00:01:03.52\00:01:05.01
going with our
recipes, just a little bit about
00:01:05.04\00:01:06.80
your ministry and what you do?
00:01:06.83\00:01:08.09
Well, I own a
restaurant in health food store
00:01:08.89\00:01:11.30
in Ardmore,
Oklahoma called Veggies,
00:01:11.33\00:01:13.69
and we also have a
school of health evangelism
00:01:14.23\00:01:18.10
called Shine, which
is academe for school
00:01:18.98\00:01:21.11
of health integrating
natural remedies and evangelism.
00:01:21.14\00:01:24.44
School of health
integrating natural remedies
00:01:25.13\00:01:26.95
and evangelism. Yes.
Okay, that's awesome,
00:01:26.98\00:01:30.11
how long you had the school.
00:01:30.30\00:01:31.27
I had, well we just
graduated our first class.
00:01:31.28\00:01:33.48
So our first six month class
graduated at the end of May
00:01:34.31\00:01:38.02
and so we are
looking forward to another
00:01:38.78\00:01:40.15
class in August starting.
Yes, yes. So they are like
00:01:40.18\00:01:42.95
six months, six
months. One five month class,
00:01:42.98\00:01:45.44
and one six month
class, and our students are,
00:01:45.47\00:01:49.31
we just take a
small group of students,
00:01:49.51\00:01:51.56
and they learn
how to do massage,
00:01:51.76\00:01:52.87
they are certified in
massage when they are done.
00:01:52.90\00:01:55.28
They work with depression
recovery with Dr. Neil Nedley.
00:01:55.91\00:01:59.36
Yes, that's fantastic.
Yes, his program is wonderful.
00:01:59.87\00:02:02.14
Absolutely. And
they learn how to cook.
00:02:02.17\00:02:03.71
How to cook
wonderful vegetarian food
00:02:03.74\00:02:05.92
in our restaurant.
Yes, so you use them
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.08
in the restaurant.
We, because we are able
00:02:08.11\00:02:10.40
to use them in the restaurant,
00:02:10.43\00:02:11.58
they do not pay
tuition for the school.
00:02:11.61\00:02:13.62
They pay a very small
amount for room and board,
00:02:14.06\00:02:16.48
and for books, and then
the rest of it is on hands,
00:02:16.51\00:02:20.75
hands on excuse me learning
experience and we utilize
00:02:20.78\00:02:25.40
them in that way, and
it makes cheaper for them
00:02:25.43\00:02:27.68
and it works for
us too. Absolutely,
00:02:27.71\00:02:29.77
I like that Mary
because that's ministry,
00:02:29.98\00:02:30.95
you could be saying,
well I wanna get try that
00:02:30.96\00:02:32.17
one and that's wonderful.
You make it very economical
00:02:32.20\00:02:35.15
for them. Exactly.
That's nee. Now I wanna
00:02:35.18\00:02:37.36
tell you guys at home
too Mary was telling me
00:02:37.39\00:02:39.49
before the program,
this is really fantastic,
00:02:39.52\00:02:42.09
I can't believe it, that
your vegetarian restaurant
00:02:42.12\00:02:44.86
called Veggies is
really good. I wanna go down
00:02:44.89\00:02:48.00
and eat there. That's
wonderful because you won back
00:02:48.03\00:02:50.90
in 1998; you won one
of the best restaurants
00:02:50.93\00:02:53.52
in the country, in
United States right by
00:02:54.77\00:02:56.21
Magellan Press,
right. That's exactly right.
00:02:56.24\00:02:58.12
That was our
first veggie restaurant,
00:02:58.15\00:02:59.57
which was in Rapid
City, South Dakota. Okay.
00:02:59.60\00:03:02.10
And so we utilize a lot of
those recipes still obviously.
00:03:02.50\00:03:06.02
That's nee. Yes. I mean this is,
00:03:06.05\00:03:07.08
we are not even talking
about vegetarian restaurants.
00:03:07.11\00:03:09.23
We are talking
about just any restaurant.
00:03:09.26\00:03:11.47
right exactly. How
did they hear about you,
00:03:11.50\00:03:13.40
do you know or You
know, I am not exactly sure,
00:03:13.43\00:03:16.02
I know that they went
around the country searching
00:03:16.05\00:03:18.08
for restaurants, we
had already been voted one
00:03:18.11\00:03:21.03
of the best restaurants
in Rapid City, South Dakota,
00:03:21.06\00:03:23.56
and so I think when
they came to Rapid City.
00:03:23.59\00:03:26.08
They said we got to
check this place out.
00:03:26.11\00:03:27.57
Yes, let's check this
place out and they came
00:03:27.60\00:03:28.98
in and ate there.
That's fantastic. Yes.
00:03:29.01\00:03:31.99
You know that shows
that you can eat tofu,
00:03:32.81\00:03:34.17
you can eat other healthy
food that tastes good that
00:03:34.20\00:03:36.65
even regular people, who
eat meat and all those other
00:03:37.46\00:03:38.65
kind of stuff they like it.
And actually enjoy it. Amen.
00:03:38.68\00:03:41.18
Let's get that.
Well, let's get going,
00:03:41.21\00:03:42.91
we are making tofu
first. Yes we are. Yes.
00:03:42.94\00:03:45.28
Yes we are, the recipes
that we are going to use today
00:03:45.31\00:03:47.03
are going to be foundation
with the first recipe that we
00:03:47.06\00:03:50.09
are going to do Jill, and I
think that people will really
00:03:50.12\00:03:53.37
like this recipe. Good.
So, we are going to start with.
00:03:53.40\00:03:56.14
Let's read our
recipe first. Okay.
00:03:56.17\00:03:58.45
For our friends at
home. Let's read that recipe
00:03:58.48\00:04:00.10
for the marinated tofu. You
wanna read that for us Mary.
00:04:00.13\00:04:02.38
I will, we need 2
pounds of firm tofu,
00:04:02.41\00:04:04.27
a half a cup of
tamari or soy sauce.
00:04:05.30\00:04:07.46
Tamari is actually
just a high grade soy sauce,
00:04:08.08\00:04:10.66
two tablespoons of olive
oil, two tablespoons of water,
00:04:10.69\00:04:13.83
a quarter cup of lemon
juice, I prefer fresh squeezed,
00:04:13.86\00:04:17.79
but you can use frozen
or bottle if you prefer,
00:04:17.82\00:04:20.21
and a quarter cup of
honey. So it all just goes into
00:04:20.93\00:04:24.41
the blender, blends up
and gets poured over the tofu.
00:04:24.44\00:04:26.65
That's easy I like that.
It's very easy, let's see how
00:04:27.16\00:04:28.59
to make this here.
Alright well my favorite
00:04:28.62\00:04:30.56
tofu to use is the organic
extra firm tight away tofu
00:04:30.59\00:04:34.43
by White Wave. There
are several kinds that are
00:04:34.46\00:04:36.58
packaged this way and any kind
of tofu will basically work.
00:04:36.61\00:04:40.18
Okay. But I love this
one, it's got a good texture.
00:04:40.21\00:04:42.36
Yeah, that's good.
Jill, it's really important
00:04:42.39\00:04:46.04
when people use tofu if
they would just real quick smell
00:04:46.07\00:04:49.75
it and make sure
it's nice and fresh.
00:04:49.78\00:04:51.26
Make sure it's not
kind a rinse or something.
00:04:51.29\00:04:52.97
Yes exactly and I always
rinse it. So if you would please
00:04:53.00\00:04:55.88
rinse this off, oh, yeah
sure, and while you are doing
00:04:55.91\00:04:57.39
that, I am going to get our
pan ready, I'm just going to
00:04:57.42\00:05:00.31
spray a little bit on pan,
so that our tofu won't stick.
00:05:00.34\00:05:04.32
Okay. And then what we
are going to do for this
00:05:04.35\00:05:07.81
recipe Jill, I am going
to cut this tofu into strips
00:05:07.84\00:05:10.92
and so what I like to
do is set it up here on the
00:05:10.95\00:05:14.00
cutting board, and
I make two cuts. Okay.
00:05:14.03\00:05:17.70
On this side, and
then I'll turn it around,
00:05:17.73\00:05:21.10
and just about four or five
probably five cuts this way.
00:05:21.13\00:05:24.87
Okay, now tofu doesn't
have a whole lot of flavor
00:05:24.90\00:05:28.19
like this, is that right Mary.
It has no flavor like this.
00:05:28.22\00:05:30.73
Okay. A tofu is going to taste
like how you make it taste.
00:05:32.07\00:05:34.62
Okay. So then what
we will do here Jill,
00:05:34.65\00:05:36.80
let's put this in the
pan, and we will just kind
00:05:36.83\00:05:38.79
of set them in
there. Oh, yeah, very nice.
00:05:38.82\00:05:41.69
And then I think we've just
enough room for all of this,
00:05:41.72\00:05:45.30
and we are going to make
it taste a little bit beef
00:05:45.97\00:05:49.39
sort of, may be an
oriental sort of flavor to it.
00:05:49.42\00:05:53.60
Because it's more
oriental. Exactly, exactly.
00:05:53.63\00:05:56.69
Alright well that sounds
good, I like oriental stuff.
00:05:56.72\00:05:57.84
Alright, and next we are
going to put our marinate
00:05:57.87\00:06:02.28
sauce in the blender.
Okay. So we have our tamari
00:06:02.31\00:06:04.79
or soy sauce. You like the
tamari over the soy sauce. I
00:06:04.82\00:06:08.69
do like tamari, I think
it's a better product. Okay.
00:06:11.69\00:06:12.66
I think it's a
better made product.
00:06:12.67\00:06:13.64
We have our water, we
have a little bit of olive oil.
00:06:13.65\00:06:18.46
I always like to use olive oil.
00:06:18.49\00:06:20.05
Yes, olive oil is
better for you than other type
00:06:20.08\00:06:22.41
of oils. I think so, and
do you know if not olive oil,
00:06:22.44\00:06:25.40
grape seed oil is
wonderful because it has a very
00:06:25.43\00:06:28.41
high point where
you can cook it and it
00:06:28.44\00:06:31.54
won't cause any
problems. That's good.
00:06:31.57\00:06:33.77
Right, so we've got
all of the ingredients,
00:06:33.80\00:06:35.85
all of the wet
ingredients in the blender,
00:06:35.88\00:06:37.33
and we will then
blend up our marinated
00:06:38.63\00:06:41.90
and this is very
easy. I like that very easy.
00:06:41.93\00:06:44.33
Yes called marinated
tofu, but you actually
00:06:44.36\00:06:46.24
don't have to
marinate it for very long.
00:06:46.27\00:06:47.80
Okay, so don't have to sit
in the fridge for a night or so.
00:06:48.56\00:06:50.14
It doesn't, it can, but
not necessary at all. Okay.
00:06:50.17\00:06:53.22
Alright. Get lid on, we
don't want everything splashing.
00:06:53.25\00:06:55.68
Yes, that's exactly right.
Get the lid on the blender.
00:06:55.71\00:06:59.01
You got it. I got it, and
we will blend. That's all.
00:06:59.04\00:07:05.82
That's it. That's it.
We are gonna pour this over
00:07:05.85\00:07:08.23
the tofu then. Now I
believe that we are only going
00:07:08.26\00:07:13.30
to need about half
of this because we went
00:07:13.33\00:07:15.91
to a smaller pan.
Okay. And instead of using
00:07:15.94\00:07:18.29
two pounds of
tofu, we used one. Okay.
00:07:18.32\00:07:21.19
And yeah we had the liquid
ingredient for double recipe.
00:07:21.22\00:07:23.43
Alright. So, we
won't use all of this.
00:07:23.46\00:07:24.78
So, you don't want
all that. Yes, exactly.
00:07:24.81\00:07:26.28
And then what we
would do with this.
00:07:26.31\00:07:27.43
We are now going to take
this and put it in the oven
00:07:27.46\00:07:30.15
at 350 degrees. It
will bake for approximately
00:07:30.18\00:07:33.24
30 to 40 minutes. I like
to bake it until all of liquid
00:07:33.27\00:07:37.59
is absorbed, but not
too much after that and then
00:07:37.62\00:07:42.07
we will use it
for our recipes. Good.
00:07:42.10\00:07:44.85
It will be absolutely delicious.
00:07:44.88\00:07:46.55
I can't wait to try that.
What recipe are we making next?
00:07:47.07\00:07:48.85
I believe our first
recipe will be Fajitas, oh!
00:07:49.41\00:07:52.40
I love Fajitas,
that sounds good.
00:07:52.43\00:07:54.08
Let's read the recipe
there for our Fajitas.
00:07:54.11\00:07:56.24
For them you need two
pounds marinated tofu,
00:07:57.58\00:07:59.61
cut into strips
that's what we just made,
00:07:59.64\00:08:01.56
one large
onion, cut into strips,
00:08:01.59\00:08:04.22
two large green
peppers, cut into strips,
00:08:05.01\00:08:07.56
one large red pepper, cut
into strips, one large carrot,
00:08:07.59\00:08:12.35
cut into thin strips,
one tablespoon chili powder,
00:08:12.38\00:08:16.78
one package whole
wheat tortilla shells.
00:08:17.63\00:08:20.39
Well this looks good,
here look at all these colors.
00:08:22.40\00:08:23.92
Isn't it
beautiful. Yes, I can't wait,
00:08:23.95\00:08:26.08
shall we get
started. Absolutely.
00:08:26.89\00:08:27.86
Alright, so what
we are going to do,
00:08:27.87\00:08:29.64
we might want to use
just a little bit of olive
00:08:29.67\00:08:32.16
oil to do our sautéing not much,
00:08:32.19\00:08:33.93
and what we are going
to do because we are just
00:08:35.38\00:08:36.78
going to make a small batch.
00:08:36.81\00:08:37.95
We won't add all of
our ingredients. Okay.
00:08:38.50\00:08:40.79
But we will start
with our red peppers,
00:08:40.82\00:08:42.41
drop few red peppers in.
Oh, it's all sizzling there.
00:08:43.19\00:08:45.73
It's sizzling, we've got
some beautiful red onions.
00:08:45.76\00:08:48.74
Okay, it's pretty I like
that. I love this is one of my
00:08:48.77\00:08:51.69
favorite parts is zucchini,
and a little bit of onion.
00:08:51.72\00:08:55.74
Now, if you grow a
garden in the summer you can
00:08:56.15\00:08:57.32
use all these
ingredients from your garden.
00:08:57.35\00:08:59.13
That's exactly
right. Yeah. Excuse me.
00:08:59.16\00:09:01.50
Okay. I think I just
called onions, carrots onion,
00:09:01.53\00:09:04.59
but you know
what I mean at home,
00:09:04.62\00:09:06.97
we are going to
put in the carrots.
00:09:07.00\00:09:09.16
Now another thing that I
don't have in my recipe Jill,
00:09:09.96\00:09:12.56
but that is really nice
if you want to add little
00:09:12.59\00:09:15.27
mushroom that's very
nice in this as well.
00:09:15.30\00:09:17.63
Oh! Yeah that will be broken.
00:09:17.66\00:09:18.63
Now we just want, I
don't like the vegetables
00:09:18.64\00:09:20.61
to be soggy, I don't,
you know, I don't like to
00:09:20.64\00:09:22.83
overcook my
vegetables, but I do want them
00:09:22.86\00:09:24.58
to be nice and warm.
Yes. And then when they get.
00:09:24.61\00:09:27.63
Crisp and tender.
Kind of crisp and tender,
00:09:28.50\00:09:29.87
yes exactly. And for me
I like a heavier on crisp.
00:09:30.38\00:09:34.05
That might turn to tender.
That might turn to tender.
00:09:34.08\00:09:37.12
Okay. I can keep
the color in there.
00:09:37.15\00:09:38.78
Right. And then we
will add a couple of pieces
00:09:38.81\00:09:41.44
of our tofu that we marinated.
00:09:41.47\00:09:43.21
This is a tofu you
have already done it,
00:09:43.24\00:09:45.03
you've marinated it. Yes.
00:09:45.24\00:09:46.21
Cook at 350, oh
its pretty. Yes. Yeah,
00:09:46.81\00:09:49.12
and it looks like it will
hold the shape really good,
00:09:49.15\00:09:50.90
it wouldn't fall
apart. It doesn't fall apart,
00:09:50.93\00:09:52.66
it really actually
has a very nice texture.
00:09:52.69\00:09:55.14
Yeah. Stir it, and
what we will then do is add
00:09:55.17\00:09:57.53
a little bit of our
seasoning. You can use a chili
00:09:57.56\00:09:59.73
powder or a
Mexican kind of seasoning,
00:09:59.76\00:10:03.05
we won't add
quite as much because
00:10:03.08\00:10:04.82
we don't have as
a bigger for recipe.
00:10:04.85\00:10:06.22
We aren't doing all
those vegetables, right.
00:10:06.25\00:10:07.36
Yes exactly. And
for those who like it,
00:10:07.39\00:10:09.93
they could add
little salt if they want to,
00:10:09.96\00:10:12.09
the tofu is going to
have a little bit of savory
00:10:12.12\00:10:16.00
flavor already,
absolutely that's right,
00:10:16.03\00:10:17.00
because we marinated
it. Oh! That looks good.
00:10:17.01\00:10:19.05
I wish you guys can smell this,
00:10:19.08\00:10:20.55
it smells really good too.
00:10:20.58\00:10:21.91
Yes, right. So let's mix
up our seasoning in there.
00:10:21.94\00:10:25.09
Now, I also brought with me
a little bit of a vegan cheese.
00:10:25.88\00:10:29.84
Oh good. That will add to this,
00:10:29.87\00:10:32.29
and that makes a kind of nice.
00:10:32.32\00:10:33.95
Now where you can
get this vegan cheese,
00:10:33.98\00:10:35.48
in the grocery store.
Health food store typically.
00:10:35.51\00:10:37.67
This particular one
is completely vegan,
00:10:37.70\00:10:40.88
it doesn't have
the casing in it. Yes.
00:10:40.91\00:10:42.86
However, I will also
recommend that if they like,
00:10:42.89\00:10:46.49
they can make a cheesy
sauce, you know we've got a good
00:10:46.52\00:10:49.31
recipe for cheesy
sauce in our cook book,
00:10:49.34\00:10:51.25
and so that works really well.
00:10:51.28\00:10:52.85
Okay, so you have a
cook book out too. Yes.
00:10:52.88\00:10:54.53
Our friends could contact
you and get the cook book.
00:10:54.56\00:10:55.98
Yes, all of the
recipes that we are using today
00:10:56.01\00:10:57.82
are from my cook book.
Good, what about the recipes
00:10:57.85\00:11:00.28
that you cook there at Veggies,
00:11:00.31\00:11:01.28
they are from
your cooking book too.
00:11:01.31\00:11:02.70
Well either from my cook book,
00:11:02.73\00:11:03.70
and we are always
developing new recipes. Yes.
00:11:03.71\00:11:05.50
That's kind of
what we are all about.
00:11:07.30\00:11:08.68
You know you can't
serve the same things over
00:11:08.71\00:11:10.39
and over again in the
restaurant. Absolutely
00:11:10.42\00:11:11.39
you get kind of.
Because people get bored of it,
00:11:11.40\00:11:12.95
yes. Alright, so we are going
to then just take this mix.
00:11:12.98\00:11:15.97
I have a whole grain
tortilla here that we are going
00:11:16.00\00:11:20.17
to use. Good. And we
are going to make sure
00:11:20.20\00:11:21.95
we got a piece of tofu,
and we get some of those nice.
00:11:21.98\00:11:24.75
Oh its smells good.
Carrots and you know Fajita.
00:11:24.78\00:11:29.14
Very nice. And then
I am going to sprinkle
00:11:29.81\00:11:31.27
a little bit of our
vegan cheese on there,
00:11:31.30\00:11:33.50
and now at this
point we have options. Yes.
00:11:34.61\00:11:38.05
One of our options is
just to roll it up and eat
00:11:38.81\00:11:41.02
it like this, and you
would roll it like a tortilla,
00:11:41.05\00:11:45.60
but another really fun
option is to take it and heat it
00:11:46.29\00:11:52.91
on a grill, I think we
have a grill right there. Here
00:11:53.56\00:11:55.61
we go. Right, unfortunately
I did turn that off.
00:11:56.06\00:12:00.87
You got the lighter.
I've got the lighter.
00:12:00.90\00:12:02.48
We will relight, I did
that there we go, very good. So
00:12:02.90\00:12:07.16
I do like it this way because
it's kind of make it nice
00:12:08.46\00:12:11.73
and hot on the outside
and see you can just stick it
00:12:11.76\00:12:15.25
right on your grill, you don't
need to add anything you just.
00:12:15.28\00:12:17.86
So you don't need oil
or anything to fry it.
00:12:18.28\00:12:19.55
No oil, we are not frying
it, we just going to let it sort
00:12:19.58\00:12:22.29
of heat up a little bit
and we will just we'll let that
00:12:22.32\00:12:26.49
cheese melt a little bit.
Yes. And then it will be nice
00:12:26.52\00:12:29.19
and warm and little
bit on the crisp side.
00:12:29.22\00:12:32.60
These are wonderful
served with a little guacamole,
00:12:33.30\00:12:36.40
if you like guacamole
always recommend a little sauce
00:12:36.43\00:12:40.04
whatever the favored
sauce would be, and so.
00:12:40.51\00:12:44.47
Looks very good.
Oh! I think it's gonna
00:12:44.50\00:12:46.42
be delicious. I can't wait
to try, really it's really good.
00:12:46.45\00:12:48.86
I am hungry already
myself. That's right.
00:12:48.89\00:12:50.54
Yeah, so this is nice, so
this will be then once it's kind
00:12:51.05\00:12:54.27
of nice and warm on one
side, we will flip it over
00:12:54.30\00:12:56.30
to the other side. Okay,
good. And well we will have.
00:12:56.33\00:13:00.31
So your Fajita, your
students who come to the Shine
00:13:01.25\00:13:03.30
program, they cook
with you in the restaurant,
00:13:03.33\00:13:04.80
they make this and all
that. Oh yes absolutely,
00:13:04.83\00:13:07.31
absolutely. That's
nee. At our restaurant,
00:13:07.34\00:13:09.73
we actually make homemade
crepes that we make Fajitas
00:13:09.76\00:13:13.46
and that's really nice as well.
00:13:13.49\00:13:15.02
I need to come and
eat at your restaurant.
00:13:15.05\00:13:16.47
You got to check it out.
I think I really got to go
00:13:16.50\00:13:18.09
there, yes. I
guarantee you will like it.
00:13:18.12\00:13:19.64
If you don't, if
you don't it's on us.
00:13:19.67\00:13:21.98
I am sure I'll like it.
Oh yeah I can see the cheese
00:13:23.82\00:13:25.73
is melting. The
cheese is melting, yes,
00:13:25.76\00:13:27.51
and so we will take it.
We might want to flip it
00:13:27.54\00:13:30.87
one more time, our pan
wasn't hot as it would be.
00:13:30.90\00:13:34.89
Right because we
hadn't turned it on.
00:13:34.92\00:13:36.43
Exactly, we actually have
people come to our restaurant
00:13:36.46\00:13:40.41
who have eaten and I
won't name the name of the
00:13:41.03\00:13:42.67
other restaurant, but
it's a very famous restaurant.
00:13:42.70\00:13:45.27
And Fajitas is something
that they are well known for,
00:13:45.89\00:13:48.37
and when they tried our
Fajitas despite the fact
00:13:49.25\00:13:50.85
that these people
were not vegetarian,
00:13:50.88\00:13:52.43
when they tried our Fajitas,
they said wow wait a minute,
00:13:52.46\00:13:55.36
this is so much better
then we get across the street,
00:13:55.39\00:13:59.55
that you know we are
coming here from now on.
00:13:59.58\00:14:02.27
You know, it's amazing
because this has tofu in it
00:14:02.30\00:14:04.28
and this has soy
bean, so you think but they
00:14:04.31\00:14:06.40
like it better.
They liked it better.
00:14:06.43\00:14:07.99
They said it had
much more flavor. Yeah.
00:14:08.02\00:14:10.19
And so I was
really happy to hear that.
00:14:10.22\00:14:13.25
Good, and I have to
say that I agreed with them
00:14:13.28\00:14:16.04
one hundred percent.
Alright, so we are just going
00:14:16.07\00:14:19.88
to take this off of
here and put it on our plate.
00:14:19.91\00:14:23.98
Oh yeah that
looks good. Very nice.
00:14:24.01\00:14:27.33
We're done with our Fajitas.
00:14:27.36\00:14:29.76
Let's go to our,
are we making egg rolls.
00:14:29.79\00:14:31.25
We are going to
next mix Spring Rolls.
00:14:31.80\00:14:33.76
Spring rolls.
Actually, this is really
00:14:33.79\00:14:35.84
a favorite recipe of
mine. Good you wanna read that
00:14:35.87\00:14:37.74
recipe first for
the Spring Rolls.
00:14:37.77\00:14:39.36
I'd be very happy too.
Okay for the Spring Rolls
00:14:39.39\00:14:41.70
we need one package
of spring roll wrappers,
00:14:41.73\00:14:44.31
now those are going
to be a rice wrapper,
00:14:45.04\00:14:46.85
we are going to use the
marinated tofu, carrots,
00:14:47.52\00:14:50.68
which will be grated,
lettuce, which you could either
00:14:51.16\00:14:53.85
chopped your lettuce, I
actually use some of the
00:14:53.88\00:14:56.08
prewash lettuce, fresh
basil, that's very important
00:14:56.11\00:14:59.42
or fresh mint and fresh
cilantro, and half pound
00:15:00.74\00:15:04.28
of rice noodles which
would be cooked according
00:15:04.87\00:15:08.27
to the package instructions.
00:15:08.30\00:15:09.48
Look at this, I
love oriental foods.
00:15:13.25\00:15:15.29
Spring Rolls is
one of my favorite.
00:15:15.79\00:15:16.76
Yes mine too
especially like this kind over
00:15:16.77\00:15:23.42
Alright, well I have
used the Spring Roll wrappers,
00:15:23.45\00:15:26.20
and as I said there
made with rice flour.
00:15:26.23\00:15:28.93
So, this is a
wonderful recipe for your gluten
00:15:28.96\00:15:31.23
free friends. Oh true.
00:15:31.26\00:15:33.09
Because this is
going to be gluten free,
00:15:33.12\00:15:34.28
and these can be
readily purchased
00:15:35.09\00:15:37.61
at any Asian market,
and I've even actually
00:15:37.64\00:15:40.01
seen them in
Wal-Mart or in regular grocery
00:15:40.04\00:15:42.48
stores as well, and
they are very inexpensive.
00:15:42.51\00:15:44.66
And what we do Jill
is we take these and
00:15:45.18\00:15:47.10
we've already
soaking ours, we've got them
00:15:47.13\00:15:48.90
in some water, it just
takes a matter of maybe
00:15:48.93\00:15:50.81
a minute or two.
Okay. Before they are done,
00:15:50.84\00:15:53.08
and I do like to
use two of them because
00:15:53.11\00:15:55.96
they rip rather easily. Yes.
00:15:55.99\00:15:57.92
And what I am
doing, what I have here
00:15:58.43\00:16:00.46
is a clean bath
towel. Okay, because I wonder
00:16:00.49\00:16:03.02
what this
purple towel doing here
00:16:03.05\00:16:04.46
on the sets.
Yes, I promised you,
00:16:04.49\00:16:05.80
I wasn't when I use
this morning to dry off,
00:16:05.83\00:16:08.16
and actually at our
house we have a bath
00:16:09.22\00:16:11.28
towel that we will
use for this or they
00:16:11.31\00:16:15.20
can do at home. I
recommend that when you
00:16:15.23\00:16:17.47
use a bath towel like we
are doing that you wash it
00:16:18.46\00:16:21.45
in your washing
machine and then rather than
00:16:21.48\00:16:23.94
taking it directly out of
the washing machine run it
00:16:23.97\00:16:27.17
through the recycle
again, so that you get
00:16:27.20\00:16:29.49
all the surf out.
Right. Yes, exactly.
00:16:29.71\00:16:30.98
That won't be too
good. Right you don't want
00:16:31.01\00:16:32.83
the surf, but
this is very critical,
00:16:32.86\00:16:34.83
this is why most people
don't make these at home because
00:16:34.86\00:16:37.26
they don't know how.
This is a critical step,
00:16:37.29\00:16:39.53
so we've taken. Why
do you put it here versus
00:16:40.41\00:16:42.27
on the countertop?
Well because when we
00:16:42.30\00:16:44.52
wanna use, we wanna
get all that water out, but
00:16:44.55\00:16:46.60
it will be still be
slightly damp and that way it
00:16:46.63\00:16:49.53
will stick together,
okay. That's really smart.
00:16:49.56\00:16:52.81
This is quite a little
secret, this is a million dollar
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.43
secret here too. How
did you think of this
00:16:55.46\00:16:56.72
million dollar
secret? Well, actually I had
00:16:56.75\00:16:58.90
somebody teach it to me. Really.
00:16:58.93\00:17:00.47
So there you go. Now
you are teaching to us.
00:17:00.50\00:17:03.00
So, now I am
teaching you, so we take it,
00:17:03.03\00:17:04.00
we got two of the
wrappers on the towel,
00:17:04.01\00:17:05.83
and we are going
to take the towel,
00:17:05.86\00:17:07.01
and we are
gonna push down on it.
00:17:07.04\00:17:08.61
Get rid of the water.
And get rid of the water.
00:17:09.27\00:17:10.44
This is pretty fancy,
I like this, I've never
00:17:11.21\00:17:12.69
heard doing that. Is
that well, this, this works.
00:17:12.72\00:17:15.16
That's awesome. You
will be making Spring Rolls.
00:17:16.02\00:17:18.83
Yes. Now that you
know how to do this,
00:17:19.03\00:17:20.05
okay. So we are
gonna take a little bit
00:17:20.65\00:17:21.72
of our rice noodles, and.
So this is gluten free too.
00:17:21.75\00:17:24.92
This is gluten free
too, these are also rice.
00:17:25.45\00:17:27.24
Now the more that you
put in the Spring Roll
00:17:27.89\00:17:30.22
the harder it is to
roll up. So you know when
00:17:30.25\00:17:33.60
you are first starting
out, they are kind of nice
00:17:33.63\00:17:35.23
if you doing small. We
will put in a couple pieces
00:17:35.26\00:17:38.67
of tofu, this is our
marinated tofu again.
00:17:38.70\00:17:41.30
You can use it in all
these different recipes,
00:17:41.81\00:17:42.94
I like that. Yes
isn't that fun. Very good.
00:17:43.66\00:17:45.34
Alright, we are going to
add, I didn't have fresh basil,
00:17:45.86\00:17:49.08
so I grabbed some mint. Yes.
00:17:49.44\00:17:51.20
And when we are using
mint, like my mint to be nice
00:17:51.88\00:17:54.50
and green. We don't
want to overdo the mint
00:17:54.53\00:17:56.95
and this is very large
mint. So, I am gonna cut
00:17:56.98\00:17:59.79
that into half, so just
a couple of pieces of mint
00:17:59.82\00:18:01.73
and then
cilantro. I love cilantro.
00:18:01.76\00:18:04.32
Got to have the cilantro,
can you smell that mint.
00:18:04.35\00:18:07.09
Oh yeah, it smells
good when you broke
00:18:07.52\00:18:09.14
it you can really smell
it. It really, it's so good.
00:18:09.17\00:18:11.07
Now our carrots are going
to go in there and because
00:18:11.72\00:18:14.33
my carrots shreds are kind
of poky, I am going to put them
00:18:14.36\00:18:19.04
in middle. So, that they
don't poke through the wrapper
00:18:19.82\00:18:21.68
Absolutely. Something
else really. And you get a hole
00:18:21.71\00:18:23.57
in it or something.
Yeah you get a hole,
00:18:23.60\00:18:25.16
and once you have a hole,
it continues to rip through.
00:18:25.19\00:18:27.99
I have done that, yes.
Alright, now we are going to
00:18:28.02\00:18:31.69
add a little bit of
lettuce. Now, I also want to let
00:18:31.72\00:18:33.96
our viewers know that if they
would like what we frequently
00:18:33.99\00:18:37.99
do is use beets. Beets are
really nice instead of carrots
00:18:38.02\00:18:41.30
Okay. You could put
anything, any kind of vegetable,
00:18:42.23\00:18:46.92
really raw vegetable that
you want it, you might find them
00:18:47.37\00:18:49.44
sometimes with cucumbers,
yes, with some kind of sprout,
00:18:49.47\00:18:53.49
the bean sprouts
are really nice in them.
00:18:53.52\00:18:55.39
So we can't go wrong with it.
00:18:55.42\00:18:56.71
You can't really go
wrong. We just have to do it.
00:18:56.74\00:18:57.71
Exactly, exactly.
That's my kind of recipe.
00:18:57.72\00:18:59.75
So, notice that I put
everything sort of towards
00:19:00.31\00:19:02.41
the end, but in
the middle. Yeah.
00:19:02.44\00:19:04.07
And we are going to take
this and you will see right
00:19:04.10\00:19:05.99
away how that is
really sticking. Oh yeah.
00:19:06.02\00:19:07.98
And we are gonna
roll that up like that.
00:19:08.01\00:19:10.91
Oh yeah it is sticking.
It's very sticky, and then
00:19:10.94\00:19:13.50
we are just going to take
it, we are going to roll a
00:19:13.53\00:19:14.78
nice and tight, and as we
roll it we will be real careful,
00:19:14.81\00:19:20.10
so that it doesn't
sprinkle. Oh, that one is good.
00:19:20.13\00:19:22.81
There you go, and you see
how nicely that stay together.
00:19:23.27\00:19:25.34
Yes, very nice.
Isn't that beautiful.
00:19:25.37\00:19:27.14
I like that you see.
Plate is ready for it.
00:19:27.17\00:19:28.81
Yes stays
together to the edge too.
00:19:28.84\00:19:30.10
Yes exactly, isn't that
wonderful. Now we serve this
00:19:30.78\00:19:33.66
with a peanut sauce.
However in typical restaurants
00:19:34.28\00:19:38.31
this is really kind of a
Thai food. In a Thai restaurant
00:19:38.59\00:19:41.87
you either get with a
peanut sauce or a sweet and sour
00:19:41.90\00:19:44.95
sauce. So our viewers at home
can do either sauce that they
00:19:44.98\00:19:49.98
like. Those sauces are
also readily available in health
00:19:50.01\00:19:53.36
food stores, at Wal-Mart. Right.
00:19:53.65\00:19:55.50
Or in Asian markets. You
can buy it pretty easily.
00:19:55.90\00:19:57.94
Exactly or you can get on
the web and do little Google
00:19:57.97\00:20:01.68
with peanut sauce and
you can find some wonderful
00:20:01.71\00:20:04.27
peanut sauces on
the web as well. Yes.
00:20:04.30\00:20:06.37
That you might make homemade.
00:20:06.40\00:20:07.37
That's good, yeah. Do
you have homemade peanut
00:20:07.65\00:20:09.72
sauces recipe to
make. I do have one,
00:20:09.75\00:20:11.76
and I am happy to let our
viewers have it if they like
00:20:11.79\00:20:14.23
to e-mail me. Okay,
what's your e-mail address.
00:20:14.26\00:20:16.47
My e-mail address,
that is so easy to remember,
00:20:16.50\00:20:18.93
you can't go wrong, its
iloveveggies2@hotmail.com.
00:20:18.96\00:20:32.21
Oh nice. Yeah exactly,
so if they like to e-mail me
00:20:32.62\00:20:34.46
I will be happy to share my
peanut sauce recipe as well.
00:20:34.49\00:20:36.76
Very nice. It's in
your cook book as well.
00:20:37.15\00:20:38.66
This, I have several different
sauces in my cook book, but
00:20:39.06\00:20:41.99
the peanut sauce is a
newer one that I just developed.
00:20:42.02\00:20:44.86
To make another cook
book. I am in the process
00:20:45.33\00:20:47.29
of doing that. It's
definitely a process.
00:20:47.32\00:20:49.79
Let's go to our last
recipe, what's our last recipe.
00:20:49.82\00:20:51.80
Our last recipe
is Eggless Egg Rolls.
00:20:51.83\00:20:53.90
Good, you want
to read that first.
00:20:54.29\00:20:55.34
Absolutely, alright we
are going to use whole wheat
00:20:55.37\00:20:58.85
chapatis, or we can also
use the whole wheat tortilla
00:20:58.88\00:21:02.89
wraps that we used earlier,
one large green cabbage,
00:21:02.92\00:21:06.06
cut into strips, one
large onion, cut into strips,
00:21:06.09\00:21:09.65
two large carrots, shredded,
two large green peppers,
00:21:10.10\00:21:13.78
cut into thin strips,
one small head broccoli,
00:21:13.81\00:21:17.85
one cup of tamari which is
the soy sauce, two teaspoons
00:21:18.41\00:21:22.92
of garlic powder, two
teaspoons of onion powder
00:21:22.95\00:21:25.41
and one tablespoon of sweetener.
00:21:25.44\00:21:27.49
Now what's the
difference between an Egg Roll
00:21:29.67\00:21:31.02
and a Spring Roll. Well
typically when you go to a
00:21:31.05\00:21:34.11
restaurant, an Egg Roll
is going to be deep fried.
00:21:34.14\00:21:37.04
Yes. And a Spring
Roll isn't always the kind
00:21:37.77\00:21:41.11
of wrapper that we
use, sometimes they are deep
00:21:41.14\00:21:43.03
fried too. So you just
have to kind of check it out.
00:21:43.47\00:21:45.49
Right. But when we do Egg Rolls,
00:21:45.91\00:21:47.11
we bake them. Okay. Yes.
00:21:47.14\00:21:49.36
Let's see how to
make these Egg Rolls.
00:21:49.39\00:21:50.97
Alright, we have heated our oil.
00:21:51.00\00:21:53.00
I can see it's
steam, so it's hot.
00:21:53.22\00:21:54.65
Yes, so we are
going to take our cabbage,
00:21:54.68\00:21:56.51
and we are going to put
a little bit of cabbage in.
00:21:56.54\00:21:59.26
Good. We are going
to add our broccoli,
00:21:59.84\00:22:02.86
once again we have all
those beautiful colors.
00:22:03.92\00:22:05.24
Absolutely. You know,
I'm just sure God did that,
00:22:05.78\00:22:08.38
so that we would eat it. Right.
00:22:08.41\00:22:10.19
It just look so
edible doesn't it?
00:22:10.22\00:22:12.24
That's right, and it
means all that nutrition,
00:22:12.27\00:22:14.11
I think it is
because of nutrition too.
00:22:14.14\00:22:15.95
Absolutely, and so
we are just going to,
00:22:16.71\00:22:18.78
once again we are not
wanting to kill this beautiful,
00:22:18.81\00:22:23.46
the beautiful cabbage,
and red pepper, and broccoli,
00:22:23.49\00:22:27.11
we just wanna kind of
get it nice and warm because
00:22:27.31\00:22:30.36
we are also going to bake these,
00:22:30.39\00:22:31.84
so in our
vegetables grill. Yeah.
00:22:31.87\00:22:33.59
We will bake a little bit,
and then we will add our sauce,
00:22:34.04\00:22:36.54
now I am not going to
add all of this again,
00:22:36.57\00:22:38.81
because we are not
using that in the recipe.
00:22:39.02\00:22:41.04
Yes. There is something
about the combination of maple
00:22:41.07\00:22:45.22
syrup and tamari, that is
just absolutely incredible.
00:22:45.25\00:22:49.90
I've never tried that,
usually I try sugar or something
00:22:50.32\00:22:51.91
if you put in this,
but use a Maple syrup. Yes.
00:22:51.94\00:22:54.01
I like that. It is incredibly
good, I really like it.
00:22:54.50\00:22:57.51
And then it's
our onion and garlic.
00:22:58.78\00:22:59.75
That's my onion
and garlic. Good.
00:22:59.78\00:23:01.13
And so we will just
stir this up a little bit,
00:23:01.16\00:23:03.64
so that we can have a nice
tender not too tender. That's
00:23:04.80\00:23:13.36
right, we want the crisp
side with the last recipe,
00:23:13.85\00:23:16.35
right. And then we will put
a little bit of our tofu in.
00:23:16.38\00:23:18.71
We are using our tofu again.
00:23:18.74\00:23:19.97
Once again we can use
our tofu in the recipe.
00:23:20.00\00:23:21.84
I like that.
Yes, I just love it.
00:23:21.87\00:23:25.22
You use it, you've just
make it, and then you can store
00:23:25.25\00:23:26.51
it in the fridge type of
thing and then pour it up
00:23:26.54\00:23:28.00
all these different
recipe. Exactly. I like that.
00:23:28.03\00:23:30.12
Warning, if you have
small children tofu won't stand
00:23:30.15\00:23:33.39
in the refrigerator for
very long because they tend to
00:23:33.42\00:23:36.74
really like it. It's so
good, I used to always just kind
00:23:36.77\00:23:40.10
of hide mine from my
children. That's right.
00:23:40.13\00:23:42.49
Alright this is nicely
sauté, so let me show you how
00:23:43.26\00:23:46.61
to roll this. Now
again because our wrappers
00:23:47.19\00:23:51.49
are kind of small, you
can get a larger wrapper,
00:23:52.00\00:23:53.80
and those are
little easier to work with,
00:23:54.36\00:23:55.54
but I like these wrappers
because they are low carb,
00:23:55.99\00:23:58.98
and what that means
when something is low carb,
00:24:00.52\00:24:03.11
I discovered at
least when its low carb,
00:24:03.56\00:24:05.16
and it's a bread product,
that means it will be very
00:24:05.89\00:24:07.96
high fiber. Yes. So put
a little bit of vegetables
00:24:07.99\00:24:11.92
in here. And this is your,
this is a different wrapper
00:24:12.65\00:24:15.22
than we used for the last one,
00:24:15.25\00:24:16.29
last one was a rice wrapper.
00:24:16.32\00:24:17.38
A rice wrapper, but we
did, this is our wheat wrapper,
00:24:17.69\00:24:19.97
however, we did use
this wrapper for our first
00:24:20.00\00:24:24.89
stuff Fajita.
Fajita that's right good.
00:24:24.92\00:24:26.81
Exactly. Alright so
for the Eggless Egg Rolls
00:24:26.84\00:24:30.09
what we are going to do, I
tend to just wanna wrap these
00:24:30.12\00:24:32.86
like this to start because
we are going to bake them,
00:24:32.89\00:24:36.77
and so then what I will
do is I'll then take the end.
00:24:37.92\00:24:41.67
Good. Kind of tuck
it in a little bit.
00:24:41.89\00:24:44.65
Oh nice, that's pretty
fancy, I like that. Yeah.
00:24:44.85\00:24:47.27
We are learning tricks
from the professional here.
00:24:47.30\00:24:49.21
We know the tricks of
the trade. That's right.
00:24:50.69\00:24:52.54
Alright. Looks nice.
Now what would you put
00:24:53.22\00:24:55.09
it in the oven. I would
put it in the oven at 350
00:24:55.12\00:24:57.97
and if you have a little
bit of pam, you can spray the
00:24:58.00\00:25:01.55
outside of it, and then
you bake it in the oven for oh,
00:25:01.58\00:25:05.24
I say about 15 minutes or
so, 15 to 20 minutes until its
00:25:05.27\00:25:09.73
nice and crisp on the
outside, and again this is going
00:25:09.76\00:25:13.26
to be delicious with
the sweet and sour sauce.
00:25:13.29\00:25:15.30
Oh yeah, we are
going to try that.
00:25:15.78\00:25:17.06
I think you like
it. Good, good. Well,
00:25:18.28\00:25:19.48

Now let's take a look at
our finished recipes with Mary.
00:26:55.81\00:26:58.44
Welcome back friends.
Look at all these good
00:27:04.30\00:27:06.06
food here Mary.
Food look beautiful.
00:27:06.09\00:27:08.09
We've made a feast. Yes.
00:27:08.12\00:27:09.30
Let's look at
what we made today,
00:27:10.33\00:27:11.52
why don't you tell
friends as we look at these.
00:27:11.55\00:27:13.29
Okay, well first of all
we started with the marinated
00:27:13.32\00:27:16.86
tofu, and each one
of the other recipes
00:27:16.89\00:27:18.68
has some of that
in it. Yes. Right.
00:27:18.71\00:27:22.13
And then what was next here.
00:27:22.16\00:27:23.32
Next, we had the
Fajitas, now Fajitas are,
00:27:23.35\00:27:27.67
like I said this is a
wonderful Fajita recipe,
00:27:27.70\00:27:30.66
and we might add a
little guacamole and definitely
00:27:30.69\00:27:34.38
wants some sauce with
that when we eat that.
00:27:34.41\00:27:36.10
Oh, That looks good. Absolutely,
00:27:36.13\00:27:37.15
and then we have
our Spring Rolls.
00:27:37.18\00:27:38.57
Our Spring Rolls,
this is my favorite,
00:27:38.60\00:27:40.88
if there is
nothing else left to eat,
00:27:40.91\00:27:42.62
but Sprig Rolls
I will be alright.
00:27:43.06\00:27:44.21
I'll eat Spring Rolls too.
00:27:44.69\00:27:45.66
Yes, and we put a peanut
sauce with the Spring Rolls.
00:27:45.67\00:27:48.58
Good and our last one here.
00:27:48.79\00:27:49.76
Our last one is our Eggless
Egg Roll and that also would
00:27:49.77\00:27:53.59
probably want a
sweet and sour sauce,
00:27:53.79\00:27:55.07
or some kind of
peanut sauce to finish off.
00:27:55.10\00:27:57.10
Good, well thank you
so much for coming Mary.
00:27:57.13\00:27:59.77
We had a good time today.
00:28:00.00\00:28:00.97
It's nice to be here,
I really appreciate it.
00:28:00.98\00:28:02.14
Absolutely, well friends
our time is all gone until
00:28:02.62\00:28:04.97
we see you next time may
God bless you and keep you.
00:28:05.00\00:28:07.83
