The first point is so, so important. People will spend hours marinating a steak but then serve it with mushy boiled broccoli. If you ate unseasoned boiled chicken every night, you'd probably start to think you disliked chicken.
What are you talking about. All meat needs is salt, pepper and butter. A steak takes 5 minutes to cook. Chicken breasts take 15-20 minutes.

Made those Kung Pao Brussels sprouts with some fried tofu at my gf's parents house a couple of weeks ago. My gf's mom said it was "the best meal she ever came home to" and my gf's response was "I was the one who found him." GUYS I'M TELLING YOU THIS COOKING SHIT WORKS.
Nothing sexier as a woman than having that fear of "you're a woman so you're supposed to know how to cook/do the cooking" removed with a dating partner who either does most of the cooking (that would make me feel guilty) or isn't afraid to split the cooking (and their cooking is ACTUALL cooking, not a frickin' grill! Knowing how to barbecue isn't cooking, you're a one-trick pony who is only useful a handful of days out of the year!)
That was cruel and I'm half joking, lol. But it irks me when I hear guys whip that skill out like that's really going to help me the other 360 days of the year that aren't a holiday for barbecuing, lol. Or even with an indoor grill, it means they can only cook very specific foods cooked a very specific way...one-trick pony 😂

Comment of the week
If anything he got a little spicier.
My grandma used to boil bags of frozen mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, peas, corn etc.) for around 30 minutes, and then add a glob of butter and some salty flavor enhancer at the end. You almost needed a spoon to eat it.
If we didn’t eat all the vegetables, she would refreeze them, and then boil them for another 10 minutes when they were ready to eat again...
This story wins the contest
That sounds like actual torture and I wouldn't be surprised if you needed therapy for it at some point

Hi
@@robert58 Hi
I was raised on unappealing mush for years and thought I just hated vegetables. I’m on the autism spectrum and food textures have been a big hurdle. Once I started cooking my own food and got away from the cooking methods my parents drilled into my head I learned to love veggies a lot.
Same here. For me as a kid, vegetables came pre-cooked to death in a pot. Add to that my problems with textures due to autism and.. I was not having a good time with vegetables.
I still have a few vegetables I avoid due to texture (like chickpeas and avocado), but going to university and being exposed to other people's cooking helped a lot! I just need to get better in the planning department.
I think this is actually true for a lot of people, even those who don’t struggle with autism. With people’s first foray into veggie, like with trying anything new, you find you might not like some of it, but parents often force their kids to eat it anyway, entirely unable to change or explore other vegetables or methods of cooking. So people grow up just thinking they hate vegetables. But once you can be independent and explore different textures and flavors there is always something for everyone.
Haha yeah. My mom has a tendency to overcook everything, and learning what I like/prefer has helped me diversify my diet. Still love her tho
Food texture is it for me too. Funny enough, for me to eat them I prefer them on the mushy side and hidden. For a lot of veggies, I can't _stand_ it when they're crunchy or have a firm texture to them yet hardly any taste. The only one I like normal is corn. Then there's some like avocado and eggplant that are plain disgusting taste-wise.
The texture thing doesn't apply to me but yea a lot of people were raised on vegetables being prepared in a super unappealing way (unseasoned, steamed and/or raw) there's so much you can do with vegetables lmao just approach it like you'd approach uhh raw chicken
When I started peeing brown with bloodclots in it and thought I had everything from kidney failure to liver disease, I realized my meat diet could kill me, now along with lots of water , every meal now how has veggies. My go-tos are cucumber and zucchini . I pretty much eat them with every meal.
Sie what??? How does that happen???
@@bilquiss missing core nutrients most likely

Cucumber and zucchini are so savory when sautéed or grilled 🤤
Unironically i've found that searing vegetables like a steak yields great results. Then i also realize cooking anything like a steak yields great results.

As someone who often struggles to eat fruits and vegetables for sensory reasons, but WANTS to eat more and FEELS BETTER when I do, this video is wonderful. It doesn't talk down to people like me and belittle them, but gives them _options_ for changing their behaviour. I will definitely be using these ideas. Thank you!
how’s it going?
As someone who is perpetually cooking for 1, my biggest reason for not getting enough veggies was just that I couldn't finish them fast enough. No matter what I made there would always be something leftover to wilt in the fridge. Then I discovered the magical world of frozen vegetable, and my life has never been the same.
Same, my freezer is now a collection of veggies ready for stir fry and fruits ready for smoothies
Most of the time people who "don't like" vegetables aren't interested in food/cooking at all.
I thought only kids says that
feel like this is accurate with ppl my age (early mid 20s)
I'm not interested in wiping my ass but somehow I get it done
Correct all this video said was if you know how to cook then you can make anything taste good, well no shit
Yeah, and they probably don't know how to cook properly.
I remember trying to convert one guy into eating soup with vegetables. I started with "so, you fry the carrots and onions-" and he was like "woah woah woah, you FRY them before you put them in a soup?! That sounds fucking fake, gtfo here, I'm not going to do that shit."
Like what am I even going to say about that. This dude's just making straight-up mush soup and whining about it, but doesn't want to learn. What can ya do.
For folks who think vegetables don't taste good, try Indian or Ethiopian food. There's more options beyond tasteless salads or fake meat dishes. I say this as a huge a meat eater btw.
Not to diss on Ethiopian, but their cuisine are rather hard to come by for me. I get India and their flavor bomb of cuisine though. On that regardsni think best veg dish to non vegs eater were those that does not emphasize its vegginess albeit being vegs. Indian, Chinese, all kind of breaded/battered vegs, heavily spiced stew come to mind.
for folks who don't think vegetables taste good, try adding oil and salt
I’ve found “seasoning meats” are where it’s at for my friends. They’ll eat a whole plate of vegetables if I cook them with a couple strips of bacon.
Man, I have never been so glad to have been raised by someone who knew how to cook vegetables and grew up liking them. There's a whole universe of vegetable avoidance that has never, ever occurred to me. I genuinely thought that vegetable avoidance was not real, just something that happens on tv.
some adults are just genuinely unbelievable but my first conclusion is their parents couldnt cook for shit, and 2nd is they probably support their lifestyle with "alternative facts" that say eating supplements is a valid replacement for vegetables.
For everyone who struggles with ADHD or anything else that makes you lose the ability to remember that there are plants in your fridge, proper storing techniques are great but also frozen vegetables are also a great way to plop some greens into your diet whether via smoothies, stir fries, steaming, whatever you want. Easy, affordable and they keep a lot of nutritional value.
Frozen veg is a lifesaver! I always keep at least a bag of mixed veg (carrots, green beans, peas, corn). And frozen broccoli is so convenient, it produces virtually no waste.
yes! and planning out what you're going to make for the week and only buying those veggies. That way you don't have extras sitting in there. And keep the list of what meals you are preparing on the fridge so you remember! I always gotta plan, list, and keep things visually posted so that the thoughts arent stored in only in my adhd brain. Because my brain may be adhd, but the peices of paper that i write my plans and lists on are not :)
Also Can be healthier too as they are snap frozen after harvest, sometimes on the farm itself. Produce at the regular grocery store is probably a week old or more at that point if it's in season, months (frozen) if you're out if season. Frozen veggies will have more nutritional content due to this. Freezing technology has also gotten WAY better so the quality these days is quite good
@@CitizenSniiiips was just going to say that.
Daniel Ellerton wow. And I thought freezing was inherently bad thanks to Gordon Ramsay
I love the argument of “don’t eat vegetables cuz we can turn our antioxidant system on in other ways”. Sorry joe I can’t spend hours in a sauna or in a cold plunge or sprinting up hills or wimhof breathing I’m just going to eat some broccoli.
i think there was a study that said only about 10 minutes of exercise is all that's necessary.
regardless, if we're talking about antioxidants like vitamin A and C, just eat some liver. beef liver has more vitamin C than most fruit and contains tons of vitamin A as well as basically every other nutrient you need to live.
if anything, make sure you're eating whole foods, as processed foods like juice could have extra sugar that will cause oxidative stress and make the antioxidants pointless
@@LucasTigy2 why can't we just eat produce tho.... What's the point of avoiding them, the gmo thing?
@@sfr2107 they're mainly just unnecessary, but the antinutrients that plants create as natural pesticides tend to cause problems in people. like how the lectins in beans seem to inhibit zinc absorption, not to mention their protein is less bioavailable, so your body generally absorbs 30% less of the protein from beans. high oxalate foods like spinach can cause cause issues with mineral absorption as well. although it's not really found in vegetables unless you put it there, gluten seems to also be something to avoid as it can cause many problems with your intestines and mental health.
when it comes to "gmo" some plants are bread to have more antinutrients to make them more resistant to organisms trying to eat them plus we've bread some to be more sugary, which probably isn't good for our health as a whole.
overall, it seems plants are unnecessary at best, and harmful at worst, but if you're going to eat it, i recommend lowering their defenses first with cooking, sprouting, fermenting, or whatever other methods are out there. i actually had some pickled jalapenos yesterday. did i get a benefit from eating them? probably nothing too significant and i try not to have too many as my intestines can't seem to handle the spice, but i eat them because i like how they taste
@@LucasTigy2 ive been eating vegetables for years and im just fine. i dont think you should avoid them unless theyre giving you real health issues. who the hell wants to erase a MAJOR food group from their diet? at least with vegetarians theres only like 3 animals that most americans eat regularly but there are so many plants out there. plants are healthy man.
@@meepmoop2308 well considering the grains food group that was at the bottom of the food pyramid for most of my childhood is at least partially responsible for our diabetes and heart disease, i think it's pretty obvious why you may want to stop eating certain foods.
the best i can summarize it is, if you've been living your whole life with some sort of problem, even something minor, you'll never know how good you could be feeling without the cause of the problem. many people with mental issues like bipolar disorder have actually seen improvements from cutting out all plants from their diets.
in reality, these "food groups" were just made up by what we thought we should eat. again, you can eat plants all you want, but they could be causing a net harm without you realizing it. sure they add some interesting flavor to things, especially all of the herbs and spices, but they're not necessary for your health
I work with a guy who said "I'm not a rabbit" as he picked the iceberg off his cheeseburger. Too real.
My mother did an excellent job of making sure my brother and I loved vegetables. She would cook them amazingly well and even plated them to look super nice. I come from a family who eats meat in atleast 2 meals a day, and if it wasn't for mum, I would totally despise eating greens and veggies..

Do you have to eat vegetables? Technically no. But it doesn't mean you slam an 8oz steak 3x a day. Muscle meat lacks a bunch of vitamins you need to live. You need to eat a lot of organ meat if cutting veggies is a thing you want. But even then it's still not overly healthy. You won't keel over from vitamin deficiency, but your risk rate for heart disease will be much higher than even a high fat modern diet. That is unless you are very selective about where you get fat from. Lots of people dont wanna eat vegetables but when the alternative is eat small oily fish or blubber, eyeballs, and intestines. Suddenly just learning how to cook an eggplant seems like a much better option.
This comment might not get a lot of upvotes but I appreciate your level headed reasoning :)
Tinned sardines are an amazing addition to your diet though
Tinned sardines are actually so good though! I get why people have a negative perception, but they’re relatively cheap and so tasty. Not to mention all of the omega-3s!
Tinned/canned sardines (and many other preserved-in-a-metal-box small fish) also have the added bonus of being one of the most sustainable fish that you can consume on a regular basis! I'm still trying to figure out ways to work them into dishes though, so if anyone's got recommendations, I'm all eyes!
Eggplant stings so much. I like it but it hates me!
I really appreciated the "delicate salads take up lots of room" take. I travel for work (meaning I'm on construction sites and in people's homes during the day), so I don't have a way to heat my lunch, or a convenient place to store large containers. A large salad also takes more time to eat, it seems, maybe because it's not something I can eat while driving, or because I try to skewer a little bit of everything on my fork for every bite. So, all of this adds up to mean that cold cut sandwiches tend to be the easiest thing for me to pack. I can make meat sandwiches the night before instead of the morning of, where as a veggie sandwich would get soggy if I made it the night before (something with hummus and sliced raw veg). BUT. I've been trying to make more veggie-centric main dishes in my lunch, and one of the more recent meals I've been making has been AWESOME. I can't remember where I got the recipe from or how I modified it, but I've been making fried tofu slices, with roasted portabello mushroom and sweet potato (cut on a bias into oval medallions, about as thick as a coin). I put all of this on a bed of cold soba noodles, topped with dipping sauce (I think it's called Tsuyu). I just looked online, and I think the recipe I used was from a website called foodiecrush? The trick for me was getting the sweet potatoes to the right texture. I actually messed them up the first time I made them, intending to use them in another dish, and ended up putting them in this cold noodle dish - SO, the trick is to roast your sweet potato medallions, and then to leave them in the oven after cooking to dry out while the oven cools down. You want them almost leathery, almost like jerky. That way, they soak up some of the noodle dipping sauce and reconstitute, but aren't mushy. They should have some "bite" to them. Anywho, I portion the noodles and veg and tofu and sauce out into 3-cup rectangular glass pyrex containers (the same size labeled as "food prep containers" at Kohl's or whatever).
fried tofu absolutely slaps and has revolutionized my sandwich game
This sounds so delicious! Love the tip about leather sweet potato medallions. I have to try it!
I whole-heartedly embraced the concept of "plant-based" diet the way you describe it when I lived in China. My diet was soooo much better there mainly because so many dishes were hella plants, hella spices, and a lil' meat.
For people with textural issues with vegetables, I highly reccomend soup! Red barszcz, creamy butternut squash soup, some german asparagus ones, lentil, bean, soups are bae! It's how I get my (maybe afrid?) partner to eat vegetables.
Almost any vegetable can go in soup as long as you season it right
Not me misreading beet soup for my own last name...
Soup is the solution I found as well
Thank you for bringing this up. For some reason I’ve had textural problems with most vegetables for all my life 😂 will definitely try this

This man's channel is the epitome of "quality over quantity"
The idea that more veggies = more salad is kind of sad. I'm a vegetarian and I never eat salad. I cook all my vegetables like a real man (jk)
Same. I hate salad. Luckily there are like a million more veggies.
this but unironically
I feel a similar way about tofu, every time I hear someone say that tofu is bland and flavorless I take it more as an indictment of their ability to cook than an insult against tofu. Tofu is a fucking protein flavor sponge, there are so many ways to make it delicious. If you can't manage to figure one out it's on you.
same! people don't take the time to learn cook their vegetables right, and end up hating them over nothing
Fr fr tho. Cook me up some Brussels sprouts baby
Preparation definitely has a lot to do with taste. I've always disliked boiled Brussels sprouts. Then I tried roasted Brussels sprouts, and found one of my favorite foods.

So basically: There's a lot of edible stuff out there and you shouldn't let ignorance or misguided idealism limit you to just some of it.
The easiest way to make vegetables more palatable is to learn how to cook them properly and just add salt, pepper and butter. You can do this for like at least 90% of the common supermarket vegetables.
The RUclips search function does not return this video when I enter "blend it brown and suck it down", maybe a comment can help with that ?
Entering "internet shaquille vegetables" works though, so that is nice.
Thank you for tip number 2! I really have just been putting veggies in with the plastic and I didn't know that it's bad. The towel trick is also interesting, I've never heard of it - hope to try it soon!
Another tip that helps me is to rinse and dry fruits like berries and store in your own tupperware
or discard / immediately use the outer layers of leafy greens
Basically the culprit of food spoiling is bacteria and moisture so if you can minimize those before storing, your produce should last longer
That's why I'm not too sure about the moist towel trick but lemme know how it goes!
im not sure about the towel trick either, because I swear i just read something that said that grocery stores only spray produce to make it look tastier and it actually makes it spoil faster
@@mudkipclove FWIW, when we do fridge garden, a lot of plants get treated like flower bouquet. Stems into a glass jar with a touch of water at the bottom and then loosely wrap in plastic to prevent drying out. Lots of stuff lasts more than 2 weeks that way.
Oh and wrap your celery in aluminum foil. It's fucking witchcraft but that stuff stays crunchy for months.
For bunches of herbs or basically anything on a stem like that (asparagus, celery), the best way is to treat them like flowers! Put the bottoms into a jar with some water. I put a bag over top with a few holes in it (like the plastic bags apples and potatoes come in) and then stick it in the fridge. My dill never lasted so long!
My mom actually wraps the carrots in a wet towel - it definitely helps
"blend it brown and suck it down" LOL

How ridiculous 🙄
Its so silly that some people equate being tough with only eating meat. Like those romans or gladiators or Mongols or whatever surely ate veggies as they conquered, not just the flesh of their enemies
@@keesalemon Mongols ate a mostly meat diet, and still do.
@@keesalemon A lot of ancient civilizations ate primarily meat. Because animals can readily be hunted, while most plants are seasonal and can't be stored for long periods of time without spoiling.
Farming changed this, particularly with grain. But grain is not the same as "vegetables". It's one thing to eat peppers and apples and squash, etc. It's entirely something else to mill flour out of grain and subsist on bread.
@@keesalemon Small and strong societies ate meats, still do that today. Large civilizations were built on peasants and agriculture. Bread for the masses of people, who can be conscripted into a war machine. Be at the romans, who over time established many iterations of professional soldiers, or be it chinesische mass conscription armies of old.
All empires had problems against nomads and tribes uniting and essentially snowballing. The Mongols being just one and the most prominent and known example of that.
And it was grain from fields vs meat from pastured animals. All veggies are modern, and unsuitable for mass calorie production, even today. Vegetables were for flavor and seasoning.
veggies are ultimately where most flavor in cooking comes from

@@1997saltydog it really depends on your overall diet and health goals. fruit smoothies, unlike fruit juice, still contain the fiber that fruit would if you just sat down and ate it. that being said, most people couldn't just sit down and eat the amount of fruit they'd put into a fruit smoothie. i think you can make a very well balanced fruit smoothie for most people by simply adding fat and protein to turn it into a complete meal; hemp hearts, seeds, nut butters, and protein powders are all good additions. you can also add greek yogurt but i don't do dairy. that'll make the smoothie more satiating and add additional nutrients.
if you already eat a lot of fruit throughout the day, a fruit smoothie probably isn't something you should feel like you *have* to drink in order to be healthy, because you're probably already getting the nutrients it'd provide from the fruits themselves. i periodically struggle to include fruits into my diet for various reasons, in which case smoothies are really helpful for me. on the other hand, i basically don't consider something to be a complete meal unless it contains a vegetable, so i personally don't see any reason to put veggies in my smoothies, but if you don't eat a lot of veggies then you should consider adding a handful of spinach to the next smoothie you make.
other factors to consider are your overall sugar intake. personally, i think that if you're already consuming a lot of sugar then there's probably other sources to cut back on before you start eliminating fruits from your diet. unless specifically advised otherwise by your doctor, you probably should keep eating fruits.
Um, wow this is the premium content that I needed in my life - sincerely. Thank you!
You already changed my life with the Brussels sprout video. I’d love more “how to cook a single veggie real good” videos.
Pro tip, Snack on mushrooms for super energy while on a quest to save the princess.
My biggest hurdle to veggies is my laziness and lack of planning. So I chop a bit of fresh stuff to feel good about it and then just dump a bunch of frozen veggies into whatever I'm making. Easily triples the amount of veggies I get into a meal.
Frozen vegetables are a godsend. Especially corn and peas.
tbh the blend it brown and suck it down method is very very helpful and amazing for when ur a depressed person w no cooking motivation. my fuckin blender has gotten me out of so many depressive slumps can't even begin to count.
the Joe Rogan part at the end was sadly accurate and hilarious
Except Joe eats vegetables every day
@@Neimonster Except the last part was referring to Joe Rogan fans not Joe himself
@@PocketStep Fair enough :) and I think Joe only eats jalapeños these days
@@Neimonster probably as a side dish to DMT
@@PocketStep yep and his millions of listeners have never even touched a vegetable
People who dislike vegetables because they've heard somewhere that they're for "betas" are a juxtapositional enigma to me. You'd think deriving your values and opinions directly from a perceived "alpha" would have them fitting nicely into their definitions of "beta". But what do I know, I've never had elk meat.
Elk meat is delicious, but not as good as veggies.
I can understand disliking some vegetables but there has to be some that you like as well. People who don't like vegegables in general probably haven't tasted dishes from India, and no, it isn't just curry. There are hundreds of dishes.
@@nasapeepo721 They've had sheltered childhoods where they got to eat or not eat whatever they want.
thanks for the crisper advice! spoilage is my #1 anxiety when it comes to fresh produce and i feel like im always racing down the clock. on the upside, it means i do eat more plants when im eating against the clock, but it'd be nice to have more of a buffer. today i had a 12oz bag of spinach staring me in the face so i made a white sauce for creamed spinach. i like it bc it cooks down so easily.
If anything, I'm from the category of nobody in my family made vegetables appealing, my mother made eating stressful at every turn (complaining I wouldn't try new food, then complaining if I didn't like said new food and making me feel terrible because she bought it) and now I'm 33yo picky-eater/ARFID victim. As much as I wish your options were good for me, I think I'm too chickenshit to try making nice veg for myself.
But I don't think I'm too chickenshit to B-I-B-A-S-I-D because you remind me, lovingly but without mercy, how much I need to eat them. Thanks IntShaq
I eat vegetables with every meal but i can’t pretend like they’re not my least favorite part. It’s basically my ‘filler’ so I can enjoy my chicken more and feel more full. So for everyone who feels like me, add veggie noodles to your normal spaghetti noodles to stretch your meals more when meal prepping :)
its the opposite with me, most days i just power through my chicken and really i only enjoy the rice(i live w my parents and they dont cook vegetables only rice)
We came for an internet shaq, but we got an internet dad :)
I watched this video a second time, tried to "like" it and realized I had already done so. Your content is bomb af, my dude.
These are great tips! My veggies always end up getting mushy or soggy in the fridge!!! You're a life saver
How apt. An hour ago, I bought ingredients for the ratatouille I'm making for dinner tonight!
Super early - keep posting Shaq - great stuff as always and I havent even finished it
I grew up in a "no-thank-you bite" household. There was always a vegetable on the plate. If I didn't want to eat it, fine. I just have to take one "no-thank-you bite" and I wouldn't have to eat the rest. The parameters were simple. It would have to be an honest forkful, and I'd have to chew and swallow. A brief transaction, and then no questions asked. Funny thing is, after three or four meals with that vegetable, sometimes I'd get a taste for the thing.
The beauty of the paradigm was that even though it required me to try eating a vegetable, it gave me some sense of agency. It was a negotiation. And now there are very few vegetables I don't enjoy.
The power of a well written script folks, love your videos
I'm glad I was raised to love a variety of vegetables
I feel bad for ya'll, your parents didn't know how to cook and it shows
I ate fresh raw peas from the garden, sours from the yard, berries from the pricker bushes and strawberries along the driveway, wintergreen berries under the snow, blueberries off the logging trails on the hills, birch bark from a birch tree, plums, mulberries, and apples from the trees in our yard. It pains me to see ornamental plants instead of food plants.
Do this guy's videos ever fall flat? I'm excited every time one pops up.
No nonsense and straight to the point. Superb video as always!
i love this so much. gonna go stirfry some chickpeas, onions & left over beef
You know the difference between a chick pea and a garbanzo bean? -I can't get a garbanzo to bean on me.
You’re preaching to the choir in my case, but your approach is a world of difference from the stereotypical “eat vegetables because your parents said so” refrain. Yet another great video from the master!
JTMusicbox As an avid member of the "being a grown ass adult" choir I do have to admit that the occasional preach warms the soul
This was a great episode! I eat lots of vegetables but never had an oven so when I got a small one for Christmas I've been roasting all week!
By far my favorite cooking channel
Damn this video takes a shot at every "alpha" "real man" meat eater. Good job
Henrik Gostomski Yeah, real king shit
And yet...
The fact that yanks are so fragile that they confuse eating meat or being vegan with a “personality” is the real sad thing here
KING HOW DID YOU KNOW IVE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH EATING SALADS
My man, as a man who has a much easier time with meats than greens, I loved this video! Digging the channel!
You’re wild, Shaquille. Keep em coming in 2021. Respect
Shaq I dont know the storing it like a grocery store is always the greatest, they store stuff to make it look good, not necessarily for longevity
In the front they make it look good, but they store it for longevity in the back
I disagree. I think that grocery stores usually pay as much attention to the longevity of their product as they do its appearance. In my experience it really holds true what Shaquille says here, look at how garlic and oranges are sold in nets for example.
I work produce at a grocery store, longevity is deffo not our #1 priority but thought does go into it. At the end of the day its all about controlling temp and humidity, if you follow the grocery stores blueprint you will be at least a little bit better off.
I remember shaking water off of produce before buying it when I shopped for myself.
What I do is make a big batch of a version of Adam Ragusea's vegetable soup and eat a bowl of that every day. It's great because you can customize it with any vegetables you want (and even pasta/noodles) and you can add things to it as well like a chilli oil and chinese vinegar version or a soy sauce and mirin version. Even adding some miso to jazz things up
Oh, the Legates are here too...
I like Adam's recipes for how easy they are to follow and are super customizable. I too have the veggie soup almost everyday.
1. Could you share some of those mixes? I really like the Ragusea recipe
2. Do you need to take a pill because of the gas as Ragusea recommends?
@@inigo137 1. I just use the vegetables he uses normally. You can add potatoes before the carrots and boil them for a while and they'll just disintegrate in your mouth. Sautéing mushrooms and adding them at the end also adds some meatiness, and dumping in canned beans at or near the end (depending on how well cooked they are) pretty much completes the meal.
2. I'm single so I just dealt with the gas for the first 2-3 weeks but eventually my body adjusted. It would start a couple hours after I ate the soup (10 pm) and last for about 10-12ish hours. You might want to take the pill if you want to be more considerate of others haha
@@Ash_Wen-li ty, greatly detailed answer
Thank you for putting the recipes in the description!
you are literally the best channel on this website
Right to the point, highly informative yet witty, and (as always) incredibly well said. EAT PLANTS, PEOPLE!
Lmao as someone who only knows how to cook meat well, I very much needed this video. Thank you, this is a great starting point for implementing more vegetables into my meals.
Veggies bring out the best in meat, IMO. There needs to be balance to the force :-)
Idk what kind of food you like, but I would DEFINITELY check out italian and french restaurants if you would prefer veggies that are very hearty, heavy, and well seasoned or venture into the world of Asian food if you prefer a lighter, tropical style of food. Thai and Koreans (if you like spicy anyway) know how to make a veggie their bitch while still celebrating the veg itself. W European cooking tends to use veg as mere background characters for a more complex dish or as a vehicle for a delicious sauce or cheese, Asians veg is more focused on simplicity and making the veg the star of the dish, but either way, both regions do veg REALLY well imo. (IF YOU EVER get the chance, try ratatouillie or eggplant parmesan if you find yourself in a restaurant with real chefs. You'll see what I mean about french and italian veg. ITS LIFE CHANGING)
@@Pomagranite167 Also mediterranian restaurants have AMAZING vegetable-only foods. Olive oil, green beans, some tomatoes and onions can make a wonderful & filling dish.
@@bruh-hr1mt TRUUUUU, but I was simply naming my preferences. Most Mediterranean style veggies tend to weigh me down feel a bit too heavy for me. But you are correct, that stuff SLAPS
Halarious as always. Glad I found you! Keep up the good work :)
These are really helpful tips, especially the one about how to store produce.
thanks shaq, i have had green beans in my fridge that I bought on a whim over a week ago and ive been wanting an easy recipe. These blistered green beans are the bomb (amd really simple) and you guys need to try it.
1: melt about a tb of butter in a pan over medium high
2: toss in your beans (recipe says 8oz) , stir to coat with the butter
3: leave them for about 90 sec until they blister
4: stir and let blister again
5: pour in about a tb of soy sauce and stir to coat
the butter and soy sauce turns really nutty and delicious
