Heyo friends, thanks for watching! and SPECIAL thanks to Woon Heng for the recipe. Let me know what you'd like to see next!

@rmmr7935 3 года назад

Hey merle, we Indians use something called soya chunks which has a similar texture to that of meat and u can really get super creative with this ingredient. I recommend you to make vegan Kung pao with soya chunks... there are so many recipes for this dish on the internet. Hope you will look into it:)

@mollyscozykitchen4693 3 года назад

I don't know the original recipe, but there's apparently a way to make chicken drumsticks out of tofu skins! I'd love to see you try it, Merle! I think emmymade and a couple other people have made a version of it. Lovely video, as always!

@akshaybandi1127 3 года назад

Hi Merle… so I follow many of your vegan recipes. Well I want you to try making something using stem of a banana plant, it has great meaty texture. In India we make Chinese style manchurian, chats, curries n so on. Fun fact is that every part of banana plant is edible including roots, flower, leaves and they all have a meaty kick. So will be waiting to see u come up with some recipe out of it which can be meat substitute.

@flow4458 3 года назад

@@ayandahadebe2311 I grew up in a very meaty household, there was like one to two dinners per week that didn't have meat and one of them was fish, so I agree that it can be intimidating, but honestly, after like 2 weeks I was sooo happy with the changes I've made that I would never go back... I love that you think about it😊.

@alienpotato1834 3 года назад

Tbh im not fully vegan myself either yet but i found it easier to start from eating more plant based diets every day. its ok to never go fully vegan, and even just consuming a plant-forward to diet can make an impact.

More than 20 years ago, I used to live in Japan, before going vegan, unagi used to be one of my favorite dishes. As a child, in Italy, my mum used to cook eels for us but I really didn't like the oily texture. Unagi in Japan was light, smoked, highly digestible and unbelievably tasty. Now we have it vegan??? OMG!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
