Speaking of hot dogs, I made the most amazing carrot corn dogs. I boiled some carrots, pricked them lightly with a fork all over, and marinated them for 3 whole days. Marinade was coconut aminos, soy sauce, Worcestershire, liquid smoke, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic and onion powder, mustard powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, salt, pepper. My batter was homemade using gluten free Bob's red mill baking flour with the blue label and also Bob's cornmeal. We dipped them in homemade garlic aioli. They were AMAZING!!!!!👌

If I don't have corn starch, I use breadcrumbs and some semolina. To make a sauce: I blend a roasted tomato, some salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, grinded oregano or basil or both and a little bit of oil and I heat the sauce in a pan to get rid of the excess water in the tomato and it's... mmmmmmmhh...

How so? Preparing something other than meat and then calling it meat is, literally, just lying through your teeth. Why do vegans keep trying to make everything look and taste like meat? If it is so bad, stop trying to imitate it. If vegetables could be made to taste exactly like meats, then there would be no more meat since vegetables are much cheaper to produce. People buy and consume meats because they are delicious and vegetables being lied about and called meat are NOT. That's why vegans have to try and trick people into eating that way.

Ok so I made this recipe hours after the video came out. Here are a couple things I noticed. 1. It tasted really good! I was skeptical about the cocoa powder but I think it added that depth to taste more meat-like. 2. I don't have any marmite, soy sauce, or bouillon cube. I just roasted the carrots with oil. And I added dark miso to replace the marmite. 3. My mixture was bright orange throughout the entire stovetop cooking process. I wonder if the marmite would've made that difference. 4. I had to let my mixture "burn" a little so I could get the color to change. Then i would stir it up and let it "burn" again. I repeated this until the color was close to what he had. Albeit, I could still see the Orange bits. 4. Roasting the carrots was the longest part. But otherwise the process was a quick a cooking up some ground beef.

That’s awesome! I love this breakdown! The marmite for sure adds an extra level of browning. Cocoa powder is pretty fun to mess with when making mock meats. With beef flavors it really adds a level of depth and richness. Miso was a really good idea! Thanks again!!

Fun fact: Taco Bell puts cocoa powder in everything

[@victoriabaker4400]

The Mexican meat dish "mole" (pronounced MOH-lay) uses chocolate to produce the rich flavor and it tastes NOTHING like chocolate. When he pulled out the cocoa powder I was impressed.

My meat sauce game started getting real good when i began upping the mirepoix content. I make sure to especially add extra carrots. The bit of sweetness really adds to an otherwise all savory dish. Some of the best meat sauces I've made were only like 20-80 meat to mirepoix. As it happens, meat is actually only needed as a flavoring for meat sauce (for meat eaters that is) and the vegetables are what carry it.

[@IAmEverythang]

Damn that sounds good

[@lat1419]

Yes, minced carrot, celery, and onion sauted is called a mirepois (excuse spelling?) base for many classic dishes

[@seandrexter5946]

I’m not a vegan, but your videos inspire me to try new creative directions with vegetables as meat substitutes. I think the taste tests are great as it gives me some comparison to what I think it might be like and the real thing. Keep up the awesome work. Love it all.

[@setharmstrong3502]

Just came across this chaannel the other day and very much enjoy the content. It's really cool the way you transform basic ingredients into something completely different. Especially as more and more people today have a plant-based diet, this is exactly the type of instructional cooking that could come in very handy to a lot of folks. I will definitely be spreading these videos around. Can't wait to try this one at home!

[@PaulLoh]

I love the addition of the taste test. I've been a fan of yours since before you regularly had her come and taste your creations. Back when you usually ended with a blurry close-up while exclaiming, "I mean, look at this!" Honestly, I could die happy when you do that. The taste test gives us a realistic expectation as to what to expect when we try out your recipes. My wife and I run a cooking show here called Klutzy Kitchen, and it was in part inspired by your channel. Please continue your taste tests, because they are immensely helpful.

TVP used to be thought to be an OK product but if you research it it is terribly unhealthy for you. In my opinion, it's garbage food and should never be eaten. It is a processed bad food.
