  • Miso-Glazed Mushrooms with Black Rice and Steamed Broccolini. Recipe below. 🌱 . . Lately I've been reading up on how to best cook mushrooms and I learned a really interesting trick for roasting them: brine them first. I was skeptical, but I tried it for this recipe and ended up with perfectly roasted cremini mushrooms that I then quickly broiled with a miso-glaze for a simple, savory vegan dinner option.🌱 . . I'm including the recipe here, but it will be part of a larger, coming-soon piece on the blog about how to cook mushrooms with plenty of tasty recipes to try. Stay tuned!🌱 . . ➡️ Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.🌱 . . ➡️ Prepare rice in accordance with package directions. Set aside.🌱 . . ➡️ Wash and cut ~20 cremini mushrooms into halves and quarters, seeking equal sizing.🌱 . . ➡️ In a large pot or bowl, combine 1 quart cold water and 2 t. salt. Mix until salt is dissolved. Place the mushrooms in the salt water and submerge with a heavy plate. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.🌱 . . ➡️ After 10 minutes, drain and rinse the mushrooms. Spread them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet (***this is important! miso-glaze will make clean up hard, so line your baking sheet***) and pat dry with a clean towel. Drizzle 1 T. high-heat oil (I like grapeseed) and mix until well coated. Season with pepper and roast for ~25 minutes. 🌱 . . ➡️ While the mushrooms are roasting, combine 1/4 c. mirin, 3 T. yellow miso paste, 2 t. sesame oil, 1 T maple syrup in a small food processor. 🌱 . . ➡️ Stir the mushrooms and roast for an additional 5 minutes. They should be starting to brown.🌱 . . ➡️ Remove the mushrooms from the oven and coat with the miso-glaze. Return to the oven under a broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully. The miso-glaze should caramelize the mushrooms, but will start to burn quickly.🌱 . . ➡️ Wash and trim broccolini. Briefly blanch the broccolini in a shallow pan with a small amount of boiling water. About 2-4 minutes. Drain and immediately dunk into an ice bath. This is how you get the vibrant color.🌱 . . ➡️ Build your bowl with rice topped with the blanched broccolini and the miso-glazed mushrooms. Serve immediately.🌱
  • Korean Tofu Crumble and Pickled Vegetables Bibimbap Bowl.🌱 . . Haven’t tried bibimbap? You’re missing out! I’ve teamed up with @LotusFoods ® to bring you this vegan version. #sponsored.🌱 . . Bibimbap is a Korean dish of mixed ingredients (“bibim”) and rice (“bap”). Typically this includes vegetables and meat. I’ve replaced the meat with a crispy Korean-marinated tofu crumble & added quick-pickled vegetables, roasted sweet potatoes & shiitake mushrooms. The rice is crisped for one of the most satisfying dishes you'll find.🌱 . . The recipe is below, but if you want to learn about bibimbap, why I 😍 Lotus Foods and why I simmered my mushrooms (#foodscience), check out my blog post.🌱 . . ➡️ Sweet Potatoes: [2 lg. sweet potatoes, washed and diced; 1 T. high temp oil; S&P.] Preheat to 450. Spread potatoes on a baking sheet. Toss with 1 T. oil and season with S&P. Roast ~20-25 mins. until crispy, stirring 1/2 way.🌱 . . ➡️ Pickled Veggies: [1 cucumber, washed & sliced; 1 carrot, washed & peeled into slivers; 2-3 red radishes, washed & sliced; 1 c. apple cider vinegar; 1 T. maple syrup; 1 t. salt]. In a saucepan, combine apple cider vinegar, maple syrup & salt. Bring to a boil until salt is dissolved. Pour over the veggies. Set aside. 🌱 . . ➡️ Tofu Crumble: [2 10 oz pkg. extra firm tofu, drained & crumbled; ½ c. tamari; 1 T. maple syrup; 1 t. toasted sesame oil; 2 cloves garlic, crushed; 1 T. fresh ginger, minced; ½ t. black pepper; 1 t. gochujang sauce; 2 scallions, washed & sliced thin]. Drain tofu & crumble. Press tofu in a clean towel to reduce water. Combine tamari, maple syrup, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, pepper & gochujang. Heat a skillet, add tofu & marinade & sauté (with limited stirring to encourage crisping ~6-8 minutes).🌱 . . ➡️ Mushrooms: [20 shiitake mushrooms, washed & sliced; 1 T. toasted sesame oil]. Simmer the mushrooms in water for 2-3 mins. Drain. Add sesame oil & sauté until crisp. ~3 mins.🌱 . . ➡️ Crispy Rice: [2 c. prepared Lotus Foods’ Organic Brown Jasmine Rice; 1 T. high temp oil].

  • Forget you ever knew bacon's name. 🌱 . . You will, I promise, with this Roasted Vegetable & Creamy Polenta with Warm "Bacon" Sauce. Recipe below. 🌱 . . This dish is the ultimate in vegan comfort food. Roasted carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts and kale get paired with creamy vegan polenta. The winning element though, is the salty, sweet sauce that is reminiscent of bacon drizzled over the top. 🌱 . . Best of all, this dish is pretty easy to put together. Here's how:🌱 . . ➡️ Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.🌱 . . ➡️ Wash and chop your carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts and squash (I used delicata) into bite-sized pieces. Toss in a small amount of EVOO and season generously with salt and pepper. Roast for ~25 minutes, turning and stirring halfway through until the vegetables are a golden brown.🌱 . . ➡️ While the vegetables are roasting, prepare your polenta by bringing 1 c. water and 1 14 oz can of coconut milk to simmer in a sauce pan. Stir in 1 c. of polenta & 1 t. salt. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring frequently. You will likely need to add 1 c. more water during the cooking process. Add 1/4 c. nutritional yeast toward the end of the cooking process (around 15 minutes). For tips on how to cook polenta, check out my stories. 🌱 . . ➡️ Simmer your washed & torn kale in a small amount of water until soft. Season with salt and pepper. 🌱 . . ➡️ Make your "bacon" sauce just before serving by combining 1/2 c. tamari, 4 T. maple syrup, 1 T. balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp. paprika and a few dashes of liquid smoke into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and, stirring continuously, allow the sauce to reduce to desired thickness.🌱 . . ➡️ Serve by spooning polenta into a small bowl and topping with the vegetables. Drizzle the sauce over the top. [Note: the sauce will become sticky when cooled, it is best served warm]. . . . #givemethatplant #theveganbuzz #healthyrecipe #feedfeed #goodoldvegan #veganfoodspace #vegan_veganfood #vegangotgame #gloobyfood #f52grams #buzzfeast #thenewhealthy #thrivemags #worldwideveganfood #eatingwelleats #huffposttaste #bestofvegan #veganbombs #veganerezepte #vegolab #letscookvegan #makesmewhole #wholefoodfaves #POPSUGAReats #theplantbasedpage

  • Vegan Thai Green Curry Noodle Bowl. Recipe on blog (link in bio).🌱 . . I'm home after a week's vacation and very happy to back in my kitchen! If you followed my stories, you saw what I spent a lot of my time doing - reading by the pool. Food science and cookbooks, to be exact. I love learning about different cooking techniques and adapting them into my own cooking. 🌱 . . This Vegan Thai Green Curry Noodle Bowl makes for a great welcome home meal. Winter is pretty much in full swing here and this bowl is warm and comforting. I filled it with sautéed shiitake mushrooms, asparagus and broccoli and cumin-spiced sweet potatoes. The sweetness of the potatoes complements the spiciness of the curry, while tamari and lime juice bring all of the flavors into balance. 🌱 . . In this blog post, I talk a bit about staging in the cooking process so that all of the ingredients come together at the right time, with the right texture and the most flavor. I hope that you'll check it out! 🌱 . . . . . #curry #greencurry #thaivegan #veganfood #ramen #noodlebowl #greencurryramen #givemethatplant #theveganbuzz #healthyrecipe #feedfeed #goodoldvegan #veganfoodspace #vegan_veganfood #vegangotgame #gloobyfood #f52grams #buzzfeast #thenewhealthy #thrivemags #worldwideveganfood #eatingwelleats #huffposttaste #bestofvegan #veganbombs #veganerezepte #vegolab #letscookvegan #makesmewhole #wholefoodfaves
  • I just wanted to take a moment to be thankful for all of you... all 10,000 of you! It just so happens that I made this milestone this Thanksgiving week, so it feels right to acknowledge how much I appreciate all the enthusiasm and support. 🌱 . . I love spending time on this feed and on all of the work that goes into running it: from the cooking, to the photographing, to the writing. It's so wonderful that there is a community of people interested in the same things. I so much enjoy sharing it with you. 🌱 . . Wishing you all a lovely Thanksgiving Day tomorrow (or just a lovely day if you don't celebrate Thanksgiving) and plenty of things to be grateful for! 🌱 . . . . . #vegan #veganblogger #foodblogger #foodphotography #cooking #veganrecipes #veganfood #foodstyling #foodphotos #instafood #vegansofinstagram #vegan #plantbased #veganfood #vegetarian #healthyfood #govegan #vegansofig #veganlife #whatveganseat #love #vegano #veganism #vegansofinstagram #vegans
  • Hola from Mexico! 🌱 . . This year, I've traded in my tofurkey for tacos! I'm spending the week away from my kitchen (and the large amounts of snow accumulating at home) and enjoying the warmth and sunshine in Playa Del Carmen.🌱 . . In the spirit of my trip, I wanted to share the vegan taco bar I made last week. These Spicy Red Lentil and Chili-Roasted Cauliflower Tacos feature a variety of homemade toppings, including jalapeño corn salsa, avocado crema, quick pickled red onions, toasted pumpkin seeds and tomato salsa with fresh cilantro. 🌱 . . You can find the recipes for each of these tasty taco treats on my blog (link in bio). 🌱 . . . . #vegan #vegantacos #plantbased #veganrecipes #streettacos #tacos #taconight #givemethatplant #theveganbuzz #healthyrecipe #feedfeed #goodoldvegan #veganfoodspace #vegan_veganfood #vegangotgame #gloobyfood #f52grams #buzzfeast #thenewhealthy #thrivemags #worldwideveganfood #eatingwelleats #huffposttaste #bestofvegan #veganbombs #veganerezepte #vegolab #letscookvegan #makesmewhole #wholefoodfaves
  • The BEST Vegan Basil Pesto Sauce. Recipe on blog (link in bio). 🌱 . . Remember that savory roasted portobello mushroom and artichoke toast I served up last week? The key to that recipe is in the pesto sauce. 🌱 . . My vegan pesto sauce closely mimics the traditional recipe, with the exception of parmesan cheese and two additional ingredients that I use to make up for the missing flavor that parmesan cheese imparts. And no, one of them is not nutritional yeast (although that is in the recipe as well). If you're curious, you should head on over the blog to learn more. These two ingredients engage in some tastebud trickery that won't have you missing that cheesy umami tang of parmesan cheese. 🌱 . . As an added bonus, there's a bit in there about the molecular structure of extra virgin olive oil and its potential to derail your pesto if you don't add it correctly. My blog posts are such geeky food fun! 🌱 . . . . . #vegan #pestosauce #italianveganfood #foodscience #vegano #plantbasedrecipes #foodphotography #givemethatplant #theveganbuzz #healthyrecipe #feedfeed #goodoldvegan #veganfoodspace #vegan_veganfood #vegangotgame #gloobyfood #f52grams #buzzfeast #thenewhealthy #thrivemags #worldwideveganfood #eatingwelleats #huffposttaste #bestofvegan #veganbombs #veganerezepte #vegolab #letscookvegan #makesmewhole #wholefoodfaves
  • Yellow Split Pea Soup. Recipe on blog (link in bio). 🌱 . . This recipe is a good one for nights when you really don't feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. It's super healthy, consisting mostly of vegetables and comes together in about 45 minutes (20-25 of which aren't active cooking time). As an added bonus, it makes wonderful leftovers for lunch the next day. 🌱 . . I get into some fun food science facts about this recipe on the blog. These are worth reading even if you're not into split peas because they'll help you cook other vegan dishes as well. For example, in this blog post, I talk a little bit about where to find your umami flavors when you're not cooking with meat or dairy products AND there are some helpful hints in there about cooking legumes along side tomatoes (hint: one thwarts the cooking process of the other, so you need to time the ingredients properly). I know this because I did it wrong. More than once. You're so super intrigued now, aren't you? Go ahead and head on over to the blog to learn more! 🌱 . . . . . #vegan #vegansoup #whatveganseat #plantbasedrecipes #vegano #foodphotography #alltheveggies #givemethatplant #theveganbuzz #healthyrecipe #feedfeed #goodoldvegan #veganfoodspace #vegan_veganfood #vegangotgame #gloobyfood #f52grams #buzzfeast #thenewhealthy #thrivemags #worldwideveganfood #eatingwelleats #huffposttaste #bestofvegan #veganbombs #veganerezepte #vegolab #letscookvegan #makesmewhole #wholefoodfaves
