MAKE AMAZING BUDDHA BOWLS 🥙 STEP BY STEP!

[@JulieOParkCity]

It’s best to steam tempeh for 15 minutes before you marinate it. Steaming takes the bitterness out.

[@Crystal-An80]

Steaming or boiling? I’ve heard both

[@iluvmoshing5216]

Omg. I have to say, that “tempeh is the best” piano song is maybe the silliest thing I’ve seen you do. No shame. I love it.

[@mikeskylark1594]

Tempeh + hummus = BOMB

[@geraldinerobertson4033]

Lll

[@carrieonline8227]

The other key to these Buddha bowls is to layer the sauce - I like put some sauce over the quinoa then stack the veggies, then more sauce. This way you don't use up all the sauce on those top veggies, and it makes it all taste so good!

[@haroldmajor6834]

Ya we luv it😊

[@flow4458]

I know this is off-topic, but I wish people were more honest about stuff like that, so I'm just gonna say it: You are such a down-to-earth person and even though I really enjoy your recipes and vlogs and stuff and I always recreate your ideas, the main reason why I'm here, is your personality. You seem like the most humble humanbeing and I wanna tell you how much impact you have on me. I have a non-existent mental health and whenever I see your face and you talk about grains or tempeh or mountainbiking or whatever, the world seems to be so f*cking beautiful and I forget all the negative stuff. I deeply appreciate you for that and I hope that you continue to shine for whoever deserves it. Thank you.

[@Ardistan667]

I’m completely with you. These videos have therapeutical value to me. I also struggle with mental wellbeing sometimes. Finding healthy recipes to replicate is part of my attempts to cope and then watching Derek’s videos in and for itself goes a long way.

Eating a Mexican inspired bowl while watching this! Caramelized onions, mushrooms, garlic, tofu cubes, black beans, and cubed crispy potatoes topped with guac and a sauce made from garlic hummus, chili lime hot sauce, a scoop of homemade salsa, nutritional yeast, and a can of diced tomatoes all mixed together. Highly recommend! Love your guys’ videos! They are my favorite thing to watch during a meal if I’m eating on my own. You always bring inspiration and laughter! Thank you both!

[@BBSRFC]

"Grain, Bean, Green, Sauce!" - That's a motto I can get down with! Good rule of thumb to keep in mind for meals.

[@FitnessYogawithSarah]

Never stop making Buddha bowl videos. You are changing the world.

[@ellentevault6244]

I love how you’re a goof ball at times. So down to earth

[@FrankiePwnd]

Looks amazing! I usually add rice, quinoa, black beans, roasted sweet potato, red pepper and red onion with smoked paprika, sweetcorn, avocado, spinach then topped with sesame seeds, sweet chilli sauce and nutritional yeast. Yum!

[@ambienmom9972]

I honestly couldn't do this lifestyle without you. Such a big help!

its unnatural, thats why you couldnt do it, unless someone is brainwashing you to do this, youd never ever do something so stupid

LOVE LOVE your video's. You are literally teaching me how to cook Vegan after 40 years of not cooking and eating healthy. I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes over 30 years ago. In March 2022 my new Endocrinologist explained to me in a scientific dissertation about how my body absorbs, (or doesn't) nutrition on a cellular level. Long story, but learning how to, and sticking to cooking Vegan, I lost 40 lbs in 3 and 1/2 months and have reduced, or have quit taking all medication. Anyhow, THANK YOU for helping me learn to cook all over again!!

[@lukesplanet]

I can tell everyone to really study these videos on this channel. People usually don’t stick to Whole Food Plant Base foods because lack of flavor. A little prepping goes a long ways. Which is usually why people like plant base foods when they go to a restaurant but get bored with it at home. Keep spreading the good health guys!

[@janerainbow22]

My son, who is now 27, was virtually weaned on houmous and was a very fussy but healthy eater, and for years Waitrose, Sainsburys or Tesco was his staple. In the early days I tried to make my own houmous but bitter tahini was a major issue. I think the thing I've discovered is that the bitterness is often associated with rancidity. Sesame seeds don't age well, so a source with a high turn over of product can be as important as the make. As tahini has become more popular I've found it easier to get tahini with those smooth nutty tones and now there is a whoe range and variety of delicious tahinis.

[@suzanne7225]

That is a work of art. Buddha bowls are one of my meat eating husbands favorite foods. He doesn't miss the meat when he eats them.

Eating my awesome salad with romaine, cukes, olives, corn peppers, onions, walnuts,😊 raisins while i'm watching🥗🥗🥗🥗

[@lisakukla459]

Tahini is super easy to make yourself. Just toast a bunch of sesame seeds in a skillet (carefully), then grind them up in the blender. Can add some sesame oil to get the right consistency. Add some salt and lemon juice and that's it. To me it tastes kinda like peanut butter, but less peanutty. I usually buy a pound of sesame seeds at a time and make it all at once. It'll keep in the fridge for a pretty long time, and keeping it plain like that means it can be used for hummus and all kinds of other things.

[@veganpajamas4211]

double dipping here, when you showed the complete bowl i gave my”satisfying” laugh ever since i was a kid the one think i randomly laughed at was when i know a plate is delicious😃

[@pianopegj2139]

Hey, Derek! Had to shout with surprise and joy when you demonstrated your finger-knuckle method of measuring water and grains! I’ve been doing that for years but use my thumb knuckle/wrinkles…..I call it my “rule of thumb” measurement hack! Three wrinkles determine amount of water if I want drier, regular or wetter/stickier grains. Nice to meet a fellow lazy cook! Keep up the good work and playing your tempeh piano!

I am trying this one today! Thanks so much Derick! Love your videos!!! I have been trying to eat at least two vegetarian meals a week and have noticed that I have more energy on those days and can think much quicker and I want to encourage my husband to eat healthier too. We both need it. We are in our late 50’s and I see so much decline in family, friends, and ourselves and need to turn our lives around. So, as we enter retirement, we can show up and be our best in the world, and continue to be productive and enjoy life for the next 100 years! KUDOS MY FRIEND

I do a 1(quinoa) to 1.5 (liquid) ratio and it always turns out perfect. I also saute my quinoa in a splash of olive oil and spices before I add the liquid, too. I know a lot of people are oil free, so it's not for everyone, but I enjoy it.
