Today I'm showing you my three favorite vegan recipes I make when I don't really want to cook. Enjoy! 🥰
✹ Recipes ✹
VEGAN EGG ROLL IN A BOWL
16 oz vegan beef style crumbles (can sub crumbled tofu or tempeh)
3-4 cups shredded cabbage (or 14 oz bag coleslaw mix)
1 shredded carrot
1/2 white onion, finely diced
minced garlic, to preference (I used 4 cloves)
1 teaspoon minced or grated ginger (can use ginger paste)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
sliced scallions, to garnish
Sauté onion, garlic and ginger in oil over medium-high heat in a nonstick skillet for 3-5 minutes, until onion is translucent.
Add vegan beef or tofu crumbles and pan-fry until browned, a few minutes.
Add in cabbage, carrot, soy sauce, and rice vinegar and stir to distribute. Add 1/2 cup water to the pan, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and allow to steam for about 10 minutes, until cabbage is wilted.
Stir and adjust flavors, adding more soy sauce if you feel it’s necessary. You can also add black pepper or chili paste for some heat. Stir in the toasted sesame oil.
Enjoy as-is or serve over rice or noodles. Top with fresh scallions and enjoy.
SOUTHWESTERN QUINOA SALAD
-1 cup quinoa, thoroughly rinsed
-1 cup water
-1 (15 oz) can black or pinto beans, drained and rinsed
-1 red bell pepper, diced
-2 tablespoons minced red onion
-2 roma tomatoes, diced
-1/2 cup corn (frozen, canned or fresh)
-1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
-2 tablespoons olive oil
-juice of 1/2 lime
-1 teaspoon chili powder
-1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
-1 teaspoon ground cumin
-salt and pepper, to preference
-1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or ACV
Cook quinoa in a rice cooker, or prepare just like rice on the stove. (Bring water to a gentle boil, reduce heat to low, cover and steam 15-20 minutes.) Allow to sit for 5 minutes after removing from heat, then fluff with a fork.
To assemble the salad, whisk all dressing ingredients in the bottom of a large mixing bowl, then toss the vegetables and beans to coat. Lastly, fold in the fluffed quinoa. Can be served chilled or lightly warmed over the stove or in the microwave.
ROASTED VEGETABLE ORZO
-1 cup orzo
-1 tablespoon vegan butter/olive oil
-2 cups vegetable broth (I use chicken-style)
Toast orzo over medium-high heat in butter until golden brown. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and enjoy.

Thanks for watching this week's video! Hopefully this gives you some inspo on those days when you just can't be bothered to put in more than a shred of effort. 😅 And thanks again to Ritual for sponsoring this video! Head to ritual.com/sarahskitchen20 to get 20% off your first month with Ritual.

[@carina7886]

Love this so much! Do you have a “simple/minimal” ingredient cook book? Nudge nudge.. lol

[@colleenmccann4431]

Hey Sarah, Aunt Colleen. You and your Dad were really the only ones on the Sullivan side of your family who loved to cook. You remind me so much of your sweet dad.❤

[@mertserozan7268]

Your “don’t want to cook” meals are my “want to cook” meals 🙃

[@inagadda1976]

I was thinking the same thing lol

[@heikesiegl2640]

Really? Its just: Cut it, season it, put it in a pan or bowl.

[@Alirari]

Same 😂

[@climatechangedoesntbargain9140]

100%

[@thegoldenzipper]

@@heikesiegl2640I’m only on the first recipe and she’s chopped, grated and used a pot and pan to cook the filling and rice. That’s quite a bit of cooking in my opinion.

[@Matt-oq8li]

Honestly, this is one of the most realistic meal videos for me. I love all these meals and I make them (in some variation) all the time because they're easy and minimal cooking, but still good!

[@princessinvidia]

My family gave eight thumbs up to the egg roll in a bowl and asked me to put it on regular rotation, so thank you so much for the recipe. :-)

[@nez1971]

I'm going to try the egg roll bowl but with lentils as the protein. ❤

[@arj-peace]

I love how these are "lazy day" meals for you but for me would be "putting in effort" meals 😂 I do appreciate the simplicity, cost consciousness, and straightforward instructions. Thanks for these great ideas! xo

[@luvkav9559]

Thank you for this Sarah so much… I’ve been struggling to make meals at home when I’m just so not in the mood to cook and do dishes especially

[@VeganonaBudget]

Hey there! Loving your video on easy peasy healthy meals, especially the vegan goodness! 😄 Those lazy days hit us all, but your budget-friendly ideas got me inspired to whip up something tasty without the hassle. Keep those plant-based gems coming! 🌱🍴

[@lao6823]

Awsome ideas, Sarah! Whenever I am not in the mood of standing in front of the stove I let the oven do most of the work like in your last recipe 😅

[@lindsaytoussaint]

The egg roll in a bowl is honestly one of my fave meals at this point - on its own without rice when I want something light. Hella lazy version for me is: - bag of coleslaw mix - a burger thawed and mashed and/or whatever tvp/crumble I have on hand - soy sauce or liquid aminos - ginger garlic paste (my store sells a jar with both in one. Miracles do happen) - and a load of sriracha

[@vinbean5455]

I'm the opposite! I hate chopping veggies but I love mixing all the ingredients in a pot to see everything come together and the smells of the flavors lol. To chop veggies, I usually just throw them in a food processor and make like... veg slop. It sounds gross but I loooove it.

[@shetaz905]

Same! I hate chopping, so I toss veggies into my food processor. Or, I buy them chopped in bags.

[@maria_moonbeam]

That Egg Roll In A Bowl has me salivating!!! Will definitely be making this for dinner. Amazing recipes as always x

[@76alison]

egg roll in a bowl is DEF happening this week for me! Cheers from Canada.

[@kenyaralipscomb6615]

I’m definitely going to try that quinoa black bean mix ☺️

[@cathymclennan1702]

I lreally like your taste tests/vlogs with Eric, please do more!

[@aurelieleclerc4514]

I don't like to cook but after binging on your videos I tried the egg roll from this video and the butternut squash and carrot soup from another of your video. Not only I enjoyed cooking but both were very good 🙌🙌🙌

[@moonlightequilibrium]

I make a similar dish to the first one a lot! With beyond beef, and minus the carrots and scallions. It is sooo tasty 🤤

[@debsnowden4310]

These look amazing and my tummy is now growling wanting to eat them all!!

[@justinlepage5133]

Loved the video! I've made variations of these over the years and I love the way you made a lot of these. Looking forward to next weeks meal prep! What kind of cookware is that?

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Meals for days I can't be bothered to cook are actually what I need now so thanks Sarah for sharing this awesome video with yummy 😋 recipes. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Sarah & ❤ Eric.

[@marianamartinez3275]

Anyone know what temperature to cook veggies in the over for? And how long??

[@Pinupred21]

Everything looks delicious

[@lorraineogan9301]

Great ideas! I think I am going to make the egg roll in a bowl recipe!

[@Younggmetro]

I watch you for your personality so I dont watch food related videos but I'd love if you posted vlogs every now and again ♡

[@nicktheavatar_]

Great video Sarah! That southwestern quinoa bowl looks like it would solve all my life problems 😍🤤

[@BetaniaAllen]

Thank you so much for this video. The egg roll in a bowl recipe is amazing; super easy, uses cheap vegetables, super healthy. It is on permanent rotation in my home, this week we actually ate it three days. I make it with crumbled tofu (made into ground/mince) which is much more affordable where I live. Have added an extra vegetable if I need to use it up (asparagus, very small broccoli florets, red pepper strips). Have sometimes used a bit of a Thai or Chinese or Korean sauce (tom yum, black pepper sauce, gochuchang) as well. We eat it alone, as a big bowl of veggies, or sometimes with udon or spaghetti.

[@jenwylie4093]

Everything looks great! I especially want the egg role in a bowl!

[@jenifermartin739]

That was SO HELPFUL!

[@petrawhitmore4751]

I don’t know where to start! They all look amazing ❤

[@kimmiemamatomany6226]

If now we eat aqua faba, why do we rinse the chickpeas? Prior to aqua faba (the liquid that chickpeas are canned in) was rinsed because of the sodium content of the liquid. We were told to 'dump it' and then rinse the beans well. But if the sodium is still a concern, then why is aqua faba promoted as something we should now consume? Thanks for any insight to help me work through this, lol. 😂

[@allenhook3042]

Awesome, live watching vegan cooking.. Im nkt vegan but I never really liked meat much, and am trying to change my diet to more vegan/vegetarian options, just hatd for me to fund things that'd are tasty too me.. These gave me some great ideas ty.

[@joeyq9953]

These recipes are to die for. Think this is my all-time fave video.

[@debbiewalker4]

Those all look so amazing. I can’t wait to try them. Thank you for your amazing videos.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

You are so welcome!

[@MsBanks1993]

I’m making this thanks

[@vincenttavera]

I want to try the quinoa one. I had no idea that you could cook quinoa in a rice cooker. I need a recipe.

[@oumaimael3944]

Great vidéo ! Thank you Sarah

[@Yeahthatshowifeel]

All of the meals look delicious!

[@jennifersan]

so good. just solid recipes that seem like they'd store well too.

[@matthewwhittington-jk9ep]

Delicious vegan meals at home.

[@janty962]

Will try to make the first one today thx😊

[@mmccaskill55]

Because I am soooooo cheap, I seldom eat vegan hamburger. I use 1/2 bulgur and 1/2 TVP, soak in broth for 15 min. Meanwhile sauté an onion til it starts browning, add the bulgar/TVP mix and sauté until the liquid is absorbed. Do not cook till completely dry or the bulgar will harden. Use in any dish asking for 'vegan hamburger crumbles'. It's yummy and filling.

[@gooseberristic]

Thanks 4 the inspiration! I'm doing the first dish today! :)

[@juliamaiten]

thank you for this video, Sarah! this will come in super handy during busy weeks :) I will share what I make on my channel!

[@Osiwan960]

I love how calming & smooth your voice & presence are

[@debjohn4]

these recipes are great! Thanks so much Sarah.

[@raeganhaskins1156]

Hi Sarah I have some questions for you like I’m very interested in this ritual symbiotic vitamin but I’m wondering I don’t eat vegan I’ve been thinking about it but I don’t as of now but will these be beneficial to me even if I don’t eat vegan because I’m really interested in purchasing them and seeing how they work. And your comments because I didn’t catch the code I’ll try to play it back again but could you remind me in the comments what your code is for the symbiotic because I’ll use your code to please get back to me thank you

[@Kututwo]

I can't wait to try these! My partner and I love your recipes

[@sachamm]

3:48 is rinsing diced onions a thing?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It takes out some of the raw bite of the onion!

[@sachamm]

@@SarahsVeganKitchen I didn't know that, thank you!

[@edisongraff1411]

I am definitely going to try this

[@lcharest1021]

These look so good, can't wait to make all of them!

[@StrongAndRaw]

YUM...looks very delicious!

[@jocelynfoley6201]

Wow! I want to make all 3! So so yummy looking!

[@maetaylor5677]

your voice... and these recipes.. omg so relaxing and delicious all at the same time

[@carina7886]

Love this! Will you make a “simple/minimal ingredient” cookbook? Cough. Cough. Nudge. Nudge. 😊

[@Zar2244]

When i dont want to cook i roast a pile of veggies, lol. Your recipes are wonderful, cant wait to try them out. Big thankyou, i needed some new ideas. 😊 I don't mind cooking, its the clean up that sucks lol

[@mayito8531]

So good! Thanks

[@JonesLeFae]

I made a quinoa salad like that once to take with me when I was working in the field. Unfortunately,the onions or something went bad really quickly and it stunk up my hotel room really bad! Lucky that my roommate was smell blind! Lol 😂

[@mactan_sc]

i love doing the bag of cole slaw route, otherwise i end up having way more cabbage than i know how to use

[@ruxtbaquero7650]

Hey thx you so much delicious easy to prepare I’m new and you Chanel New vegan So glad 🥰 that I found you. Thx

[@heather593]

These look delicious although I’d say anything with that much chopping isn’t a don’t want to cook meal for me. Nevertheless definitely giving me summer meal inspiration!

[@NariSakhi]

Lovely video. Thank you for sharing

[@joeyurkovich3272]

A no cook meal for me: open a can of black beans--drain. Open a can of corn--drain. Dump into a big bowl. Add hot sauce and eat. Done

[@verdad1234]

Maillard effect/caramelization happens when veggies are single layered without touching. Otherwise, food steams, fwiw. The orzo dish looks yum. TQ for the recipe

[@sandrodellisanti1139]

Ciao Sarah and many greetings from Brunswick in Germany.. personally i live as a vegetarian again, since last friday 🙂 and thank you for your videos..i really like them.

[@natashajsworldovercomers266]

❤❤❤❤

[@AnnieLovesKillljoys]

The quinoa salad looks like it would also be such a good dip with tortilla chips for a snack!

[@sayurmayur5197]

im not a vegan, but that doesnt mean i dont love veggies. and your recipes will make me love them more. auto subscribe after watch the first recipe

[@DionWelsh-gt3cn]

Keep it up, Sarah!!! You rock!!!!!!

[@madinaholicc]

These recipes all look delicious (as always!) but I don't think they're a very good representation of "don't want to cook" meals as they do still involve a fair bit of prep. As someone who enjoys cooking and finds chopping meditative too, this wouldn't bother me, but usually when people don't want to cook, it means they really have no energy for chopping/stirring and just want to dump everything in a pan and walk away. Maybe a better description in future would be "hands-off" recipes or something similar?

[@andrew_schaeffer]

Why do you rinse the chopped onion?

[@swolsauce9923]

Trying to eat more veggies so this is perfect. I’m not vegan so I’ll just add meat to these recipies and I’m already knowin it’s gonna be good!

[@futuredr.7815]

Walnut meat is a great substitute for ground beef

[@moo422]

Great recipes but goodness, that is a lot of prep for someone not wanting to cook!

[@anja63030]

did you just rinse onions?

[@littlestB]

I've seen so many people rinsing their raw onions recently. Any specific reason you do this?

[@enemanozzle]

Every vegan and vegetarian should take at least every second day early in the morning on an empty stomach 1 tablespoon (= 15 ml) castor oil in order to prevent an intestinal blockage, for in the case that you will eat a lot of fruits or vegetables your large intestine will be really filled and you will remark this one occasionally unpleasant, this especially during the night. In this case it will be very helpfull to take your dosage castor oil in good time.
