I recommend doing 3-4 per roll, so you get 2 rolls total for the kimchi a few tbsp vegan kimchi a handful of vegan pizza cheese (USE A NON STICK PAN) 1 serving of cooked rice cucumber, cut into ribbons using a vegetable peeler #2 Crispy Tofu Pesto Sandwich 4:15 Make your own Sandwich Bread: https://youtu.be/2fwmqR1Idx8 2 slices of bread 6 - 8 slices of smoked tofu oil for the pan hummus vegan pesto 1 small pre-cooked beet, cut into slices everything bagel seasoning, or other spice mix of choice a handful of broccolini pieces about ¼ cup (60ml) of water for steaming (make sure the oil in the pan you used to fry the tofu isn’t hot anymore when adding the water! Otherwise clean the pan first before adding the water) #3 Crispy Filled Rice Bites ft. my new fav Glass Noodles 5:30 150g short rice (¾ cup) 300ml water (1 ¼ cup) generous pinch of salt (added to the rice pot) → bring up to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, allow to simmer, covered for 15 min until water is absorbed, then remove from the heat, allow to sit, still covered for at least 5-10 more min → shape rice once it’s cooled down quite a bit filling ideas: 4 tsp vg cream cheese 4 tsp vg kimchi 4 bite size smoked tofu pieces a little oil for the pan → yields 4 rice bites! for the salad: a small handful of dried seaweed 100g glass noodles (3.5oz) dressing: 3 tbsp white wine vinegar (or 2 tbsp rice vinegar) 2 tsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp olive oil 2 tbsp agave syrup ½ tsp bagel seasoning (or roasted sesame seeds) small pinch of salt 1 tsp white or red miso paste 1 small carrot, cut into ribbons ⅓ cucumber, cut into ribbons optional: lettuce #4 Spiced Baked Tempeh w Crispy Fried Tofu Sticks 9:07 for the tempeh: 200g - 250g tempeh (7 oz - 8.8 oz) ~ 250g cherry tomatoes (~ 8.8oz) 4-5 cloves garlic peeled 2 inch (5cm) piece of fresh ginger, peeled, cut in half 3 - 4 tbsp olive oil ½ cup (125ml) passata or crushed tomatoes a generous pinch of salt ½ tsp cumin pinch of cinnamon ⅓ tsp chili flakes, more to taste ¼ tsp ground turmeric 1 ½ tbsp agave syrup or sugar → bake covered for 50 min - 1 hour for the tofu: 1 block tofu, cut into sticks ⅓ cup (80ml) non dairy milk ½ cup (60g) cornstarch combined w 1 generous pinch of salt ½ cup (45g) panko bread crumbs, more if needed frying oil (sunflower seed for example), enough so the oil covers 2-3 inches / 5-7,5cm of your pan, does that make sense also cooked couscous, or other grain of choice → serves 2-3 MUSIC used: Intro by sharktank: https://open.spotify.com/track/5wKAJuATzOtFqHbL8GFLLr?si=118e1ac7065643b7 Culpeo: https://open.spotify.com/track/0HXTQrQQKZCMqZiTlDlGeW?si=c55a2f80b09d467a https://open.spotify.com/track/6naaIUDv5Rzhht9iWWS1Mf?si=bb5f42723ecf470c https://open.spotify.com/track/62dF6f6lfrMEKkUvg8h0db?si=bb1e525e96394fc1 https://open.spotify.com/track/5L76i1SGzFz6Q5XnceUxG6?si=88bc4f71bcb14f12 fluhalp: https://soundcloud.com/fluhalp/moving_on-84 Gil Wanders - https://thmatc.co/?l=2B7A234E frumhere - so alone for so long - https://thmatc.co/?l=27836586 Outro by Teen Blush: https://soundcloud.com/teenblush/dereflection-1 Much love, Mina This video is sponsored by Sqaurespace *that’s an affiliate link
