#3 Crunchy Gnocchi Salad 5:36
500g gnocchi* (17.6 oz)
pinch of salt
drizzle of vegetable oil
for the dressing:
3-4 tbsp unsweetened vegan yogurt
1 tbsp vegan mayo
½ tsp mustard
1-2 tsp white wine vinegar
salt, pepper to taste
½ cucumber, chopped
optional: 1 red onion, finely chopped (i omitted it)
optional: 1-2 tbsp fresh dill, minced
2-3 tbsp fresh chives, minced
→ serves 2-3
*my gnocchi were on the fresher/moister side, not the super dry ones you can buy in a vacuum pack. I haven’t yet tried the recipes with these. Perhaps they turn out super crispy? Or maybe add a tiny splash of water to the baking sheet of these, along with the oil?? Hope this helps.

That gnocchi looks absolutely sublime omg....and for what it's worth I've never had tiktok (never will) but I do enjoy indirectly getting those recipes here on youtube for as long as you want to share them lol

[@carostraum9683]

PLEASE stay on KZbin ❤ i Really enjoy your videos, they geht me in such a Smooth, Calm Mood! on tik tok, everything is so quick and fast, the vibe would not survive in the same way ❤

[@sunshine199]

This video was soo good: the recipes, the tiktoks you inserted (Neda is hilarious), your rant at the end, the music; just a perfect little video that got me smiling :)

[@lisaleigh3573]

I feel KZbin is a better ,, I like hearing what you have to say and seeing how you make your recipes. 😊

[@saoirsemaimcmahon10]

Your kitchen always looks so ascetically pleasing 🕯️💐🥖

[@_cherry_marly_]

Ich schau deine Videos soso gerne. Eine Sache, die mir jedes Mal auffällt, auf die ich gaar keine Lust hätte, wenn so cremige eher harte Pasten in dem Mixer gemacht werden. Das muss doch ein Krampf sein, das da raus zu bekommen 😅😅 hab den nämlich auch und finde den manchmal echt ein pain in the ass zum sauber machen. Und in Verteidigung der deutschen Würzung, ich bin mit vielen Gewürzen aufgewachsen, Nelken, Kümmel, Pfeffer & Salz natürlich, Paprika edelsüß und scharf, Lorbeerblätter, Majoran, Koriander, Piment, Muskat, und ich vergesse sicher noch was.. 😊 Und deine Stimme ist wunderschön, so smooth und beruhigend.

[@MicaG1303]

Love the recipes!! Also same happens to me with Tiktok, I use it without realizing if that makes sense, I don't use it cause it's fun, you just don't think while you use it! I feel that with KZbin is more of a mindful thing, you actually stop and think if the video you are going to watch will serve you in that moment and make the decision of watching it or not, unlike with tiktok!

[@jahnvisampat9946]

the wallows calling after me intro!! i thought my own music began playing when I clicked on! that made my day!!

[@CrAZychicke]

These all look amazing! Might try the lentil soup this wkn. Love Maya's channel, and your kitchen is always so tidy!

[@_PFrida26_]

The vegan snickers trend>>

[@mariebourgot4949]

Thanks for the video Mina! Everything looks delicious! :)

[@speedyspeedgirl1778]

Ooooh that roasted veggie pasta and the cheesy cauliflour look so good! I'll have to try those soon :) Personally, I don't have tiktok because the daily Berlin chaos is more than enough stimulation for me and I'm happy to protect my mind at least when I'm at home lol But I absolutely see the upsides you're mentioning as well :)

[@c.golden]

Made a Version of the millionairs the other day and I finished them already. Now I want more 😂 but I love the subtle coconut flavor 😊

[@yaelpieats]

i loved the pasta! never get tired of pasta recipes 😍 i thought i was weird for putting hummus in pasta sometimes so it was so nice to see that in your video 😋

[@stephaniepapaleo9001]

The date bars look divine and why haven’t I ever thought of yummy gnocchi salad (I’m Italian, you’d think I’d have made that in my lifetime but noooo! Will be doing that this week for sure!! Cauliflower steaks look 🔥 Thank you!! Love your kitchen, your video style, relaxed and aesthetically pleasing! 🧡

[@alainadacosta1222]

It felt especially cozy when you were making the pasta with the night vibes and the candle lit. I’ve been wanting to try millionaire shortbread, I might give that recipe a shot

[@Mina_Rome]

if u do lmk how it works for u!!

[@glencop8842]

Date carmel is such a game changer ❤️‍🔥

[@Thesuflife]

Everything looks delicious!!!

[@MsBeckly]

These all look so good! The gnocchi salad is genius. I think I’ll try it and add some tofu bacon 😊

[@Shad0203]

I'm gonna try them all ❤❤❤

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Yummy 😋 Titkok recipes Mina. Love 🥰 the video and love 💖 Mina.

[@Funfettiwitch]

all the meals look bussin as usual!

[@Mina_Rome]

Thank uuu

[@justtrynalive]

so im indian and we eat daal pretty much every day which is made with all sort of lentils/legumes. this lentil soup definitely looks interesting. i'd try making it. although so far we have always pressure cooked lentils before throwing it with with onions/ spices so this is sorta new to me. looks delicious nonetheless also tiktok is banned in my country but in my opinion Instagram is lot more toxic and theres just so much racism and negativity there, i personally prefer KZbin over them. the ads are annoying sometimes but at least negative comments are not on top all the time and theres less rage baiting

[@_leni]

loved this

[@Angeleyesly]

THE SONG ❤

[@viktoriawiesner8566]

4:42 we love some new Mina-Lore 😂❤

[@MissCupcakeslover]

KZbin over tiktok any day! I don't use social media (e.g. tiktok/instagram) for the exact reasons that it's addictive. I have also installed adblockers and youtube minimizer so I don't get recommendations/youtube shorts, or else youtube would become addictive to me as well.

[@marinac5329]

Unrelated but your hair looks so good on you!!

[@dasnessie8076]

For neutral (refined) coconut oil available in Germany, you want Palmin or those cheap big blocks of "Pflanzenfett" from the refrigerated section in bigger supermarkets ❤ I use it a lot for making vegan cheese!

[@krisheaaswani6884]

Thank you so much for sharing! Just wondering what brand Dutch of oven you used for the lentil soup?

[@PeripheralPink]

your no airfryer situation makes me feel seen. 😂 the oven in my apartment is from the 1980s and the only settings it has are a temperature dial and on/off. 🥲

[@moxeev]

The pasta and cauliflower looked delicious! ❤

[@Mina_Rome]

thanks!!

[@hannahisabellelenck]

Gurl you neeed that air fryer! Or maybe I just need mina air fryer recipes 😂 I’m completely the same always pinning/collecting content and then never recreating it or if I do completely changing the recipe lol. Tbh I don’t feel TikTok at all - just much prefer Instagram (and use it far too excessively). Thanks for always listing recipe : ingredient substitutions! And tbh everything about your videos is amazingly flawless BUT I do really like the music selection! Lots of Spotify adds in this one. I love those little talks (more of that please!) like the one in the end - just really enjoy listening to you ❤️

[@Cuzcosiscozy]

Yessssssss!!!!!

[@mirchen01]

This video is so good 😍

[@Mina_Rome]

thank u so much!

[@StorytimewithSai]

Nice recipes 🥰 Thank you for sharing

[@Mina_Rome]

thank u for watching them :)

[@MsPapersquirrel]

btw - purple looks amazing on you 🙂

[@pepi3240]

I'm a 27 year old grandma so I prefer youtube 😂

[@afrancis7475]

30 year old grandma here and yep prefer KZbin. Less noise, too many signals from the youth.

[@ellierose674]

Literally I’m exactly the same 😂 even the age

[@Seraphina93]

Love your channellllllll

[@Aya25888]

❤ I absolutely love your videos! I’ve just come from another one called “what I cook in a weekend” that you did a month ago and was just wondering what the song at 2:10 was that then comes back at the end? Thank you and such a lovely video ❤️🌈✨

[@Mina_Rome]

heyyy thanks for your comment!! I forgot saving the music links underneath that video. The song you are looking for is this one: soundcloud.com/user-335723836/tigers-toe

[@debbystragier2154]

I definitely agree with using TikTok as mindless content but I love some of the content so it’s hard to get rid of 😂

[@viatheocean]

I don't have tiktok. I also do social media marketing for a living & don't include tiktok with my clients. I LOVE youtube❤💕

[@JassyReni]

I don’t really like tiktok. I only have it because i post videos there sometimes. There are some that i like but 99,9% of tiktoks are just way too fast paced for me. I can’t understand how the attention span became so low that there must be happening something new in every video every 2 seconds. It‘s way too overwhelming for me, i in fact get anxious. I like calm, „slow“ paced (apparently slow, normal for me and a few years ago) videos better. Also i consume more youtube because i watch it on my tv. The only time i watch more tiktok/reels is when i‘m sick and am too sick to play a game or something and just scroll mindlessly on my phone

[@mirchen01]

Danke für deine mühe❤

[@Mina_Rome]

[@veronikab1607]

I love ur yt channel and am not on tiktok for the reason you named;). There is still the shorzs option on yt like Maya does. Anyway, really appreciate your content and hope u stay on ty❤

[@cicadaguy]

i had no idea ur half arab that’s so neat! very cool video as always !!

[@KlaraL-_-]

I´ve never been on tiktok and have no desire to. Seems like it would just stress and annoy/anger me, because it´s so fast, chaotic and filled with so much bullshit I have no interest in. KZbin, I absolutely love. I can just watch whatever in peace, pause it or listen to music and I can write comments here. And don´t think you need to be on tiktok to promote yourself 💚🧡

[@w_julia]

the miso-paste in the millionaire-bites? i have questions lol :') otherwise: love your recipe-inpos! 😍

[@Mina_Rome]

Try it!! Miso paste in date caramel makes it taste so much more like real buttery salted caramel. I don’t know the science behind it but trust me haha

[@cymonepowers2015]

Im gonna be soo happy to move ill probably be making these all week

[@Funfettiwitch]

11:25 Everything is best in moderation. sometimes we need to understand that extremes of hating something are just a call for us to take responsibility for how we spend our time. both platforms can be educating and entertaining, but overindulging can cause a lot of anxiety within us!!

[@sgutmayer]

Where is your soup pot from?😄😄

[@nainarastogi4185]

The crust in the millionaire bites has uncooked oats, is that safe to eat?

[@lenani9143]

Ich liebe Neda 😍 Wasn‘t expecting for her to make an appearance here 😄

[@sophieee5936]

refined coconut oil has a more neutral flavour than unrefined coconut oil!

[@pinktulipsx]

what does adding the miso paste do to the shortbread? i wanna try this asap

[@Mina_Rome]

gives it a very salty deep (?) flavour that reminds me of actual real caramel! it's so good!

[@pinktulipsx]

@@Mina_Rome ooh how interesting thank you!!

[@Winterliebende]

I am addicted to youtube 😅

[@Kattaunnadi]

I don't have tiktok but I waste a lot of time on KZbin and I think it's worse than tiktok because it takes me longer to watch a few 20min vids than it does to watch more 20sec vids

[@7yu00]

when i used to have tiktok & instagram and compare the screen time from youtube and tiktok to then, i actually spend a lot more time (3-4 more hours on top of already watching tiktok and instagram reels) because u just get lost in trance basically because the short videos get ur attention quickly, but then end quickly too. idk that’s just me lol so love channels like mina’s that show these hacks without having to watch shorts or reels or tiktoks

[@naminixoxo825]

but youtube is better for your attention span than tiktok 😂

[@cymonepowers2015]

I speed up the play by a 3rd and it cuts the time down. Thank me later lol

[@morbidleaf]

that's a good thing though, i mean in comparison to watching like forty 10-second videos in a row. the algorithm just serves you content and we absorb it mindlessly without having a particular aim or purpose for looking at it, whereas for KZbin you have more choice in what you'll watch that day based on your subscriptions, recommendations, etc (unless you watch KZbin shorts, which is just the same as TikTok).

[@_cherry_marly_]

Haha i personally loose wayyyxy more time scrolling through Instagram without any purpose than watching two or three real videos on youtube that satisfy me... I don't get as lost on KZbin as i get on Instagram

[@isaw9969]

I always have a hate for things that are the 'healthier version' of stuff, but don't taste remotely the same. With the millionaire shortbread things; would you say they are a good substitute? I feel like the oatmeal base looked very bland (the way raw oatmeal tastes, lol) and the 'caramel' just looked like it'd taste of peanut butter

[@Mina_Rome]

Since it is a no bake version, you definitely have to expect the softer texture. When it comes to the flavor however, if u use a type of butter instead of the coconut oil and go for a more neutral tasting nut butter like almond or cashew, u get something that’s imo similar enough and reallly rich tasting!

[@isaw9969]

@Mina_Rome alright thank so much for answering, I'll try it out then! Hopefully they sell good taste free butter/oil here

[@mirchen01]

Ich hab vor zwei Jahren tik tok gelöscht und sehr dankbar das getan zu haben, mir gibt es nichts bzw. da sind so viele toxische Inhalte denen man schwer aus dem Weg gehen kann

[@anfearaerach]

As someone Irish: millionaire shortbread is so easy to make, it's a low budget tray bake for a reason, why make it so complicated :c

[@emilalatour4518]

tiktok is the closest available thing to vine and I loved vine. But I usually find more productive information in yt videos, so to me yt and tiktok do completely different things

[@Mina_Rome]

i get that i miss vine a lot haha but even back then I'd watch vine compilations on youtube haha

[@karolinas.1282]

I completely deleted TikTok but ever since KZbin is pushing shorts so much I have to follow the same logic with deleting the app from my phone. I wish I could block this function of KZbin to be honest.

[@edus82]

I love KZbin and hate TikTok. I do have an account but I don’t use it. It’s just not for me. Firstly, I hate when non video platforms do videos without the controls being available to me. I like speeding things up, cannot stand normal speed, however, bc they’re meant to be short, some of them are too fast for me to understand what’s going on, so it’s not for me. KZbin I love. I live half my life on KZbin. 😂

[@elizabethalice6634]

make sure any dates you use aren't from apartheid states :)

[@Hannah-id9mi]

I used them is that bad?

[@shinmoda]

I'm no so much anti-TikTok like I used to be (like you) but I still just don't use it. However, I do watch TikTok comps on KZbin so I'm kind of cheating 💀 I figure I would get totally consumed by TikTok if I had it, so I stay away from it.

[@samc2]

👏😊💐

[@hallotschuss4177]

Süß, die kurzen Haare stehen dir 💖

[@nouryasser223]

Girrrrl I was shocked by the fact that you’re half Arab omg!🫢❤️love you anyways

[@joeyq9953]

KZbin > TikTok

[@valem5588]

You‘re half arab omg nice I thought you were half spanish

[@sdestiny414]

Wait you‘re arab???

[@1mustangsally]

How lazy is a recipe that requires you to roast your veggies

[@lidda9010]

I think the short format of tiktok is extremely bad for our attention span & therefore tolerance for boredom and dopamine production. I hate that it's on youtube now cause I'm super sensitive to clicking that kinda shit 🥲🥲🥲 Edit: I also think you can be a lot more mindful about what you actually WANT to watch on youtube! On tiktok I feel 0 control about what I'm watching or when I'm gonna stop scrolling
