PUMPKIN CONGEE 🙌

450g pumpkin
1 carrot
170g vegan chicken pieces
2 spring onions
1 tbsp ginger
3 garlic cloves
1l water
150g rice
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp vegetable stock powder
1 tbsp rice vinegar

Garnish:
Chilli oil
Spring onion

1. Slice the pumpkin and carrot into small pieces so it cooks fast. Set aside for now.

2. On a medium to high heat fry the chicken pieces until golden and set aside.

3. Finely chop the garlic and grate the ginger. Chop the spring onion but leave the green parts for garnish. Fry for a few minutes until fragrant.

4. Add the pumpkin, carrot and 1l of water to the pot, cover and leave it until the pumpkin is soft (around 10 minutes).

5. Once the pumpkin and carrot has cooked through, roughly blend it with the immersion blender leaving a few small chunks.

6. Wash the rice and add it in together with the spices and the stock powder. Cover and boil for another 10 minutes. Mix the congee every few minutes to prevent rice from sticking to the bottom.

7. Once it's cooked, add the rice vinegar and serve with chilli oil and leftover spring onion greens.

This is crazy, this is literally the same quality as some of the best cooking shorts out there but this only has about 50 likes. Your channel will become big one day, very underrated. Good job.

I’m so happy I found your page. It’s kind of crazy, because I also moved to Germany thinking I might get a master’s degree. I’m working here right now on a scholarship but I’m just so overwhelmed thinking about what the future holds. I’m happy to hear I’m not alone and I’m sure your channel will grow because of these truly human feelings you express with great cooking footage!

I’m 30, traveled my entire life doing odd jobs..no career drive and coming to peace with that…just that no one around me ever understands my way of life, and I’m slowly accepting that fact too!

[SparkzMxzXZ]

Woah you spoke my thoughts exactly. I didn’t do a masters but i was basically buying time while doing my bachelor’s and trying to buy more time by wanting to further my studies even more. Thankfully i didn’t (and avoided getting into more student debt). Now i’ve paid off my student loans and am doing something i really enjoy doing, even if it’s not the most high flying career out there.

Thank you for sharing! It can be difficult to choose our starting path in life. I’m glad you’re taking time to consider what’s important to you, and not what others want ❤

[KSmith-kpjz]

Not knowing what you want to do with your life is a scary feeling. I’m glad you found your way.

[grumpycrumbles]

Girl you are a real one... thank you!!!!

[qurshot]

Your voiceover chats are so sincere and fun to listen to, keep up :)

[MJ-gxfi]

This channel feels like my personal diary🙃

[digiac]

Good on you! Best of luck on your degree and lots of love from the Netherlands! ❤

I just found you on my feed, and i'm really liking what i'm seeing so far— you remind me of TheKoreanVegan with the recipes and anecdotes and your voice is soothing and your videos are thought provoking. I'm excited to see if you go far, but even if you don't, you've gotten yourself at least one new loyal viewer.

[toukawisteria]

New subscriber here. Binged all of your videos. You felt warm and I liked that you talked about things I think about in my head but never got to say out loud. It felt nice to connect to someone for the first time in a while even if I don't really know anything about you. You felt like a big sister I never had.

Sorry if the comment was burdensome but I wanted to let you know that your presence in my time made me happy.

[chronnoisseur]

Damn, less than 400 subscribers? That's wild, this is super well put together. Did you start somewhere else and just now make a youtube page? Leaving a like and a comment for the algorithm regardless, hopefully your page blows up soon. 🤙

My mother (also from eastern Europe), had to go to university even, even though she didn't want to. After coming to Germany, she decided to do what she always wanted and became a cook and she never regretted the decision.

[tonysamaniego]

Why didn’t you get into a masters program? Were you denied or you just decided to get a job? Also, what do you do for work? I’m from Arizona and likely moving to Cottbus or Berlin in the next year (just finished my masters degree).

[peopleskingdomofwolcottia]

I agree with the philosophy behind that

[zoomcards-ntho]

truthfully i don't relate to or agree with most of what you talk about, but your cooking always looks bomb.

Uni is not the best option for everyone.
Some jobs require it, like teacher, doctor and so on, but if you want a job that doesn't require it, it's just a waste of time to study then.

[kurokagator]

I was born and raised in Germany. I threw my abitur, I didn't wanna go to college and I was sick of studying.
Ended up in an apprenticeship in a 4 star hotel and am now working a cozy night shift job in said hotel where I'm paid for sitting on my butt playing video games for half my time.
