i was at a friend's house today and she didn't have a lot of vegan food at home, so we just cooked some spaghetti with a vegetable sauce. We sauted onions, bell peppers and tomatoes in a frying pan with oil, added soy sauce, vegetable broth and water and later seasoned it with basil and salt. Tasted incredibly good for such a simplistic recipe. Definitely recommend it. Would probably use some more vegetables if you have more at home.

This video is so helpful (and relatable). I recently was trying to use up pantry goods and made a vegan rice “pudding” for breakfast. I cooked rice in coconut milk, added turmeric and coconut sugar, and then stirred in some ground flax seed to give it more of a “pudding” feel. i topped it off with some chopped nuts, chia seeds, and frozen mango and it was amazing🤤

you can also use the veggies with tofu and recreate the Korean veggie Street sandwich xD

[@kaitlynnlepage755]

Just letting everyone know, if you're new to veganism or something and you try the recipe with tofu and cornflakes, make sure the brand of cornflakes you're using is vegan friendly because most well-known ones are not

What makes them not vegan friendly?

If you like using seaweed in your food I would totally recommend buying dried seaweed (Seetang) from the Asian market, instead of using the toasted nori sheets. They are much more expensive than the dried ones and have less flavour.

I haven’t been grocery shopping for a while but I have t.o.n.s of watermelon rind jars in my fridge, that I had made into jam, tsukemono and kimchi, so my go to meal these days is a bowl of cooked cereal (black rice, quinoa, jasmine rice…), watermelon kimchi or tsukemono, a few beans (chickpea, kidney beans, green peas, lentils…) and a few mushrooms (I always keep dried shiitake and black mushrooms, and often fresh enoki mushrooms in the fridge, they keep pretty well)

Quick tip if you don't have tortillas or wraps at home or just want a small amount: mix 200g flour, 100ml water, 8tbsp oil and 1 tbsp of salt, let it sit, form little tortillas and bake it in a pan without oil et voila. :) since we've found this recipe we've never bought pre made wraps again

As an Austrian I've tried replicating Kaiserschmarrn lots of times and from my experience, using aquafaba is not really necessary (even though the traditional recipe calls for egg whites). You can just make kind of a thick pancake batter containing flour, sugar, plant based milk, apple cider vinegar, baking powder (this is important), vanilla, a pinch of salt and if you want a chia or flaxseed egg. If you want to try it: First combine 1cup of plant based milk with 1tablespoon of the vinegar. Combine 1.5cups of flour, some salt and baking powder. Add 2 big tablespoons of sugar to the milk, then add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix. Add the flax egg and stir. Bake it in a generously oiled pan (vegan butter oder sunflower / rapeseed oil) until one side is golden brown, then flip it and instantly tear it into smaller pieces and then let them cook till done. Serve with apple sauce or plum compote and powdered sugar. I've made this for lots of non vegan friends and family and they all loved it and couldn't really tell the difference. Thanks for your awesome videos!

[@mirabelle_mirage]

Wait actually we cooked the Kaiserschmarrn in a pan! You pour the dough in so it is a really thick layer and then when it's golden to dark brown you cut it in 4 pieces so you can flip it. Then wait until it's brown on the other side and use a spatula to make little pieces. But I guess it doesn't make that much 9r a difference in the end 🤷‍♂️

Quick tip for the tortillas, if you want to save them while keeping them soft you need to put them on a kitchen tower/ piece of fabric and save that on a plastic back, they remain soft for over a week (probably longer)

[@mimi_smiles]

Mina if you like choc mint flavour you should make this slice, it’s really good and it’s healthy :) Combine in a food processor 1 cup dates, 2/3 cup sunflower seeds, 1/3 cup pepita seeds, 2 heaped tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 tsp mint extract, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, a bit of maple syrup to taste and water to get the right consistency. Blend everything together, press into a slice tin and cut into big slices.

@Dasherwind , don’t consider it any longer, just do it! Give it a go! Just BOOM! Like that! Most people regret not making the shift earlier, so save yourself that regret 😉 Besides, as far as ingredients are concerned, if you focus on whole food plant based meals, every country has plenty. My repertoire of vegan dishes is made of recipes from all over the world : India, Japan, France, Spain, Italy, Lebanon, Morocco… All delicious and filling. The only real limit is your imagination and your willingness to make the change.

@@dasherwind5392 I live in France and in most cities vegan alternatives just do not exist! I recently moved to Paris and now I can enjoy alternatives… which I seldom do, because, again, I focus on plants, unprocessed foods, and whatever processed “alternatives” I want I just do myself! Price is really not an issue! I make soy milk, soy yogurt, tofu, and okara (soy pulp) cheese spreads. I make delicious tofu mayonnaise and chickpea tuna, I make seitan from scratch (my mother taught me when I was 12), beans, lentils, and mushroom burgers. I recently started making eggs from split mung beans, I use aquafaba for meringues, and I could go on and on. The only expensive ingredient I use is nutritional yeast, but I found that white miso and marmite could do the trick for many recipes and they’re cheaper. Honestly, I spend less now, being vegan.
