What I Ate // Vegan Longganisa, Crispy Tofu, Quinoa Salad

[@miiasaurous]

as a filipino who misses longganisa, this video saved my life.

[@sayuas4293]

If only it wasn't so complicated with so many ingredients...

[@cassiejohnson8417]

LONGGANISA!!! YAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! I'm filipino-american and never learned to cook any filipino dishes because I never had to (filipino food was always just miraculously ready for me when I got home--thanks lola). Now that I'm vegan I've been hoping one of the channels I subscribe to would create or replicate filipino dishes. THANK YOU SARAH!!! And I just got back from the PI with coconut vinegar yay!

[@gizemaltheimerph.d.9777]

Of all of the vegan channels I follow, yours has some of the most unique recipes! You always give me ideas on new things to try. That tofu dish looked absolutely scrumptious. And hey, random stranger on the internet browsing through the comments! I also make vegan recipe videos, and I'm super new to youtube, I would love your support as I grow my channel! :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you! I'll check your channel out fosho. ;)

[@gizemaltheimerph.d.9777]

Wow, thank you so much, Sarah! :D

[@MrsBestiaAzul]

I really loved how your family arranged the table for you to film the dishes. That's so so so so effing sweet.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha you're right.

[@debjohn4]

As always Sarah, thanks so much for sharing!!! Your videos always brighten my day!!

[@kathrynlandis6563]

I love the recipes you make! They are straightforward, nutritious, filling and actually taste good!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thanks so much!

[@kathrynlandis6563]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen also you should sing more, you have such a beautiful voice!!

[@kristioster8403]

I truly look forward to every video you post!! These all look so good!

[@Leecreates]

seriously in love with everything you make.

[@Clockworkcityofpain]

I love videos with more than one recipe because then I have many ideas for later. Everything looks delicious as usual 💖

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I'm glad you enjoyed the format!

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

I've made that quinoa salad before using couscous and lime juice instead of lemon for a potluck before...people devoured it. It is soooo good.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Couscous is awesome too. :)

[@SarahWarman80]

Everything looked awesome! I love Astig Vegan! I remember when she made that video, I was drooling over the garlic rice too!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

She's so amazing! Super creative.

[@janicewong7535]

This video was very well put together, not random at all (: thanks for sharing!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thanks! :)

[@DrWendy]

these recipes are brilliant. your videos are basically a dream come true

[@mariaetkind5040]

Just found your channel! Love it! I'm lactose free, but love your vegan recipes!!

[@laevans1986]

Love these 'random' videos, and it's so great to see your family embracing the vegan food

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It makes me so happy!

[@resa31802]

Completely enjoyed the randomness.

[@illwilld]

Nice. Love native foods. Gonna try that quinoa salad this weekend. :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Hope you love it! :D

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Wow the longganisa looks so interesting! I'd love to try it! Oh and the tofu also looks DELICIOUS!

[@YasminA-cr7lk]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I simply love them! I can't stop! Recipes look always delicious and you are so natural and have a sweet voice when explaining

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Me alegra saber eso!! So glad I can help motivate you. :)

[@leigh7569]

I don't know if you'll read this but you have by far one of my favorite vegan channels! I'm a vegetarian myself, and I often question myself if I ever should go vegan. I love how down to earth you present yourself, and although veganism is an important topic you don't "preach" it in a way that could be off-putting. As someone with social anxiety as well, your video on the topic was very moving. I could relate to a lot of what you said. Luckily I've been in therapy for ~4 years now so I've been able to get a lot of help. I would say social anxiety is still a struggle for me, but I've learned to manage it and live with it. It's always good to know I'm not alone. Thanks for producing such quality content! I'm so glad I found your channel (:

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you so much for the kindness. :) I definitely prefer to focus on positivity to spread the vegan message and I'm glad you like that approach! And I am so so glad the social anxiety video resonated with you. I feel the same -- it's still a part of my life, but completely manageable and it gets a little better as time goes on.

[@Snake-snek]

wow ! great idea , -i haven´t even heard of this before , will try! Thankss!I´m sure it´s yummy

[@skyev486]

early squad where you at!? like this so she knows where her squad is!

[@Murrshack]

Good stuff Sar. You make this all so accessible and less intimidating. Keep it up

[@erikaroldan4889]

Thank you for this video sarah!! Super excited to try the longganisa 😭😭

[@5weet2t]

Love that family time and enjoying great foods. Don't get awkward in front of your family. I'm an awkward person but I make a huge effort to practise not being awkward with my family. Most of the time they say I'm being crazy again, but in a funny way. 💙

[@Pinchofshay]

Trader Joe’s soyaki is a fave, also, I’m pesc, but soon to be vegan, and I love your channel! We used to have a native Foods in DC, but it closed, lost gem

[@michellem.8949]

omg thank u. i miss longanisa so much. cant wait to try

[@themaeflower5]

LOOKS SO TASTY!!! Every time I watch your videos I get so hungry and inspired

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

:)

[@Phresh2D3F]

just made the list for ingredients to buy to make the crispy tofu and quinoa salad. Can't wait to make and try these out! I'll for sure try to give you an update...that is if I don't burn down my kitchen haha

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha you got this!

[@kimsinspiredlife]

Thank you for showing ingredients all together before you start cooking. That helps me gather my thoughts. 😀 Great recipes.

[@aajjww]

As always - your recipes look delicious. Also... I love Native Foods!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It's just the best. Wish we had one where I live.

[@sunshinepinayquinones326]

All of that looks really good

[@LadyArtemis114]

Omg!!! I loved longganisa!!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@beepboop1748]

The quinoa recipe was my favorite

[@Woahhhitsmonica]

Will defiantly try these recipes thank you ! :D

[@mjaneml]

This is sooo good! Thanks for sharing 😍 I love the burnt, charred parts 😅

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

it's the best!

[@pobretraveler113]

ohhh I love that longganisa! ❤️

[@AM-dp9tv]

You've made being vegetarian so easyyyyy, bless you 😍💕

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

So glad I can help! :)

[@HeyLove006]

Wow.. looks delicious

[@christianadanakou2222]

I really love ur recipes!! It would help if you wrote the measurements in the description 💓💓love u

[@user-qd1by3kp6g]

i'm obsessed with your videos 😍❤😍

I really enjoy your videos Sarah, they are simple and go to the point hehe. And also all the recipes you share seems to be quick and easy to make. I'll modify the longaniza recipe, though, so I can use it in stews like the lentils with chorizo (a Spanish recipe I love :p), at least now I have an starting point hehe, thank you for the recipes!

[@pickledbeans]

I make the crispy tofu all the time after watching your video & my family (who normally wouldn't like tofu) LOVE the crispy tofu!!! :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Omg I'm so happy! And you can use literally any sauce, it's so versatile. :)

[@mitmat2140]

'Vegan longganisa' reminds me of a viral photo that says "Longganisa Vigan", a vegan bought it and later found out that it was made out of pork. The product came from VIGAN CITY, Philippines ...hence labeled as Longganisa Vigan. Heheh. Just wanna share the story,pls feature more pinoy favorites like kare-kare, lumpia and vegan sisig.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha I read that one! So sad. I will for sure try to make more dishes!

[@kay4541]

The quinoa salad was AMAZING. Thank you! ^-^

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I'm gad you liked it!

[@backyardbreeze112]

These look amazing! I'm trying to go vegan (dairy's an issue), so thank you for posting. I'm going to try the tofu. I bought one prepared similarly at Whole Foods years ago and loved it. I've tried to cook with it myself...and that didn't go so well. This video makes me want to try again.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

This way of preparing it is awesome!!! It's so crispy. :)

[@arj-peace]

Sarah, love your vids and energy. I'm allergic to quinoa--what would be better sub, rice or couscous? Thank you.

[@theimpossiblyholisticgirl5886]

You can add some vital wheat gluten to the longanisa to make it more firm :)

[@mariaelena997]

don't ever doubt making a video like this again. it was fun, well made and different! keep doing you :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you!

[@mariaelena997]

:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

[@dissertatinopossum]

Really great inspiration for recipes. I've been wanting to make pot stickers and I don't use mushrooms often but I like them or tofu as part of the filling. The dried mushrooms you rehydrated made me think to use those instead of fresh so I don't waste?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Dried mushrooms are great to have on hand! They're cheaper and store for a long time. And I think the texture/flavor is just as good as fresh when chopped up and used in a stuffing or mixture like this.

[@dissertatinopossum]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen thank you! I will definitely be making pot stickers soon :) its been hard to find them premade since I moved.

[@tarmanda1116]

Can't wait to try the tofu technique! And I LOVE that sweet chili sauce! I haven't ordered from Amazon in awhile but I think I will! Love your videos! Also that heart of something brand that has the American cheese? They have some tiger cheese too! I tried smoked Gouda. Doesn't really taste like smoked Gouda but I still really liked it! Thanks for the vid!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Thank you! I keep hunting for the smoked Gouda but haven't seen it yet. I'll keep my eyes peeled. :)

[@tarmanda1116]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen I take it all back! Edit! You have to heat/melt the Gouda. It's SO GOOD! I think it taste just like smoked Gouda! You gotta find it!

[@jane6508]

omgggg those "sausages!" SO GOOD.

[@FreakyBo0o]

Girl you're glowing! x

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

[@NatalieLouise1234]

You're a chef!

[@healthyeatingalways]

The longganisa looks delicious...I too loved to eat breakfast meats with rice for breakfast, it's just so satisfying. The tofu had me drooling!!! Native Foods is the shit!

[@josephjoseph1264]

Dude you know I clicked the moment I saw longganisa.

[@melgurr5893]

yay! love these videos :) thanks for sharing, you're awesome! love you 😘

[@nikkidechent8535]

Have you ever done any native food copy cat bowls?! Because I would loooove some ideas on that front. Their sauces are so good! Also their Thai meatballs. I also love them!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

That's a good idea! I will try to brainstorm some copycat recipes.

[@susanlahaise4508]

Didn't mind the randomness. Lol. I really like your videos. It's like we're just in the kitchen together cooking vs a video that is fun to watch but you'd never make the recipe. Your so genuine. 💗

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha thank you! I'm glad that we feel like friends. :) That's the vibe I want for my channel.

[@rubyisontheinternet]

I love watching your videos! You personality is so sweet 💖🍓

[@HealthyCrazyCool]

Your tofu recipes always get way too excited, i'd be all over that like brown on rice 👅

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

If it's fried and it's tofu...yeah I'm there. ;)

[@maikerurosenthal8284]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen hello new sub hear a really great videos. Is this like healthy eating or just vegan eating?trying to learn how to cook healthy.

[@JaeC567]

YUMMMM that quinoa looks amaaazing

[@renosralphprospecting138]

I forgot you mentioned you were half Flip. Tripped me out because you often don't seem like it, but thats awesome !. I'm fully Flip but weird.. because I drive a truck and blast country. Miss longganisa :)

[@sydneyvixx6983]

I get so excited when you post 🤗🤗🤗❤️

[@MrNioMoon]

You're literally the best person ever.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

[@laneriebeling4355]

I love Native Foods!! I'm always curious, when you post videos visiting your family, where in San Diego? Wonderful video as always!

[@Matildochka]

Hi there! I recently discovered your channel and I am addicted :) I was wondering if you have any ideas/recipes for party appetizers/finger foods?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Hi! I will try to make more, but for now I did make a party foods video for the Superbowl a couple months back with some buffalo tofu, pretzel dogs and avocado fries with aioli.

[@flanjo1]

yo im not trying to be vegan but i want to start eating healthier ....your channel is so cool. so i might steal some of your recipes. that quinoa dish look AMA-ZING!!!!!

[@heatherbartlett2272]

Can the tofu in this recipe be baked? I don't use oil at all.

[@gwiyeo]

Could you show us a way to make longanesa as a saitan? That would be so good I bet!

[@stardu5t796]

I'm in love with your channel lol

[@susanspratling]

Yummy Thank you!

[@mastiffpeople4868]

You porgot ( forgot with Filipino accent) GARLIC fried rice. Gonna try that quinoa mix thing you made...looks good.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha I knowww I thought about making it but I just wanted to eat!

[@tamitorossian7285]

I have wanted to go to Native Foods for like a whole year now.. JEALOUS

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Yeah I'm mad they don't have one in the Bay Area yet. :'(

[@69ER509]

Tami Torossian Same! 😣

[@lonnellbivins4787]

Great video! Love the food. I love the music too. What's the name of the song?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Hey! Thanks. I can't remember at the moment the name of the song but I always use music from Lakey Inspired.

[@lonnellbivins4787]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen You're welcome 🙂. I'm going to look that up .

[@stephaniejackson4897]

Girl, I love your videos. I'm also half Filipino anddd I was wondering if you could do vegan Filipino "chicken" adobo?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I've been wanting to try to recreate adobo! Next time I visit my fam I probably will. :)

[@jasmingodoymusic]

ur the only vegan youtuber i like, for real.

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Lol. I'm honored.

[@christinat.7171]

love the video :). I'm a low carb eater. could you make a low carb dish? greens would be good. tks.

[@monsyd913]

Your tofu always looks restaurant-perfect!!!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha thank you!

[@lelechelle]

I made this today but I never measure anything. I also added rice to give it a firmer texture. Bomb. Com

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Adding the rice sounds like a good idea!

[@lelechelle]

Sarah's Vegan Kitchen thanks for the recipe

[@alohaleila3233]

Oh my, the hunt for "coconut vinegar" is on!!! Lolz. No joke, you're a lifesaverrrrr!!! Look at that char!!! *Vegan drool* Lolz. Mahalo & Salamat for the share gurl

[@ladycupcake299]

am not vegan but I absolutely love your Chanel🙌🙌🙌

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

thank you!

[@90Maud]

I can't find the video for the crispy tofu 🙁

[@kshyy]

Ang sarap!!

[@edwardkominski3629]

LOve Crispy Tofu!

[@CardiacBeat]

I was wondering if you could include your total macros in a day? I'm trying to just track macros and see how that goes. Also, do you track net carbs or total carbs? Thanks! :)

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I don't track anything at the moment. Have you watched any Naturally Stefanie videos? She is another vegan YTuber into fitness and a lot of her What I Eat videos show her macros, etc. And I believe High Carb Hannah sometimes adds her macros in too!

[@araghvani7032]

quinoa salad looks boss 😎

[@beautifulL52]

your videos are always short and sweet. But I must admit that I sometimes want to ee you more often.. I'm greedy I know I know but in my defense you just make such amazing delicious looking vegan food and I am addicted to your videos lol

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I'm hoping to push really hard to upload a couple times a week this summer. :) Thanks so much for the support.

[@beautifulL52]

Your so awesome! Don't over work yourself though! We don't want you to get burned out and not upload at all. I love LOVE LOVE your videos! :)

[@kianamojica3959]

are you filipino? the logganisa looks amazing omg

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Just half! It was pretty good -- Astig Vegan's blog is a great resource for Filipino recipes!

[@MrKenimora]

Kiana Mojica its crazy, I was going to ask if she's Mexican cause we also have longaniza in here.

[@katromero4456]

weird at 2:40 cuz we have the same container at my house lol

[@lenretuta]

Yay! AstigVegan!!

[@spadedeace1973]

Do you have a seiten recipe that doesn't use wheat?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

I haven't experimented with that many fake meats that are gluten-free yet. I want to try with pea protein soon!

[@torntigre]

I wanna hire you to cook for me! :) stuff never turns out looking and probably tasting as good as you make it!

[@May_dusa]

I'm probably dumb for asking this, but would the crispy tofu work for meal prep?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It might get soggy in the fridge. It would probably crisp up again if you reheat it in the oven or stovetop, but in the microwave not so much.

[@mickey08love]

I got a question what do you eat in a family filipino party's if your family is not vegan because every time I go my Filipino parties I cannot eat anything there cuz I'm the only vegan in my family is it too embarrassing to bring your own food I mean I want to be at that party just to spend time with my family cause those are the only times that I get to see my dad too.. but most of out party's are in a buffet what would you suggest that I could eat in a Chinese Buffet???

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Haha I know what you mean. Usually I'll just rice and steamed veggies, or if there is a tofu dish I'll do that. Buffets sometimes have a great fruit selection too. (I know, it's a little boring.) Sometimes I'll just eat a little at the party to be social, and then have my own dinner when I get home. At family BBQs, usually there's a good variety of corn, baked potatoes and veggie skewers and rice. :)

[@june7132]

Yay, I love your recipes! Going to try to make the quinoa salad. Also random, but are you filipino?

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Half, yes!

[@annabellatitong9567]

Can you pls make veganized tocino pls🙏

[@emb5091]

Vegan Filipino food? hell yeah! I'm going to make the vegan longgonisa for my sister who isnt vegan! ( I'm trying to convert her. hehe) Astig Vegan also makes a vegan kare kare recipe that I have to try since kare kare is my favorite! She doesn't make vegan tocino though. =( Great video! Keep up the great work!

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

Omg I would LOVE for someone to come up with a tocino recipe. :) I miss that stuff.

[@MrIzura]

Is quinoa cheap there in your country?

[@MrIzura]

Because in Malaysia its expensiveeeeeee AF!

[@liberdedeum6748]

Izura Heman short grain brown rice can be substituted and will be yummy too, just remember to soak ahead and to fluff and air dry on a platter to keep them from sticking to each other before tossing in the rest of the ingredients +pax Christi!+

[@MrIzura]

Liber De Deum hello liber, thank you :) i would love to try brown rice too, but im scared because everytime i eat white rice, i cannot poop. So my carbs have always been potatoes + wholewheat bread .. could brown rice possibly do the same to me too? Because many people can poop with white rice but i can't D: now im just scared to try anything rice. Even brown..

[@SarahsVeganKitchen]

It's kind of expensive here too (in my opinion); I only buy it on sale. But you can sub in another type of grain, or some couscous.

[@tory6690]

U make me feel Okay about eating tofu💘
