Soymilk tip - I use West Life Organic Unsweetened Soymilk. No gums, no fillers. This is the complete ingredients list - water, organic soybeans. That's it. I'm able to buy it at my local Walmart.
I buy Malk almond milk. The ingredients are clean, too. Filtered water, organic almonds, pink salt. I’ll remember West Life. It’s hard sometimes to find clean ingredients.
This is what I use to make yogurt in my instant pot. Tofu yogurt is not the same-the flavor of the fermentation process can’t be replaced by lemon juice.
TVP and Soy Curl Tip: After soaking and draining, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Then season and cook as you desire. In my opinion, it creates a better finishing texture.
So tip about your non stick pan. Do not wash while hot because it will ruin the coating. Do not use high heat on non stick, medium is the most. I like the German made Ozeri pans. It’s a good product. No non stick lasts forever and mine usually last for 2 years. I recycle the old ones and replace with the same brand.
I soak my soy curls in warm water with a little Braggs Liquid Aminos added. After soft I drain, whiz in a blender and add some vegan mayo, chopped onion, relish and some chopped celery to make a fantastic chicken(less) salad!
I love soy curls! I use tvp in chili, pasta suace and meatless loaves. Thanks for recommending these because I think more people should use them and they should be available more widely. P.S. I alway cook my own beans, make my own (pressure cooker) yogurt, bake my own bread and bake my own cakes/sweet treats.
avoid highly processed soy such as texturized isolated soy protein. it's probably the least beneficial of the products and most likely to have side effects.
Trader Joe’s has the best soy milk! I live about 25 minutes from one so I don’t go super often. When I go I call ahead and have them set aside a case of soy milk for me. I love that it’s shelf stable and only 2 ingredients and cheaper than most other soy milks!
Yes! I also vote for Trader Joe's soy. It's shelf stable and quite tasty. I really dislike most shelf stable plant milk, but this is awesome, and at 2.29 for a 32oz cartoon, you can't go wrong.
Love these tips. 1 tip for you is your pan should be cooled first then soak. The nonstick coating doesn’t like to go from super hot to cold water. It ruins the coating.
I couldn’t believe when you poured the aquafaba from cooking those garbanzo beans down the drain! There are so many things you could make from that stuff.. look it up! Bet you could make a cool episode from all the different things you could make.❤
You may have to boil it by itself to evaporate some water and concentrate it. I use homemade aquafaba for mayonnaise, ice cream, meringues etc. I love it.
Your videos are so good. As someone new to plant-based eating …… you are so clear, simple intrusions, etc. I feel more confident after watching you. Why don’t you have more subscribers? I’ll do my best to help out.
I really love how you pack so much information in your videos because of that, I feel like my time is important to you. Oh, and the food looks so yummy!
I've been meaning to try that. Im addicted to Larabars and, reading the very short ingredient list, I've figured I could make them myself. Very glad to hear it's easy!
Compare quality, taste, nutritional value and ethics of Eden Soy Milk Vs suspect products of Traitor Joe's. Eg both consumer reports and as you sow rated chocolates on their content of heavy metals and many of the worst ones are sold at trader Joe's and Traitor Joe's will flat out say they're safe otherwise they wouldn't sell them but they will not provide any information or studies. the worst rated chocolate deserve The proposition 65 warning of California. The processed food industry is doing all it can to make sure no other state uses this mild necessary California statute. basically trader Joe's is making it easier to eliminate yourself slowly. Less than 10% of what they sell is worth buying probably. Look into the state of Chile and Peru and wonder why so much of the produce comes from there or Mexico. Any farmer's market or any market that focuses on produce that is organic will offer you an better localized seasonal value than the nearly flavorless minimally appealing socially globally unfair produce of TJs. I assure you that the country's supplying the US with this produce make it unaffordable locally over there for too many people. But TJs only cares if it sells it seems this way they are basically WalMart Costco. Notoriously stingy margins afforded to the producers or suppliers and pushing slave like labor to produce their packaged fresh ready to eat. Aldi Bros have a notorious reputation in Germany for wiping out local competition. Traitor Joes is rooted in their ethos. They work their overeducated underpaid staff like ants or slaves. their clientele is similarly overeducated and undercompensated. no doubt about it the labrador retriever golden retriever labradoodle mentality of the staff is quite welcoming but it covers up the reality of massive invasive corporations like this. customers feel good about the company because of the nice people that they interface with and we see this at the worst monopolies in the world from Wells Fargo to telecom.

Order soy curls straight from Butler. Much cheaper and they always send a free sample of one of their other products. Also there is yeast specifically made for bread machines.
That’s what I was gonna say. They sent me two extra things to try! I was also gonna say you can order the soy curls without the seasoning - it doesn’t automatically come with it (from Amazon or Butler).
Greetings from St George! Was that a U of Utah shirt I saw? Did my graduate work at the U! I’ve subscribed. Thank you so much! At 72 I’m trying to go Whole Foods, Plant Based. I figure that it’s never too late!
@@nancy9478 it does unless health issues. Also there is a video about a 100 year old vegan and many others (so yea possible to live a good life) Can supplement with protein powder otherwise (from safe source since many can be contaminated with heavy metals just like dark chocolates ).
Hubby and I went vegan at 55 and 57. We are now in our 13th year. Best thing we ever did for our health and peace of mind. You won’t be sorry you put in the effort. Enjoy the journey. So much fun!
Wow! I used to order TVP online directly from the company. I didn’t know they still made it. I’m going to order CVP. The beyond burger type stuff bothers my stomach. Thank you for including that!
Thank you for your teap for dry plant protein like ground meat. I looked for it right away and I bought one with a beaf flavour and two other kinds. I didn't know it existed and I am making lots of traditional Polish dishes but vegan. Sooo many options to use it. I love it 💚
I order EdenSoy unsweetened soy milk directly from EdenSoy. It’s just soybeans and water. Two cases ship for free. You’ve inspired me to try making soy yogurt. Thank you!
Pretty nice tips... But if you're trying to keep away from so much soy.... I like to make batches of 'meat' as well.... but you can make a really good ground meat and burgers from lentils, nuts, mushrooms cauliflower.... Etc...make different combinations, season them and freeze. 💜
Thank you for posting this. This is extremely helping for getting started. I especially appreciate appreciate the info on the textured protein and soy curls. I think those will be especially helpful getting the family to transition
We make fajitas with the soy curls. Soak in beef less broth (better than bouillon has a no beef and no chicken flavor) squeeze the liquid out, season and fry in the pan with the onions and peppers. I make an extra stepp and pull out the largest pieces first prior to soaking. I keep smaller pieces for other dishes. I just think the bigger pieces look nicer. It's not a needed step, but it's worth it to me.
I was really encouraged by the tvp and soy curls hack. I have some in my pantry but not quite sure how to use it. Also i love the hack of batch cake and having it ready on hand. I didnt realize candied walnuts were that easy! Literally 2 ingredients. Cant get easier. Thanks so much.
Or better still - buy the soybeans at the Asian supermarket and make your own soymilk. And then make the yogurt in the Instant pot using the cold start method.
I haven’t made my own yogurt yet, but I plan to because I got an Insta pot recently! I love and appreciate that you gave an even simpler option for yogurt though, because vegan yogurt can be so expensive! Also for soy milk without additives if you have a trader Joe’s near you- they sell organic pantry soy milk that is just water and organic soy beans and like $2 for a quart! That is the most affordable option I have found and I love that it is high in protein and shelf stable! I always stock up when I am at Trader Joe’s. 🤗
I'm single so I don't batch cook as often but all of these tips were Sensational and I was already planning on making beans I just received my first bag of TVP today! Lol thank you again for your amazing and informative videos🌞
It's sweat potatoes, potatoes look, little different. To bake bread not hot water but luke warm hot water will kill the yeast. You got great tips and lucky to have all the products available in the USA
I've been vegan for a long time and I learned a ton from this very useful video. Thanks! Can't wait to try the mug cake. I think my kids are going to be obsessed with them :D
Thank you for the hacks. I've been plant based for awhile & always like to hear some hints & things to make my life easier. Garbanzo beans in the iPot are SO good. I did not realize they could be that good - haha & I'm making white beans in the iPot right now [I haven't been able to find canned in months.] Soy curls - LOVE them!!! I just found you & I'm so glad I did!😊
West Soy and Eden Soy are great milks for making yogurt. Look in the shelf stable milk section. Also, Trader Joe's has their own brand of shelf stable soy milk. Great price, too.
Ok new subscriber here, I’m on day 28 of the VEGANUARY CHALLENGE and I bought a bunch of “vegan” stuff, TVP was something I bought but didn’t know how to use. Thanks for clarifying for me.
Just want to say that walnuts are well known to be a migraine trigger if anyone suffered from them regularly! Roasting them first can help or choose a different nut.
I've been using soy milk powder since the C19 lockdown. There was about three weeks when I couldn't get fresh plant milk. I happened to find a bad of dried soy milk powder in another isle. I followed the instructions and discovered the most delicious and inexpensive plant milk by volume. I just cannot go back, it's too good.
I recently heard that jars with "shoulders" (like the typical 32-oz mason jars) shouldn't be used for freezing, only the ones with completely straight sides (e.g. 16-oz wide-mouth). Do any of you who have done a lot of freezing in jars know if this is true?
SOY CURL PSA: For an 8 oz bag, add 2 cups boiling water or flavored liquid. This should hydrate the curls without leaving excess moisture. Make sure to stir well for a good minute. I hate squeezing and discarding excess broth cause then that flavor is wasted! So just do this method to save time and cut waste!
Hi! I recently found your channel and I just love it!!! Could I confirm that the bread calls for 2 tablespoons of the yeast? Thanks so much! Keep up the great work...so appreciated!
Way way too much yeast. Try this (my go-to bread machine recipe): 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water, 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 cups all purpose white flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, 2 1/2 TEASPOONS instant dry yeast. Run on 2 lb white bread cycle. No oil, no sugar, way less yeast.
The Not Chikn stock cubes by Edward and sons are phenomenal!i use for oup..but theyd be greatnfor soaking the tvp and soycurls.their not beefnosnalso good as is their veggie stock cubes.
Looks great, but I am allergic to coconut, pineapple and tofu causes my joints to swell.....eating plant based can be tough for me, even though it is so healthy
I cannot eat beans that have been frozen. It really messes up the texture and flavor. I will freezer prep soups and chili without the beans and then add the beans in the instant pot. Soy curl texture is so much better when air-fried. Squeeze the water out of them, flavor with soy sauce, molasses, and smoke paprika and air fry until desired doneness. Perfect Soy Curl Bacon.
As a vegan, I think you should invest in high quality beans. The dried beans you found are small, old and lack flavor and texture when prepared. There are much higher quality beans, and they’re bigger and fresh. And yes, they cost more but think of it as buying a Mercedes instead of a VW.
Great tips! Thank you. I use Brittany Jaroudi's instant pot soy yogurt recipe. It is very easy. I get my unsweetened 2 ingredient (soybeans and water) soy milk from Canned Foods Warehouse when I can find it because it is cheaper. But Trader Joes has a 2 ingredient soy milk. Tip - the higher the protein of the soy milk, the thicker your yogurt.

TVP and Soy Curl Tip: After soaking and draining, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Then season and cook as you desire. In my opinion, it creates a better finishing texture.
THANK YOU! Such a good tip!
I rehydrate my soy curls in veggie broth or beefless broth to add flavor. Works great.
Such a great idea! I'll need to do that!
So tip about your non stick pan. Do not wash while hot because it will ruin the coating. Do not use high heat on non stick, medium is the most. I like the German made Ozeri pans. It’s a good product.

Omg, I just bought one but didn't even look at the ingredients yet!
The price is right for Trader Joe's soymilk! (That it only contains soybeans and water makes it even better.)
I need to go to Trader Joes! Thank you!
Yes! I also vote for Trader Joe's soy. It's shelf stable and quite tasty. I really dislike most shelf stable plant milk, but this is awesome, and at 2.29 for a 32oz cartoon, you can't go wrong.
I make yogurt out of 1 lb. walnuts, soaked and pureed, and one can of coconut mylk. It's thick and healthy.
Oh wow! I'll have to try this!
Love these tips. 1 tip for you is your pan should be cooled first then soak. The nonstick coating doesn’t like to go from super hot to cold water. It ruins the coating.

I couldn’t believe when you poured the aquafaba from cooking those garbanzo beans down the drain! There are so many things you could make from that stuff.. look it up! Bet you could make a cool episode from all the different things you could make.❤
Aquafaba meringues are so yum!
That is a great idea for a future video!
My homemade aquafaba doesn’t work for our homemade mayo like the canned stuff does. What am I doing wrong. ( I don’t use an Instant pot)
You may have to boil it by itself to evaporate some water and concentrate it. I use homemade aquafaba for mayonnaise, ice cream, meringues etc. I love it.
Thank you. Same as you, I make my own chickpeas and beans, but I have to tell you that you changed my Life! The seaweed in the beans works like magic!

Candied nuts are good if you add cinnamon, too.
I really love how you pack so much information in your videos because of that, I feel like my time is important to you. Oh, and the food looks so yummy!
Larabars are also really easy to make (if you have a food processor)! I used to make them in college because I was buying them so frequently.
I've been meaning to try that. Im addicted to Larabars and, reading the very short ingredient list, I've figured I could make them myself. Very glad to hear it's easy!
That is a great idea actually! I make similar energy balls all the time.
I use West Soy from Sprouts or Trader Joe’s brand. They are the shelf stable cartons not in the refrigerator department.
Thank you for the tip!

Freezer tip...mason jars with no curves are freezer safe. The ones with "hips" aren't recommended for freezing

Soy milk without gum/thickeners is the "standard" soy milk available at most Asian grocery stores.

I love and appreciate that you gave an even simpler option for yogurt though, because vegan yogurt can be so expensive!

I wish soy curls were less expensive. Years ago I found them on sale for $3 per bag and I have not been able to afford them since.
It is true, I wish they were as cheap as tofu!

As long as you don't overfill them, they're fine. Leave at least 2 inches empty.

Thank you so much for being here!
Looks great, but I am allergic to coconut, pineapple and tofu causes my joints to swell.....eating plant based can be tough for me, even though it is so healthy
I cannot eat beans that have been frozen. It really messes up the texture and flavor. I will freezer prep soups and chili without the beans and then add the beans in the instant pot.
Soy curl texture is so much better when air-fried. Squeeze the water out of them, flavor with soy sauce, molasses, and smoke paprika and air fry until desired doneness. Perfect Soy Curl Bacon.
Great tips! Only one suggestion, please don't put your hot pans under cold water, this is a sure way to warp them.
Thank you!!!
Hello. Thank you for these wonderful hacks! Question: what is the calorie content for the mug cake? Thanks!
I snack on home cooked chickpeas all the time. Soak, boil with some salt and voila. I make them every week!
They are sooooo yummy!!
Edensoy Unsweetened Soy Milk is what I use most of the time. Trader Joe's Unsweetened Soy Milk is ok, but it's not as creamy (or as high in protein).
As a vegan, I think you should invest in high quality beans. The dried beans you found are small, old and lack flavor and texture when prepared. There are much higher quality beans, and they’re bigger and fresh. And yes, they cost more but think of it as buying a Mercedes instead of a VW.
Where do you buy yours?
I can't find purple sweet potatoes anywhere? The Asian market near me only has white skin, purple flesh. Any suggestions?
what are probiotic capsules?
Great tips! Thank you. I use Brittany Jaroudi's instant pot soy yogurt recipe. It is very easy. I get my unsweetened 2 ingredient (soybeans and water) soy milk from Canned Foods Warehouse when I can find it because it is cheaper. But Trader Joes has a 2 ingredient soy milk. Tip - the higher the protein of the soy milk, the thicker your yogurt.
Such great tips. Thank you!
