We share an obsession for onion powder, great Marys think alike

[@marystestkitchen]

Yes we do!

I'm in the team!

[@marystestkitchen]

The more the mary-er! 😅

[@TheGramaLady]

I love Soy Curls! I like using a salad spinner to drain them.

[@marystestkitchen]

that is so smart!

[@Jon_From_Coventry]

I can't find curls anywhere in the UK. I have to make do with the chunks. I can order curls online but they're so expensive here.

[@TheGramaLady]

@@Jon_From_Coventry that stinks. Soy Curls are so much better in so many ways than TVP. What about Amazon?

[@arglebargle42]

Oh Mary the way you brought to life that keto avocado toast was beyond elegant! I mean you already had me at the roses but then you go and make it a delicious piece of art. I am always inspired and comforted by your channel, and thank you for sharing all of your cooking adventures with us!

[@marystestkitchen]

Aww thank you so much!

[@TaysaysDaisuki]

Yaaaaaas. I have put furikake on avocado toast ever since I studied abroad. A few stores like Trader Joe’s sell a premade vegan one called “nori-Komi” (“packed with seaweed”) 🙂

[@marystestkitchen]

*cries in Canadian*

it is a mistake to watch this at 9 pm... i must wait until tomorrow morning, lol.

[@marystestkitchen]

aww noo our timezones are flipped

[@MagisterialVoyager]

@@marystestkitchen Yep, LOL But you made such delectable foods so well done! 😂👌

[@VeggieRebelLeah]

Whole Foods has a sushi container w/ sliced avocadoes…Dragon Tail? Makes me appreciate the skill it takes to make something beautiful

[@marystestkitchen]

for sure!

[@silviamonz2062]

Brilliant! How did you know I was looking for this? Moved from vegan to vegan keto recently and now you dish out this? Perfection! 🤗Thanks a lot Would I order any of this in a café you ask ? All of it !

[@marystestkitchen]

yay! How perfect!

[@UniquelySustainable]

Thank you so much for these!!! Vegan keto recipes are always welcomed, so thankful for your channel.

[@marystestkitchen]

You are so welcome! :-) Thank you for watching!

[@caroczel]

Wow 🤤🤩 vegan and keto aren't words I've thought of as being a "thing" - these look delicious! Keep this up and I may no longer be an omnivore! ❤ Fabulous 😍

[@marystestkitchen]

Hope you enjoy!

[@guyraveh2712]

I'm doing intermittent fasting and I really have to stop watching your videos while fasting. That noodle bowl looks so delicious!

[@marystestkitchen]

haha fair enough!

[@teagoldleaf4137]

Love this video, cant wait to try these recipes. I've recently come down with horrible joint pain, and based on past experiences, I know it's from all the highly processed foods, sugar, and so much gluten. It is time to clean it up, which is easy when one's goal is to reduce debilitating pain. Thanks again, Mary, for making it easier ❤

[@marystestkitchen]

You're welcome! I hope you feel better soon!

[@Rmmtube-b1c]

Just finished the mozzarella buffalo "chicken's salad, so good! Glad to know I'm not the only one who buys the 12lb box 😂

[@marystestkitchen]

There's just something so secure and cozy about having that 12 lb box haha

[@bluewren65]

Ughh, how I miss soy (allergy) and gluten (also allergy). If I become allergic to nuts I may as well just call it quits on this earth. These are great recipes and I should be able to adapt them using your amazing pumpkin seed tofu and my own personal soy sauce hack.

[@marystestkitchen]

you can do it!!

[@varsharao86]

I love love love loooooooove the onion powder and garlic powder from the brand frontier co-op. Which you get at whole foods. Its just so fine. My good lord. I am forever buying it from there ❤😊

[@marystestkitchen]

Good to know!

[@Elisabet.Brandt]

I love to take soy curls, and after their rehydrated, toss them with Sriracha, nutritional yeast, and coconut amino! Then I sear them in avocado oil! They’re delicious!

[@marystestkitchen]

yum! That sounds just perfect :-)

[@tamiauger2766]

Looks amazing

[@marystestkitchen]

thanks! not every meal has to be so pretty but it does make a difference ;-)

Thanks for the inspiration. (and making me hungry 😉)

[@marystestkitchen]

My pleasure 😊

[@ablacksquare]

Omg these dishes look so tasty and easy to prepare.

[@marystestkitchen]

thank you! They really are :-)

[@lindapb6529]

All look great, but I’d like the tofu puffs, please ☺ Will you post which shirataki noodles you used Here? They look really good 👍🏼 thanks!

[@marystestkitchen]

I believe the brand is livia

I've been looking for great vegan keto recipes! I try and stay oil free! I hope you do more videos like this❤😊

[@marystestkitchen]

Hope you enjoy!

[@autumn_ghosts_]

@@marystestkitchen I know I will! This is wonderful 😉

[@lincoln7554]

I did the fried cauliflower rice, with some other vegetables and a meat substitute a little bit different (in france we dont have so many options). Very good recipe.

[@marystestkitchen]

Thanks for sharing!

[@dibamoca9885]

Looks so delicious 😋

[@marystestkitchen]

Thank you 😋

[@munajedski]

Soy curls are so so good! I like them in stirfry, or curry.

[@marystestkitchen]

Me too!!

[@veg-hb3kt]

I can't wait to try everyone of these recipes! Where did you buy a 12 lb box of soy curls?

[@marystestkitchen]

Vegan supply.ca

@@marystestkitchen Thank you Mary.

[@mastiffpeople4868]

I ain't got time to make them roses....but recipe is awesome

[@marystestkitchen]

haha fair!

[@anniehosking2408]

I make a mixture that was inspired by recipes for furikake. I toast sesame seeds and kalonji seeds. I mix them with Aleppo pepper and seaweed flakes. Definitely not authentic but it is great on all sorts of dishes.

[@marystestkitchen]

Sounds great!

[@sachamm]

Love Bo Kong -- and Po Kong across the street is also good.

[@marystestkitchen]

It's so funny how they are almost the same but so close. Like they are trying to be starbucks or something ;-)

[@IAmSherry12]

I would love to know the recipes for the other soy curl salads you mentioned. I just received my 1st bag ever of soy curls from amazon yesterday. And I'm brand new to eating vegan so the more recipes the better.. I am gluten free low carb

[@marystestkitchen]

Good idea! I will work on typing all those up and make sure there are gluten-free substitutions included. Thanks for the reminder :-)

[@Bourn2Play_NHCoffeeTalk]

Hey there, but I just watched Heavenly Fan after your suggestion; I will still love you after her EXCELLENT Videos…. ANYWAY, can you add vegetables after your soy/beans/peanuts and pressing it overnight?

[@marystestkitchen]

Yes! Stay tuned for the video ;-)

[@theresaromeo5484]

I tried the tofu n avocado toast n I'm hooked. It's beyond just good. I think you said before carbs make you hurt physically well me to. I feel better when I'm low carb. WHY? Does anyone know..

[@marystestkitchen]

yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it as well. If you feel better on low carb that's great! There's tons of science out there explaining why low carb and keto make some people feel better but I think it's just so different from person to person that I would never try to guess your situation.

[@tamiauger2766]

Yum!!!

[@marystestkitchen]

thank you!

[@OverCowboy]

Hi Mary! Please do a video on dried/smoked tofu! I've tried to dry up some firm tofu slices and it really starts to develop character similar to salo, but I'm afraid of food poisoning and such. Need yor guidance

[@marystestkitchen]

It's a good idea! However, I'm not doing any fermentation at the moment as my sense of smell is still high unreliable after covid

[@OverCowboy]

@@marystestkitchen I see. Thanks! Hope you recover and all

[@mastiffpeople4868]

I would do the Everything bagel seasoning in that tofu

[@marystestkitchen]

sometimes I do that too :)

[@sul5707]

Hi Mary, Where did you get the soy curls in Canada?

[@marystestkitchen]

I order them online from Vegan Supply

[@mackenziewitman2432]

Hi Mary, i was wondering, how many carbs do you try to stay under per day?

[@marystestkitchen]

These days I don't track. But generally 50-60g net carbs from non-starchy vegetables and tofu. For some reason, if it's from non starchy veg, somewhat higher carb counts don't kick me out of ketosis. If there is any starchy vegetables or grains in the mix, I have to be careful to keep it lower than that.

[@mackenziewitman2432]

​@@marystestkitchenthank you for the answer! I have an autoimmune disorder and I'm wondering if I'd have relief from some of the symptoms like you do with staying low carb.

[@marystestkitchen]

I hope you find your answer! Good luck 🤞

[@cheskydivision]

A link to a 12 pound box of soy curls would be nice. ❤❤❤

[@marystestkitchen]

I order them online from vegansupply.ca I think if you are in the US, it's much cheaper to get them direct from Butler's (the producers of soy curls)

[@Eco_Hiko]

I doubt I'd have the patience to make avocado roses especially if it got stuck. I'd end up just smashing it. 😅

[@marystestkitchen]

fair!! haha like I said in the video, I usually just mash it as well :-)

[@ivythay4259]

sichuan is underappreciated, so thank you for its inclusion here.

[@marystestkitchen]

you're very welcome :-) thanks for watching!

[@rutgers182]

i need to drown my avocado in lots of lemon. i think your onion powder is what replaces it though. i dont add that usually.

[@marystestkitchen]

please try the onion! It really makes such a difference :-)

[@rutgers182]

@@marystestkitchen i will :)

[@maryannmarshall6294]

Hi Mary.

[@marystestkitchen]

hello Mary Ann!

[@mailill]

So to do vegan keto (or actually this is more low carb than strict keto, I think?), you have to eat a lot of soy tofu? Because almost all other protein sources are too high carb? For me both tofu and avokado - and also tomatoes - give me a histamin reaction and a horrible rash if I eat more than just a little. I am kind of envious on people who can actually live well on this kind of diet. I for sure can't.

[@marystestkitchen]

This is keto in the sense that the carb count is low enough to keep me (and other fat-adapted vegan keto'ers) in ketosis. I do eat a lot of soy tofu. But I also make tofu out of other legumes/seeds/nuts too. That's how the "will it tofu" series started on this channel. Don't be envious. I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to! lol

[@mailill]

@@marystestkitchen Thank you for responding! I love the "will it tofu"-series!

[@marystestkitchen]

Then stay tuned! I am working on a couple new episodes of will it tofu! 😁

[@felixcat9455]

I got sick from those soy curls. They do have an expiration date and they can go rancid so eat them up sooner rather than later

[@marystestkitchen]

Oh no! I was warned that they can go rancid more easily than tvp so I keep them in the fridge always.

[@barefacedquestions]

I was wondering why I had never had the Korean fire noodle, but it turned out I've seen it everywhere. I just assume it is not vegetarian, so I didn't look further. But I've discovered that many "meat" instant noodles where I live are accidentally vegan!

[@marystestkitchen]

How lucky!

[@Bmonkeygurl]

I am a non vegan and I have tried to incorporate more plant based meals, but I find I don't feel satisfied and get hungry pretty quickly. How do you feel satiated?

[@marystestkitchen]

Eat more protein. Like way more than you think you should.

[@barefacedquestions]

Second what Mary said, and I'd like to add that protein doesn't have to come from the main dish only. As an Asian, I'm used to having multiple-dish meals. I've discovered that by sneaking proteins in side dishes, salad and soup, I feel fuller for longer.

[@Bmonkeygurl]

@@barefacedquestions that is a good idea. I find I can get bored of just one large amount of any one thing. 😄

[@barefacedquestions]

@@Bmonkeygurl Same here. In case you didn't know, Japanse, Korean, Chinese and Vietnamese cuisins all follow three to four dishes and one soup. I have a plant-based cookbook for each cuisine 😃

[@Bmonkeygurl]

@@barefacedquestions I actually didn't know the specifics, just that there were many dishes. That is interesting. I will have to look at some cookbooks.

[@krzysbass]

Question here🙋‍♂️ Shouldn't you eat more fats as you are on keto ?

[@marystestkitchen]

It depends on why you're doing keto. For medical keto diets, it's essential to have a specific fat/protein/carb ratio. For people who are not fat adapted yet, it's usually helpful to have more fat for satiety. And for those who don't have enough body fat, more fat is also helpful so they don't experience unwanted weight loss. For me, who has enough body fat, I don't need to add more fat. It's more about keeping net carbs down so I can stay in ketosis which helps to keep my tendonitis away.

[@krzysbass]

@@marystestkitchen thank you for your response 🥰

[@marystestkitchen]

@@krzysbass thanks for asking! I think there's a lot of confusion about vegan keto

[@krzysbass]

@@marystestkitchen probably because is rare. I have an impression that some people started to be keto (or on a carnivore ) as a opposition to veganism .

[@marystestkitchen]

@@krzysbass definitely seems to be case sometimes 😭
