#brie #pasta #Recipe: Cook spaghetti noodles according to package instructions, but before draining, keep about 1 cup of pasta water. When the noodles are done, throw them in a large bowl with 1/2 a round of brie, a handful of cherry tomatoes, and black pepper. Stir vigorously, adding a little bit of pasta water as you go. It's really important that you stir AGGRESSIVELY (this helps to emulsify the starch + fat), until you get a thick creamy sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and EVOO.

Remove from heat and add to bowl of cooked Korean wheat noodles. Garnish with scallion greens and shreds of roasted seaweed. #koreanfood #noodlesrecipe #storytime

This Filipino spaghetti was SO SO GOOD and tasted EXACTLY like the kind my mom used to make!! Even my Italian American husband liked it!! I'd say the hardest part about making this recipe was getting that Banana Sauce out of the bottle LOL! I almost threw my shoulder out of its socket! Thanks to @jeanelleats for encouraging me to make this dish and for weighing in with her thoughts on how to make sure I kept this dish as close to the original as possible while still making it plant-based! #filipinospaghetti #filipinoveganfood #veganfood

My lawyer thoughts on #momofuku #chilicrunch sich.

Why do vegans want to eat things that taste like meat? #veganfriedchicken

Hey everyone! Here’s the recipe for my Longevity Kimbap! 2 cups brown rice (uncooked) 1 large sweet potato, mashed 2 tbsp gochujang 2 tbsp fruit vinegar 1 tsp maple syrup 8 ounces super firm tofu, cut into batons 1/2 cup pickled radish 1 cup julienned purple cabbage 1 cup julienned carrots 1 cup boiled spinach 1 cup steamed eggplant 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce 8 sheets roasted nori Preheat oven to 475° F. Cook your rice and through your sweet potato in the oven. While rice is cooking, mix together gochujang, 1 tbsp vinegar, maple syrup, and 1 tbsp water. Add half this sauce to your tofu until well coated. Spread your tofu out on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 25 minutes, until crispy on the outside. Remove and set aside. Steam your eggplant and add garlic powder, soy sauce and remaining fruit vinegar. Remove baked potato from oven, mash it up. Get everything ready for assembly. Add 1/4 of your cooked brown rice to about 80% of your standard nori sheet. Then, take a second piece of nori and fold it so that it’ll cover JUST the rice. Then add your filling ingredients like in the video (keep same colors together if you can!). Roll it up, cut into pieces, add a little more sauce, enjoy! Each roll has 20 grams of protein, 7 grams of fiber! :) #longevityrecipe #koreanfood #Running #marathonrunning

The BEST Vegan Tiramisu--I've been working on this #recipe for months and months!! You can find the full written recipe on my blog! :)

Here's the #Recipe for this #nokneadbread 2 1/4 teaspoon active dry yeast 1 tablespoon brown rice syrup (can substitute sugar) 1/2 cup (70 grams) cooked rice (I use a mix of brown and white, but you can use all white or all brown) 370 grams all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1 teaspoon sea salt Whisk together active dry yeast with 1 1/2 cup of warm water (I mix half and half very hot water with cold water) and brown rice syrup. Allow the mixture to sit until it begins to foam (around 10 minutes). Add rice, flour, sesame oil, and salt. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon until a very scraggly dough forms (just make sure you’ve incorporated all the flour). Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or the lid of a very large pot and set it aside in a warm place for at least 2 1/2 hours and up to 3 hours (however long it takes for your dough to double in size). After it has doubled in size, place the bowl in the refrigerator for 4 hours (you can skip this part and head straight to baking, but if you do so, you’ll be missing out some extra flavor….!). After 4 hours, remove the bowl from the fridge and set it on the countertop. In the meantime, place a medium ddukbaeggi or 3 1/2 quart Dutch oven in the oven and begin preheating your oven to 450° F. While your oven is preheating, place a large sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Sprinkle the left part of parchment paper (not the center) with a little flour. Gently scoop your dough out using a large wooden spoon or bench scraper into the floured segment of the parchment paper. Then, gently lift the left part of your parchment paper to roll the dough onto its non-floured side, so that the dough is now resting in the center of your parchment paper. Keep your vessel in the oven for about 10 minutes after your oven has preheated. Then, using oven mitts, carefully remove the pot from the oven. Allow the bread to cool before removing and cutting in. Make sure to store in the refrigerator! #riceislife

Hi! The #recipe for this #kimchi #bindaetteok or "mung bean pancakes" is below: 2 cups Split Mung Beans 1 ounce dried ferbrake 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup cooked bean sprouts 1 cup kimchi plus juice 9 oz, Scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces 3 cloves Garlic, minced 2 teaspoons Soy sauce 1 tablespoons Sesame oil 0.50 teaspoon Salt 1 teaspoon Black pepper 2 tbsp Olive oil 2 tbsp Potato Starch 5 shiitake mushrooms, sliced 1. Soak mung beans in 5 cups filtered water for at least 4 hours. Soak gosari in 2 cups filtered water for at least 2 hours. 2. In the meantime, cook your mung bean sprouts in boiling water for about 4 minutes (until they turn translucent). Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside. 3. When your gosari has been rehydrated, cook them in boiling water together with baking soda (this helps with the woodsy taste) for about 6 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. 4. Add kimchi, bean sprouts, scallions, mushrooms, garlic, gosari, soy sauce, and sesame oil in a bowl. Mix them together and set aside for about 1 hour. 5. When mung beans have been rehydrated, drain any excess liquid. Then add the soaked mung beans, potato starch, soy sauce, salt, pepper, kimchi juice, and 1/2 cup of water to a blender. Blend on high (you may need to add a little more water, 1 tbsp at a time, to get the blades to turn) until you achieve a lumpy batter, kind of like oatmeal. 6. To a small pan (8-inches) over medium heat, add just a little oil. Place some of the marinated kimchi mixture onto the pan and then pour the batter over the veggies--enough to cover all the vegetables and reach the edge of the pan. Cook for about 3 minutes and using your spatula, flip the pancake. Cook for another 3 minutes.

It is with deep sadness that I inform you that yesterday, I ate the last of my homemade Mak Kimchi. 😫 . Ok, perhaps I’m being a bit overly dramatic, but if you’ve spent even 5 minutes in my presence for the last month, you’ve heard me wax poetic on my kimchi. This most recent batch is, BY FAR, the best kimchi I’ve ever made and ranks up there with some of the BEST kimchi I’ve ever eaten!! It reminds me of this small restaurant in NYC’s K-Town that used to serve my absolute favorite kimchi with their Suhl-lung-tang (a traditional Korean soup). Unfortunately, neither the soup nor the kimchi was vegan. Thanks to this vegan kimchi recipe, I’ve fixed ONE of those problems! . I’ve had a LOT of vegan kimchi since going vegan back in 2016 and this is hands down the BEST vegan kimchi EVAR. AND it’s so much easier than the traditional kimjiang way! I want to bring it with me everywhere because I want people to taste what REAL and DELICIOUS kimchi tastes like. It should be: *SALTY *SOUR *SWEET *CRUNCHY If it doesn’t taste like all four of those things… well, all the more reason to make your own kimchi at home!! You can find this recipe on my blog!

This week, I share a story that many of you have probably heard before—the one about my mom and how she came to my rescue at the Korean walnut cookie store inside the local HMart. I’m a fairly non-confrontational person, so when someone says something to me that is unapologetically unkind, racist, or otherwise inappropriate, there’s a part of me that instantly wants to hide. In this case, the aggressor found my weakness—the loathing I’d internalized about my body. I wanted to slink out of that little shop wrapped in an invisibility cloak from head to toe. What I never expected in a million years, though, was for my mother to come to my rescue. What’s your story? Has your mother or someone else you love unexpectedly come to your rescue? Share your story with us! #storytime #fatshaming #parenting

I wasn’t a big fan of oatmeal. Until… my mom told me that in lieu of adding fruit or syrup or cinnamon to her oatmeal, she added a little sesame oil and seaweed. And it was like a whole new world opened up to me! I could just add to my humble bowl of oatmeal all the things I’d add to a humble bowl of rice!! Here's the recipe for this Bibim Oatmeal: 1 cup cooked rolled oats 1/4 cup boiled spinach 1/4 cup boiled mung bean sprouts 1/4 shredded red cabbage 1/4 cup baked yam 2 tbsp kimchi 1/2 cup cooked brown lentils 2 tbsp shredded roasted seaweed 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds 1 tsp chopped scallion greens For the Gochujang Dressing: 1 tbsp gochujang 1 tsp maple syrup 2 tbsp water Enjoy!! #veganrecipe #oatmeal #longevityrecipe
