I'm really glad you have a typical German kitchen. So many cooking channels are in those luxurious American-sized kitchens and there's no room in my flat for half the gadgetry they consider essential.
I didn't know there was a difference in kitchens! That's very interesting. What's typical in one? I personally don't want to have a microwave anyways in mine-they're really annoying to clean.
@@miaulink1152 4 burner stove, full size oven (2 ovens if you're rich), microwave, toaster, blender, dishwasher, refrigerator taller than you are, kitchenaid mixer, and cabinets upon cabinets to hold it all in. A typical American kitchen is about 12qm, which is half the size of my entire Berlin flat.
Right! We don't even have a full sized oven (just one of these small portable ones) and our stovetop has room for 1 pot. I feel like most German kitchens are just way too small because so many people tend to cook less and want more space for other things.
@@miaulink1152 I have 2 electric burners, but they're too close to each other so I can only use one at a time. They came with the flat, which as you know is rare. After I've gotten a little more settled in, I plan to switch it out for a single induction. I also have a mini oven on the countertop and one of those mini blenders that makes a single smoothie. I have a bit bigger of a fridge because I wanted a freezer too. I have mobility problems and can't always leave the house so a frozen surplus comes in handy. I really like my tiny little kitchen, but I find myself struggling when following other English language food channels.
my fav is whole wheat pasta with hummus as the "sauce" - just cook the pasta, drain 95% of the water, add hummus, lemon juice, fresh or frozen spinach or kale, and serve with chili flakes
So i literally love that these receipts are based on german products, since I'm german and love watching these videos, but I never can buy the products they used. So thank you for living in germany and making vegan food videos 😊😅
I love that she doesn't use fancy stuff. I'm from Latinamerica and I can do most of her dishes, but when I watch someone from the US or the UK they always have tons of ingredients I can't buy in my country
I love any type of "roasted" soup. Just toss all the vegetables in the oven with some garlic, onion & your seasonings of choice. In the oven you don't have to fuss over it, so just give it time to roast, add veggie broth and blend with my immersion blender. Works a treat for any root vegetable in particular.
But you need quite an amout of oil to coat the veggies, right? I try not to have too much fat in my diet but I love everything oven roasted although many veggies tend to burn then.
Your low effort recipes are literally my high effort meals 😂 a low effort food diary for me would be cereal for breakfast, vegan convenience food (probably either vegan ravioli or ramen) for lunch and then bread for dinner.. 😅
Mine for dinner is: rice, canned tomatoes, beans. Put in rice cooker, done. Put tomatoes into a pot, let cook for 15 mins with herbs and mexican spice mixture. Add beans, cook for 7 mins. Done.
This might sound stupid, but it never occurred to me I could put just one tablespoon of protein powder into a smoothie. I always felt required to use the massive “scoop” every time. Lmao thank you
Thanks for the great ideas. I will def try that noodle sauce! Here is a super quick and easy bean/tomato soup idea for lazy winter evenings: - 1 Can of crushed tomatoes (I mix them first really well) - 1 Can of water (re-use tomato can when empty) - 1 Can of white beans - 2 Tbsp nutritional yeast - 1/2 veggie broth cube - 1/2 tsp onion, and garlic powder - A lot of fresh basil (or sub for 1/2 tsp dry basil) - 2 bay leaves - Salt and pepper to taste Cook all these until hot Turn heat down / Remove bay leaves / Add a generous amount of fresh spinach So good!
I like making a simple chilli. Fry onion with garlic, add chickpeas, kidney beans, sweet potato, canned tomatoes and veg stock. Boil until potatoes are cooked. Then add couscous and let it soak up the moisture. Done! Oh and also add spices like pepper, chilli flakes and curry powder ;))
Mina, I just love your recipes and the aesthetic of your channel. It brings me so much joy! Love you lots ❤❤ A low effort meal that I love: chickpea and lentil salad. Take a drianed can or half (depending on ur serving size) of chickpeas and lentils, and process them together. Cut up veg like carrots, celery, cabbage, etc and then combine with the chickpea mix. Add a couple tbsp of tahini, then lemon and/or other seasonings to taste. So good to put in wraps, toasts, or eat by the spoonful whatever floats your boat lol.
Chickpeas are honestly a gift from God. My favourite low-effort meal is cous cous with zucchini, bell pepper and chickpeas. You just cook the cous cous which is super easy, stir fry the vegetables with olive oil, garlic and onion until they're nice and soft (for like 10 minutes max) and toss everything together with some salt and pepper or paprika. I'm not vegan so I also add canned tuna sometimes but the vegan version is also great.
Recent favourite short meal: heat onion+garlic in a wok with some oil .add vegetable broth and frozen asia veggies or brokkoli,add coconut milk and glassnudels,let it cook for a few minutes...ready. Love it❤and love your channel🤗
Legit saaaaame. I feel like cooking youtubers forget that the amount of time they spend on cooking is not the norm. I do not have the time nor energy to do all these elaborate recipes & clean up afterwards x'D
Hey Mina, I have no idea if you'll see this comment but I'm posting it anyway ^^ I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I've been a vegetarian for 10 years and I've been trying to go on a more vegan way of life for some time now (I've also been trying to eat healthier food and exercise a lot more) and your videos have helped me a lot. I don't always replicate the exact recipes because I improvise a lot in the kitchen but they've inspired me A LOT. Your channel has helped me eat healthier these past few days/weeks. And I'm not just letting a comment. I've been watching a lot of cooking channels on RU-vid (vegan, non-vegan, vegetarian, etc.) and yours is clearly the best one for me. So much diversity and creativity, so many good ideas and you don't use products that cost 15€ or are so hard to find. Again, you've without knowing it you've helped me a lot lately. Thank you
I'm not even vegan but I'm so in love with your banana bread bake, I make that like 2 times a week since I discovered it. I love your aesthetic. Keep going🥰
I eat this sometimes and its a snack. Salt and Vinegar rice crackers toasted (but do not burn them, make them a light brown colour), spread some peanut butter on top, chop some banana's and put those for the topping and lastly drizzle some honey on top! Thanks!
I was so shocked when you started speaking German, even if I know that you are in Germany and I am too, but yeah... I was like whaaaat did I change the video or what is that? :DD
the thing i've been making constantly is a mexican-inspired wrap/burrito situation. i sautee red onion in some olive oil, add in like half of a red pepper and some frozen corn, add in chopped mushrooms, and sautee until everything is cooked. the spices are key here, so i usually add ground cumin, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice. then i put some sour cream and refried beans onto the tortilla, wrap it up, and grill that in the pan for about 2 mins on each side. it takes like 20 minutes, is full of veggies, and is delicious, but also feels kind of indulgent because it's like a burrito.
fave cosy low effort meal rn is veggie lentils. Fry some garlic, 1 diced onion, carrot, zucchini, 1/2 capsicum together in a saucepan with olive oil. Add 1/2 cup~ washed whole green lentils, 2~ cup hot water and veg stock cube (or 1 cup veg stock and 1 cup water), cumin and turmeric, salt and pepper, and a bay leaf and let it simmer for like 15 minutes. Comes out so warm, delicious, filling, wholesome. Olive oil drizzle, finely chopped parsley, nutritional yeast (ofc). Perfection!!! So cheap as well.
My fav is a french dish called petit salé : just cook some oignon and garlic in a pot with some olive oil then add carrots, some people add celery sticks too, then add the lentils, then water, near the end I add a cube of vegetable stock and when the lentils are almost cooked, add some vegan sausages or some smoked tofu. It’s so fucking good (pro tip : add a splash of apple cider vinegar on top)
My current favourite student meal is sweet potato curry- boil sliced sweet potatoes then whilst they boil fry an onion in coconut oil, season with turmeric, chilli and ginger then add soya milk and stir in sweet potatoes and frozen peas
Mein Lieblingsessen für faule Tage: Vollkornnudeln mit Trüffelöl, frischem Babyblattspinat, klein geschnittenen getrockneten Tomaten und ein wenig Knoblauch/Gewürze nach Geschmack. Einfach alle Zutaten in eine Schüssel geben und vermengen während die Nudeln kochen, und dann die Nudeln dazu :) ich esse die Nudeln auch aus der selben Schüssel, das ist besonders praktisch ,wenn man keine Spülmaschine hat 😅 Und manchmal mache ich noch Hefeflocken dazu. Olivenöl funktioniert auch, aber ich empfehle wirklich Trüffelöl, da es einen sehr guten intensiven Eigengeschmack hat und das Gericht deutlich besser schmecken lässt.
I made the stew today but I actually used your receipt and marie johnsons. So it was sweet potato, smoked tofu, mushrooms, cherry tomatos, chickpeas, onion, garlic, caned tomato purree, veggy stock and some spices and siracha👌
Love to see someone using as many frozen herbs and onions as I do. Frosta rules! - Their frozen garlic is great as well btw. Especially right now when there doesn't seem to be really fresh garlic in the stores.
My go to low effort meal (and just general favourite meal) is oatmeal. However, some pasta with store bought arrabbiata sauce and vegan Italian sausage is phenomenal.
These all look absolutely supreme! Don't know which to try out first, all I know is that with time being extra rare at the moment entering exam period, low effort recipes, that are guaranteed to be delicious (as they always are) are the best! Thankyou for the inspiration and wonderful content! 😊💚 Help make the day extra awesome, and hope you have a wonderful day 💚
Ich liebe diese Videos uff. Ich koche gerne und auch gesund und habe das meiste zu Hause. Ich werd so viel nachkochen, ich bin so faul und esse gefühlt jeden Tag Reis aber jetzt habe ich gute Ideen für ne Abwechslung. Thaaanks 🙏🏻
I’d say vegan fideo is my low effort go-to when I want something homemade and cozy. I blend two medium sized tomatoes, two garlic cloves, a little less than half an onion and water. Then I toast fideo (any type of small pasta works, I like using shells too) with some oil in a pot until they begin to brown. You’ll know when it’s ready bc it smells amazing. Then I throw in the tomato blend in and bring it to a boil. Go ahead and add some more water bc the broth will evaporate some. At this point I chop up two celery sticks and one carrot. For seasoning I use about a half tablespoon of oregano, some salt and pepper to taste. Then I add about a tablespoon of better than bouillon vegetable flavor. That stuff is crack in a jar I love it. I throw in the celery and carrot and cook until they soften, I like to leave the celery just a tad crunchy bc I like the texture. And that’s about it. Serve in a bowl, top with lime and hot sauce (optional).
I love frying gnocchi (store-bought, from Rewe) in some oil with onions and garlic (add agave syrup to caramelize them). I then add a few cherry tomatoes, let it fry for a bit, season it with some salt and pepper and eventually add fresh basil. Top it off with a handful of arugola, let it wilt down for a bit. Then serve! :)
easy recipe rec: like to make vegan chickpea "tuna" salad! so mash up a can of chickpeas, add 1/4 a cup of vegan mayo (hummus or an advocado w some mayo works too), add like 2 stalks of diced celery, diced half of a red onion, some garlic powder, salt, pepper, a little paprika, and the juice of half a lemon. You can serve on bread/toast, with crackers, or as a veggie dip. You can also throw in some cilantro if you want! So good!
if you ever find yourself making any of these ideas¨ Me literally food prepping to make every single recipe for the following days¿¿?? every time i watch her videos its my guide of what I´ll be eating in the week.
A meal I like to cook is broccoli cream with pastas : - cut the broccoli in really small pieces, and when I say small I mean it should be almost in powder (maybe you can use your food processor! I don't have one.) - cook it on a pan with a bit of water. - meanwhile, you can cook the pastas - add olive oil, soy sauce and apple cider vinegar to the pan of broccolis, when the water has been absorbed. - when you think the broccolis are cooked, add 1 brick of non-dairy cream, turmeric powder, oregano and sunflower seeds. Salt and pepper to taste. mix it. Voilà! And you can serve it together. I really love this meal. It makes a very creamy and smooth sauce. It goes well with rice too.I even think it could be put on bread!
My favorite low effort meal is fried rice. I take an onion and fry it up in some oil, then add the leftover rice and some soy sauce and cook it until the rice starts to get crispy. I top it with some hot sauce :)
Rice Papers !! you can geht them pretty affordable at asia shops and can fill them with anyyything you have laying around (leftovers, veggies, chickpeas, dips....) so easy and jummmyy
i'm not a vegan or even vegetarian but these dishes genuinely look soooo good and healthy so i'll definitely be sure to try some of them in the future! also you're really pretty
Baked oatmeal 'cake' looks amazing. You're a saviour you always give me ideas ✌ My go to low effort meal lately would be a boiled potato, whatever greens I have at hand(lettuce, dill, and parsley with a little bit arugula is my fave), grape (or any really) tomatoes, little bit of raw onion chopped finely (can leave it in water to rid of the extra onion flavour, but I like raw onion flavour), lots of lemon juice, cumin, black pep, tiny bit of ground corriender seeds, and salt to taste. I then top them with one or two handfuls of chickpeas I warmed up in a pan a with some bbq sauce, cumin, black pepper, paprika, tiny bit of salt and tiny bit of tabasco or I'm sure some sriracha would be amazing instead. Oh and maybe a little drizzle of olive oil. I add the chickpeas later but if you let the salad rest in the fridge like an hour or two it'll taste even better. And let me tell you. Leftovers are a blessing with this one. I'd make sure to add the chickpeas only when I'm ready to eat though
I made this soup recipe a couple weeks ago. It was a huge success with my girlfriend. You can really adapt this with any vegetables/protein you have on hand. The coconut, lime, tomato, and green chili broth is really what you’re after. 1/2 onion 1 sweet red pepper 1/2 green chili (jalapeño or serrano pepper, seeds optionally removed) 1 zucchini/courgette A couple handfuls of greens (spinach or chopped kale) 1/2 lime Cilantro/coriander 1 can coconut milk 1 can plain tomato sauce 1 can drained/rinsed chickpeas Chop your onion and sweet red pepper. Then mince your jalapeño or Serrano pepper. Cut your zucchini/courgette into half moon shapes. Sauté everything in oil until vegetables begin to soften and gain some color. Then add the cans of chickpeas, coconut milk, and tomato sauce. Simmer until veggies are tender and chickpeas softened. The last few minutes of cooking, add your greens. Finally add juice of half a lime to soup and season with salt to taste. Serve over steamed rice or grain of choice and garnish with cilantro/coriander.
