In this video I’m going to be showing you guys some high protein dinner recipes that I have been making since I went vegan 6 years ago this Roundup is perfect for all you beginner vegans or if you are already plant-based but are hoping to adopt a more Whole Foods high
Protein plant-based diet which is exactly what I specialize in plus everything I make is glutenfree so if that sounds good to you make sure you subscribe below so I can be here for you and help you along your plant-based eating Journey so let’s just get right
Into it and we’re going to start with a recipe that is an absolute staple in my weekly dinner rotation did you know that you can create an absolute Beast of a noodle bowl with one of those measly little packs of instant noodles that’s probably sitting in the back of your
Cupboard somewhere I would say at least once a week or so I take one of those instant noodle packs and I transform it into an absolutely Feast full epic noodle that just tastes so dang good with just a few extra veggies tossed in some extra plant-based protein like tofu
Or edamame or a chickpeas and you know some sauces or spices you already have in your kitchen or your fridge you can transform a boring Plain Jane package of noodles into something totally delicious and satisf now if this doesn’t look like something you would get in an Asian
Restaurant I don’t know what is but here you go this is how you make it I’m making this recipe for two in this video these are all the simple veggies that I’m using for this particular bed up bowl and I’ve got some soy curls here
That you guys know I love I have been mentioning them like crazy lately and they’re just so good so filling so high in protein so now that I’ve soaked them I’m going to strain out all the liquid and then you have some veggies there I used Dacon radish some carrot some
Celery and anyway we’re just going to plunk those veggies into the bowl with the prepared uh noodle packages and you’re just going to pour on some hot water let them cook as you normally would or according to the package directions we’re going to let that stand
For about 7 or 8 minutes and then in the meantime if you have any other veggies that you want to prepare like a leafy green or bok choy or kale or you want to steam some edamame now is the time to do it because it only takes like a few
Minutes to you know cook these kinds of veggies so by the time your noodle bowl has finished cooking and the noodles are softened you’ve got some nicely saute bok choy and here you go see look at that nudles it’s already looking so much better than would have if you just added
Water now you’ve got tons of plant-based protein I used the edamame and the soy curls and I’ve added so much more flavor with some uh lime juice and a little bit of sriracha you can add anything else you want like soy sauce or some fresh chopped herbs I put some cilantro on top
Of here as well as some chopped green onions you can really like use whatever you have in your fridge and it’s going to turn out so good you can even use chopped cabbage you can use onion you can use really any vegetable or even if you have frozen
Peas or snap peas I add these all the time it’s just one of those meals that is perfect when you need to clean out your fridge and you don’t have a lot of motivation or energy and you want something that’s ready in like 10 minutes if you’ve been watching me for a
Little while you know how much I love a good curry I like them Saucy I like them spicy I like them when they’re packed full of plant-based protein just like this totally vegan version of butter chicken it’s butter chickpeas see that little play on words chicken chickpeas but seriously guys butter chickpeas is
One of the first meals that I ever learned how to veganize like transforming something that I traditionally knew as a meat meal into something totally plan-based and honestly it has never ever disappointed me and it is one of my favorite meals that I make so often probably once a
Week the chickpeas get cooked in this delicious luscious and creamy sauce that is so full of flavor and it’s aromatic and it’s just like so good you could drink it and it’s packed full of protein from the chickpeas and I also add tofu a lot of the time as well if I’m really
Needing a little bit of extra protein after a hard workout or something and other than it being so flipping delicious it only takes 30 minutes to make and it’s a one poot meal served up with some fluffy Jasmine or basmati rice butter chickpeas is just one of the most
Satisfying meals and it’s so easy all you got to do first is prepare your aromatics and then saut them down in some oil you’ve got some onion we’ve got ginger and garlic you can use as much as you want I go crazy on the ginger and
The garlic cuz I like lots of flavor basically sauté that down until all the aromatics are really fragrant and they start to turn golden and then in this part I forgot to actually capture me throwing in the spices but you just throw in a delicious Indian spice blend
Of a few different spices in seasonings like cumin cinnamon Chili Pepper and a few others now if you have a jar of tomato sauce great you’re going to pour that in if you don’t have tomato sauce you can just dilute a tin of uh tomato paste which is usually what I end up
Doing cuz I don’t often buy tomato sauce now to make the sauce extra creamy you add a whole can of coconut milk and then you simmer the chickpeas and the tofu in that delicious sauce with a little bit of added nutritional yeast for some Savory Umami flavor then you’re going to
Simmer that down and let it reach a delicious deep orange color and it’s going to smell oh my God so good you guys the sauce is so creamy and it’s so full of flavor and everything here is just totally healthy this is all Whole Foods there’s nothing processed it’s all
Just good for you food and you guys are so going to enjoy this please let me know if you make it below cuz I want to hear how much you love it okay guys did you know that even vegans can enjoy a big ass delicious Bowl full of Pokey
Without the fish it’s true and it is so good pretty much all the good flavors that you get in a pokey Bowl come from the sauces and the seasonings they use which are actually really easy to make yourself and to marinade your tofu in or just simply drizzle over your whole Bowl
So my version of a vegan poke Bowl uses cubed tofu in place of raw fish which I think it’s actually pretty Brill and you add some delicious cooked sushi rice I always go for brown rice you can add in whatever veggies you want to bulk it up
Make a delicious sauce just let me show you it’s so good rice corn edamame tofu these are some of the main ingredients for building our vegan poke bowls if you can get your hands on some fur aake rice seasoning definitely do it it’s awesome and it gives a delicious oceany flavor
To your bowls we’re going to start by making our garlic ginger soy sauce for this bowl so start by mincing up or microplaning some fresh ginger and garlic you can definitely use a little bit less Ginger than I’m using here I’m a bit crazy for ginger so feel free to
Reduce the amount that you use in your sauce and we’re going to add the minc ginger and garlic into a jar or a bowl and we’re going to follow that with some soy sauce I’m using gluten-free soy sauce from brags this is my favorite brand I can get a big bottle for cheap
But you can also use tamari if that’s all that you can find at your stores then we’re going to add some mirin which is a sweet rice based cooking seasoning adds a little sweet fermented flavor plus we’re going to add some rice vinegar for a little bit of Tang and
Acidity plus a little bit of toasted sesame oil this stuff is so good it gives a delicious toasty nutty flavor to our sauce plus a little bit more of that for a cocka seasoning adds a little bit of that oceany seaweedy flavor I added about a teaspoon plus a teaspoon of red
Chili Flags that’s optional if you don’t like spice now we’re just going to seal that with the lid and give it a good shake until it’s all mixed up together well combined and slightly emulsified next we’re going to cube up some tofu I’m using extra firm tofu CU that’s what
I happen to have but you can use firm or extra firm this is what’s going to replace the fish the raw cubed fish that you normally find in a Poké ball definitely not the same texture as fish but you get the idea it adds a little
Bit of extra protein and it is just delicious and satisfying now we are going to build our bowls so I start by adding some greens but that’s optional if you don’t have or want to put Greens in your bowl and then I am adding some cooked sushi rice I love Brown sushi
Rice so that’s what I use plus a little bit of that a coake rice seasoning and then we’re going to add some corn for a little bit of crunch and sweetness you can use fresh or frozen and then I’m adding a couple handfuls of edamame beans these add a ton of protein and
Wonderful chewy texture and then we’re going to add in some of that cubed Tofu for you know the protein this is the Pokey in our poke bowl and then we’re going to add some wakame salad this is seaweed salad it is so good I found a
Big tub of it at Costco if you can get yourself to a Costco get some of this it’s so good then we’re going to drills with a few tablespoons of delicious sauce right over the whole bowl and it is done sprinkle on some sesame seeds for garnish if you please and devour
This is so good and if you want you know extra oceany flavor and you couldn’t find the fur aake or wakame Salad just use seaweed sheets like the Nory sheets you can find at an Asian grocery store I myself am a pretty huge advocate for eating seasonally and as of the time of
Filming this video we are in the middle of winter it is very very cold but there are so many delicious winter veggies that are totally abundant everywhere you go I’m talking beets and carrots and turnips and Brussels sprouts and all the root vegetables they are here and
They’re here to stay for the season so you should eat them and did you know that if you roast up a big tray of any of those roots or winter veggies I just mentioned throw them in the oven roast them for a while you can transform form that into a totally heartwarming and
Soul satisfying winter salad enough of me chitchat let’s just get right into this roasted winter veggie salad come on now look at how colorful you can make your roasted winter vegetable salad it’s so beautiful this could be all yours okay let’s get serious here’s how I like
To make one version of a roasted winter veggie salad and this version includes copious amounts of carrots and Brussels sprouts and beans so chop up your carrots into fairly large coins and half in trim your brussels sprouts then you know peel up a few large beads Cube them
Up into similar size shapes as the carrots and now you’re going to season them you can use whatever seasonings you like I generally like to go for something that’s a little bit flavorful like smoked paprika and I added a little bit of salt a little bit of oil you can
Also omit oil and salt if you’re trying to watch calories and you can instead toss it in tamarian whatever seasonings you like same goes for the beets here now that you have seasoned all your vegetables just give them a toss and you’re going to transfer it either into
A large casserole dish or a large sheet pan now if you’re going to be cooking beets alongside any other vegetables and you don’t necessarily want everything to become the color of beets just somewhat separate them like I’ve done here and if you want you could add a little extra
Garlic which I would have actually done earlier but clearly when I filmed this I forgot to add the garlic when I was tossing the vegetables together anyway no big deal we’re going to pop that in the oven and you let it cook for about 40 minutes until the vegetables are
Becoming fork tender and while that’s happening you can massage some kale that’s right massage it give it some love with a little bit of oil I think I use sesame oil here now what I really love about this salad are actually all the toppings that I put on it like those
Roasted pumpkin seeds and this balsamic vinegar you guys balsamic vinegar is like it’s a miracle ingredient it can take anything from good to great and here I just added a few tablespoons on top popped it back in into the oven to let it finish roasting up for the last
Few minutes and letting it Infuse with the vegetables and so good add some crunchy roasted pumpkin seeds on top with some sweet and tart dried cranberries like oh my God like I want to eat this so bad right now this is so delicious now all you got to do is take
That massaged kale you’re going to let it Steam on top of the veggies they’re still hella hot so you’re just going to put some tin foil on that and let it sit no need to put it back in the oven but just let it chill out steam a little bit
And then the kale is nice and soft and it kind of loses its tough chewy texture which I know a lot of people do not like a b myself included and now just plate up that delicious rainbow bowl with some quinoa or rice and of course like I mentioned earlier absolutely make this
More high protein by baking up or air frying up some tofu or soy curls and serting up alongside the bowl this will make it a totally balanced and complete meal that will keep you feeling full and satisfied and oh boy so so good there you go people there are four healthy and
