kabocha squash mac and cheese—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
another kabocha squash recipe! if you’re unfamiliar kabocha squash aka Japanese pumpkin is very similar in taste and texture to pumpkins, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes. they’re one of the only squash that is low FODMAP, so if you struggle with gut health/digestion you gotta try it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for the breading I used @longevebrands breadless crumbs mixed with the kabocha squash seeds, olive oil, nutritional yeast, and salt. click the link in my bio for the full recipe🎃
kabocha squash bowl w/ carrot miso ginger dressing kabocha squash bowl w/ carrot miso ginger dressing—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
prob the most gut friendly meal I’ve ever made! this bowl is 100% low FODMAP meaning no icky IBS symptoms. whether you deal with IBS or not, the ingredients in this bowl are nourishing, loaded with micronutrients, and super gentle on the gut. we’ve got—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—baked kabocha squash
—spicy sautéed kale
—water chestnuts
—nori
—lotus root
—shredded carrots
—diced cucumber
—brown rice

I like to add lots of ingredients to keep my meals as diverse as possible - eating the same foods everyday can unfortunately cause intolerances. so try your best to eat as much of a variety as you can to keep your gut bacteria happy! 🦠

tofu “egg” salad—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this is such an easy meal I eat allll the time. it takes literally minutes to prepare and tastes just like authentic egg salad. here’s how to make it:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—add a block of firm tofu (not to be confused with super firm) to a mixing bowl and use a fork to crumble. 
—mix in 3-4 tbsp of vegan mayo (I use @primalkitchen), 1/2 tsp turmeric, and 1/2 tsp black salt aka kala namak. mix well and top with pepper and chopped chives
—grab a tortilla (I use rudi’s gf spinach tortilla) and cut a line from the center of the tortilla towards the bottom
—add shredded romaine and a small scoop of egg salad to each of the 4 quadrants of the tortilla. carefully fold the bottom left quadrant up. fold again to the right, then complete folding the tortilla down. that might sound confusing - if you’re not familiar with how to fold a tortilla this way, google “tiktok tortilla hack”
—fry for a minute or so on each side. no oil required!
steamed “crab” dumplings— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ steamed “crab” dumplings—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you’re looking for fun recipes to make with you partner or family you gotta try this one. the filling is made from carrots, corn, artichoke hearts, vegan cream cheese, and old bay seasoning which mimic a fresh crab & veggie mixture. sub the corn and carrots for more artichoke hearts if you want the mixture to be strictly “crab” 🦀 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
you can pan fry these dumplings, but I prefer them steamed. all you’ll need is a bamboo steamer rack and a deep frying pan one inch larger than your steamer rack. specifications and product recommendations are in the blog post which can be found in the link in my bio🧡

turmeric cauliflower & dijon butternut squash—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this recipe has soooo much flavor, I contemplated splitting it into two smaller appetizers (which you can totally do!) we've got a baked turmeric cauliflower over a bed of dijon butternut squash and crispy asparagus topped with dill, cilantro, crushed macadamia nuts, and jalapeños. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you want to incorporate more simple veggies into your diet but don’t want to settle for bland, this one is for you.

crispy rock tofu bowl—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
one of my fave recipes yet! this guy is inspired by Nobu’s rock shrimp tempura. before I was vegan, I loveddd rock shrimp so going into making this I knew I wanted to make it as realistic and tasty as possible.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to get the tofu crispy I used super firm tofu (less water & higher protein) air fried in a small amount of sesame oil and oat flour. to get it super realistic I would have deep fried it, but my goal is to create healthy alternatives you can enjoy everyday rather than once in awhile treats.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the sauce is made from vegan mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and maple syrup. if you don’t have vegan mayo accessible to you, easily make your own by blending or thoroughly whisking 1/2 cup oil (I like avocado oil best) with 1/4 cup plant-based milk (I like oat best) and 1 tsp of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar.

Vegan Korean Beef Bowl

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This vegan Korean beef dish is truly elite. Before going vegan I loved Korean food, specifically Korean beef. Unfortunately most Korean BBQ restaurants don’t too many hearty vegan options, so I decided to make my own with Meatless Farm’s plant-based ground beef. It tastes so realistic thanks to the authentic Korean flavors including ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, scallions, and  chili flakes.

Plant-Based Korean Beef + Easy to Prepare

I spend a lot of time cooking, so I LOVE meals like this because of how little time is spent. All you need to do is:

  • Find a vegan ground beef alternative. To be honest, there are no vegan ground beefs on the market that I am in love with. I chose Meatless Farm because it’s lighter than other meat alternatives that are heavy and oily. It still has canola oil and unspecified “natural flavors” which I can’t trust. If you’re a new vegan and are looking for realistic alternatives to help you through the transition, the meat alternatives are fine. If you’ve been vegan and are looking for everyday options, try crumbled tofu, lentils, or mushroom walnut meat (finely chopped mushrooms & walnuts) cooked with the same ingredients.
  • Cook with authentic Korean flavors. To the ground beef, mix in minced garlic, ginger powder, sesame oil, and soy sauce. Here’s what’s in my pantry:
Emperor's Kitchen Minced Garlic amazon
$4Emperor's Kitchen Minced Garlic

Simply Organic Ginger Powder amazon
$4Simply Organic Ginger Powder
(Amazon)
Napa Valley Sesame Oil amazon
$12Napa Valley Sesame Oil
(Amazon)
San-J Tamari amazon
$8San-J Tamari
(Amazon)
  • Top with Korean flavors. Sprinkle chopped green onions and red chili flakes on the final product.
