    Easy Kale Salad Recipe with Carrots and Purple Cabbage Slaw

    How do you make tasty alkaline salad recipes extra-nourishing and healing to our digestive system? This super alkaline salad is full of colourful vegetables and leafy greens you'd want to make a big batch of. Work this Easy Kale Salad Recipe with Carrots and Purple Cabbage Slaw into your weekly healthy meal prep for weight loss! 

    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    There's something about a delicious salad that is worth the extra effort to put together. Perfect alkalizing lunch is one of those. Adding one of our favourite alkaline salad dressing recipes (this Toasted Coconut Lemon Salad Dressing) over healthy green salads is a no-brainer.

    What Is Alkaline Diet?

    Alkaline foods have a pH higher than 7. Foods on the pH scale between pH 7-14 are alkaline. Foods on the pH scale between 0-6 are considered acidic. 

    Alkaline means that something has a pH higher than 7. The human body is about 7.4 pH. If the body becomes overly acidic, calcium depletes, weakening bones, osteoporosis, inflammation and kidney disorders.

    An Alkaline diet is eating foods with a pH between 7 and 14. Signup and download our FREE List of Alkaline Foods and instantly improve your gut health!

    Health Benefits of Alkaline Foods

    If you are wondering if it is better to eat acidic or alkaline foods, the answer is an alkaline diet helps improve overall health and maintain optimal health. Adding alkaline recipes into your regular rotation is not hard. 

    Some of the benefits of an Alkaline Diet include the following:

    • Reduces inflammation
    • Avoid weight gain 
    • Eliminate toxins
    • Promotes energy 
    • Improve kidney health
    • Inhibits the growth of yeast and bad bacteria
    Easy Kale Salad Recipe with Carrots and Purple Cabbage Slaw

    Are Salads Acidic or Alkaline?

    Healthy green salads with leafy vegetables have an alkaline effect on the body. Pair it with alkaline dressings for enhanced benefits.

    In fact, this delicious and nutritious everyday kale sale with carrots and purple cabbage salad is richly alkaline and high in fibre. 

    5 Health Benefits of Kale

    Kale is considered a superfood and is one of the most nutritious food we can eat. Fresh kale is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin K. Kale also has nutritional benefits that include:

    • Great source of vitamin K, which is absolutely critical for blood clotting
    • May prevents cancer 
    • High in Beta-Carotene to support eye health
    • Help Lower Cholesterol
    kale salad

    Type of Kale for Raw Kale Salads 

    Just one cup of chopped kale provides more than your daily recommended vitamins. Give fresh kale some love! 

    There are 7 varieties of kale:

    • Lacinato Kale aka Dinosaur Kale - dark green-bluish coloured slender leaves 
    • Common Curly Kale - pale to deep green coloured curly kale leaves
    • Ornamental aka Salad Savoy - white to pinkish-purple coloured rosette leaves
    • Red Russian aka Ragged Jack - bluish-green or purple coloured large overgrown oak leaves
    • Chinese Kale aka Chinese Broccoli (Gai Lan) - dark green coloured leaves with a long thick stem
    • Siberian Kale - gray-green ruffled leaves native to cold climates
    • Redbor Kale - Distant red leaves coloured curly leaves with deep purple veins. 

    I prefer to use Curly Kale, a common type of kale, in my everyday simple kale salad recipes. And reserve Black Kale, aka Tuscan Kale or Cavolo Nero, for making kale chips or sauteed fresh vegetables for an easy side dish. 

    Kale is easy to find at the grocery store or Whole Foods Market all year round.

     

    How Do You Make Raw Kale Tender?

    Give it a quick massage, so kale is not destined just for juicers. Massaged kale salad becomes tender, mild, and tastes less grassy. 

    Simply remove the kale leaves from the tough stems, add a generous pinch of salt and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and massage the kale leaves vigorously to break down the rugged texture.   

    Easy Kale Salad Recipe with Carrots and Purple Cabbage Slaw

    Ingredients and Substitutes

    • Curly Kale or Dinosaur Kale
    • Carrots
    • Purple Cabbage or green cabbage   
    • Chickpeas
    • Toasted Coconut and Lemon Salad Dressing 
    • Extra virgin olive oil
    • Pinch of salt (Himalayan salt preferred) 
    • Minced Cloves Garlic

    Optional Toppings and Garnishes

    • Pomegranate seeds  
    • Alfalfa sprouts 
    • Red onions
    • Red Chili Flakes
    • Chia seeds
    • Sunflower seeds
    • Lemon Zest

    Note: Avoid adding grated cheese shavings because dairy is high on the Acidic Food Chart and hemp hearts are mildly acidic.   

    How To Make Homemade Slaw

    After giving your kale an intense rubdown, it's time to prepare my favourite homemade slaw with carrots and fresh cabbages.

    This coleslaw portion of my favourite kale salad recipe is packed with fresh, lively flavours. Leftover cabbage cole slaw also works well into our weekly meal prep menu!

    What is the best cabbage to use? I love using purple cabbages, but feel free to sub in red or green cabbage.

    How To Cut Cabbage For Coleslaw

    Wash the head of the cabbage and remove bruised outer leaves.

    Cut the cabbage head into quarters, then into thin shreds. Feel free to use your box grater or food processor shredding attachment.

    Repeat with garden carrots to make the carrot slaw portion.

    This can also be meal prepped for any of your simple red cabbage salad recipes.

    I also highly recommend investing in a quality salad spinner. Drying your veggies thoroughly is so important after they are washed. It helps prevent watered-down salad dressings, and the salad stays fresher and longer!

    Recipe Shortcut: Use Bagged Coleslaw and Kale Mix

    Alternatively, you can buy bags of pre-shredded cabbage or coleslaw mix and baby kale at your local supermarket.

    Easy Kale Salad Recipe with Carrots and Purple Cabbage Slaw

    Make-Ahead Tips

    The easiest way to prepare this salad is to meal prep ahead of time.

    Vegetables can be shredded in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

    The salad dressing can also be made in advance the night before. 

    Assemble the Best Kale Salad

    Let's assemble the delicious kale salad recipe by adding kale, shredded cabbage and carrots to a large bowl.

    Our favourite homemade alkaline salad dressing is quick to make and calls for simple ingredients. This creamy, tangy dressing is amazingly tropical!

    When ready to mix up your Kale, Chickpeas, Carrot and White Cabbage salad, drizzle the Coconut Milk and Lemon Salad Dressing onto the salad a little at a time.

    I recommend adding salad dressing to the serving bowl with just the right amount of salad. Or serve the salad dressing in a small bowl on the side. This way, the salad will not get soggy and will stay fresh and extra crunchy as leftovers in the fridge.

    Top your hearty green salad with alfalfa sprouts (did you know you can grow alfalfa sprouts quickly at home?) and chia seeds.

    What To Serve With Kale Salad

    This superfood salad is packed with nutrients, an excellent clean-out fridge meal, and is easily customized. 

    Serve this fresh kale salad as a nutritious lunch, or enjoy it for dinner paired with your favourite protein. We love adding these easy Air Fryer salmon, miso-glazed halibut, and lemon pepper chicken wings. These are just a few easy recipes that immediately come to mind as excellent pairings!

    Vegan Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵 素食

    Jun 28, 2022 · 36 Comments

    Vegan Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵

    DanDanMian 擔擔麵 are boldly umami, vibrantly subtle and creamy. Traditional Sichuan noodle dish is saucy and spicy and packs flavour and texture of toasted sesame paste, Sichuan peppercorns, chilli oil, ground pork, pickled vegetables, bok choy and more. To transform this authentic recipe into a Plant-based Vegan Dan Dan Noodles Recipe, we use extra firm tofu to replace the meat (which we guarantee you won't miss)!

    Vegan Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    These Vegan Dan Dan Noodles are addictive. I love the tender noodles emulsified and wrapped with the richly creamy, nutty and spicy umami sauce. 

    What is Dan Dan Noodles

    Dandanmian 擔擔麵, literally "carrying pole noodles," originates from street food in Chengdu, the capital of the Sichuan province of China. Two baskets are carried on either side of the pole over the shoulders of the street vendors.

    There are many variations of this noodle dish. Some people serve their dan dan noodles in a creamy sesame broth, while others keep it authentic with no soup base but layered with a mala meat sauce like an easy lo mein. 

    Dandanmian vs Tantanmen Ramen

    Tantanmen is the Japanese version of dan dan noodles. Japanese tantanmen ramen noodles are highly influenced by Chinese cuisines. Both noodle recipe includes a spicy sesame sauce made with a delicious blend of sesame paste, Szechuan peppercorn, and chilli oil and topped with finely chopped green onions and blanched leafy greens.

    The Japanese take usually includes a miso meat sauce called nikumiso 肉味噌 finished in a spicy broth. Niku Miso is braised ground meat sauce seasoned with miso. If you are unfamiliar with miso, miso is Japanese fermented soybean paste. 

    Tantan Ramen 担々麵 is served as a Japanese ramen noodle soup with hot simmering stock of salt (shio ramen), soy sauce (shoyu ramen), or miso ramen broths, mixed together with unsweetened soy milk for a creamy finish. I used Earth's Own Barista oat milk for a more neutral but silky soup base profile.

    Vegan Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵

    Vegan Meat Mixture

    Vegetarian Dan Dan Noodles are one of those 30-minute frugal vegan recipes I've made countless times at home. Each time eyeballing the ingredients and playing it by ear. After a few requests, I finally took a little time to write down the main ingredient that goes into this homemade classic Sichuan dish.

    To make a simplified version of the vegan Dan-Dan Noodles recipe of the traditional dan dan noodles, we first start by substituting minced pork meat for extra firm tofu to make a vegan meat mixture. Extra-firm tofu is a humble yet versatile ingredient. The spicy tofu crumbles are excellent for vegan meat topping while maintaining the mouthfeel authenticity. 

    I also like using rehydrated shiitake mushrooms for my vegetable protein - they have a ton of umami bang! This vegan minced meat's crispy and golden brown texture is like the real deal of ground pork toppings.

    Pro Tip: Learn how to rehydrate and resuscitate shiitake mushrooms quickly  HERE.  

    To build up the umami-ness of the best vegan meat substitute, this Sichuan vegan meat mixture, I also like to add Sui Mi Ya Cai.

    Sui Mi Ya Cai 碎米芽菜

    One of the secret ingredients in Dan Dan Noodles is this fermented mustard green that has been pickled with a crunchy texture and a sweet, savoury, earthy umami flavour profile. It is dried and marinated with sugar and spices. 

    Sui Mi Ya Cai 碎米芽菜 can be purchased online or at your local Asian supermarket.

    Make this Fragrant Peppercorn Oil 萬用香料油秘方

    Homemade Spicy Chili Oil

    Every great spicy noodle recipe needs an MVP and is not complete without a delicious, numbingly spicy sauce such as our Homemade Fragrant Peppercorn Oil!

    It is not hard to make at home. But feel free to use store-bought chilli oil from the Asian market if you are pressed for time! 

    The soul of this Chinese Sichuan Cuisine is not only the spicy chilli oil but a flavorful sauce that is nutty and spicy with a touch of numbing umami. 

    Chinese Sesame Paste

    Chinese sesame paste (芝麻酱, zhima jiang) is a thick toasted sesame seed paste central to authentic Sichuan Dan Dan recipes. It is commonly used in Chinese cuisine for noodles, salads and even pastries. Its thick, nutty profile goes well with a dry, spicy sesame broth that helps balance the numbing spiciness of Sichuan peppercorns. The overall experience is mellower and creamier - your tastebuds feel less attacked! 

    Authentic and pure Chinese Sesame Paste is very different from Tahini, a Middle Eastern paste made from hulled, raw sesame seeds. It is unroasted and raw.

    What about Japanese sesame paste? Neri Goma (練りごま) is made from grinding roasted sesame seeds until they are finely ground. Similar to Chinese sesame paste, it has a roasted, nutty flavour.

    Do not be confused with the Japanese Kewpie's Deep-Roasted Sesame Dressing. This is not sesame paste and contains vinegar and other ingredients used for salad dressings in Japanese cuisine.

    Depending on the type of seeds used, there is a slight variation in taste and aroma between Chinese sesame paste vs Japanese sesame paste.

    You can find Chinese sesame paste in most Asian grocery stores. I like using Lee Kum Kee's sesame sauce.

    Type Of Noodles To Use

    A great alternative and an easy way if you find out last minute that you do not have Chinese sesame paste, just mix a few teaspoons of sesame oil with unsweetened peanut butter. This homemade peanut sauce will be the closest second to roasted Asian sesame paste.

    I recommend using medium-thick white noodles such as Yangchun noodles for this classic dish. You can find these fresh noodles commonly at major Asian grocery stores. 

    I do not recommend using thin noodles as they do not hold the sauce mixture well and tend to break easily.

    If you can not find this type of oriental style noodle, 

    udon noodles, ramen noodles, or any type of dried thin noodles will work.

    Of course, if you use Japanese ramen noodles, this dish instantly becomes more like a tan ramen recipe.

    • Chinese Five Spice Powder
    • Pinch of Salt and Ground White Pepper
    • Vegetable Oil

    You may also opt to use store-bought soy meat as your vegan meat alternative. However, I highly recommend you make your own vegan meat mixture - you only need a little time.

    Sesame Spicy Mixture

    • Vegetable oil
    • Cloves garlic, minced
    • Sichuan Peppercorns or Chilli Flakes - if you are using chilli flakes, note that they will not have the same numbing mala profile but is a good replacer if you are in a pinch
    • Peppercorn Chili Oil 花椒辣油 or our Homemade Fragrant Peppercorn Oil
    • Chinese Sesame Paste
    • Light Soy Sauce
    • Dark Soy Sauce
    • Brown Sugar
    • Chinkiang Vinegar (Chinese Black Vinegar) Do not use Balsamic Vinegar. It is not the same and is not a good substitute.
    • Douban Jiang (Spicy Broad Bean Paste) or Miso Paste, fermented soybean paste can be a good option

    You can make a big batch and store the rest of the sauce in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container. 

    Additional Garnishes

    • Finely Chopped Green Onion
    • Roasted Chopped peanuts
    • Fresh Green Onions
    • Pickled Vegetables
    • Finely Chopped Cilantro

    Instructions and Cooking Tips

    Vegan Minced Pork: Add vegetable oil over medium high heat in a large skillet or large wok. Once the oil is hot and simmer, add minced garlic and ginger and pan-fried until fragrant.

    Add crumbled plain tofu, rehydrated Shitake Mushrooms and Sui Mi Ya Cai into the frying pan. 

    Moving quickly, add seasoning sauce (Shaoxing Wine, sugar, Douban Jiang Chili paste, Chinese Five Spice Powder, and a pinch of salt and ground white pepper). Stir to combine. Cook for a few minutes until crumbly and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Cooking The Noodles: Add cold water into a large pot, and bring to a boil. Once the pot of water is boiling, cook fresh noodles according to package instructions. Remove from heat, drain and set aside cooked noodles. Reserve excess water.  

    While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sesame chilli sauce.

    Heat up vegetable oil and Sichuan Peppercorns in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is simmering (but not smoking), pour it over the minced garlic. Let cool to room temperature.   

    In a small bowl, prepare the rest of the sauce by adding the rest of the ingredients (peppercorn chilli oil or Fragrant Peppercorn Oil, Chinese sesame paste, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, Chinkiang Vinegar and Douban Jiang). Mix well to combine together. Set aside.

    Prepare Toppings: Blanch leafy green vegetables in a pot of lightly salted boiling water for one minute or less until vibrantly green. Remove from water and set aside.

    Assemble Dan Dan Spicy Noodles: The cooked noodles should be ready this time. Strain the noodles and reserve the cooking water in case the noodles get too dry.

    The key to this Chinese dish requires different layering of complex flavours. You can think of this Sichaun noodle recipe as having four parts: the noodles, the chilli oil mixture, the meat mixture and the toppings.

    Divide and add the noodles into two single-serving bowls. Top the noodles with about ¼ cup of the hot cooking water, a heaping spoonful of spicy sesame sauce, vegan meat mixture, and blanched baby bok choy. Garnish with crushed peanuts, finely chopped green onions, cilantro and more pickled vegetables.   

    Notes

    Authentic Dan Dan Noodles are made with white Chinese wheat noodles and are approximately ¼ inch thick. If you can not find any at your local Chinese grocer, Japanese thick ramen noodles are also lovely. 

    If this is the first time cooking with Sichuan Peppercorns, try adding half the portion and adjust. Sichuan peppercorns have a signature mala numbing profile.

    Don't be shy with your garnishes. I love adding loads of crushed roasted peanuts, pickled veggies, cilantro, thinly sliced spring scallions and extra veggies to my dandanmian!

    This vegan recipe tastes even better the next day cold as the flavours of this simplified version of dandan noodles develop overnight.

    What To Serve With Dan Dan Noodles

    Vegan Dan Dan Noodles 擔擔麵 are boldly umami, vibrantly subtle and creamy. Traditional Sichuan noodle dish is saucy and spicy and packs flavour and texture of toasted sesame paste, Sichuan peppercorns, chilli oil, ground pork, pickled vegetables, bok choy and more. To transform this authentic recipe into a Plant-based Spicy Noodles Recipe, we use extra firm tofu to replace the meat (which we guarantee you won't miss)!

    Make this Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Wings Recipe tonight! It is perfect for your next super bowl game day! 

    What is Lemon Pepper Seasoning?

    Lemon Pepper seasoning is fantastic! You must stock it in your pantry if you've never tried it! 

    This dry rub of lemon pepper salt makes these wings bright and zesty tasting! 

    Lemon Pepper Seasoning is a black pepper blend with dried lemon peel, garlic powder, and onion powder for a fresh, zingy twist!

    If you are a chicken wing lover, why not try these Soy Garlic Chicken Wings or Phnom Penh Cambodian Fried Chicken Wings. 

    EASY AIR FRYER LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS NOMSS

    How to Air Fryer Chicken Wings

    For this simple dry rub marinade, all you need is lemon pepper seasoning and extra salt. 

    No need for flour, baking powder or even potato starch to get your wings beautifully golden with an irresistible extra crispy skin!

    Place chicken wings and the seasoning in a resealable plastic bag (gallon-sized ziplock bag).

    Massage the chicken around the marinade to ensure it is evenly coated.  

    I usually prefer to let the fresh chicken wings marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator. 

    If you are in a hurry and do not have time to marinate. Just pat the wings dry with paper towels and add lemon pepper seasoning and salt in a large bowl.

    EASY AIR FRYER LEMON PEPPER CHICKEN WINGS NOMSS

    Ingredients and Substitute

    • Whole Chicken Wings or Wingettes Flatties or Drummies
    • Lemon Pepper Seasoning
    • Kosher Salt
    • Lemon Zest

    Instructions

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

    Use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the air fryer basket for easy clean-ups. 

    Place chicken wings in the basket of your air fryer basket. No need to brush with olive oil or spray with cooking spray. The chicken wings will give off enough oil for cooking.

    For even cooking, don't overcrowd the air fryer. Arrange the wings in a single layer.

    Depending on the air fryer model and the size of your air fryer, you can cook one pound of chicken wings in the air fryer in just 20 minutes of cooking time. I use THIS Ninja Foodi Air Fryer!

    Cook for 20 minutes at 400F until the crispy wings are golden brown or when the chicken is cooked until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Celcius or 329F. Check using a meat thermometer.

    Remember to flip halfway.

    Serve and enjoy!

    We love chicken wings. These crispy lemon pepper wings are so good you don't even need any dipping sauce like bbq sauce or melted butter! They are perfect for those on a keto diet!

    How To Reheat Crispy Chicken Wings

    Place wings in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    To make leftover fried chicken wings crisp again is simple. Reheat the leftover wings in the air fryer at 375F in a single layer for four minutes. Flipping halfway to ensure even cooking.

    Air Fryer Miso Glazed Halibut (Easy)

    Air Fryer Miso Glazed Halibut (Easy)

    This Easy Air Fryer Miso Glazed Halibut recipe is juicy and elegant with a sake butter sauce. Enjoy this restaurant-quality fish filet with a side of baby bok choy and your favourite white wine.

    This Nobu-inspired miso-marinated fish recipe uses sustainably harvested Halibut instead of black cod.

    Air Fryer Miso Glazed Halibut (Easy)
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    What is Halibut?

    Pacific Halibut is the largest flatfish in the ocean. Fresh Halibut is lean, mild in flavour and sweet tasting. Their fish flakes are delicious and packed with nutrients.

    Health Benefits of Halibut

    Halibut packs protein, selenium, niacin, phosphorus, magnesium, Vitamins B12, Vitamin B6, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids. Halibut health benefits include improving cardiovascular heart health and reducing dementia and breast cancer.

    Air Fryer Miso Glazed Halibut (Easy)

    Are Halibut Endangered?

    The Pacific halibut's numbers are stable and are not an endangered species, unlike the Atlantic halibut.

    The Atlantic halibut population has been a threatened species since 1996 and has been part of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) list since 1996. 

    We like our Halibut, caught by longline from Organic Ocean. Organic Ocean offers a variety of sustainably harvested wild fish and responsibly cultured seafood that’s vacuumed packed and portioned for easy meals, special occasions, and more.

    How to Cook Halibut

    Halibut is a versatile fish to prepare and is perfect for baking, broiling, grilling, steaming, poaching, and sautéeing. 

    Unlike the buttery black cod, Halibut is lean and doesn't take long to cook. Air-fried Halibut still turns juicy and tender. When ready, firm big flakes turn white. 

    Is Halibut Good in the Air Fryer?

    Halibut is a lean fish with white flesh and large flakes with a firm but tender texture. They taste wonderfully deep-fried in a halibut fish and chips recipe, grilled or en papillote baked. But my favourite cooking method is Air fryer halibut. In fact, this is one of my favourite healthy air fryer recipes for weight loss! It is Keto-Friendly and is an excellent source of protein and healthy fats!

    sweet white miso sauce Air Fryer Miso Glazed Halibut (Easy)

    Fresh or Frozen Halibut

    Both fresh fish and frozen halibut filets are great choices. 

    Frozen halibuts are convenient and excellent for emergency meals at home. 

    Defrost frozen halibut filet, wash and pat dry with a kitchen paper towel.

    Ingredients and Substitute

    • Halibut 
    • Sake or Rice Wine
    • Sweet White Miso Paste
    • Brown Sugar
    • Mirin
    • Butter
    • Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Cooking Spray
    • Sesame Oil, optional
    • Black sesame seeds, garnish

    Opt for lighter misos or reduced-sodium soybean paste if you prefer a cleaner palate. Or red miso fermented soybean paste for a richer profile.

    Black cod is an excellent halibut substitute.

    Instructions

    If using frozen Halibut, defrost frozen filets, wash and pat dry with a kitchen paper towel.

    Season fish with ground white pepper and salt.

    Prepare miso sauce in a small bowl. Add marinade ingredients (sake or rice wine, sweet white miso paste, butter, brown sugar and mirin).

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

    Use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the air fryer basket for easy clean-ups. 

    Place fish filet in the air fryer basket and brush sides of the fish with miso mixture. Spray with cooking spray.

    Cook for 7 minutes at 350F.

    Air Fryer Zucchini (Lemon Pepper)

    Air Fryer Zucchini with Lemon Pepper Seasoning is the best way to cook fresh summer squashes. Zucchinis are the perfect easy side dish suitable for Paleo, Whole30 plant-based keto diets and lifestyles. This quick and easy recipe is zesty, savoury, and so addicting that if you don't make a double batch, there will be no leftover zucchini!

    Is Zucchini Keto? Carbohydrates in Zucchini

    If you are looking for a keto-friendly vegetable, fresh Zucchini is your best side dish! With just a few simple ingredients, keto zucchini recipes are super easy to make! For every one-cup serving, Zucchini has just 3.9 grams of carbs or 2.6 grams of net carbs! 

    Zucchini vs Yellow Squash

    Every summer, I get one question: "What is the difference between Zucchini and Yello Squash?" Besides the noticeable difference in colour between the two vegetables, Zucchinis and Yellow Squashes are not the same. Yellow Squash is not a type of Zucchini.

    Zucchini, also known as courgette has a deep green soft skin with white flesh. Zucchinis are mainly straight.

    Yellow Squash, besides its distinguished bright yellow colour, this gourd family vegetable has a fat bottom and tapered top. 

    Both Zucchinis and Yellow Squashes are mild tasting, nutty flavour, and subtlely sweet, especially cooked. 

    How To Make Roasted Zucchini No Breading in Air Fryer

    Air frying achieves that perfectly roasted zucchini sweetness without using too much oil. Like Air Fryer Cauliflower and Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli, this perfect side dish of air-fried Zucchini without panko breadcrumbs is a crowd favourite!

    The secret to a flavourful roasted zucchini is just a few simple ingredients. Toss the summer squash with extra virgin olive oil, a dash of lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder and a pinch of salt for best results! No breading is required to keep this healthy side dish low-calorie, low carb and keto-friendly!

    Variations, Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Fresh Dark Green Zucchini
    • Lemon Pepper Seasoning
    • Garlic Powder
    • Kosher Salt

    A great option and flavour variation is to roast vegetables with Italian seasoning or try different seasonings like onion powder, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast for a vegan plant-based option. If you prefer to keep it simple, use traditional black pepper and sea salt! 

    Opt for a Dairy-Free Mayo. It is a healthy way to make your favourite dipping sauce like Garlic Aioli or Ranch Dressing. Serve it with a side of Zucchini Fries. It is a great low-carb alternative to traditional french fries or potato chips made in the deep fryer. 

    Zucchini SUMMER Squash

    Zucchini Benefits

    Is Zucchini a superfood? Zucchinis are a superfood because they are rich in Vitamin B6, which helps regulate blood glucose. They are rich in water and fibre and contain compounds such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which protect the eye's cells by filtering blue light wavelengths. These summer squashes promote healthy digestion by reducing constipation and symptoms of gut disorders.

    How To Cut A Zucchini

    There are many ways to cut and prepare zucchinis. Some like zucchini rounds, zucchinis slices, or zoodles (zucchinis noodles). I prefer to cut my Zucchini with the Japanese rangiri technique!

    What Is Rangiri Cutting Technique?

    Rangiri 乱切り - "round" cut is a primary cutting technique for cutting cylindrical vegetables by alternative diagonal cuts while rotating the vegetable one-quarter turn between cuts. This method allows even cut surfaces, uniform bite sizes, and surface area to improve flavour absorption.

    Air Fryer Zucchini (Lemon Pepper)

    How Air Fry Zucchinis

    You only need 15 minutes to make this delicious air fryer zucchini recipe! 

    Wash and dry zucchini with a kitchen towel.

    Cut the Zucchinis into one-inch cubes. No need to peel them. 

    Cutting the zucchinis into bite-sized cubes prevents the air fryer vegetables from becoming too soggy. 

    Pro Tip: If you cut the Zucchini slices too thin, they will get watery and soggy. 

    Toss with extra virgin olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, garlic powder and a dash of salt in a large mixing bowl.

    Place the seasoned zucchinis in the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook until crisp and golden brown. Do not overcrowd. Repeat the process and cook in batches if the zucchinis do not all fit.

    No need to brush the bottom of your air fryer basket with a little bit of oil or use a cooking spray. There is plenty of oil already with the seasoned vegetable.

    Air Fryer Tip: The best way to avoid messy clean-ups is to use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan.

    Best Air Fryer Cooking Method and Tips

    This small kitchen appliance can be intimidating if you've never cooked with an air fryer before. 

    However, I swear by its convenience and versatility and rapidly circulating hot air to cook crispy food without too much oil!

    Here are a few tips for anyone who has (or is planning on getting) an air fryer!

    What is the best temperate to air fry zucchinis?

    To make next level crispy air fryer zucchinis, it is best to air fry summer squashes at 400F to mimic the high heat temperature of a roaster. Don't worry! Your baby marrow will still be tender with just the right about of char.

    How long should I air fry zucchinis?

    Zucchini cooks for 15 minutes with a beautiful char, depending on the size and thickness of the zucchini slices. This also depends on the model and size of your air fryer oven, so you may want to reduce or increase the air frying time by one to two minutes.

    Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

    Based on experience, you should always preheat the air fryer before filling it with food. Doing this makes the air fryer's temperature more consistent, and your food will cook more evenly. Simply preheat your air fryer for two to three minutes before cooking.

    How to choose the right air fryer?

    Choosing the right air fryer for your kitchen depends on your lifestyle, available counter space, and if you intend to cook small or big-batched meals. We like the supersized XL pressure cooker and 7.6L cooking pot that is big enough to cook a small chicken, air fryer potstickers or one large head of broccoli inside like THIS Ninja Foodi Air Fryer! 

    How to clean air fryers easily?

    Use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan for easy clean-ups. Then wash the air fryer basket with warm soapy water.

    Air Fryer Zucchini (Lemon Pepper)

    What To Serve With Lemon Pepper Air Fryer Zucchinis

    • Vegan Korean Spicy Beef Stew (Yukgaejang) 
    • Easy Vegan Fried Rice with Mushrooms 
    • Creamy Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes (Vegan)

    This crispy roasted zucchini air fryer recipe is a great low carb alternative to pan-frying with lots of oil. It is a delicious way to enjoy seasonal vegetables paired during barbecue parties, family gatherings, and Thanksgiving!

    Easy Vegan Unagi Don (Eggplant Unadon) うなぎ丼

    Jun 1, 2022 · 86 Comments

    vegan unagi don eggplant kabayaki うなぎ丼

    The sweet caramelized silkiness of a Homemade Vegan Unagi Don (Eggplant Kabayaki) うなぎ丼 is irresistible with a sticky, savory sauce. This easy plant-based Japanese grilled eel rice bowl will melt and explode in your mouth with umami flavours in just 15 minutes! Dust it with green onions, sesame seeds, and nori flakes to make it look like the real deal!

    vegan unagi don eggplant kabayaki うなぎ丼
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    What is Unagi Donburi?

    The Japanese grilled eel rice bowl is called Unagi Donburi, Unagi Don, or Unadon, and it is prevalent in Japan. It is one of my favourite dishes to order at Japanese restaurants. 

    Sometimes, when the unagi is served in a fancy lacquered square box, jubako (重箱), it is called Unaju (鰻重).

    Since the Edo period, Unagi no Kabayaki (蒲焼) aka grilled eel, has been a popular way to cook seafood (1603 - 1868). The ingredient is first gutted, split, boned and butterflied before marinating in a sweet kabayaki sauce.

    Unagi no kabayaki is served over freshly steamed sushi rice. If you serve the grilled Japanese eel separately, it is called nagayaki.

    Is Unagi Sauce Vegan?

    Fortunately, the traditional eel sauce is vegan and can be made with household pantry staples. 

    It is called "eel sauce because it is often used to glaze Japanese freshwater eel.

    What Is Kabayaki Sauce?

    Kabayaki sauce is a sweet soy sauce glaze used to coat fish. The unagi sauce is vibrant, sweet, savory and sticky. When cooked, it is subtly caramelized. 

    The homemade unagi sauce is easy to make with just four ingredients: dark soy sauce, mirin, sake or rice wine and brown sugar.

    Typically the golden ratio is 1:1:1:1 for each component. Feel free to adjust the ratios to your own desire. Personally, I prefer the sauce to be less salty and would use a ½ ratio.

    Traditional kabayaki sauce may also include eel bones and eel skin.

    Difference between Teriyaki Sauce and Kabayaki Sauce

    The two Japanese sauces are basically the same. They are both made with soy sauce, sake, sugar and mirin. 

    However, the "tare sauce" is reserved for ingredients like chicken, yellowtail hamachi, or tuna in Japanese cooking. While the Kabayaki may include eel, sanma saury fish, iwashi sardines.

    vegan unagi don eggplant kabayaki うなぎ丼

    The Secret Seasoning: Sansho Pepper

    To add an extra kick to your grilled unagi, sprinkle ground Japanese sansho pepper on top of the eggplant. 

    Sansho peppers are similar in taste to Sichuan peppercorns but lighter and have a hint of lemony flavour that is addictive. 

    Sansho is an essential ingredient for those who crave authentic Japanese cooking. The extra spice adds brightness and reduces the richness of oily eels.

    vegan unagi don eggplant kabayaki うなぎ丼

    How To Make Vegan Eggplant Unagi Kabayaki?

    Traditionally, eels are inexpensive and an everyday meal. However, due to the eel population becoming endangered and shortages, eels are becoming more expensive and non-sustainable. 

    Alternatively, other dietary choices prevent them from eating fish. 

    So whether your preference is to consume plant-based only foods or are simply a fan of eggplant, you will know that this nightshade vegetable is the perfect plant-based fish alternative. 

    Eggplants are fantastic eel substitutes for a vegan version of unagi don because of their silky and creamy texture. Glazed and grilled eggplants with unagi Kabayaki sauce, it shockingly resembles so much the real thing!

    Some people also use firm tofu as an eggplant variation, but it doesn't nearly come as close as peeled eggplant.

    What Type of Eggplants to Use?

    What is the difference between Japanese eggplant and regular eggplant? Choose long, dark purple eggplants for this vegan unagi don (eggplant kabayaki) recipe. 

    However, if you do not see this at the Chinese grocery stores and local Asian market, opt for Japanese eggplants that are slightly smaller and stubbier. 

    Both eggplant varieties are excellent for grilling, braising and stir-fry.

    American eggplants are also known as globe eggplants. They are darker and wider with my girth.

    Just choose one that is fresh and readily available. This vegan unagi don eggplant kabayaki is an easy recipe that is super forgiving!

    Eggplant Benefits

    Is eggplant a superfood? Eggplants are considered a superfood because of their low calorie and sodium profile. This purple vegetable is an excellent source of antioxidants and minerals, flavonoids (Vitamin P), dietary fibre, potassium, and B vitamins.

    How To Cook Eggplants for Japanese-Style Vegan Unagi

    There are a few ways to prepare the eggplants. You may want to cook the eggplant in a microwave or oven.

    Microwave Method:

    Eggplant usually takes a long time to cook or uses a large amount of oil. Cooking eggplants in the microwave is an excellent shortcut to softening eggplant quickly, leaving them tender and creamy. This classic preparation is ready in just 8 minutes to use today's recipe.

    Rinse and cut in half lengthwise. Cut the eggplants into 5" chunks if it doesn't fit in the dish.

    With a fork or toothpick, poke a few holes all around the eggplant. 

    Place the eggplants in a microwave-safe dish (I like using the Anyday dish and cover with the lid and knob lifted)!

    Cook in the microwave for 8 minutes or until eggplant is tender.

    Steam Method:

    Place eggplants in a steamer and steam for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway.

    Oven Method:

    Alternatively, you may want to roast the whole eggplant on a baking sheet in the oven at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes or until the eggplant is tender.

    Pro Tip: Peel the eggplant after being cooked and cooled down. Gently split, butterflied and peel the eggplant skin back. Score the eggplant unagi a few times.

    Alternatively, some prefer to cut off the stem of the eggplant and peel the skin with a vegetable peeler.

    Stovetop Method:

    Heat oil in a nonstick skillet at medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, place the eggplants with the seed side down. Sear the eggplants for 6 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway.

    Cooking eggplants on the stovetop adds a nice malty, smoky flavor but requires a little bit more oil from time to time to prevent burning. You can also use a butane kitchen torch. 

    Prepare The Vegan Unagi Sauce

    While the eggplants are cooking, prepare the vegan unagi kabayaki sauce ingredients (sake or rice wine, mirin, dark soy sauce and brown sugar0) together in a small bowl. Set aside.

    Once the eggplants are cooked and skins removed, it is time to glaze the vegan unagi eggplant stripes.

    vegan unagi don eggplant kabayaki うなぎ丼

    How To Glaze Eggplant Unagi

    In a nonstick frying pan, heat vegetable oil at medium high heat. 

    Add peeled eggplants (seed side down) and gentle sear until golden brown. Skip this step if the eggplants was cooked using the stove top method.

    Add in vegan unagi sauce and evenly coat the eggplant strips. Reduce the sauce to desired consistency. Basting the eggplants frequently. 

    Serve and enjoy over a bead of rice freshly cooked from the rice cooker. 

    Garnish and sprinkle ground sansho pepper, sesame seeds, Furikake seasoning, nori flakes or finely chopped green onions for the ultimate unagi bowls to impress your vegan friend. 

    Alternatively, you may want to serve the grilled Japanese vegan eel separately with a bowl of white rice and nori side dishes. It is one of the best way to entertain with easy recipes like this!

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞

    May 25, 2022 · 49 Comments

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞

    Making Chinese soya sauce chicken at home is very easy. This Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs recipe 氣炸鍋豉油雞 gets the chicken perfectly charred, sticky, and moist inside! All you need is 20 minutes, and you can wrap your fingers around this restaurant-quality marinated crispy chicken you are so used to ordering for Chinese take-out!

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    What is Soy Sauce Chicken?

    The Soy Sauce Chicken (豉油雞, Chǐ yóu jī) is an iconic favourite Chinese take-out dish. This sweet, savoury, sticky marinated chicken is standard at many Chinatown BBQ Master 燒臘店. The chicken skin is plump and the meat juicy. It is next to the Barbecue Pork Char Siu, with roasted ducks and pork.

    What is Air Fry Soy Sauce Chicken?

    If the traditional Cantonese soy sauce chicken 豉油雞 and Chinese Fried Chicken 炸子雞 had a baby, it would be this Air Fry Soy Sauce Chicken recipe.

    This easy homemade soy chicken in the air fryer is sweet and savoury with crisp skin!

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞

    What Cuts of Chicken Do You Use For Soy Sauce Chicken?

    When choosing which cut of chicken to use for making Chinese Soya Sauce Chicken recipes, typically soy sauce chicken, is made with a whole chicken.

    I prefer a lovely boneless chicken thigh with the skin on for easy meals at home.

    Western grocery stores do not always carry boneless chicken thighs with skin on. You can always ask your local Chinese chicken shop owners for a specific cut. 

    From experience, I find the boneless chicken thighs with skin yield the best results for the juiciest chicken thigh recipes!

    You can also substitute this recipe with boneless skinless chicken thighs or skinless chicken breasts if you don't want it to be so fatty. However, you will not get that cooked chicken with crispy skin enjoyment!

    I've also tried chicken drumsticks, and they were equally fantastic!

    I would save your chicken wings for this easy 8-minute Microwave Chicken Wings Recipe instead!

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞

    Easy Soy Sauce Chicken Air Fryer Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Boneless Chicken Thigh with Skin On
    • Vegetable Oil or Cooking Spray

    Marinade Ingredients

    • Light Soy Sauce
    • Dark Soy Sauce
    • Shaoxing Wine
    • Ground White Pepper
    • Sugar or Honey
    • Minced Garlic (or garlic powder if you do not have fresh Garlic)
    • Five Spice Powder 

    For this simple marinade, you do not need many ingredients typically required to poach whole soy chicken like star anise, ginger, green onions, and rose-flavoured wine (Mei Guilu). You do not even need corn starch to thicken the sauce.

    Substitute regular soy sauce for low-sodium soy sauce if you do not want the air fryer chicken thighs to be too salty.

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞

    How To Cook Soy Sauce Marinated Chicken in Air Fryer 

    Mix simple marinade in a small mixing bowl to combine. Set aside.

    Wash chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels.

    Place chicken thighs and the simple marinade in a resealable plastic bag (gallon-sized ziplock bag).

    Massage the chicken around the marinade to ensure it is evenly coated. 

    Let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes hours. 

    How Long Do You Air Fry Chicken Thighs?

    Depending on the air fryer model, you can cook chicken thighs in the air fryer in just 20 minutes (I use THIS Ninja Foodi air fryer!)

    Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for two minutes. Preheating the air fryer yields a more even cooking heat distribution.

    Brush the bottom of your air fryer basket with a little bit of oil or use a cooking spray. The best way to avoid messy clean-ups is to use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan.

    Place the air fryer chicken thighs boneless, skin-on facing up in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

    You can air-fry the chicken with a little sauce on it.

    Air Fry Honey Soy Chicken at 390 Degrees F (390°F) for 18 minutes. No need to flip halfway.

    Remove air fryer chicken thighs carefully with kitchen tongs. Place cooked chicken thighs on a cutting board and cut them into chicken pieces.

    Serve with white rice, and stir-fry bok choy, and you've got a delicious dinner for the whole family!

    Best Air Fryer Method Tips

    If you've never cooked with an air fryer before, this small kitchen appliance can be intimidating. However, I swear by its convenience and versatility and rapidly circulating hot air to cook crispy food without using too much oil!

    Here are a few tips for anyone who has (or is planning on getting) an air fryer!

    1. What is the best temperate to air fry chicken thighs?

    It is best to air fry chicken thighs at 390F to mimic the high heat temperature of a roaster. Don't worry! Your roasted chicken will still be tender with just the right about of char.

    2. How long should I air fry soy chicken?

    Depending on the size and the thickness of the chicken you put into the air fryer, 18 minutes should cook it thoroughly with a beautiful char. This also depends on the model of your air fryer, so you may want to reduce or increase the air frying time by one to two minutes.

    3. Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

    Based on experience, you should always preheat the air fryer before filling it with food. By doing this, the air fryer's temperature is more consistent, and your food will cook more evenly. Simply preheat your air fryer for two to three minutes before cooking.

    4. How to choose the right air fryer?

    Choosing the right air fryer for your kitchen depends on your lifestyle, available counter space, and if you intend to cook small or big batch meals. For us, we like the supersized XL pressure cooker and 7.6L cooking pot that is big enough to cook a small chicken, 12 potstickers or one large broccoli inside like THIS Ninja Foodi Air Fryer!

    5. How to clean air fryers easily?

    Use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan for easy clean-ups. Then wash the air fryer basket with warm soapy water.

    Easy Chinese Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Thighs 氣炸鍋豉油雞

    Easy Chinese Freezer Meal Prep

    This Air Fryer Soy Sauce Chicken Recipe is healthy and effortless to make. Because the chicken thighs are boneless, parents can rest assured that it is also a kid-friendly freezer meal.

    Simply place the marinated chicken in the freezer. When you are ready to defrost the chicken for your busy weeknight dinner, your chicken will be marinating in the fridge!

    Easy Air Fryer Potsticker from Frozen 氣炸鍋餃子鍋貼

    May 24, 2022 · 22 Comments

    Air Fryer Potsticker and Gyoza from Frozen 氣炸鍋 餃子鍋貼

    Crispy dumplings, Gyozas and Potstickers, are one of my favourite food. They are straightforward to put together. Dumpling fillings come in many variations suitable for vegans, vegetarians and even carnivores! Air Fryer Potstickers from Frozen is my new favorite way to enjoy these great appetizers in just 8 minutes! 

    Air Fryer Potsticker and Gyoza from Frozen 氣炸鍋 餃子鍋貼
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    Potstickers, Gyozas, Dumplings and Mandu

    Potstickers, Gyozas, Dumplings, and Mandu are different names for delicious tiny pockets of dough wrappers with vegetable or meat filling inside.

    Potstickers, aka gyoza, are crispy and usually pan-fried.

    Chinese dumplings are categorized into two camps: Jiǎozi (餃子) and

    Guōtiē (鍋貼). Jiaozi is typically steamed or boiled, while Guotie is usually pan-fried. 

    Mandu is a type of dumpling in Korea. Korean dumplings can be cooked both by steaming and pan-frying.  

    How to cook dumplings depend on your personal preference. There is no wrong way to prepare them. I enjoy different dumplings, like these Easy Vegan Dumplings recipe with my favorite dipping soy sauce. They are perfect whenever I need a quick snack or an easy meal!

    If I want to make dumplings at home, where can I buy potsticker wrappers? Major grocery stores and Asian markets will have frozen dumpling wrappers in the freezer section. The standard potsticker wrappers come in square and round-sized dumpling wrappers.

    Air Fryer Potsticker and Gyoza from Frozen 氣炸鍋 餃子鍋貼

    How To Make Air Fry Potstickers 

    Homemade dumplings are cheap healthy freezer meals that freeze and reheat well! Growing up, I would sit around the kitchen dining table with my grandma and aunties, folding hundreds of little dumplings to make healthy freezer meals for a month. You would never just make one dumpling!

    How Long Do You Air Fry Frozen Potsticker? 

    Depending on the air fryer model, you can cook frozen dumplings in the air fryer in just six to eight minutes (I use THIS air fryer!) 

    Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for two minutes. 

    Brush the bottom of your air fryer basket with a little bit of oil or use a cooking spray. The best way to avoid messy clean-ups is to use air fryer parchment paper and line the bottom of the pan.

    Place the frozen dumplings in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with a tiny bit of oil. I like to use a neutral vegetable oil like (canola oil spray).

    Air fry frozen dumplings at 375F for eight minutes. Flipping halfway at the 4-minute mark. Air fry until golden brown.

    Pro Tip: add a couple tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer tray. The water will help steam and moisten the dumpling skin!

    Next time, if you are looking for a healthier option to cook frozen dumplings, Air Fryer pot stickers are a great way to make this side dish in less time. It is also much healthier than deep-frying!

    Air Fryer Potsticker and Gyoza from Frozen 氣炸鍋 餃子鍋貼

    Can You Cook Fresh Potstickers In Air Fryer?

    Fresh homemade dumplings take even less cooking time in the air fryer. Air fry freshly made gyzoas for five to six minutes. Flipping halfway.

    How To Store Leftover Potstickers

    Don't worry if you made extra air fryer frozen dumplings. Leftover potstickers are excellent as easy meals to freeze and reheat in the microwave the next day!

    If you wonder how long leftover potstickers last in the fridge, you can store cooked dumplings in an airtight container for up to three to four days. However, mine never lasts that long! After all, they are one of my favorite meal.

    Air Fryer Potsticker and Gyoza from Frozen 氣炸鍋 餃子鍋貼

    Where Can You Buy Frozen Potstickers?

    One of the easiest ways to have an easy lunch is to stock up on frozen potstickers. You can buy frozen dumplings at your local Asian grocery or supermarket. One of my favourite brands is Bibigo Mandu Frozen Dumplings. The Mandu Beef Bulgogi is so juicy!! 

    What To Serve With Air Fry Dumplings

    Air fryer frozen potstickers is a great appetizer to serve with a family meal or freezer meals for one when you are looking for a delicious snack.

    Crispy dumplings, Gyozas and Potstickers, are one of my favourite food. They are straightforward to put together. Dumpling fillings come in many variations suitable for vegans, vegetarians and even carnivores! Air Fryer Potstickers from Frozen is my new favorite way to enjoy these great appetizers in just 8 minutes!

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for two minutes.

    Easy Vegan Fried Rice with Mushrooms 生炒牛肉飯 (素食)

    Fried Rice with Minced Beef 生炒牛肉飯 (素食) is one of the epitomai of Hong Kong-style restaurants' top ten favorite Chinese takeout dish. We used a sustainable option plant-based egg substitute to make this egg-free Easy Vegan Fried Rice with Mushrooms Recipe with Just Egg.

    What Is Authentic Chinese Beef Fried Rice 生炒牛肉飯? 

    The easy beef fried rice is one of my favourite Chinese takeout dishes to order. This appetizing fried rice recipe is packed with leftover rice gently coated with delicious eggs, marinated beef, green onions, sesame oil, and maybe some shredded lettuce. Each bite bursts with flavour. 

    The traditional method of making this classic Cantonese ground beef rice bowl is to marinate the beef with dark soy sauce, water, salt, baking soda and cornstarch. This is how Chinese restaurants tenderize their beef and eliminate the gamey taste of beef.

    How To Make Vegan Minced Beef Fried Rice With Egg Replacer

    Vegetarian ground beef fried rice is an easy main dish to make at home with an egg replacer. It is an inexpensive crowd pleasure and a cheap meal prep idea to be added to your weekly meal prep menu.

    Choose either plant-based egg powder alternatives or a ready-made liquid egg substitute like Just Egg.

    We used Just Egg liquid, and Just Egg folded plant eggs patties to replace whole eggs.

    We also used diced King oyster mushrooms and Enoki mushrooms to mimic the meaty texture of ground beef.

    Some people like to use firm tofu and turmeric powder to make a tofu scramble as an egg substitute.

    Just Egg Fried Rice Recipe Ingredients and Substitutions

    The following ingredients are a good starting base for making traditional Cantonese fried rice with just egg and soy sauce.

    • Vegan Egg Replacer 
    • Leftover white rice or brown rice
    • King Oyster Mushrooms
    • Enoki Mushrooms
    • Ground White Pepper
    • Green Spring Onions
    • Dark Soy Sauce
    • Vegetable Oil or Neutral Tasting Oil (not olive oil)
    • Brown Sugar
    • Yellow Onion
    • cilantro for garnish (optional)
    • Lettuce (optional)
    • Frozen Vegetables like peas and corn (optional)

    Just Egg folded

    Just Egg Review

    We first tested Just Egg's convenient liquid form for our Best Vegan Egg Flower Soup Recipe.

    We love that Just Egg is made in Canada and is high in protein with less saturated fat. Just Egg ingredients contain no cholesterol, no industrial chicken farms, and no artificial flavours.  

    One serving of Just Egg liquid (three tablespoons) only has 70 calories and 1 gram of carbohydrates which is pretty nice if you count your macros on a keto diet! 

    The application works better for the vegan simple egg fried rice than for our vegan egg flower soup. The egg liquid was able to coat the individual grains of rice like real eggs.

    Just Egg Folded Review

    On the other hand, we liked the convenience of popping a packet of Just Egg Folded plant eggs into the kitchen counter oven and achieving that perfect egg sandwich on an English muffin feeling.

    Every 57 grams serving of Just Egg Folded plant eggs has 3 grams of carbs, 7 grams of protein and 100 calories.

    Tips on How To Make the Best Egg Fried Rice

    Perfect rice is quick and easy to make. 

    But if you don't want your fried rice to end up soggy, here are some helpful tips to make Next-Level Fried Rice!

    Cold rice is critical! A good choice is to get takeout rice or leave your freshly cooked white rice in the fridge overnight. Freshly cooked rice is too wet for making good fried rice. The day-old rice is perfectly dried the next day. 

    Remove the clumps in the leftover rice. A great way is to spend a little time and use your hands to work thru the rice. 

    Now your rice is ready to move around quickly in the wok!

    How To Cook The Best Plantbased Beef Fried Rice Recipe

    Ensure you have enough leftover cold rice. 

    An easy way to cook folded Just Egg patties is to pop one to two packets of Just Egg folded eggs into the toaster oven at 425F for 15 minutes. Once it is nicely toasted, remove it from the oven and dice it into little bite-size pieces.

    While the plant-based egg alternatives are cooking, prepare the other ingredients. 

    Wash and finely dice green onions, yellow onions, King Oyster Mushrooms, and Enoki Mushrooms.

    Marinate diced mushrooms, dark soy sauce, salt, and ground white pepper in a medium bowl.

    Once the Just Egg folded patties are almost done cooking, you can start stir-frying your vegan egg fried rice.

    Heat a little oil in a carbon steel wok, large skillet or non-stick pan at medium-high heat.

    Sweat out the yellow onions in the hot wok to enhance their naturally sweet flavours. 

    Add leftover rice to the wok and gently fold. Be careful not to break the rice with the spatula. 

    Evenly pour Just Egg liquid over the rice and continue folding until each grain of rice is evenly coated. 

    Add previously diced Just Egg folded patties into the rice. Mix well. 

    Add marinated mushrooms and drizzle soy sauce to the side of the large wok. 

    Add vegan oyster sauce and mix well. This will keep the vegan minced beef fried rice dry, fragrant and full of wok hei!

    Serve and plate.

    Add finely chopped green onions or cilantro on top of your perfect eggy masterpiece!

    Easy Homemade Vegan Egg Drop Soup with Just Egg 蛋花湯

    May 17, 2022 · 37 Comments

    Easy Homemade Vegan Egg Drop Soup with Just Egg 蛋花湯

    Homemade Vegan Egg Drop Soup 蛋花湯 is a simple Cantonese recipe standard at Chinese restaurants. This vegan, vegetarian egg flower soup is an easy, versatile and nutritious alternative to make in just 15 minutes.

    Easy Homemade Vegan Egg Drop Soup with Just Egg 蛋花湯
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    What Is Authentic Egg Drop Soup? 

    The name "Egg Drop Soup" is the literal action of dropping a steady stream of raw eggs into hot soup. The direct translation from Chinese is Egg Flower Soup (蛋花湯, dàn huātāng). As the egg drops into the chicken stock hot soup, the egg creates beautiful egg ribbons, fluffy swirls and flower-like patterns.

    The names "egg drop" and "egg flower" soup are the same and used interchangeably.

    There are many variations to Chinese restaurant style egg drop soup. Some make Chicken and Corn Egg Drop soup. Others make green onions and mushrooms or Chinese Tomato Egg Soup.

    How To Make Vegetarian Egg Drop Soup With Egg Replacer

    When it comes to Chinese soups, there are two categories; 1. stewed soup and 2. quick-boiled soup. 

    Vegetarian Egg Drop Soup is a quick-boiled soup that is easy to make at home with an egg replacer. It is an inexpensive crowd pleasure and a cheap meal prep idea to be added to your weekly meal prep menu.

    Choose either plant-based egg powder alternatives or a ready-made liquid egg subsitute like Just Egg.

    Some people like to add silken tofu or use it as an egg alternative. 

    Classic Egg Drop Soup Ingredients and Substitutions

    The following ingredients is a good starting base to make Cantonese traditional egg drop soup vegetarian style.

    • Vegan Egg Replacer
    • Shitake Mushrooms
    • Enoki Mushrooms
    • Fresh Ginger 
    • Grounded White Pepper
    • Green Onion
    • Corn starch or potato starch
    • Light Soy Sauce or Tamari Sauce (Gluten-Free)
    • Vegetable Broth or Vegan Chicken Broth
    • Water
    Just Egg Substitutes Brands

    Where To Buy Vegan Egg Alternatives

    Choose the best vegan egg substitute that you prefer. Most raw egg substitutes do not have that eggy flavor, and the egg yolks' colour comes from turmeric powder or food colouring. 

    Egg Substitute Brands

    • Just Egg
    • DIY Plant-Based Egg by Kappa Foods
    • Ener-G Egg Replacer
    • Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer
    • Namaste Foods Egg Replacer

    One thing to note is that not all egg replacers are suitable for all cooking applications. Some egg substitutes for frying chicken, some plant-based egg substitutes for baking and some work for making simple egg drop soup recipes.

    Where To Buy Plant-based Egg Alternatives

    You can find most egg replacers and Just Egg substitutes in the egg aisle at your local grocery stores.

    Just Egg Review

    We used Just Egg's convenient liquid form for our best egg flower soup recipe vegan style. I love that Just Egg is made in Canada. Just Egg ingredients contain no cholesterol, no industrial chicken farms, and no artificial flavors. They are high in protein with less saturated fat.

    Just Egg products are easy to use and conveniently packaged. Three tablespoons only have 70 calories and 1 gram of carbohydrates which is pretty nice if you are counting your macros on a keto diet! 

    Easy Homemade Vegan Egg Drop Soup with Just Egg 蛋花湯

    How To Make A Good Egg Drop Soup With Just Eggs Tips

    While making this easy egg drop soup, note that your egg replacers will not yield delicate ribbons of egg flower swirls. 

    If you pour the Just Egg liquid directly into the boiling mushroom veggie broth, it looks like miso soup. The Just Egg liquid will be cloudy in the boiling broth, it will not form egg strands and will not create that egg drop soup yellow colour. 

    Instead, it is crucial to cooking the Just Egg breakfast scramble first on a nonstick skillet on medium heat.

    Alternatively, you can pour the egg alternative liquid into a bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds. Do not have it to water. It will only turn into microwaved yellow water.

    Easy Homemade Vegan Egg Drop Soup with Just Egg 蛋花湯

    How To Cook The Best Vegan Egg Drop Soup Recipe

    The Egg flower soup recipe with corn starch is one of the quickest recipes you can make to complete a meal.

    Resuscitate shiitake mushrooms quickly by following the instructions HERE.

    Use reserved soaked mushroom water and vegetable broth to make the cornstarch slurry. I like to use soaked mushroom water for extra umami. Dissolving the cornstarch ahead is helpful so that it doesn't clump up in the boiling soup.

    Add vegetable broth or vegan chicken broth and cold water to a medium pot. 

    Add sliced shitake mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, green onions and the remaining seasoning ingredients (minced ginger, soy sauce, and ground white pepper) to the pot and bring to a boil at medium-high. 

    While the soup base is cooking, prepare vegan egg flowers by cooking a breakfast scramble with egg replacers like Just Egg. 

    Just Egg breakfast scramble, add five tablespoons of Just Egg to a nonstick skillet on medium heat. Scramble like an egg. Use a spatula to occasionally scrape and pull the mixture across the pan to desired half-cooked consistency until it resembles thin steams of beaten eggs dropped in hot soup. Remove from heat. Reserve for later.

    Once the mushroom veggie broth comes to a boil, stir in cornstarch slurry.

    Stir in vegan egg substitute.

    Serve and enjoy.

    To complete this vegan egg drop soup recipe, garnish with finely chopped green onions and cilantro!

    Easy Chinese Poached Spot Prawns 白灼蝦

    May 15, 2022 · 49 Comments

    ow to Cook and Eat Spot Prawns

    Chinese Poached Spot Prawns 白灼蝦 is one of the simplest and tastiest ways to enjoy the sweet, buttery and delicate flavours of BC Spot Prawns. It takes 5 minutes for Chinese restaurant quality easy recipes at home! Serve and enjoy with plain rice and shrimp dipping sauce!

    ow to Cook and Eat Spot Prawns
    [feast_advanced_jump_to]

    What Are Spot Prawns?

    Wild B.C. spot prawns are known for their vibrant reddish-orange color with white stripes on the legs and distinctive white spots on the tail. Spot prawn season only come for a limited short season. The harvest season only lasts six to eight weeks in the month of May. Spot prawns are trap caught off the Pacific Coast of North America from San Diego to the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. They are sometimes referred to as Alaska spot prawns or "The Lobster of Alaska." They have the highest quality prawn meat.

    Where Can You Buy Spot Prawns

    You can buy and pre-order these succulent prawns at your local grocery stores, Asian markets, or local spot prawns vendors. Frozen spot prawns are also available year round in Canada.

    Health Benefits of Spot Prawns. 

    Spot Prawns are high in amino acids, omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, selenium, iodine and astaxanthin antioxidants.

    raw spot prawns

    Tiger Prawns vs Spot Prawn Substitutes 

    If you can not get fresh spot prawns, you can also substitute them with other varieties of shrimp, like tiger shrimp with shells.  

    When it is not live spot prawns season, we usually use large jumbo range size shrimps of 16 to 20 shrimp per pound (U-16/20).

    Tiger shrimps are significantly larger compared to spot prawns. These large shrimp has a meaty and firm texture, whereas spot prawns are delicate and with a melt-in-your-mouth buttery bouncy texture. Fresh shrimp are great for grilling during barbecue season.

    Mud Line On The Back Of The Shrimp

    The black line on the back of the shrimp is the intestinal tract of the prawn. It is more pleasant to eat if it is removed. Use a small paring knife and cut along the outer, thickest part of the shrimp of the back of the raw shrimp. Remove the vein.

    How To Store Spot Prawns Before Cooking

    The best way to preserve fresh live shrimp before cooking is to remove the head. 

    After removal of the heads helps maintain the freshness of the shrimp. Keep them in a container and cover them with a bag of ice.

    How To Cook Spot Prawns?

    The simple secret to enjoying whole spot prawns is poaching them in a large pot of water boiling with sea salt. 

    The most important thing is to keep it a short process.

    Spot shrimp cook fast! It is a fine line between cooking live prawns and cooking them 'just right"! 

    I like them best poached for 30 seconds. Quickly blanched whole prawns in boiling hot water and served with a chilli soy dipping sauce (Recipe Here). 

    You can prepare the Asian Seafood Dipping Sauce while the water is boiling. In a small bowl, mix together two tablespoons light soy sauce or steamed fish soy sauce, minced clove of garlic, shallot, finely chopped green onion, cilantro, Thai red chili pepper and a little sugar. Set aside.

    Do not cook them for more than one minute. Keep your eyes on these sweet shrimp! Once they turn pink, they are ready!

    How To Peel and Unsheathe Tasty Prawns

    If you have never unsheathe prawns, the first time can be a little scary. There are different ways to shell spot prawns. Just follow the following simple technique!

    Note: the cooked prawns are probably a little hot. Allow it it rest and cool before working with them.

    1. Pull off the head and legs.
    2. Remove the shell starting with the head end, pull off the other shell with your hands. You can keep the last segment of the shell on the tail tip.
    3. Remove and discard the vein.

    Place the unsheathe shells in a plastic bag or container to freeze and to make shell fish stock.

    What To Do With Leftover Spot Prawn Heads

    Do not discard prawn shells or their heads. Spot prawn heads are excellent when deep-fried with a little bit of corn starch dusted. Enjoy it with a gentle squeeze of lemon juice.

    Unsheathe shells are excellent for making Shellfish Stock.

    Spicy Dipping Sauce for Prawns and Seafood Ingredients and Substitutions

    The following sauce ingredients can be found at your local asian grocery store. When choosing which condiment to use for Chinese cooking, I typically choose a Chinese soy sauce for making spicy soy dipping sauce for prawns and seafood and reserve the Japanese soy sauce for making easy dipping sauce for dumplings and gyoza dipping sauce.

    • Steamed fish soy sauce (a type of sweet soy sauce)
    • Garlic cloves
    • Brown Sugar
    • Cilantro
    • Shallot
    • Green Onion
    • Thai Red Chili Peppers (Birds Eye Chili)
    • Vegetable Oil
    • Sesame Oil (optiopnal)

    You can also use light soy sauce or dark soy sauce in place of Steamed fish soy sauce. If you do not have fresh chili you can also opt for red pepper flakes, cayenne peppers or chili oil like Lao Gan Ma. You can also use jalapeno peppers for this spicy sauce,

    Of course, how much red chili flakes depends on your spice level preference. If you prefer your sauce to be extra spicy, keep the seeds to your birds eye chili

    Spicy Dipping Sauce for Prawns and Seafood

    How To Make Asian Seafood Dipping Sauce

    This simple Asian dipping sauce is made with a few of your favorite ingredients already in your pantry. The sauce itself is an excellent compliment to the delicate flavours of seafood like spot prawns.

    Unlike Nước Chấm (Vietnamese spicy fish sauce), this spicy dipping sauce for shrimp in Chinese food is gentle, light while having subtle heat levels.

    In a small bowl, mix together two tablespoons soy sauce, minced clove of garlic, shallot, finely chopped green onion, cilantro, Thai red chili pepper and a little sugar. Set aside.

    In a small stainless steel sauce pot, heat vegetable oil on medium heat until hot but not smoking.

    Pour the heated oil directly onto the seafood and shrimp dipping sauce. You will hear a noticeable sizzle sound. Adding cooked oil is a great way to enhance the sweet flavor of the dipping sauce for chinese boiled shrimp 白灼蝦.

    This is a great recipe to highlight the essential ingredient - delicate and sweet tasting spot prawns.

    This sauce is not suitable for salad dressing and it does not have rice vinegar or black vinegar typically found in Chinese dumpling sauce mixed with fresh ginger.
