Nisha has anyone ever told you that you have the most comforting angelic voice ❤❤😊😊

My trick with mushrooms is to dry fry them in a hot pan. So no oil at all. Periodically press down on them hard with a spatula so they release their liquids. You can tell they're done when the pan stops sizzling. This method makes them a lot firmer and meatier in texture and means that even the boring old button mushrooms acquire a good depth of flavour.

Thanks, Nisha. My husband HATES mushrooms! When we watched this video together, he said if I made this he would Tru it. (20 years of marriage and I have never fed him a mushroom)Mushroom.
Well I made it. It is DIVINE, MAGICAL! He tasted it willingly and said while he wasn't thrilled about the mushrooms, he thinks this dish is tasty.

BIG big deal for this man!

I hope he never gets too fond of shrooms. More for me! I love this dish more than I can say...and you right with it!

I made this recipe tonight. I left out the oil and substituted Oatley low fat oat milk for the coconut milk. I also used gluten free flour instead of the wheat flour. It was good! My husband had seconds. I have been looking for a good vegan stroganoff recipe for some time. This is it! Thank you, Nisha!

I have made this at least 6 times since originally watching this video. It's become one my kids fav and they hated mushrooms. Now they pick them out so they can save them till the end.

As a new vegetarian. Not quite to vegan status. This is definitely going to be on my Thanksgiving table. Avoiding meat consumption is not difficult, but I want something that will be comfort food and I think this will fill that perfectly. Thank you!

The biggest challenge for me in eating a vegan diet has been coming to terms with my long abiding hatred of mushrooms... I have had moderate success, my husband has made a few dishes with mushrooms that I like, and this stroganoff dish does look delicious, so I’m looking forward to trying to make it and hopefully expanding my palate for enjoyment of mushrooms.

for cooking mushrooms, a great technique is to add them in a dry pan to let them sweat out before adding any oil or seasoning, adding oil before that can make them absorbe it and become less crispy

why I love Nisha's videos: I know I'll learn so much about cooking AND get a good laugh.

[priyab]

You do so much for Max...I hope he treats you like the princess you are !

[consciousobserver]

Soggy anything is gross.. could be why my bff thinks she hates mushrooms as well. This dish is a MUST. 😭❤️

[christophersmith]

The tips you give for preparing the mushrooms genuinely changed my life and my boyfriend's life. Buying the ingredients now to make this for the second time in a week :D Thank you so much for sharing!

You and Max are the cutest, love your rapport - it's so adorable and funny at the same time.

[thecorameyer]

lol Max at the end seems so annoyed like "why are you making me do this" and then a couple bites he's all game hahah love it. Thanks Nisha I think you're so funny and down to earth and your vegan creations are so divine and delish! Thank you for all the content you share :) xoxo

Anyone else have cutting board envy? ;) That beast is a thing of beauty!

[reginam.-hd]

ich mag und gucke sehr gerne die Videos von Rainbow Plant Life, nicht nur, weil die Rezepte gut sind, sondern vor allem auch, weil sie eine erfrischende und natürliche Art hat und nicht "übersüßt bzw. übertrieben freundlich" rüberkommt.

[victoriaprevitt]

Seeing Max in the thumbnail made me want to watch this video even more than usual! I love your interactions lol.

[AmanCreatesArt]

I already love mushrooms, so it's sort of blowing my mind how good this recipe looks!

[ohkokomagic]

I recently discovered your channel and absolutely love it! You have a glowing personality and cute sense of humor. It’s refreshing to see a YouTube cook taste your food as you cook it, very relatable. I can’t wait to watch more videos and get lots of inspiration. Thanks! 💖

I’ve made this a few times now, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! I brought it for myself to eat at a family dinner one time. While everyone was digging into their beef roast, they were all so fascinated by what I was eating and asked for bites. They loved it too!
