      I'm not vegan but I'm making a huge effort to eat alot more plant based foods for good heslth as my resolution for 2020. So far it's been great. There are so many awesome recipes in the vegan world and I love cooking so much. I feel it's making me a better cook because you need to be more creative when you cut out meats from your regular diet. And as a bonus I've lost a few pounds just from the Change in my diet and I feel amazing. :)

      Making vegan “meat” is important though for people wanting something similar to what they were used to before switching. Honestly baffles me when people get angry at vegans trying to replicate meat with plant based ingredients, allow it loool. Spread love not hate ✌️

      @@PatricksJuicyFlapJacks this! as cool as unique vegan recipes are, it’s crazy someone would get mad at you for wanting to eat something with similar flavours & textures as the non vegan food you’ve ate before, when you’re not hurting anybody in the making

      @@PatricksJuicyFlapJacks exactly. i know a lot of people who aren’t even interested in going vegan or vegetarian, but through vegan alternatives similar to meat, they’ve opened up to plant based meals & therefore including more veggies in their diet. giving people options and showing how they can have more variety in their diet can never go wrong

      @PatricksJuicyFlapJacks 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      @@qinggjj9208 yup, I have a lot of those types of people around me too. What’s unfortunate though is some commercially available alternatives (beyond, impossible, yves, good butchers, etc.) are priced higher than their meat counterpart, and it’s not even the producers fault. Government subsidizes dairy and meat thus able to lower their prices, but they don’t subsidize REAL innovation and REAL solutions to animal welfare and REAL solutions to climate change and REAL solutions to global health crisis. Actually sickens me.

    I know this is an older video but just wanted to thank you for it! It's surprisingly hard to find videos just giving you quick and easy flavor-profile ideas. I was just looking for different flavors for my tofu and most went through the whole cooking/meal process or were adding things in as cooking. This was perfect - multiple options all in one place, plus they were all quick and easy with mostly fairly accessible ingredients. I do appreciate the meal ideas to go with them though. Also mentioning how long they'll be good in the fridge is so helpful.

      Try going to any Asian food stores like Lions Market. I found fresh lemongrass by going to my local Vietnamese store, and I just so happened to come upon the fresh stocks. Explore around, also remember that Thai lemon grass can be frozen whole or in pieces. So if the store is far you can stock up and just freeze what you don’t use immediately.

So many times on FB in the plant-based groups, people will showcase their "meals" and 9 times out of 10, the green veggies are TOTALLY GREY AND GROSS (all the nutrients committed suicide). I'd been looking for a good marinade for my tofu lately. Been eating tofu for at leasat 10 years so I'm always looking for ways to mix it up. Thanks again!
