enough seasoned tomato sauce to cover the lentils
6-8 tsp vegan cream cheese/sour cream/hummus
sprinkle seasonings of choice (salt, pepper, dried herbs for example)
drizzle of olive oil
fresh spinach for serving
fresh bread for serving

→ yields 2 bowls (around … cm in diameter)
→ bake until potatoes are TENDER, depending on the size and shape of your bowl (or on your oven) times may vary! But at around 40 min at 180C / 350F.

#3 Baked Tofu “Steaks” 3:22

200g firm tofu (7oz), cut in half lengthwise
a drizzle of olive oil
a drizzle of balsamic vinegar
a drizzle of ketchup
a drizzle of soy sauce
a drizzle of Worcestershire sauce, vegan
a drizzle of sesame oil (optional)

serve with:
roasted potatoes/roasted veggies/spring onion/fresh herbs/hummus/vg cream cheese etc

→ in order to protect your dishware, line it with parchment paper (i didn’t do that and so I had to do bit of scrubbinG)
→ serves 1

#3.5 Lazy Tofu Avo Wraps 4:40

1 Baked Tofu “Steak” (check recipe #3)
2 warmed tortillas
1 avocado, mashed
seasoned salt
sesame seeds, sriracha (mayo)

PLUS steamed broccoli, side salad etc
→ serves 1

#4 Gochujang Mac & Cheese 5:22

1 tbsp vegan butter
1 tbsp flour
a little over 1 cup pasta of choice (~100g)
¾ cup (180ml) unsweetened oat or soy milk
1 tsp miso paste
¾ tsp gochujang (or to taste)
1 tsp white wine vinegar (or to taste)
1-2 handfuls vegan pizza cheese
2-3 handfuls fresh spinach
sesame seeds for serving

→ serves 1

#5 Sesame Seaweed Noodles 6:51

important note: after filming I tweaked this recipe SLIGHTLY and found a better way of assembling this bowl.
1. Mix 1 tbsp of the sesame sauce with your serving of noodles/edamame.
2. Add your other bowl add-ins (crispy tofu, cucumber, sea weed bits)
3. drizzle some of the remaining sauce on top, add remaining toppings
(this way the noodles don't soak up all the sauce at once. Anyway...)

for the sauce:
2 ½ tbsp white tahini (the less bitter kind)
1 ¼ tbsp balsamic vinegar, lemon juice or white wine vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp agave or maple syrup (or to taste, up to 2 tsp)
2-3 tbsp orange juice (or water)

optional:
2 cloves garlic, minced and sautéed for 2-3 min in a little olive oil
1/4 tsp orange zest
salt, pepper to taste

SERVE WITH
1 serving rice/soba noodles (~70g)
chopped cucumber, 2 handfuls edamame
100g-150g pan fried tempeh or crispy tofu (check recipe #1 for how to cook said tofu)
roasted seasoned seaweed strips (from asian supermarket)
sesame, spring onion, additional soy sauce, salt, pepper etc

I've been vegan for 7 years, and I appreciate your recipes. It's always nice to have new quick meal ideas. Thanks for the content!

artcrylics

I'm glad you ended up including the potato bake idea, might be simple to you but to me it's brilliant ✨

emilalatour

not sure if you've done this before but I'd love to see like a grocery shopping/how to prep meals with those ingredients video! the reoccurrence of tofu and spinach made me think of it, curious what else u regularly pick up

The kimchi, tofu and cheese tacos look insane I will have to try that with the leftover kimchi in the fridge ❤❤❤

i love that you include really simple recipes like the potato bowl - they may seem simple to a seasoned chef but to someone who is a beginner (me a couple years ago watching your videos to learn how to cook !!) they can be a perfect way to start out . thanks mina !!!

The cheesy kimchi tacos! My BF had cheesy kimchi udon noodles at a restaurant last Friday and he said if changed his life. He quickly found a vegan version foe me so I’ll make it next weekend BUT the tacos are a great idea for leftovers. I had no idea kimchi and cheese went along so well together.
