Welcome to Cook Thirty.
I'm Jeremy Dixon from the
00:00:21.12\00:00:24.09
Revived Cafes in Auckland,
New Zealand, and also author
00:00:24.12\00:00:27.02
of the Revived Cafe cookbooks.
And today I want to share
00:00:27.06\00:00:30.43
with you some delicious, healthy
cafe style meals you can cook
00:00:30.46\00:00:34.16
at home. Cook 30 Food is
all about using whole foods.
00:00:34.20\00:00:37.87
We're gonna be using healthy
plant based proteins like beans
00:00:37.90\00:00:42.20
lentils and nuts. Whole
grains like bran rice and quinoa
00:00:42.24\00:00:46.51
lots of international
flavors and herbs and spices
00:00:46.54\00:00:49.91
and fresh fruit and vegetables.
And the best part about Cook 30
00:00:49.94\00:00:54.38
Food is you don't have to spend
hours slaving in the kitchen
00:00:54.42\00:00:57.75
to make it. In the next
30 minutes I'm gonna show you
00:00:57.79\00:01:00.82
how easy it can be to make
a great healthy meal for your
00:01:00.86\00:01:04.23
family. On today's menu we have
a Thai theme. We're starting
00:01:04.26\00:01:09.10
with a Thai red curry with chick
peas, we're gonna be serving
00:01:09.13\00:01:12.77
over rice noodles flavored
with cilantro and lime juice.
00:01:12.80\00:01:16.20
We have a Thai ginger coleslaw
and to finish it off a delicious
00:01:16.24\00:01:21.74
Thai dessert. Sticky rice mango.
00:01:21.78\00:01:26.41
Okay, to make a meal in 30
minutes you gotta make sure
00:01:27.45\00:01:30.59
your kitchen is totally prepared
and ready. We've got a hot pan
00:01:30.62\00:01:34.26
on the stove ready to go.
Chopping board, sharp knife
00:01:34.29\00:01:38.76
clear work space. We've got
some boiling water in the jug
00:01:38.79\00:01:42.93
already boiled and our fridge
and pantry is stocked with all
00:01:42.96\00:01:45.97
the ingredients we're gonna
need. This is the most important
00:01:46.00\00:01:48.64
part about cooking fast. A
few minutes in planning can make
00:01:48.67\00:01:51.44
a big difference when you need
to get things out in a hurry.
00:01:51.47\00:01:54.21
To start off with the curry,
the first ingredient is onions.
00:01:55.01\00:01:57.98
So we're gonna start
with this brown onion.
00:01:58.01\00:02:00.78
I'm going to chop it up, dice
it up and then we're going to
00:02:00.82\00:02:05.55
sauté it with
some oil and garlic.
00:02:05.59\00:02:09.22
So onions are great way
to start any vegetarian meal
00:02:09.26\00:02:14.20
It gives such a
great depth of flavor.
00:02:14.23\00:02:16.77
So again you don't have to chop
them too fine but just put them
00:02:18.57\00:02:22.27
in one lot and then chop them
a bit and you've got yourself
00:02:22.30\00:02:25.94
some really great onions
ready to go. A little bit of oil
00:02:25.97\00:02:31.58
You want to make sure the
pan is sizzling when you throw
00:02:38.92\00:02:43.22
things in them. Next ingredient
you want two cloves of garlic
00:02:43.26\00:02:48.43
and the quickest way to
put garlic in a meal is to get
00:02:50.10\00:02:53.57
two nice healthy cloves straight
in the press and press through
00:02:53.60\00:03:02.74
just like that. Look at that!
00:03:02.78\00:03:08.38
We're gonna add ginger. Ginger
is great for any kind of Thai
00:03:08.42\00:03:12.52
or Asian dish. So we've
got two tablespoons of ginger.
00:03:12.55\00:03:15.52
I'm using ginger puree today
but you can use just normal
00:03:15.56\00:03:18.59
chopped ginger if you want.
Another great Thai ingredient
00:03:18.63\00:03:22.16
is lemon grass. You can use some
lemon grass chopped up very fine
00:03:22.20\00:03:26.57
or there's this great lemon
grass paste you can get at the
00:03:26.60\00:03:29.37
supermarket as well. So two
tablespoons of lemon grass paste
00:03:29.40\00:03:33.27
and this just seals out this
dish full of lovely Thai flavors
00:03:33.31\00:03:39.15
So when we come to add the
final ingredient the flavor
00:03:39.18\00:03:41.45
work has already been done.
00:03:41.48\00:03:43.89
Just take about five minutes
to sauté and for those onions to
00:03:46.62\00:03:50.86
caramelize and
lose their raw flavor.
00:03:50.89\00:03:53.73
Okay, noodles. We're
gonna serve on noodles.
00:03:53.76\00:03:55.96
We've got the rice noodles
you find at the supermarket
00:03:56.00\00:03:58.70
And just get some of these
noodles. We're not gonna cook
00:04:00.04\00:04:03.10
them, we're just gonna put them
in boiling water. Just pick a
00:04:03.14\00:04:05.74
random pot with a lid.
Put the noodles in, like that
00:04:05.77\00:04:10.61
And we're gonna put boiling
water which was boiled before
00:04:14.22\00:04:16.82
over the top of them and
this will take anywhere between
00:04:16.85\00:04:20.26
5 to 12 minutes depending
on the noodle, how thick it is
00:04:20.29\00:04:24.03
and how much water you have.
Put the lid on and it will just
00:04:24.06\00:04:28.46
slowly start to cook and become
soft. So by the time we're
00:04:28.50\00:04:31.13
ready to serve it will
be well and truly done.
00:04:31.17\00:04:33.54
So that's a great
start to our Thai meal.
00:04:34.70\00:04:37.57
Now let's add some
really nice flavors to this base
00:04:39.51\00:04:41.61
We've got some coriander
powder 2 teaspoons of it
00:04:41.64\00:04:46.18
and we've got some Thai
Red Curry paste. This stuff is
00:04:50.12\00:04:52.82
amazing. You can make your
own which is great but in a
00:04:52.85\00:04:55.02
situation like this we want a
quick flavor burst this is just
00:04:56.16\00:04:59.09
excellent. So you use 2 teaspoon
of this Thai curry paste
00:04:59.13\00:05:04.17
you can find them in My
Super Markets and Asian stores
00:05:04.20\00:05:07.04
and again you can use as
much or little as you want
00:05:09.27\00:05:12.54
just mix it with a little
bit of water so that it evenly
00:05:12.57\00:05:16.64
distributes through the dish.
Give it a bit of stir around
00:05:16.68\00:05:21.52
We're going to pour it in.
00:05:21.55\00:05:23.39
And I'm going to add some
honey 2 tablespoons of honey or
00:05:27.69\00:05:30.99
date puree or agave or
some healthy sweetener of choice
00:05:31.03\00:05:35.10
and a teaspoon of salt and stir
that around and leave for those
00:05:37.37\00:05:44.31
flavors to heat. We want to
activate those flavors with heat
00:05:44.34\00:05:49.71
Turn up the heat
just a little bit.
00:05:53.11\00:05:56.89
You just know the curry is going
to taste good with all these
00:05:56.92\00:05:59.19
flavors in the beginning. That's
the secret. You need to add
00:05:59.22\00:06:01.76
the flavors at the beginning of
the curries to make them taste
00:06:01.79\00:06:03.79
good. Once you get to the end
and it doesn't taste quite right
00:06:03.83\00:06:05.89
it's very hard to add flavor.
00:06:05.93\00:06:09.63
We're going to add some
bell peppers or capsicum.
00:06:09.66\00:06:14.44
I'm going to add half of a
green one and half of a red one
00:06:14.47\00:06:16.87
just to add some color
and a bit of vegetables.
00:06:19.14\00:06:21.84
We're just gonna get
rid of all those seeds.
00:06:21.88\00:06:26.11
And we're gonna slice them thin.
00:06:26.15\00:06:28.68
Again you want a really
nice sharp knife to be able to
00:06:29.68\00:06:33.19
do this. And often with these
kind of peppers the knife can
00:06:33.22\00:06:37.19
actually slide off and get your
finger. So make sure you've got
00:06:37.23\00:06:41.43
you're alert with everything
and you've got a sharp knife
00:06:41.46\00:06:45.63
If you've got a blunt knife
you can actually slice from the
00:06:45.67\00:06:48.27
other side and it's safer.
But it's much better to do this.
00:06:48.30\00:06:51.97
When you're slicing make sure
you're slicing with a rocking
00:06:52.01\00:06:53.98
action. You're not slicing
down you're making the blade do
00:06:54.01\00:06:57.38
all the work. You're slicing
through in a nice, gentle
00:06:57.41\00:07:00.52
rocking motion. It
gets every thing cut nicely.
00:07:00.55\00:07:03.92
Put these in there. I'm
not going to overcook those
00:07:05.29\00:07:11.53
because I want them
to retain color and shape
00:07:11.56\00:07:14.46
Now I've got some crushed
tomatoes. They're good to bulk
00:07:14.50\00:07:20.37
up the dish, add a bit of
redness and they're just quite
00:07:20.40\00:07:23.87
nice in a red curry. Again
we've got crushed tomatoes.
00:07:23.91\00:07:27.44
It's mainly like a tomato puree
rather than chunks of tomato
00:07:27.48\00:07:33.35
in water. If it's just chunks
of tomato or whole tomatoes,
00:07:33.38\00:07:36.89
make sure you blend it out first
for a nice thick consistency
00:07:36.92\00:07:40.89
I've got some
garbanzo beans or chick peas
00:07:45.96\00:07:49.16
This is going to be the
protein part of the curry
00:07:49.20\00:07:52.23
Again for this type of curry
you can add tofu or any kind
00:07:53.87\00:07:57.61
of beans or lentils. It's very,
very flexible with what sort of
00:07:57.64\00:08:01.41
additions you
want to make to it.
00:08:01.44\00:08:03.95
Just drain those in the sink
00:08:05.45\00:08:10.52
And we're just
going to pour them in.
00:08:12.02\00:08:14.16
And this is pretty much most
of the ingredients in the curry
00:08:18.03\00:08:21.40
It will be left here to sit
for the next 10-15 minutes until
00:08:21.43\00:08:24.43
we serve and all these flavors
are going to start to mingle
00:08:24.47\00:08:28.50
they're going to be heated
through and right at the end
00:08:28.54\00:08:31.44
we're going to add a little bit
of coconut cream to thicken it
00:08:31.47\00:08:34.14
So there we go. The main
part of the curry is underway
00:08:34.81\00:08:37.88
I've got a really
delicious coleslaw to make.
00:08:41.98\00:08:44.19
If you don't like coleslaw,
you're gonna love this one
00:08:44.22\00:08:46.65
A Thai ginger coleslaw.
00:08:46.69\00:08:49.06
To start with we're
going to make the dressing
00:08:49.09\00:08:51.33
To save dishes we're going to
make the dressing in the bottom
00:08:51.36\00:08:52.93
of the bowl. So again
we're going to the lemon grass
00:08:52.96\00:08:56.10
We're going to put in two table
spoons of lemon grass and again
00:08:56.13\00:08:59.97
if you wanted to you could use
chopped lemon grass, some ginger
00:09:00.00\00:09:05.11
a tablespoon of ginger puree
I'm going to add some limes
00:09:05.14\00:09:10.51
and lemon juice which
is a great addition to
00:09:10.55\00:09:12.88
any good dressing. You want
about 2-3 tablespoons of each
00:09:12.91\00:09:20.22
of lemon juice and lime juice
00:09:20.26\00:09:24.13
I think we're getting
about a tablespoon per half
00:09:24.16\00:09:29.73
And you can save on dishes by
making the dressing in the bowl
00:09:31.80\00:09:34.90
I'll pour it in,
strain it through my fingers.
00:09:43.91\00:09:47.88
Don't know if any
lemon seeds made it in there.
00:09:47.92\00:09:52.49
Just grab those out.
00:09:52.52\00:09:56.19
Going to get some
honey. One tablespoon of honey.
00:10:00.80\00:10:03.63
For a bit of sweetness. Here
are some chili seeds. I couldn't
00:10:03.67\00:10:09.20
find any chilies that
are really, really hot
00:10:09.24\00:10:12.67
or had no flavor at all.
So I'm adding some chili paste
00:10:12.71\00:10:15.68
That's about half a teaspoon
there. That's probably a little
00:10:15.71\00:10:20.42
bit more. You want to
go under rather than over.
00:10:20.45\00:10:22.38
Just a little sprinkle of salt.
Two tablespoons of sesame oil
00:10:23.79\00:10:30.49
This is the ingredient
that's going to make this taste
00:10:30.53\00:10:33.29
amazing. So there we go.
Just going to stir it up.
00:10:33.33\00:10:40.90
Mix it up so
ingredients are combined.
00:10:40.94\00:10:45.17
Lots of great Thai flavors in
there and flavors when they're
00:10:50.98\00:10:53.92
raw like this will be different
than the flavors in the curry.
00:10:53.95\00:10:56.99
Here we go. So now it's
time to add our vegetables
00:11:00.69\00:11:05.79
to the coleslaw. So
we'll start with the carrots.
00:11:05.83\00:11:08.56
Put the top on
here. Oops it's on!
00:11:08.60\00:11:11.53
I'm going to grate these carrots
quickly. I want 7 cups in all
00:11:11.57\00:11:17.27
So I'm going to use about
3 carrots for this coleslaw
00:11:17.31\00:11:21.68
Just chop the ends
off. And just turn it on.
00:11:30.49\00:11:38.33
And look how fast it
can make some grates.
00:11:38.36\00:11:44.37
Here we go. We
start with the carrots.
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.24
And now we're going
to use the slicer blade
00:11:49.27\00:11:51.97
And this is another blade.
This one can actually turn it
00:11:56.68\00:11:59.21
to make it as wide
or thin as you want.
00:11:59.25\00:12:01.88
Some come with a thin slicer
on one side and a thick slicer
00:12:01.92\00:12:05.79
on the other side. So
we'll go medium slice.
00:12:05.82\00:12:09.89
So once you use these
tools that are in your kitchen
00:12:11.83\00:12:15.90
you're gonna wanna
use them all the time.
00:12:15.93\00:12:17.83
So get another
cupboard and get using them.
00:12:17.87\00:12:19.93
So we'll start with cabbage.
We want to take the leaves off
00:12:19.97\00:12:25.34
the outside and we just want
to have it big enough so it can
00:12:26.57\00:12:30.31
put it through the
top of the food processor.
00:12:30.35\00:12:37.15
Just like this.
00:12:40.66\00:12:48.20
Look how quick that
makes a great amount of salad.
00:12:48.23\00:12:52.63
And here you go, simply
00:12:56.30\00:12:58.54
Empty the coleslaw mix into the
bowl. Kind of mix it around as
00:13:00.28\00:13:06.72
you do and we're going
to dress it before we serve
00:13:06.75\00:13:09.48
if we dress it now it's
going to start going, you know
00:13:09.52\00:13:13.46
the dressing is gonna go
into the vegetables. We're just
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.72
gonna leave it at the bottom
and give it a tossup right
00:13:15.76\00:13:18.09
before we serve and that way
maximize the amount of freshness
00:13:18.13\00:13:22.16
we have in the coleslaw as well.
00:13:22.20\00:13:23.53
Just give it a bit
of, play around at the top
00:13:23.57\00:13:28.84
the red cabbage is an important
ingredient for a lot of color
00:13:28.87\00:13:31.17
and we'll garnish that
with some cilantro as well
00:13:31.21\00:13:33.51
to make it nice and green.
00:13:33.54\00:13:34.88
If you've just joined us
at Cook 30 we're making a
00:13:37.75\00:13:39.75
delicious Thai meal. We're
starting with a Thai red curry
00:13:39.78\00:13:44.02
with chick peas serving on
rice noodles with cilantro and
00:13:44.05\00:13:47.66
lime juice. We have an
amazing Thai ginger coleslaw
00:13:47.69\00:13:52.63
and to finish, Sticky Rice
Mango a favorite Thai dessert
00:13:52.66\00:13:57.23
So, speaking of
dessert, let's crack into it.
00:13:57.27\00:14:00.44
I'm going to get some rice
out of the fridge. When you're
00:14:00.47\00:14:03.10
cooking rice make sure you cook
extra, have it in the fridge
00:14:03.14\00:14:06.17
cause there's so many things
you can make really quickly
00:14:06.21\00:14:08.68
with pre cooked rice. So
we're gonna start with a hot pan
00:14:08.71\00:14:12.51
and we're gonna put in two cups
or thereabout of pre cooked rice
00:14:12.55\00:14:16.48
You can use long grain or
short grain whichever you prefer
00:14:16.52\00:14:20.79
and we're just going to
add some coconut milk to this.
00:14:20.82\00:14:26.26
So this can of coconut milk I'm
gonna use half for the dessert
00:14:26.29\00:14:29.06
and half for the curry.
Just stir and pour it in there
00:14:29.10\00:14:37.14
And we're just gonna stir that
and the rice is going to soak up
00:14:43.28\00:14:47.35
all that lovely coconut milk
and become the base for dessert
00:14:47.38\00:14:52.42
Add a little sweetness. So
again some honey. You can use
00:14:53.79\00:14:57.03
any healthy sweetener you've
got about 1-2 tablespoons honey
00:14:57.06\00:15:02.06
and we're going to add some
lime juice just to give it a bit
00:15:03.03\00:15:06.50
of flavor in the dish
itself. The juice of one lime
00:15:06.53\00:15:13.48
It's probably around 1-2 table
spoons. Again a very flexible
00:15:13.51\00:15:18.38
mixture to have. I'll
turn the gas up a bit.
00:15:18.41\00:15:21.85
And when it starts bubbling
it will start to thicken
00:15:21.88\00:15:25.05
and be the sticky part
of the sticky mango rice.
00:15:25.09\00:15:28.56
So just leave it there on low
heat and it will slowly start
00:15:28.59\00:15:32.26
to thicken. Okay, Mango. And on
top of that all you need to put
00:15:32.29\00:15:37.73
is just mango. So select a nice
mango and be sure to get some
00:15:37.77\00:15:41.47
nice cheeks off. Just cut around
the stone. Figure out where the
00:15:41.50\00:15:46.14
stone is and cut as
close as you can, like that
00:15:46.17\00:15:51.21
And then I just like to
slice off the peel of the mango
00:15:52.41\00:15:56.85
like this. Of course you
need a very good, sharp knife
00:15:56.89\00:16:01.96
I've traveled to Thailand
and they make this in all their
00:16:06.86\00:16:10.90
food courts in the side of the
road, it's delicious street food
00:16:10.93\00:16:14.17
although being in Thailand all
of these processed sugars and
00:16:14.20\00:16:17.64
lots of things you
want to _. This is a good
00:16:17.67\00:16:21.01
healthy food you
can make at home.
00:16:21.04\00:16:23.71
Here we go and again
we're just going to slice it up
00:16:30.95\00:16:34.82
really thinly and when you
slice it you may have to hold
00:16:34.86\00:16:40.20
each slice as you
slice so it doesn't jump up
00:16:40.23\00:16:44.17
cause you want all
slices to remain together
00:16:44.20\00:16:47.70
One mango done and two mangoes.
00:16:49.97\00:16:54.14
Again roll your knife through
you're not going up and down
00:16:55.28\00:16:58.21
you're going sliding through
in a kind of knife action
00:16:58.25\00:17:01.65
Look at that. This is thickening
up nicely it may take a few more
00:17:01.68\00:17:06.29
minutes. We'll just check
on the curry while we're here
00:17:06.32\00:17:11.09
This is going lovely. Want
to add a little bit of water
00:17:11.13\00:17:15.76
It's just that it's getting
quite thick. Just to keep it
00:17:15.80\00:17:20.74
hydrated. As you can see all
those flavors are intensifying
00:17:20.77\00:17:24.67
and there's the lovely base of
all those delicious Thai flavors
00:17:24.71\00:17:27.81
So while the rice is thickening
up we can finish the noodles
00:17:30.65\00:17:34.32
Just see what's going on
here. See all the noodles here
00:17:34.35\00:17:38.35
Giving it a quick taste. Perfect
It is just hard enough to the
00:17:38.39\00:17:44.29
bite but they're
not hard and chewy.
00:17:44.33\00:17:46.09
Drain all the water out.
Now you might want to serve the
00:17:57.27\00:18:01.94
curry over the noodles like
this and they will be perfectly
00:18:01.98\00:18:04.25
acceptable but it's much more
fun to add some extra flavors.
00:18:04.28\00:18:08.25
So I'm going to add some
cilantro or coriander depending
00:18:12.05\00:18:18.73
on what country you come from.
A nice big handful of cilantro
00:18:18.76\00:18:25.17
cut very thickly. We're
going to add a bit of oil,
00:18:25.20\00:18:30.64
about 1-2 tablespoons.
I'm going to add some salt
00:18:30.67\00:18:38.45
and some lime juice. And
this combination of flavors
00:18:38.48\00:18:45.25
really make these noodles
enjoyable rather than just
00:18:45.29\00:18:49.02
a bland accompaniment.
It's going to be absolutely
00:18:49.06\00:18:54.90
delicious. So again with
any curry you want to serve with
00:18:58.17\00:19:00.24
some kind of grain so we have
rice noodles here. Or you could
00:19:00.27\00:19:03.24
serve it over brown rice, serve
it over quinoa, or over bulgur
00:19:03.27\00:19:07.78
wheat which is tabbouli.
So there's plenty of lovely
00:19:07.81\00:19:11.25
dishes you can serve it
with. Just kind of mix it around
00:19:11.28\00:19:15.82
it's going to be a
beautiful addition to all this.
00:19:22.12\00:19:24.19
Have a bit of a try.
Mmm. Just a touch more salt.
00:19:24.23\00:19:30.27
There we go. I'm
going to serve it in a bowl.
00:19:37.01\00:19:41.11
I'm going to put it here
and it can go on the table
00:19:41.14\00:19:45.45
just like that. Oops!.
00:19:45.48\00:19:48.78
That's ready to serve. We'll
put a lid on it to keep warm
00:19:53.99\00:19:57.69
in the meantime.
That is finished.
00:19:57.73\00:19:59.76
Now my sticky rice is
getting stickier, check that out
00:20:01.26\00:20:07.30
Oops, dropped a
bit of curry in there!
00:20:08.84\00:20:11.37
So we're going to
put that on a plate
00:20:11.41\00:20:17.05
and on top I'm going
to put a lovely mango
00:20:26.45\00:20:31.23
And a good way when you've got
any kind of fruit is to fan it
00:20:31.26\00:20:35.93
grab it like this and
then just fan it like this
00:20:35.96\00:20:38.83
into a nice little angle.
Just present it a little better
00:20:38.87\00:20:44.11
Give it a little
fan, adjust it like that
00:20:44.14\00:20:47.44
and put it on like that. Here
we go, that's one jumped out
00:20:47.48\00:20:52.41
It's a great dessert. To
finish it just a little bit of
00:20:52.45\00:20:56.58
drizzle of
coconut cream over the top
00:20:59.45\00:21:03.16
and on top a really delicious
ingredient, toasted sesame seeds
00:21:03.19\00:21:08.60
You can buy them toasted or
if you don't have toasted seeds
00:21:08.63\00:21:12.10
just pour them in a pan and
heat them in a dry pan for 3-4
00:21:12.13\00:21:16.87
minutes Over the mango
just a lovely subtle dressing
00:21:18.14\00:21:23.35
and there you have a healthy
version of sticky rice mango
00:21:23.38\00:21:27.38
Ready for the table. Okay
the curry is now looking lovely
00:21:27.42\00:21:33.82
Look at that! Beautiful. So
to finish it off we're going
00:21:33.86\00:21:38.93
to add the rest
of the coconut milk
00:21:38.96\00:21:42.20
and stir that around
00:21:42.23\00:21:47.77
and that just gives it that nice
creaminess that curries have
00:21:47.80\00:21:53.11
and again another great garnish
to have on top is cilantro
00:21:53.14\00:22:00.48
more of the cilantro
that's here. Just chop this up
00:22:00.52\00:22:03.99
and put it on top
00:22:04.02\00:22:09.96
Turn off the heat and it's
ready for the table as well.
00:22:09.99\00:22:15.70
The coleslaw is ready as
well. We're going to pick up
00:22:20.64\00:22:24.67
the coleslaw with all that
beautiful dressing underneath
00:22:24.71\00:22:28.84
all that lime juice, lemon
juice. I'm just going to dress
00:22:28.88\00:22:34.18
that salad just subtly
and bring it to the top
00:22:34.22\00:22:37.59
it's going to be
lovely and fresh.
00:22:37.62\00:22:42.89
This coleslaw is probably
the most popular coleslaw in my
00:22:45.03\00:22:48.66
cafe. So we have it on
virtually every week of the year
00:22:48.70\00:22:52.57
you go to my website
you'll see it on the weekly menu
00:22:52.60\00:22:55.37
revived.com.nz. And
it's just a popular thing and
00:22:55.40\00:22:59.21
the good thing about cabbage
and carrot is that generally
00:22:59.24\00:23:01.91
they're an all
year round vegetable.
00:23:01.94\00:23:03.35
So you can have it all year
round. Again some more cilantro
00:23:05.38\00:23:09.28
or coriander just to garnish it
00:23:09.32\00:23:14.89
and another secret garnishing
ingredient is black sesame seeds
00:23:14.92\00:23:20.10
See if you find
these in your health store
00:23:21.50\00:23:22.86
and these just add beautiful
color to any salad or meal
00:23:22.90\00:23:27.84
so make sure you stock up some
of these next time you see them
00:23:27.87\00:23:30.57
Look at that!
00:23:32.77\00:23:35.14
I want to share with you
some of the secret ingredients
00:23:35.94\00:23:40.15
I have in my pantry at
home and also in the cafes.
00:23:40.18\00:23:42.95
Starting here you want
some really good whole grains
00:23:42.98\00:23:46.19
Brown rice is an amazing
grain to have. Usually it takes
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.96
round about 25-30 minutes,
so it's not that long to cook
00:23:49.99\00:23:53.19
but quinoa, this beautiful
grain here only takes 12 minutes
00:23:53.23\00:23:57.63
so if you're in a
hurry and you want a grain
00:23:57.67\00:23:59.50
quinoa is the one
to have in your pantry.
00:23:59.53\00:24:01.64
whole meal pasta. Don't go
with that white stuff. Make sure
00:24:01.67\00:24:05.41
its whole meal. It's much
better for you and can taste
00:24:05.44\00:24:08.11
great as well. All these
legumes and beans are wonderful
00:24:08.14\00:24:12.38
and what I do is I cook beans
or chick peas ahead of time
00:24:12.41\00:24:16.15
and I store them in my freezer
in little plastic containers
00:24:16.18\00:24:20.66
cheaper and much quicker and
you've got delicious proteins
00:24:20.69\00:24:25.16
sources on hand all the time.
And these little red lentils
00:24:25.19\00:24:28.30
are amazing for fast meals.
It only takes around 10 minutes
00:24:28.33\00:24:31.77
to cook each time. So I
recommend that you can use
00:24:31.80\00:24:36.10
those as well. Have
those in your cupboard.
00:24:36.14\00:24:38.41
Ok, the can sections
are really important too.
00:24:38.44\00:24:41.34
Cans are amazing because they
don't go off. Crushed tomatoes
00:24:41.38\00:24:46.55
is something you should
have in your pantry at all times
00:24:46.58\00:24:48.68
all these canned beans as
well if you're not freezing them
00:24:48.72\00:24:51.62
Coconut cream is really
good. Pineapple, canned corn
00:24:51.65\00:24:55.46
all these great ingredients
that you can have open up and
00:24:55.49\00:24:58.76
be there in an instant. Spices!
Cumin, coriander and turmeric
00:24:58.79\00:25:05.83
are three I recommend you have
at all times. They go together
00:25:05.87\00:25:08.04
really well. Smoked paprika
is amazing too. A little bit of
00:25:08.07\00:25:12.34
cayenne pepper can add
something to a meal or dish.
00:25:12.37\00:25:14.94
And get a nice curry mix
as well. They're good to have.
00:25:14.98\00:25:21.68
Things like fennel seeds, cumin
seeds, they're good to have too.
00:25:21.72\00:25:26.96
Lots of nuts. Cashew nuts.
You get those in small pieces
00:25:26.99\00:25:31.46
cheaper as well. Walnuts.
Almonds. With almonds you can
00:25:31.49\00:25:35.13
have them whole, slivered,
you can have them in different
00:25:35.16\00:25:38.20
shapes as well. I've got
dates, raisins and sesame seeds
00:25:38.23\00:25:41.87
all these great ingredients you
can use. So there's an insight
00:25:41.90\00:25:45.47
to my pantry and
having it well stocked.
00:25:45.51\00:25:47.74
It will really, really help
you as you look for each family
00:25:47.78\00:25:50.75
nutritious meals, meals
that are easy to cook and meals
00:25:50.78\00:25:54.28
that you can cook in a
very short time as well.
00:25:54.32\00:25:57.12
We have a delicious Thai meal
for your family in 30 minutes.
00:25:59.05\00:26:02.42
This wonderful chick pea
curry, absolutely amazing!
00:26:02.46\00:26:06.73
Served over cilantro lime
juice noodles, lots of flavors
00:26:06.76\00:26:11.80
happening there. And of course
one of the most popular salads
00:26:11.83\00:26:15.44
in my Cafe, the
Thai Ginger Coleslaw.
00:26:15.47\00:26:18.91
All those flavors bursting
through the wonderful dressing
00:26:18.94\00:26:22.41
And of course to
finish off, a dessert.
00:26:22.44\00:26:25.21
We have Sticky Rice Mango with
a fresh mango and lime juice
00:26:25.25\00:26:28.95
and that brown rice as well.
00:26:28.98\00:26:30.85
Thank you for
joining me on Cook 30.
00:26:30.89\00:26:32.69
I look forward to
seeing you next time.
00:26:32.72\00:26:37.29
