I tested Snacks from Different Countries for a Week (🇮🇳🇯🇵🇦🇷🇨🇭🇺🇸🇵🇪)

Get yourself a copy of my new cookbook “All Day Vegan” amzn.to/3OeTzGj out worldwide!
Today’s video is basically a What I Eat in a Week - Snack Edition. I challenged myself to test out a different snack each day, snacks inspired by traditional recipes from around the world! I made lazy gluten free samosas and daifuku mochi, made my own version of vegan bounty and alfajores, went to Switzerland, had some delicious snacks there, and then at some point I also made empanadas. It was a super fun and eventful week for sure! Hope you enjoy!

I think your friend meant “crumbly” instead of “dry” haha, the alfajores and empanadas looked so good!!! Seeing vegan Argentinian food makes me so happy :D

[@deborarodrigues1644]

You should try vegan version of a tipical portuguese food called feijoada, the vegan version is made with mushrooms.

[@deborarodrigues1644]

@@nanda-bq8wm aqui em Portugal também é típico mas acho que é diferente da do Brasil

[@03emi_]

feijoada é brasileira

As I learned from my Indian father I make samosas with potatoes and peas, seasoning them with basic curry spice, cumin, turmeric, ginger, garlic and onions If you are doing the dough yourself you can add whole cumin seeds, it makes it very tasty and it helps you to digest the food. I like to serve them with a greek youghurt and mint sauce.

[@sripradhaiyengar9980]

Apart from cumin seeds, you can also use omam or ajwain if you plan to use chickpea flour! It helps with digestion, as well as bloating.

[@natiszzz]

That folding you do to empanadas is called repulgue here in Argentina and let me tell you girl you nailed it. Many people try to get it right and fail horribly and end up using a fork so consider yourself a master of repulgue 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@madi972100]

That vegan wedding looks fantastic. Love the cashew seasoning too! Also the daifukumochi are insane! I love them!

[@nufflemuffin]

I would 100% recommend using a flour tortilla for the samosas! Crisps up nicely and still has that nice doughy-ness. But I definitely will try the rice paper next time I make them, because that looks amazing.

[@katief8100]

glad u made an argentinean recipe♡♡♡ ive been watching your videos for years now !! sending you love from Buenos Aires

Alfajores and empanadas are a very Argentinian snack, thank you for trying something from my country 😊❤️

When I saw the vegan bounties I immediately thought about syrok (curd cheese bar, творожный сырок). This is a sweet curd cheese covered in chocolate, sometimes with different fillings like jam, poppy seeds, boiled condensed milk or nuts. I loved it so much when I was a kid and I still crave them now. You should definitely try it! (I think there is a youtube video on how to make it with tofu)

[@Mina_Rome]

That sounds super interesting !

Those empenadas are only one example of the variety of tempting options here; many of the others are new to me. I'm happy you came up with an Argentine dish.✨ Heather Thrills

I live in Switzerland! It's so cool you got to go to a Coop. I really like the salty chickpeas you showed, including the green curry rice snacks.

Never heard of Alfajores before but I'm so excited to try them! Thank you Mina. :)

[@littlebirdblue4238]

These all look marvellous! All the best for the cookbook meetup, am sure it will go superbly :) as always, this video is super lovely and perfect to watch whilst cosy with a hot beverage. Definitely will need to try these out for revision snacks as study workload increases; good motivation. Thankyou! ❤💙💚

Bounty bars are British. The US equivalent are Almond Joy, same thing, just add an almond.

these recipes as always look soo good.. I'm definitely trying the samosa's.. so simple.. but they look delicious.. Also going to have to try that vanilla matcha..

Love the Little reference about which Film you went To See :D

[@veganminniemouse]

Ohh I recently had these vegan mochis by Yui too, they're so good! 🤤🍡 Now I want to try to make them myself too, thanks for sharing!

[@crystale1900]

My lazy vegan snack idea: blended oats or oat flour, almond milk, maple syrup, like, one teaspoon, frozen blueberries, so simple and yum! The blueberries cold, taste like cookie Dough bites 😛😋

[@tatianadavico15]

Did I, as an Argentinean check your video to see your empanadas dough??? Hahahaha I love your recipes! Thank you for making this magic and being innovative and creative :)

Interesting Mina! I have always been intimidated to go to restaurants alone. However going solo at the cinema is a favorite of mine 😃😅

[@mariafernandabustamante5790]

you should try a vegan version of chilean pastel de choclo, its a really good corn dish with ground beef that can be easily replaced with soy meet, mushrooms, seitan or a stir fry of vegetables!!

Yes! Alfajor from Peru 🎉❤

Bounty is definitely sold still in the UK. They were my favourite!!

[@freddy8846]

For the bounties it might also be nice to just mix coconut shreds with some kind of coconut nut butter, I know there are some good ones by Rapunzel /organic stores in Germany). I think they are often mixed with other nuts but they tastes very much like coconut. And maybe there is even a just coconut-nut butter. Just an idea. :)

[@okokok44]

Argentina!!!!! been watchimg you for such a long time, its great to see you make and enjoy alfajores. Although, alfajores are much more crumbly (dont know if thats how you say it lmao), it need to be dry, but those looked great 😩💞

[@Mina_Rome]

haha yeah that's what my friend said as well they gotta be dryyyy haha

[@marinagalindez5547]

@@Mina_Rome in your defense there are soooo many kinds of alfajores, the ones you made specifically resemble alfajores de maizena (maizena is a popular corn starch brand, so the texture is very dry and crumbly), but a lot of other kinds (marplatenses or cordobeses, for example) are more similar to what you made :)
