell pepper and it's so good and it also gives the sauce the yellow/orange color

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

That sounds AMAZING. I love red peppers.

[@LittleBlondeVegan]

I just saw a video yesterday about a company making vegan shrimp that tastes realistic. They said it’d be out early 2018 so maybe this is it? If not, there’s another one coming out soon ☺️

[@buffycatnip]

i saw that video too!!! there was a lot of ignorant people in the comments saying, what's the point of eating that when you have the real shrimp? like wtf?!?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Oooh I'll have to look that up!

[@katerocks82196]

By the way, was that real shrimp in the video? I thought that shrimp wasn't okay to eat on a vegan diet because it's fish.

[@buffycatnip]

Kaitlin Kelsch im not sure what the ingredients were to make the "shrimp" but it was def vegan. Same way we have vegan chicken and turkey.

[@katerocks82196]

Oh, okay, thanks for the clarification. I was really confused there for a sec.

[@karendang2743]

Sarah!!! I saw the vegan shrimp at the asian (vietnamese) supermarket in the frozen section I believe. Love you!

[@rachelbrown5892]

All these look awesome!! So thankful you shared them!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Glad you enjoyed :)

[@Wyldyflower]

So many things i want to make thank you for awesome ideas! The curry one that’s first on my list.

[@squirrel6536]

Audible sounds cool, but I'm much more a fan of regular books :) their smell alone is enough to keep me loyal, let alone the feel of the paper between my fingers and, with used books at least, the thought of what the book's story is- where did it start out? Where has it been? Who's owned it? - it's just pretty amazing... but I'm also a bookworm who will forever be in love with books over everything else, soooooo yeah. Recipes look delicious ^.^

[@addie2754]

Sarah! If you see this I would appreciate the name of this restaurant. I thought I'd tried every decent vegan friendly restaurant here in SLC but I've never been here! Love your videos :)

[@veganlove6312]

I love your videos! Very informative and down to Earth. I’m always looking for dinner ideas during the week as you inspire me to switch it up from the norm. I feel like my dinner is never complete without tofu but it’s so expensive where I live in NY. What brand of tofu do you use?

[@margaretmartin6620]

BTW, you are very brave to travel through the desert by yourself. Good for you. Stay safe and I hope you are having a good time. :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you

[@CoffeyGoddess]

Come to Dallas 🙃🤓....You are so my friend in my head

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I want to visit Dallas and Austin sometime soon!

[@CoffeyGoddess]

Yayyy you would have a blast 😍🎉🎊

[@DireWolfSif12349]

That food looked amazing! Definitely gonna try the Buffalo Cauliflower Wings and the Mac n Cheese.

[@otheremail5191]

The front bottoms omg I love you

[@cascadestars]

these are all like literally my favorite type of meals and I wanna go grocery shopping now and make it all FUCK

[@EvolutionofMasha]

I have been going back and forth on what to do with my TJ Super Firm Tofu and you just solved it! I am definitely going to make that cilantro lime marinade. Also that mac n cheezeeeeeeee.......yum!! So fricken creamy.

[@littlelonny]

Can’t get over you, Sarah! 😩

[@mdocho4944]

I read the four agreement that is wonderful

[@cascadestars]

I shouldn't have smoked weed before watching this because now I'm hungry af

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Hahaha oh nooooo

[@joketsu100]

cascadestars yay fellow stoner

[@cascadestars]

joketsu100 *passes the bong*

[@dubiousenthusiast]

Mattilyn Collins No kidding! At least when I have the munchies now, I eat vegan mac&cheese instead of McDonalds! :)

[@aleciataylor3127]

Lol same

[@aviidea3330]

Post your road trip playlist!!!!!

[@donnadeniese7388]

Thanks so much! Where can I get the actual recipe for that soup? Couldn’t find it on your blog....thanks again!🙏🏾🌿❤️

[@jadebimbo]

Whaaaattt that shrimp looks legit 😱

[@alejandraalejandra2792]

Trying one of these recipes this week🙌🏻

[@melodieappadoo6930]

Loved the format and the recipes 😉

[@methusharavi5136]

is it me or does sarah look like gal gadot, the women that plays wonder woman

[@JeffreyHThompson]

agree!!

[@tiedyemakeup]

those dinners look amazing!!!

[@GrungeGalactica]

I need to try that mac & cheese recipe, looks amazing! Thanks for the vid love your genuine personality too 😊

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@Mango-sc5fx]

That mac and cheese looked yummy! I'll definitely make that tomorrow 🤗💛

[@NoodleHead14]

The fake shrimp looked so real I was scared that it was going to be 😳

[@ecarrasco234]

NoodleHead14 Same! I was like, "soy shrimp?"

[@neyneyney9758]

NoodleHead14 hahahhaha me too

[@elizabethv1559]

I love your recipes! I did notice you use frozen broccoli, just fyi if you don't sprinkle powdered mustard or eat with red cabbage it won't release sulforaphane. which is what you want from broccoli per Dr Greger from the book How Not To Die. Also broccoli sprouts have even more nutrition than broccoli. If you grow your own he said broccoli sprouts have the most nutrition two days after soaking overnight I didn't know this so I am just passing it on. 🤗

[@TraceyBoyland]

All look delish. Going to try these

[@IrishMiddleChild]

just made the curry noodle soup OMG! YUM!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

curry noodles are just so good haha 😍

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

That cheese sauce looks fantastic!

[@xylenebracamonte1569]

I also love listening to Post Malone!

[@giax2031]

Can you give any advice on affordable cities to live in, in the bay area?

[@oh2cute4words]

Go to buds before you leave here!!! It’s the best in slc ❤️

[@ladyrican28]

great vid, love the rice noodle one..love love love rice noodles...safe travels!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

thank you! and yessss, rice noodles are life. :)

[@lilyhilz9427]

you should make more vlog styled videos !!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I would like to start soon!

[@janicewong7535]

Oh man we gotta step up our game in Vancouver and establish more vegan Vietnamese restaurants!

[@TheDiscountVegan]

I love all the tofu ideas ❤

[@HeatherHolt]

I’m a weird vegan. I hate tofu and kale. I’m excited for your tofu series, I’d love to like tofu, truly! I’m hoping you change my mind!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Aw I hope you can find a recipe you enjoy. I also used to not be the biggest fan of tofu but now I love it!

[@rayradiance666]

Hi Sarah, I remember that video on eliminating certain types of food to find the cause of your acne. Do you think there is a chance that it might be tofu? Frequent consumption of it can cause hormonal imbalance from what I’ve heard.

[@gogentarose]

love your videos! how is the red lentil pasta? I keep meaning to try that!

[@PineapplesFromHell]

Btw I keep making your peanut sauce tofu. SO AMAZING
