Vegan Mystery Box Cooking Challenge!

[@laseysimon7633]

I vote yes to more videos like these! Always hard to go thru all my food without throwing/wasting some of it away...these types of vids are awesome for ideas on using up what you have instead of throwing stuff out. Super helpful imo! 😁🙌🏼

[@camillebennett7614]

Depending on what you did, fried pickles could have been good! The oat milk would be a good wet ingredient

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Great idea!

[@rebeccag7251]

That was my first thought too.

[@emilyelkins8982]

Same!

[@_bewitchedbyyaz]

Good idea ! If it was the actual show chopped they’d be picky that the ingredient wasn’t transformed enough because it wad place onto the sandwich lol

[@makenzirutherford3620]

That’s what I was thinking. Fried pickles with some kind of maple buffalo sauce for dipping

[@Fantastic_cam]

Yes! Do another one of these videos! It really helped inspire me to think of what I can make with what I already have, instead of going out and buying new ingredients.

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Here is a rough recipe for the vegan breakfast sausage patties :) A little different from the video but this would work best based on my experience! Should we put these up on the blog? 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water) 1/2 lb. beyond meat vegan ground beef (or burgers) 3 tablespoons Italian or plain breadcrumbs (just be sure they are vegan) 1 tablespoon maple syrup 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 tablespoon fresh dried thyme 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon red pepper 2 tsp fennel seed 1. In a small bowl, mix together the flaxseed meal and water. Set aside for 10 minutes to thicken. 2. In a large bowl, add in the vegan beef, breadcrumbs, maple syrup, garlic, onion powder, thyme, salt, black pepper, paprika, red pepper and fennel seed. Add in the flax egg and use hands to mix until just combined. 3. Divide the vegan beef mixture into two and form into patties on top of 2 pieces of parchment paper. The parchment will help you pick up the patties. If possible, use a round mold to get the best shape. If the patties are having a hard time staying together, place on wax paper in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before cooking. 4. Set a medium to large pan over medium heat. Once heated, add in the patties, making sure they aren't touching, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.

hope you'll switch places next time! chris doing the cooking

[@bean3537]

It would be so fun to see you guys create mystery boxes for each other and go head to head in a challenge

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Excellent video and it would be a great idea for Jasmine to do a similar video with Chris having to cook from ingredients selected by Jasmine.

[@kelleyfrye8909]

I think Chris purposely gave you pickles so you'd make a sandwich.

[@ConsciousChris]

Kelley Frye hahaha busted 😂😂😂

[@rn2787]

You could do a fried tofu sandwich with homemade bbq sauce and pickles.

[@loveanddreambig]

This is what I was thinking! Some kind of bbq sandwich and the oat milk and pickles made me think of maybe some kind of coleslaw-esque condiment.

[@MyCountryFavorites1]

I was thinking fried pickles with maple mustard or a riff on monte Cristo sandwich. Great video

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

YUMMMM

[@natalieciarricco7295]

i LOLed when you said “sometimes we have a hard time using up thyme” 😂😂

[@samanthalxh]

i was actually thinking of making vegan french toast as the bread for the sandwich haha

[@Mikaylarasmussen]

samantha aldaine I was thinking the same thing!!!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

samantha aldaine omg 😍

[@jorgethecoach]

This was super fun/cool to watch! Glad it all came thru in the end :) Cheers 🤙🏼

[@awkwardvegansocialbutterfl5686]

I think you should totally do one where Chris does the cooking I think it'd be funny to see what he comes up with.

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Vegan Siren Aryn 😂😂😂

[@natalieciarricco7295]

this was such a fun and different video!!! (reminds me of your old chopped challenge vids!) would love to see more like this from you guys!! also my fingers are crossed that hopefully you two will upload some back to school related videos like easy breakfasts and lunches🥰🥰

[@carleygreen702]

Or deep fried sausage breakfast corn dogs with deep fried pickles stacked on a stick !

[@shagoorat]

That looked like a fun challenge to do! Great video!

[@tyasha.d]

must say unplanned looks better ;) much more natural. you did great :)

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Tjaša Drevenšek thank you :)

[@Ms.Histrology]

The only thing you were missing was a good tangy drizzle of hot sauce on the bun 👌 loved this style of video because it was more realistic and you were coming up on problems and had to solve them on the fly

[@jumpingturnip]

I immediatly thought of smoky tempeh bc of the liquid smoke and maple syrup 😩❤

[@ashlynlawrence8752]

Beyond burger with barbecue sauce made from the liquid smoke and maple syrup topped with a fried pickle using the oat milk to batter!

[@emilybush8457]

The Spongebob clips got me

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Emily Bush hahah I’m glad because I (Jasmine) was so excitedcfor them while editing lol

[@heidimarchi9850]

the mom in me is screaming when she leaves the fridge and freezer OPEN for SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[@JordanVegBike]

I love this idea and it looks like the sandwiches turned out fairly well!

[@veggietboy5624]

Yea I instantly thought of fried pickles with some sort of dipping smokey sauce

[@breannabryant9351]

My first initial thought was to make bbq with the maple syrup and liquid smoke! Then put pickles on top of it! And with the oat milk, make like a side of mac n cheese!

[@simplelife5578]

Yes have Chris do one too

[@NicAngels16]

I don’t know how to make it a complete meal, but I’d do the syrup and liquid smoke to make a tofu bacon, then use the milk to make fried pickles... so maybe a fancy blt?

[@landatarleton6250]

I was thinking you could do a burger with glaze on top with a side of dill fried pickles.

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Landa Tarleton YUMMMqq

[@TheDiscountVegan]

That looks seriously delish. Try freezing the burg before cooking it. It will hold together better.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

I feel like he could have added some harder ingredients LOL. For the pickles, you could have made a marinade for meat with it (it's Chickfila's not so secret marinade ingredient)

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Make It Dairy Free oh interesting!!

[@jaredm9999]

For future challenges, I think it'd be good to make sure to have a focus on all the ingredients. I feel like the oat milk was effectively unused since it wouldn't be something you can taste as part of a vegan egg. Anyway, I enjoyed the video and if you couldn't make pancakes or something else with the oat milk for bread, I'd be at a loss myself!

[@dahliaevergreen]

Youre amazing!!! Now im going to binge chopped

[@TrueBrytt]

A smokey maple tempeh or tofu sandwich with a cabbage carrot (apple?) slaw using the milk and pickle juice, maybe some chopped pickles.

[@PolkaDotInPurple]

this video makes me really want to make an amazing vegan burger rn, but i just got my wisdom teeth out yesterday

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Oh no! Well, soon!! :)

[@heathenTovea]

Smokey maple deep fried pickles !!!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Barbie Mithun 😍😍😍

[@NoraMarie13]

I would have done a beef brisket- Philadelphia cheesesteak style with a pickle topping! Maybe a seitan that used the oat milk, maple, and liquid smoke and caramelize it. Then add a pickle topping maybe with some vegan cheese on a hot dog bun

[@angeltxr.o7199]

i would've done a fettuccine pasta with the oat milk and chopped pickles. I would've cut some sausages for the maple and liquid smoke to put in the pasta

[@homemademama5459]

I would have used the oat milk to make a batter with chickpea flour and made french toast for the buns and I would have taken the pickles and chopped them up real fine and mixed them up with the avocado and a little bit of nooch and seasonings. But I like the idea of the beyond burger as the sausage patty.

[@MakeItDairyFree]

That's a great idea!

[@alexispraynor]

Friend pickles with a maple chipotle sauce!!! First thought for me

[@skyemarler4331]

I miss these!

[@carleygreen702]

Pickle ice cream with a maple glaze!

[@Carobcherub]

I definitely think breakfast flavor profile was the way to go, but instead of the idea of a cheese sauce with the oat milk I would have thought of using the milk in a breading.

[@potridge]

Can you please put a link to where to find some of the more “exotic” ingredients, like the “eggs and bacon” that you used? I thought I was vegan savvy, but you guys seem to find stuff that I’ve never come across in my daily cooking. I love this cooking challenge idea. Keep up the great content, love you guys!

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Yes! I just added them to the description but I will but them here too :) So glad that you enjoyed this! Be Leaf Vegan Egg: store.veganessentials.com/vegan-fried-eggs-by-be-leaf-foods-p5652.aspx Be Leaf Vegan Bacon: store.veganessentials.com/vegan-bacon-strips-by-be-leaf-foods-p5651.aspx

[@MakeItDairyFree]

LOL glad you asked because I was like whattttt issss thatttt when she pulled out the eggs

[@lanii5267]

Chris needs to do a Chop Challenge!

[@itsdanielleryan]

Smashed chickpea salad with the oat milk and pickles!

[@KirstenNaturally]

Hahahahaha Jasmine at 3:44 😂😂😂😂

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Kirsten Naturally 😂😂😂

[@arthrodea]

My first thought was to veganize Dill Pickle Soup! Its basically a creamy potato soup with dill pickles added in. That would take care of the milk and pickles. Then top with some sort of smokey maple glazed "sausage". This is a nonvegan recipe for it: noblepig.com/2013/03/dill-pickle-soup/

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

arthrodea oh wow that sounds so interesting!!

[@arthrodea]

@@Sweetsimplevegan Its really good! (of course, I do love pickles!) If you want to try it though, make a basic potato soup separately. Then try taking a small bowl of it and add in a few chopped pickles and a drizzle of pickle juice and some fresh chopped dill. If you hate it, at least you can still eat the potato soup!

[@tylers1395]

That's the first time I've heard any vegan say oh crap when they remember they have beyond burgers lol Edit: can you please make a video for the banana bread when you make it?

[@CottonCandySky6]

I was thinking like a bbq/maple smoked “meat” sandwich with pickles and a side of mashed potatoes (that includes the milk) if you had the ingredients of course

[@chandleranglin2404]

She’s feeling kinda sassy today isn’t she. Two f bombs right off the rip 😂 love it

[@MakeItDairyFree]

lol i laughed so hard

[@catherinemackay9143]

i was thinking bbq pulled jackfruit sandwich! not too sure about the oat milk though...

[@cmfussell]

I was thinking instead of chipotle mayo for the sauce, use the pickles and make vegan Thousand Island Dressing!

[@maryellenabicht2148]

Could you tell me what brand of non stick pan you used in the video and where to purchase?

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

It is called Masterclass and we got it at Home Goods :)

[@jadeking3022]

At around 10 mins in I think it's your fan going off, but I got the fright of my life thinking my computer was about to blow up O_O. I probably would have made some sort of pork replacement with the liquid smoke and stuff (prob mushroom or jackfruit), used the oat milk to make a cheesy white sauce, and then make a sandwich with pickles. That breakfast burger looks amaaaazing tho so you'd win anyway 😂

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

HAHAH

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Me vs. Me! hahah (Jasmine lol)

[@MakeItDairyFree]

LOL!

[@charlenestraw.]

my first thought was a maple fried chickn sandwich with pickles

[@laurens.6040]

Fried pickles!!!

[@daniellebarker7667]

Great job. It's hard to look at random stuff and pull a recipe out of it.

[@awkwardvegansocialbutterfl5686]

The commercial it showed me as you're making the patties was Jimmy Dean's breakfast sandwiches 😣😂

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Vegan Siren Aryn ughhhhh ahha

[@toyak437]

Food turned out great. Probably could of fried the pickles

[@kristeniszler]

So im watching this a year after it was filmed. I was thinking french toast with bacon.

[@littlepatrinka7941]

I thought you were going to chop the pickles to add to the chipotle mayo for a ‘special sauce’

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

Little Patrinka that would have been yummy!!!

[@Emily-pg5oe]

Cool vegan eggs

[@vintagelaidbackhippie465]

dill pickle soup

[@platoschauvet]

Jasmine is too fine, I swear. My idea probably would have been like jerk tacos mmm yes.

[@devyani29]

Very nicely done.. but wow, do you even pause to breathe? :) Maybe hold back a little and give Chris some talk time :D ;)

[@JasmineEasley]

You could have made Fried pickles

[@kendallshanks6962]

I love this video, but the sound of you mixing the beyond meet with your hands was so gross! Lol

[@SnowBunnie305]

Im sure her hands are clean. Besides its for them not for other people.

[@kendallshanks6962]

Stefany Zubizarreta mixing with her hands is fine! I do it too. I just meant the noise it made lol

[@SnowBunnie305]

Jajaa omg that's funny. Yea i guess so. Weird mushy noises like that creep me out. 😂😂😂😂 @kendallshanks

[@Sweetsimplevegan]

HAHAH I'm sorry! I tried to edit some of it out, it's the worst sound

[@SnowBunnie305]

No worries jasmine your doing great. A lil mushy sound is all good. Love u and chris and you guys are such a beautiful inspirational young vegan couple. #GOALS @SWEETSIMPLEVEGAN

[@minagee9949]

I've only watched two of your videos and both times Jasmine curses you're like "EASY" or "WOAH", chill out dude, let her curse.

[@loerkue]

Still waiting on a reply. T_T FeelsBadMan

[@jaycee157]

Good ideas but we could do without the off colour language.
