00:00:23.72\00:00:29.99
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.03\00:00:34.66
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.70\00:00:40.37
Mending broken people

Hello, and welcome
00:01:10.77\00:01:12.10
to another 3ABN
Today Cooking program.
00:01:12.13\00:01:14.54
I'm Jason Bradley
00:01:14.57\00:01:15.90
and here with me
today is Nicole Braxton.
00:01:15.94\00:01:17.97
She is the founder
00:01:18.01\00:01:19.47
of Around the
World in 7 Days and ROCK.
00:01:19.51\00:01:23.85
Welcome to the program, Nicole.
00:01:23.88\00:01:25.61
Thank you.
00:01:25.65\00:01:26.98
So happy to have
you in the kitchen
00:01:27.02\00:01:28.35
'cause when you're
in the kitchen food,
00:01:28.38\00:01:29.72
I know that cuisine is
coming out tasting amazing,
00:01:29.75\00:01:33.05
Praise the Lord.
00:01:33.09\00:01:34.96
I know that you're very
passionate about wellness,
00:01:34.99\00:01:37.13
and I also want to talk about
00:01:37.16\00:01:38.49
Around the World
in 7 Days and ROCK.
00:01:38.53\00:01:40.83
But what is wellness to you?
00:01:40.86\00:01:43.13
To me, wellness is holistic.
00:01:43.16\00:01:45.30
It really encompasses the
mind, the body, and the spirit.
00:01:45.33\00:01:49.30
After learning more
about rest and restoration,
00:01:49.34\00:01:52.27
I really learned that
God is compassionate about
00:01:52.31\00:01:54.74
every different
component of our life
00:01:54.78\00:01:56.54
and the
commonality I found is that
00:01:56.58\00:01:59.55
what we eat directly
impacts our mental health
00:01:59.58\00:02:02.55
and it can also
impact our spiritual health.
00:02:02.58\00:02:04.89
So I am interested
in a plant based diet
00:02:04.92\00:02:07.72
for that very reason.
00:02:07.76\00:02:09.32
A lot of the
different lifestyle diseases
00:02:09.36\00:02:12.16
that are prevalent
today are really found
00:02:12.19\00:02:16.30
in different foods that we eat
00:02:16.33\00:02:17.67
and different
habits that we have.
00:02:17.70\00:02:19.23
So I like to share
different things that I learned
00:02:19.27\00:02:21.87
and Around the World in 7 Days
00:02:21.90\00:02:23.97
is one of the ways that
00:02:24.01\00:02:25.97
God has helped me to do that.
00:02:26.01\00:02:27.34
Okay, nice, nice.
00:02:27.38\00:02:28.71
And what about ROCK?
What does ROCK stand for?
00:02:28.74\00:02:31.45
Rock stands for
Restore Our Community Crew.
00:02:31.48\00:02:33.72
Okay.
00:02:33.75\00:02:35.08
And so essentially, we're
based in the Metro Detroit area.
00:02:35.12\00:02:37.22
And we do different
workshops, cooking classes,
00:02:37.25\00:02:41.32
health seminars,
and pop up restaurants.
00:02:41.36\00:02:43.22
Nice.
00:02:43.26\00:02:44.59
So we keep our hands busy,
00:02:44.63\00:02:45.96
but it's really fun
to engage with people
00:02:45.99\00:02:47.66
and share a message of wellness
00:02:47.70\00:02:49.10
and we're currently working
00:02:49.13\00:02:50.47
towards building a
center so people can,
00:02:50.50\00:02:52.63
you know, access
us more frequently.
00:02:52.67\00:02:54.30
Well, that sounds great.
00:02:54.34\00:02:55.67
I'm excited to find out
what we're gonna, you know,
00:02:55.70\00:02:58.21
where you're gonna go with that.
00:02:58.24\00:02:59.57
Yeah.
00:02:59.61\00:03:00.94
But also what we're
gonna be making today.
00:03:00.98\00:03:02.31
Awesome.
00:03:02.34\00:03:03.68
So what are we
gonna cover today?
00:03:03.71\00:03:05.05
What are we gonna make?
00:03:05.08\00:03:06.41
Today we will be
making Curacao fusion tacos,
00:03:06.45\00:03:09.58
lentil vegan stew,
vegetable rice, balti beef,
00:03:09.62\00:03:14.16
roasted vegetables
and pumpkin pot stickers.
00:03:14.19\00:03:17.99
Wow, that sounds delicious. Yes.
00:03:18.03\00:03:20.66
Well, what are we making first?
00:03:20.70\00:03:23.10
So we're gonna start off
00:03:23.13\00:03:24.70
with our fusion tacos
or Curacao fusion tacos.
00:03:24.73\00:03:29.77
I really enjoy them
00:03:29.80\00:03:31.61
and I'm excited
to share with you
00:03:31.64\00:03:33.41
the different ingredients.
00:03:33.44\00:03:34.78
Wow!
00:04:20.09\00:04:21.42
A lot of ingredients.
00:04:21.46\00:04:22.79
Yeah, it sounds like
a lot of ingredients.
00:04:22.82\00:04:24.19
But it will be very flavorful.
00:04:24.23\00:04:25.56
Now is the cilantro optional or?
00:04:25.59\00:04:28.60
Yep, you can put the cilantro
in optional at the end, so.
00:04:28.63\00:04:31.57
Nice, nice.
00:04:31.60\00:04:32.93
Yes. Okay.
00:04:32.97\00:04:34.30
So, what do we want to
pour in or cut up first or?
00:04:34.34\00:04:36.91
Okay, we're gonna start
off with the jackfruits...
00:04:36.94\00:04:40.18
Okay. Which I really love.
00:04:40.21\00:04:41.91
If you go ahead
and touch one of them,
00:04:41.94\00:04:43.48
you can see the consistency.
00:04:43.51\00:04:45.98
Yeah, so I really like
00:04:46.01\00:04:47.75
the consistency of the jackfruit
00:04:47.78\00:04:49.48
because it pulls apart
and it has a meaty texture.
00:04:49.52\00:04:53.79
It has protein in
it as well as fiber.
00:04:53.82\00:04:56.49
So it's a really good
natural meat replacement.
00:04:56.52\00:04:58.46
I really like that.
00:04:58.49\00:04:59.83
So you can go
ahead and pour this
00:04:59.86\00:05:01.20
into boiling water.
00:05:01.23\00:05:02.56
Okay.
00:05:02.60\00:05:03.93
Yep, so we'll boil cold water.
00:05:03.97\00:05:05.30
Yep.
00:05:05.33\00:05:06.67
Before, there we go.
00:05:06.70\00:05:08.30
Perfect, all right.
00:05:08.34\00:05:11.07
Put that down there.
00:05:11.11\00:05:12.94
So we'll go
ahead and let that boil
00:05:12.97\00:05:15.74
and what the
whole purpose of boiling
00:05:15.78\00:05:17.71
is sort of to tenderize.
00:05:17.75\00:05:19.08
Okay.
00:05:19.11\00:05:20.45
So I really enjoy that
because it makes it easier
00:05:20.48\00:05:22.45
when you're
trying to break it apart
00:05:22.48\00:05:23.82
and make a pulled vegan meat.
00:05:23.85\00:05:26.35
So I like that.
00:05:26.39\00:05:27.92
All right, so next
we're gonna go to our veggies.
00:05:27.96\00:05:31.33
We have some green
bell peppers chopped,
00:05:31.36\00:05:34.60
red bell peppers
00:05:34.63\00:05:36.00
and as we spoke
as previous episodes,
00:05:36.03\00:05:37.97
they have antioxidants,
00:05:38.00\00:05:39.33
which are excellent
for fighting free radicals.
00:05:39.37\00:05:42.47
So I like getting bell peppers.
00:05:42.50\00:05:45.37
Yeah, I love bell
peppers, red bell peppers,
00:05:45.41\00:05:48.04
green bell peppers,
yellow bell peppers,
00:05:48.08\00:05:50.18
and they're all
high in vitamin C, right?
00:05:50.21\00:05:53.21
Absolutely, you're right, Jason.
00:05:53.25\00:05:54.68
All right.
00:05:54.72\00:05:56.05
All right.
00:05:56.08\00:05:57.42
So what are we gonna
do now with our recipe?
00:05:57.45\00:05:59.59
Okay, so now we've got
our veggies chopped up.
00:05:59.62\00:06:02.36
Oh, we can chop
an onion as well.
00:06:02.39\00:06:03.76
Okay.
00:06:03.79\00:06:05.13
So go ahead and chop
that like you normally would.
00:06:05.16\00:06:08.60
I'll add some extra virgin
00:06:08.63\00:06:10.70
cold press oil to the pan.
00:06:10.73\00:06:16.30
You're adding extra, why
extra virgin cold pressed?
00:06:16.34\00:06:19.77
I like that because
it is less processed
00:06:19.81\00:06:22.54
so it's healthier for you.
00:06:22.58\00:06:24.15
Um, you also could use
water as a replacement.
00:06:24.18\00:06:28.52
Really, you can use
water as a replacement?
00:06:28.55\00:06:30.59
Yeah, it's, I like to
cook with water as well.
00:06:30.62\00:06:32.62
It's healthier for you,
00:06:32.65\00:06:33.99
it doesn't have
any additional things
00:06:34.02\00:06:37.13
that could
negatively impact your health.
00:06:37.16\00:06:39.89
Not saying that
oil does in moderation,
00:06:39.93\00:06:41.86
but it's a nice way to
really stay away from oil.
00:06:41.90\00:06:45.63
We got to be temperate.
00:06:45.67\00:06:47.00
Yeah, exactly.
00:06:47.04\00:06:48.37
Got you.
00:06:48.40\00:06:49.74
So right here we
have the olive oil there,
00:06:49.77\00:06:52.14
you're cutting that up.
00:06:52.17\00:06:54.18
The other ingredients we'll add
00:06:54.21\00:06:55.54
is the minced garlic
which is really good.
00:06:55.58\00:06:57.98
So...
00:06:58.01\00:06:59.35
So little minced
garlic in action.
00:06:59.38\00:07:01.12
And then I'll chop
while you're doing that.
00:07:01.15\00:07:03.52
I will chop the cabbage.
00:07:03.55\00:07:06.55
Okay.
00:07:06.59\00:07:08.99
All right.
00:07:09.02\00:07:10.36
So I really like these tacos
because I once went to Curacao,
00:07:10.39\00:07:15.80
which is an island of Venezuela.
00:07:15.83\00:07:17.83
Okay.
00:07:17.87\00:07:19.20
Beautiful, beautiful island.
00:07:19.23\00:07:21.14
The people are
incredible and food.
00:07:21.17\00:07:23.77
It sounds like a nice place.
00:07:23.81\00:07:25.14
Yeah, yes,
00:07:25.17\00:07:26.51
two of my good
friends are from there,
00:07:26.54\00:07:28.08
and when I went to one
of my friend's wedding,
00:07:28.11\00:07:31.61
they had this
peanut sauté sauce.
00:07:31.65\00:07:34.32
I remember I tried it,
00:07:34.35\00:07:35.68
and I literally
stared at my food,
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.65
like how in the
world is this real.
00:07:37.69\00:07:39.52
Really? I'm a foodie, so.
00:07:39.55\00:07:41.39
You know, I find
myself doing that too.
00:07:41.42\00:07:43.83
Do you?
00:07:43.86\00:07:45.19
If you look at my Facebook,
00:07:45.23\00:07:46.56
there's probably
more pictures of my plates
00:07:46.59\00:07:48.30
from everywhere that I go,
00:07:48.33\00:07:50.80
as opposed to
pictures of anything else.
00:07:50.83\00:07:53.00
Well, I can relate with you.
00:07:53.03\00:07:54.47
Maybe you trumped me on
that one, but I love food.
00:07:54.50\00:07:58.37
All right, so
here's the purple cabbage,
00:07:58.41\00:08:01.08
which is great for it.
00:08:01.11\00:08:02.44
I'll take some of your onions.
00:08:02.48\00:08:03.81
Can I have that? Yes, please.
00:08:03.85\00:08:05.18
And I'll put this into.
00:08:05.21\00:08:06.55
So I got a little mini board.
00:08:06.58\00:08:07.92
Yep, no problem at all.
00:08:07.95\00:08:09.28
You're gonna start sautéing this
00:08:09.32\00:08:11.22
so we've got our
olive oil, got some onions,
00:08:11.25\00:08:13.99
we're gonna put some
garlic in there as well.
00:08:14.02\00:08:15.79
Okay.
00:08:15.82\00:08:18.79
All right, we're gonna
let this start to sauté.
00:08:18.83\00:08:22.86
The jackfruit
meanwhile is tenderizing
00:08:22.90\00:08:25.97
and cooking down which is great.
00:08:26.00\00:08:28.40
We'll also add our
green bell peppers.
00:08:28.44\00:08:31.47
Okay.
00:08:31.51\00:08:32.84
As you said,
which are great source
00:08:32.87\00:08:34.24
of vitamin C and antioxidants.
00:08:34.28\00:08:36.34
Indeed.
00:08:36.38\00:08:37.71
We'll put some red
bell peppers in there.
00:08:37.75\00:08:40.02
Do you see the color in that?
00:08:40.05\00:08:41.38
Yeah. So incredible.
00:08:41.42\00:08:42.75
Yes, it's colorful
00:08:42.78\00:08:44.12
and why is
having multiple colors
00:08:44.15\00:08:46.15
of vegetables so important?
00:08:46.19\00:08:48.29
Well, I found that
00:08:48.32\00:08:49.82
the more color
that you have in a dish,
00:08:49.86\00:08:52.06
the more nutrients you get.
00:08:52.09\00:08:53.60
So by just looking at this,
00:08:53.63\00:08:55.30
you can tell that
you're getting a diverse,
00:08:55.33\00:08:58.27
diverse sources of nutrients.
00:08:58.30\00:08:59.77
So this is a really good
thing to have in your dish.
00:08:59.80\00:09:01.87
You want to have
those rich different colors.
00:09:01.90\00:09:04.71
And adds extra flavor too.
00:09:04.74\00:09:06.31
And it adds extra flavor.
00:09:06.34\00:09:07.78
The more herbs and
spices you cook with,
00:09:07.81\00:09:09.68
the less salt you'll
need, which is really cool.
00:09:09.71\00:09:11.38
Absolutely.
00:09:11.41\00:09:12.75
Especially for hypertension.
00:09:12.78\00:09:14.42
As I'm chopping
over here, you know,
00:09:14.45\00:09:16.35
I may not be
looking at you as much.
00:09:16.38\00:09:18.32
I'm not that
much of a professional
00:09:18.35\00:09:20.36
with my knife game,
00:09:20.39\00:09:21.72
so I don't want to lose
00:09:21.76\00:09:24.69
a couple fingers in the process.
00:09:24.73\00:09:26.06
Okay, I respect that.
00:09:26.09\00:09:27.43
Thank you for doing that.
00:09:27.46\00:09:28.80
I don't want to
witness any of that going on.
00:09:28.83\00:09:30.17
Yeah, no extra ingredients.
00:09:30.20\00:09:31.83
All right. All right.
00:09:31.87\00:09:33.23
So this is perfect.
00:09:33.27\00:09:34.60
I'll go ahead
and take your onions
00:09:34.64\00:09:37.04
and add this to the mix.
00:09:37.07\00:09:39.07
Okay.
00:09:39.11\00:09:40.44
So now we're
letting this sauté down.
00:09:40.48\00:09:44.68
Okay.
00:09:44.71\00:09:46.18
So you're letting it sauté down?
00:09:46.21\00:09:47.62
Uh-huh.
00:09:47.65\00:09:48.98
And if you find it needed,
00:09:49.02\00:09:50.89
you could
actually add more water
00:09:50.92\00:09:53.09
to just make sure that
00:09:53.12\00:09:56.12
there's no stickiness on the pan
00:09:56.16\00:09:57.79
and just a
healthy way of doing it.
00:09:57.83\00:09:59.16
But go ahead
and sauté this down.
00:09:59.19\00:10:01.13
Now I think our
jackfruit is ready.
00:10:01.16\00:10:02.70
Okay.
00:10:02.73\00:10:04.07
So, to get a time scale,
00:10:04.10\00:10:06.33
it could cook from
anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.
00:10:06.37\00:10:09.00
Okay, so our
jackfruit has been cooking
00:10:09.04\00:10:10.67
so now we can drain this out.
00:10:10.71\00:10:12.47
All right, let me
bring it over towards you.
00:10:12.51\00:10:15.14
Thank you very much.
00:10:15.18\00:10:16.51
Yeah, you're welcome.
00:10:16.54\00:10:17.88
All right, so we'll start,
you can pass that, thank you.
00:10:17.91\00:10:22.55
All right, perfect.
00:10:28.59\00:10:30.69
It's amazing how
jackfruit breaks apart
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.23
in a stringing it takes on.
00:10:33.26\00:10:35.50
It reminds me of chicken almost.
00:10:35.53\00:10:37.10
Does it?
00:10:37.13\00:10:38.47
Like when you break it apart,
00:10:38.50\00:10:39.83
kind of like a
pull chicken type thing.
00:10:39.87\00:10:41.64
It's my favorite.
I absolutely love it.
00:10:41.67\00:10:43.00
That's much better for you.
00:10:43.04\00:10:44.41
Yes, I really, really like it.
00:10:44.44\00:10:47.31
It's a really
good meat replacement.
00:10:47.34\00:10:48.68
A lot of meat eaters
that I've made dishes for
00:10:48.71\00:10:50.48
and use this can
hardly tell the difference.
00:10:50.51\00:10:53.11
I actually remember
we had an event at a...
00:10:53.15\00:10:57.62
We were a vendor and
some people came up to us
00:10:57.65\00:11:00.69
and I said, oh,
sorry, I can't eat that,
00:11:00.72\00:11:02.29
they thought it was
another type of animal.
00:11:02.32\00:11:05.19
And they said,
"I can't have that."
00:11:05.23\00:11:07.53
And I said, "Nothing to
worry, it's actually jackfruit."
00:11:07.56\00:11:10.70
So they tried it.
00:11:10.73\00:11:12.07
And it was a
great, great experience.
00:11:12.10\00:11:13.94
Nice, nice.
00:11:13.97\00:11:15.30
So we'll go ahead
and we can actually
00:11:15.34\00:11:17.51
since we pour the
water out of this one.
00:11:17.54\00:11:18.97
Okay. We'll pour it in here.
00:11:19.01\00:11:20.98
Yep, and just, we can use a...
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.04
I'll take that
for you. Thank you.
00:11:23.08\00:11:24.41
You're welcome.
00:11:24.45\00:11:25.78
All right, then we
can use a fork or a spoon.
00:11:25.81\00:11:29.58
All right.
00:11:29.62\00:11:31.55
Okay.
00:11:31.59\00:11:34.59
And just put pressure down
00:11:34.62\00:11:36.29
and I'll show you
on the cutting board
00:11:36.32\00:11:37.86
just to show you
like how it looks.
00:11:37.89\00:11:40.13
So you can take this
and just break it apart.
00:11:40.16\00:11:43.70
Okay.
00:11:43.73\00:11:45.07
And press down.
00:11:45.10\00:11:46.43
I got you.
00:11:46.47\00:11:47.80
You see that how
it's just breaking apart?
00:11:47.84\00:11:49.67
Yep.
00:11:49.70\00:11:51.04
Yep, so we have that.
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.84
So and then, like
with your cabbage?
00:11:53.88\00:11:57.78
Yeah.
00:11:57.81\00:11:59.15
Where do you or when
00:11:59.18\00:12:00.95
and I may be jumping
ahead of myself here,
00:12:00.98\00:12:03.08
but where do you put that
in, when do you put that in?
00:12:03.12\00:12:05.72
That's in the end. Okay.
00:12:05.75\00:12:07.46
But I will switch sides with you
00:12:07.49\00:12:08.99
if you don't mind
00:12:09.02\00:12:10.36
and you can go
ahead and break this down.
00:12:10.39\00:12:11.73
Back in action here.
00:12:11.76\00:12:13.09
Exactly. Got you.
00:12:13.13\00:12:14.46
So now to our
peppers and our onions,
00:12:14.50\00:12:15.83
we're gonna add
some curry powder...
00:12:15.86\00:12:17.73
some chicken,
self seasoning, garlic.
00:12:21.54\00:12:27.01
I love curry.
00:12:27.04\00:12:28.38
Oh, me too.
00:12:28.41\00:12:30.08
Onion powder.
00:12:30.11\00:12:31.45
We got some onion powder.
00:12:35.18\00:12:36.89
Can you smell that?
00:12:36.92\00:12:38.25
Oh, yes.
00:12:38.29\00:12:39.62
You know the great
thing is... I am hungry.
00:12:39.65\00:12:40.99
All right.
00:12:41.02\00:12:42.96
The great thing is
when you can smell that,
00:12:42.99\00:12:45.89
you smell the curry.
00:12:45.93\00:12:47.26
The great thing is that
00:12:47.30\00:12:49.10
that's when the
oils are being released
00:12:49.13\00:12:50.90
from different spices
00:12:50.93\00:12:52.27
so it's gonna be
more potent in your dish.
00:12:52.30\00:12:54.40
Got you.
00:12:54.44\00:12:55.77
Got the curry there
00:12:55.80\00:12:57.21
which I
absolutely love as you say.
00:12:57.24\00:13:00.61
And then we're just
gonna let that sauté.
00:13:00.64\00:13:05.31
Okay, now our
peppers are decreasing,
00:13:05.35\00:13:07.25
which is awesome.
00:13:07.28\00:13:09.05
Oh, jackfruit is starting
to look really good too.
00:13:09.08\00:13:11.32
Is it? Yep.
00:13:11.35\00:13:12.69
Nice. All right.
00:13:12.72\00:13:14.76
So we're gonna
keep stirring that
00:13:14.79\00:13:17.23
and we're gonna,
00:13:17.26\00:13:18.59
I'm gonna add a
little water to it.
00:13:18.63\00:13:20.53
Okay.
00:13:20.56\00:13:24.13
All right.
00:13:24.17\00:13:26.13
Water.
00:13:26.17\00:13:30.31
A little water to that.
00:13:30.34\00:13:33.68
Here we go.
00:13:33.71\00:13:36.11
How did you discover jackfruit?
00:13:36.14\00:13:38.48
Well, actually it
was for one of my events,
00:13:38.51\00:13:42.35
the first event
that I was doing,
00:13:42.38\00:13:44.49
I was doing
research and figuring out
00:13:44.52\00:13:47.16
what is a good I really
wanted to say health focus.
00:13:47.19\00:13:50.63
I like, you know,
veggie meat at times,
00:13:50.66\00:13:53.33
but I wanted to lean off of that
00:13:53.36\00:13:55.10
and I wanted to go
more to the natural source.
00:13:55.13\00:13:57.57
I got you.
00:13:57.60\00:13:58.93
The healthier, when something's
in its natural state, the more,
00:13:58.97\00:14:02.74
the more nutrients you
can get, the less process.
00:14:02.77\00:14:05.44
So I was looking
for something like that
00:14:05.47\00:14:07.34
and through
research, I found jackfruit.
00:14:07.38\00:14:09.14
Nice.
00:14:09.18\00:14:10.51
And that is one of the
things that inspired me
00:14:10.55\00:14:13.62
and then we
tried it for our event
00:14:13.65\00:14:15.92
and it was really, really good.
00:14:15.95\00:14:17.95
So it's always
stuck with me since then.
00:14:17.99\00:14:20.56
It's affordable too.
00:14:20.59\00:14:21.92
So when you go to the store,
00:14:21.96\00:14:23.29
there's like these huge
green jackfruits that are sweet.
00:14:23.32\00:14:25.96
But then you get it in the can
00:14:25.99\00:14:27.63
you get them at Asian markets.
00:14:27.66\00:14:30.43
You can also get it
at health food stores.
00:14:30.47\00:14:34.70
They're usually under
$2 per can which is nice.
00:14:34.74\00:14:39.21
You can get two and
it'll feed a family.
00:14:39.24\00:14:41.64
So it's affordable,
cost effective, and healthy.
00:14:41.68\00:14:44.71
Nice. Yeah.
00:14:44.75\00:14:46.08
All right.
00:14:46.11\00:14:47.45
So now if you could put
your jackfruit inside of there.
00:14:47.48\00:14:49.18
Absolutely,
somebody is gonna get
00:14:49.22\00:14:50.95
a little chunky jackfruit here
00:14:50.99\00:14:52.65
'cause some of the
jackfruit didn't want to break,
00:14:52.69\00:14:56.26
it's like apart.
00:14:56.29\00:14:58.36
Here, I'll take some from here.
00:14:58.39\00:15:00.03
Grab that spoon. Yeah.
00:15:00.06\00:15:02.96
I'll pour it over.
00:15:03.00\00:15:04.37
Okay.
00:15:04.40\00:15:05.73
Now if you could
spoon that from there?
00:15:05.77\00:15:10.87
This pot get's hot.
00:15:10.91\00:15:12.94
All right.
00:15:12.97\00:15:14.31
There we go.
00:15:14.34\00:15:15.68
All right.
00:15:15.71\00:15:17.05
And if you see some
pieces that didn't break before,
00:15:17.08\00:15:19.55
you can just break it
while you're in there, okay?
00:15:19.58\00:15:24.35
All right.
00:15:24.39\00:15:25.72
And for other
pieces that are thicker...
00:15:25.75\00:15:27.92
Yep for other
pieces that are thicker,
00:15:27.96\00:15:29.89
you can chop them up.
00:15:29.92\00:15:32.19
So you can use
a spoon or a fork.
00:15:32.23\00:15:35.70
One thing that I
also like to use,
00:15:35.73\00:15:37.07
I'll put it in like a
Ziploc bag and I'll pound it.
00:15:37.10\00:15:41.30
You put it in a
Ziploc bag and pound it?
00:15:41.34\00:15:43.27
Yeah, when I have a lot of like
a larger event or something,
00:15:43.30\00:15:46.78
just to be effective with time.
00:15:46.81\00:15:48.51
Okay.
00:15:48.54\00:15:49.88
All right, so
now we're gonna pour
00:15:49.91\00:15:52.25
the peanut satay sauce...
00:15:52.28\00:15:54.28
Okay.
00:15:54.32\00:15:55.75
Over that.
00:15:55.78\00:15:57.52
And then what else
do you want to pour?
00:15:57.55\00:15:59.39
Then we'll do some...
00:15:59.42\00:16:00.76
This is called liquid aminos.
00:16:00.79\00:16:02.79
Okay.
00:16:02.82\00:16:04.16
And it's a great thing
to add. So just pour this.
00:16:04.19\00:16:06.16
It gives you,
it's a soy placement.
00:16:06.19\00:16:08.83
Okay.
00:16:08.86\00:16:10.20
And a soy sauce replacement,
00:16:10.23\00:16:11.57
then we're
gonna add some peanuts
00:16:11.60\00:16:13.30
that came with sauce.
00:16:13.34\00:16:14.67
Okay.
00:16:14.70\00:16:18.61
All right.
00:16:18.64\00:16:23.61
You got that going.
00:16:23.65\00:16:25.31
Yeah.
00:16:25.35\00:16:26.75
Smells amazing.
00:16:26.78\00:16:31.32
Okay, now we'll
add some coconut milk,
00:16:31.35\00:16:35.22
you can get like coconut milk.
00:16:35.26\00:16:36.99
Okay.
00:16:40.93\00:16:42.60
And now, what you
do is you just pull,
00:16:42.63\00:16:46.23
add your tortillas.
00:16:46.27\00:16:47.60
Okay.
00:16:47.64\00:16:48.97
You toast it in the skillet,
few minutes or so on each side.
00:16:49.00\00:16:52.67
All right.
00:16:52.71\00:16:54.04
And then what you do is
you take your jackfruit.
00:16:54.08\00:17:00.12
Okay. Okay.
00:17:00.15\00:17:02.15
So I'm going to
take your cutting board.
00:17:02.18\00:17:04.45
Gotcha.
00:17:04.49\00:17:05.82
Put a little,
we're finished with this.
00:17:05.85\00:17:07.79
Yep.
00:17:07.82\00:17:10.73
Take out.
00:17:10.76\00:17:12.09
Now, you warmed the tortillas?
00:17:12.13\00:17:13.46
Perfect tortillas.
00:17:13.50\00:17:14.83
Yep, then you'll put
the jackfruit on here.
00:17:14.86\00:17:18.43
Okay.
00:17:18.47\00:17:20.37
Oh, nice.
00:17:20.40\00:17:22.34
Just like so.
00:17:22.37\00:17:23.71
Nice.
00:17:23.74\00:17:25.11
You can also add some
other cabbage if you like.
00:17:25.14\00:17:29.18
A little bit of
purple cabbage as well.
00:17:29.21\00:17:35.12
Okay. Nice, very colorful.
00:17:35.15\00:17:36.89
Yes, and then
we'll take the lime.
00:17:36.92\00:17:39.95
We'll squeeze some lime juice.
00:17:39.99\00:17:42.82
Yeah, you know,
that one's a little dull.
00:17:42.86\00:17:45.03
There we go.
00:17:45.06\00:17:46.39
Then we'll
squeeze some lime juice.
00:17:46.43\00:17:51.37
A little extra peanut sauce for.
00:17:51.40\00:17:53.94
On top.
00:17:53.97\00:17:55.30
On top and then you're done.
00:17:55.34\00:17:56.71
All right.
00:17:56.74\00:17:59.71
I want to eat that right now,
00:17:59.74\00:18:01.84
but I'm excited to see
00:18:01.88\00:18:03.21
what our next
recipe is gonna be.
00:18:03.24\00:18:04.58
What are we making next?
00:18:04.61\00:18:05.95
Our next recipe will
be an Indian lentil stew.
00:18:05.98\00:18:09.08
For this recipe you'll need:
00:18:09.12\00:18:10.55
I'm excited to see
this dish come together.
00:18:35.41\00:18:37.51
Normally, I don't like lentils
00:18:37.55\00:18:38.95
but I have a feeling
yours are going to be delicious.
00:18:38.98\00:18:42.18
So where are we going
to start with this dish?
00:18:42.22\00:18:45.35
Okay, so we're gonna start
00:18:45.39\00:18:46.82
and put some olive
oil or water in a skillet.
00:18:46.86\00:18:49.99
Okay.
00:18:50.03\00:18:51.36
We'll also bring five to
six cups of water to a boil
00:18:51.39\00:18:54.03
so the lentils
can go inside that.
00:18:54.06\00:18:55.40
Okay, and we've already
got our water in the pot.
00:18:55.43\00:18:56.97
We've got our water in the pot.
00:18:57.00\00:18:58.73
So now, I will
take some lentils,
00:18:58.77\00:19:00.97
pour it in and let those
boil for about 30 minutes.
00:19:01.00\00:19:05.04
All right. All right.
00:19:05.07\00:19:06.41
But we're thankful
that this is television.
00:19:06.44\00:19:08.14
Yes.
00:19:08.18\00:19:09.51
And actually have
a finished product.
00:19:09.54\00:19:10.88
Yes, we do. Yep,
we'll look at that later.
00:19:10.91\00:19:12.38
Yes.
00:19:12.41\00:19:13.75
All right, so
now in this skillet,
00:19:13.78\00:19:15.12
what we'll do, can
you add some onions?
00:19:15.15\00:19:17.35
Absolutely.
00:19:17.39\00:19:19.65
As well as celery?
00:19:19.69\00:19:21.82
Sure.
00:19:21.86\00:19:24.33
And. And carrots?
00:19:24.36\00:19:25.73
And carrots and so
the cool thing about this,
00:19:25.76\00:19:27.73
this base right here
is called a mirepoix.
00:19:27.76\00:19:31.50
Say that, say that again?
00:19:31.53\00:19:32.87
A mirepoix. Mirepoix.
00:19:32.90\00:19:34.24
Yes, it's an excellent thing
00:19:34.27\00:19:36.00
that I was taught
and I really am thankful.
00:19:36.04\00:19:38.91
It's a base for,
00:19:38.94\00:19:40.98
it's a French
term and it's a base,
00:19:41.01\00:19:42.34
which really means that
00:19:42.38\00:19:44.31
it consists of
carrots, celery, and onions.
00:19:44.35\00:19:47.08
So I really like that.
00:19:47.12\00:19:48.65
This will give you flavor
00:19:48.68\00:19:50.02
and a nice
thing to build off of.
00:19:50.05\00:19:51.65
So we're gonna
allow that to cook,
00:19:51.69\00:19:53.46
I'll turn the eye on and
we'll let that sauté down.
00:19:53.49\00:19:55.96
Nice.
00:19:55.99\00:19:57.33
You can get one of those, okay.
00:19:57.36\00:19:58.99
We'll also let that
sauté down with some garlic.
00:19:59.03\00:20:01.46
Oh, nice.
00:20:01.50\00:20:02.83
So put some garlic in
there for additional flavor.
00:20:02.86\00:20:05.77
While the beans are boiling,
I'll add some bay leaves.
00:20:05.80\00:20:09.57
And the great
thing about bay leaves is
00:20:09.60\00:20:12.04
they're good for your body also,
00:20:12.07\00:20:13.78
sometimes when it comes
to different types of beans
00:20:13.81\00:20:16.18
or sometimes it
can create ingestion
00:20:16.21\00:20:18.41
or things like that,
00:20:18.45\00:20:19.78
this helps to
fight against that,
00:20:19.81\00:20:22.15
so you go ahead and
put that in your beans.
00:20:22.18\00:20:24.85
Okay.
00:20:24.89\00:20:26.86
So that helps fight
against indigestion.
00:20:26.89\00:20:29.06
Yeah, and the different, like,
00:20:29.09\00:20:31.76
gas or toxins that
could come from beans
00:20:31.79\00:20:33.56
so it helps to eliminate that.
00:20:33.60\00:20:36.73
So we'll go ahead and
that's cooking and while...
00:20:36.77\00:20:40.54
Do you normally
just want to let this
00:20:40.57\00:20:41.90
just sit or do you want to?
00:20:41.94\00:20:43.27
Yeah, you let it sauté.
00:20:43.30\00:20:44.64
Yep, you just let it sauté down.
00:20:44.67\00:20:46.01
Okay.
00:20:46.04\00:20:47.38
And this is one of my favorites.
00:20:47.41\00:20:48.91
What is it?
00:20:48.94\00:20:50.28
This is curry, smell that.
00:20:50.31\00:20:51.65
Oh, yes. Is that awesome?
00:20:51.68\00:20:53.01
That's one of my favorites too.
00:20:53.05\00:20:54.38
Right. Yeah.
00:20:54.42\00:20:55.75
So now we're gonna
put some curry on here.
00:20:55.78\00:20:57.12
Okay.
00:20:57.15\00:20:58.89
And then I'll also
give you cumin seeds.
00:20:58.92\00:21:00.86
Cumin seeds? Can
you put that in there?
00:21:00.89\00:21:02.22
Sure.
00:21:02.26\00:21:03.59
I like it because it
adds a nice element of flavor.
00:21:03.63\00:21:05.56
They all start to
combine and it has a good base.
00:21:05.59\00:21:08.56
Next, we'll add
some curry powder.
00:21:08.60\00:21:10.67
Okay.
00:21:10.70\00:21:13.50
Wow, that smells amazing too.
00:21:13.54\00:21:15.97
And some chili paste.
00:21:16.00\00:21:17.64
Chili paste, okay.
00:21:17.67\00:21:20.94
Just in case you thought
00:21:20.98\00:21:22.31
we didn't have enough
things going in there.
00:21:22.34\00:21:23.68
Oh, I'll tell you, we
got some flavor going on.
00:21:23.71\00:21:26.21
And we have some
ginger, sliced ginger.
00:21:26.25\00:21:30.12
Too much flavor for the flame...
00:21:30.15\00:21:31.49
Too much flavor for the pot.
00:21:31.52\00:21:34.22
All right.
00:21:34.26\00:21:35.59
Okay, so... So now...
00:21:35.62\00:21:36.96
Do I want to mix this?
00:21:36.99\00:21:38.33
Yep, now you'll mix it. Okay.
00:21:38.36\00:21:39.69
And you want to
look for the aroma
00:21:39.73\00:21:41.06
coming from the different spices
00:21:41.10\00:21:43.33
because that means the
oils are being released.
00:21:43.37\00:21:45.03
Nice.
00:21:45.07\00:21:46.40
And those oils
will be in your food
00:21:46.43\00:21:47.77
so it'll be more flavorful.
00:21:47.80\00:21:49.14
Nice.
00:21:49.17\00:21:50.51
We'll go and add
that which is great.
00:21:50.54\00:21:52.41
Okay.
00:21:52.44\00:21:56.14
Perfect.
00:21:56.18\00:21:58.35
It's very colorful.
00:21:58.38\00:21:59.71
It is, and that
shows in our previous dish
00:21:59.75\00:22:02.35
that you're getting
lots of different nutrients.
00:22:02.38\00:22:04.15
Got you.
00:22:04.19\00:22:05.95
Now, recently you spoke
at an event in Michigan.
00:22:05.99\00:22:09.62
Yes.
00:22:09.66\00:22:10.99
That was what over
1000 people in attendance,
00:22:11.03\00:22:12.36
it was about 4,000 to
5,000 people at that event.
00:22:12.39\00:22:14.10
Four to five
thousand people in it,
00:22:14.13\00:22:16.23
what were you talking about?
00:22:16.26\00:22:17.83
My topic was weight loss
00:22:17.87\00:22:19.57
and ways to
successfully combat it.
00:22:19.60\00:22:21.20
Okay.
00:22:21.24\00:22:22.57
So, just like these beans
00:22:22.60\00:22:24.37
really going back
to the whole plant.
00:22:24.41\00:22:27.14
Another thing that
I spoke about was that
00:22:27.18\00:22:29.68
fiber is really
good for weight loss
00:22:29.71\00:22:32.55
because it acts like a
broom within the system.
00:22:32.58\00:22:35.38
It doesn't
dissolve and turn to fat,
00:22:35.42\00:22:38.15
it really helps
eliminate toxins in the body.
00:22:38.19\00:22:40.56
So I like these beans.
00:22:40.59\00:22:42.29
I liked them as well
00:22:42.32\00:22:43.66
because they have
protease inhibitors.
00:22:43.69\00:22:45.56
So, Around the World in 7 Days,
00:22:45.59\00:22:47.00
it was an awesome
opportunity to speak there
00:22:47.03\00:22:49.10
and talk about weight loss
00:22:49.13\00:22:50.47
and ways to share
the health message.
00:22:50.50\00:22:52.77
Nice.
00:22:52.80\00:22:54.14
So yep, so now
this is done. Okay.
00:22:54.17\00:22:56.14
We're just gonna
pour this into our beans
00:22:56.17\00:23:01.14
and it literally
takes the flavor.
00:23:01.18\00:23:05.21
The beans will take
the flavor of the mirepoix.
00:23:05.25\00:23:06.92
Okay.
00:23:06.95\00:23:08.28
We'll put some
tomatoes in there as well.
00:23:08.32\00:23:10.32
All right.
00:23:10.35\00:23:12.52
And then we'll stir it around.
00:23:12.55\00:23:13.92
Look like it will be good.
00:23:13.96\00:23:15.59
I know, I really enjoy them
00:23:15.62\00:23:17.23
and then we're
gonna put some cilantro.
00:23:17.26\00:23:18.99
Okay.
00:23:19.03\00:23:20.36
So you can just chop this up.
00:23:20.40\00:23:24.40
All right, cilantro's in there
00:23:24.43\00:23:26.97
and you don't have to
use the whole handful.
00:23:27.00\00:23:29.27
It depends on how
much you enjoy cilantro.
00:23:29.30\00:23:31.87
So put some cilantro in there
00:23:31.91\00:23:33.24
and then you
just let it cook down,
00:23:33.27\00:23:34.88
allow all the
flavors to assimilate
00:23:34.91\00:23:38.71
and you can put a little
bit of pink Himalayan salt
00:23:38.75\00:23:40.75
or liquid aminos
additional to the recipe
00:23:40.78\00:23:42.98
if you like to add
a little more taste.
00:23:43.02\00:23:45.72
How important do
you think flavor is,
00:23:45.75\00:23:48.96
a good tasting food?
00:23:48.99\00:23:50.39
How important is it?
00:23:50.43\00:23:51.76
You know, I used to never think
00:23:51.79\00:23:53.50
that I could
eat plant based food
00:23:53.53\00:23:54.86
until I taste flavorful food.
00:23:54.90\00:23:57.23
So the food that we
make should be palatable
00:23:57.27\00:24:00.64
and also healthy.
00:24:00.67\00:24:02.00
Absolutely. I like that.
00:24:02.04\00:24:03.37
Yeah. And that
looks flavorful...
00:24:03.41\00:24:05.44
Nice.
00:24:05.47\00:24:06.81
And extra healthy.
00:24:06.84\00:24:09.24
What else are we
gonna be making today?
00:24:09.28\00:24:10.71
Okay, for our next dish,
00:24:10.75\00:24:13.01
we will be making vegetable rice
00:24:13.05\00:24:15.28
and the ingredients include:
00:24:15.32\00:24:16.89
Okay, so we've got a lot of
great spices and seasonings,
00:24:47.58\00:24:51.92
and onions and garlic,
00:24:51.95\00:24:54.02
but how are we
gonna start this dish off?
00:24:54.06\00:24:56.66
Okay, so we're
gonna start it off
00:24:56.69\00:24:58.03
with some brown rice.
00:24:58.06\00:24:59.39
Okay.
00:24:59.43\00:25:00.76
And I was taught this
technique called negre,
00:25:00.80\00:25:02.43
which means you put the rice.
00:25:02.46\00:25:04.30
Yeah, but say
that one again for me.
00:25:04.33\00:25:05.73
Negre.
00:25:05.77\00:25:07.10
Okay.
00:25:07.14\00:25:08.47
Basically it's
brown and other rice
00:25:08.50\00:25:09.84
and it's open it up for cooking.
00:25:09.87\00:25:12.34
Gotcha.
00:25:12.37\00:25:13.71
So essentially we're
just allowing the rice,
00:25:13.74\00:25:16.04
put it in a skillet.
00:25:16.08\00:25:17.45
You can put a
little olive oil or water
00:25:17.48\00:25:19.35
and you just want to
brown it in the skillet like so.
00:25:19.38\00:25:25.05
Can let it sit for a minute,
00:25:25.09\00:25:26.42
but let's look at what
we're gonna put in there.
00:25:26.45\00:25:27.96
All right.
00:25:27.99\00:25:29.32
So we've got our onions ready.
00:25:29.36\00:25:30.99
So we will take this.
00:25:31.03\00:25:34.30
You want me to pour
some onions in there?
00:25:34.33\00:25:36.13
Yep, so we'll put
this all into this baking.
00:25:36.16\00:25:38.97
Okay.
00:25:39.00\00:25:42.84
Okay.
00:25:42.87\00:25:44.67
It goes all
into the baking dish.
00:25:44.71\00:25:47.74
All right, and now you
can pour some onions in.
00:25:47.78\00:25:51.18
Onions, okay.
00:25:51.21\00:25:54.68
Perfect.
00:25:54.72\00:25:56.05
And then if you can
get some vegetable broth,
00:25:56.08\00:25:58.59
which is right here.
00:25:58.62\00:25:59.95
Vegetable broth? Okay.
00:25:59.99\00:26:01.32
Low sodium.
00:26:01.36\00:26:02.69
We want to pour
this whole thing in here?
00:26:02.72\00:26:04.06
Yes. Okay.
00:26:04.09\00:26:05.43
And I really like it
00:26:05.46\00:26:06.80
because the rice
absorbs the flavor
00:26:06.83\00:26:09.13
from the vegetable broth
00:26:09.16\00:26:10.50
so it doesn't,
it's not so flavorless
00:26:10.53\00:26:12.87
and it's low sodium
so it's better for you.
00:26:12.90\00:26:15.10
And why is low
sodium so important?
00:26:15.14\00:26:17.77
Yeah, that's a
really good question.
00:26:17.81\00:26:19.14
So hypertension is so
prevalent so as diabetes,
00:26:19.17\00:26:22.21
and millions and millions
of people are impacted by it,
00:26:22.24\00:26:24.81
whether it be pre
diabetes or diabetes,
00:26:24.85\00:26:27.28
and sometimes they
tend to go in tandem,
00:26:27.32\00:26:29.28
hypertension and diabetes,
00:26:29.32\00:26:30.65
although
they're separate things,
00:26:30.69\00:26:32.02
so it's better to
have to be preventative
00:26:32.05\00:26:34.89
in the lifestyle choices.
00:26:34.92\00:26:36.42
So I like to use low
sodium or pink Himalayan salt
00:26:36.46\00:26:39.73
if I can use
that or liquid aminos.
00:26:39.76\00:26:41.96
That's quite good.
00:26:42.00\00:26:43.33
So we'll and
speaking of liquid aminos,
00:26:43.37\00:26:45.00
if you could pour some
liquid aminos into the rice.
00:26:45.03\00:26:48.04
That is perfect. Okay.
00:26:48.07\00:26:49.87
And turmeric,
00:26:49.90\00:26:51.24
which is really
good for the bones.
00:26:51.27\00:26:52.91
And you got to
be careful with this
00:26:52.94\00:26:54.28
'cause it stains your clothes.
00:26:54.31\00:26:55.64
It really does. It really does.
00:26:55.68\00:26:57.01
I have some countertops
00:26:57.05\00:26:58.38
that are not so
happy with me, but yes.
00:26:58.41\00:26:59.75
Yeah.
00:26:59.78\00:27:01.12
Then some
chicken style seasoning,
00:27:01.15\00:27:02.72
which is incredible.
00:27:02.75\00:27:05.42
All right, then you'll
add some minced garlic.
00:27:05.45\00:27:09.52
Some minced garlic.
It's one of my favorites.
00:27:09.56\00:27:11.96
Yep, and if it doesn't come out,
00:27:11.99\00:27:13.33
you can use this too, perfect.
00:27:13.36\00:27:15.06
Okay, then just in case
we didn't have enough garlic,
00:27:15.10\00:27:18.03
we've got garlic powder.
00:27:18.07\00:27:19.40
Yes.
00:27:19.43\00:27:20.77
We have garlic
powder, put that in there.
00:27:20.80\00:27:22.14
Whoever I talked to after this
00:27:22.17\00:27:23.51
is not gonna be
too happy with me.
00:27:23.54\00:27:25.54
Yeah, well hey, at least
you enjoy the experience.
00:27:25.57\00:27:27.41
Absolutely.
00:27:27.44\00:27:28.78
So then we have some
peas, some frozen peas,
00:27:28.81\00:27:31.41
you can put in there as well.
00:27:31.45\00:27:32.78
Okay.
00:27:32.81\00:27:35.08
Perfect.
00:27:35.12\00:27:38.22
Then we have some dried herbs,
00:27:38.25\00:27:40.46
you can put that in there.
00:27:40.49\00:27:44.13
Okay, now with brown rice,
it does require more liquid
00:27:44.16\00:27:47.63
so I'm gonna add
some additional water.
00:27:47.66\00:27:49.63
Okay.
00:27:49.66\00:27:51.00
Perfect, so the last
thing to do is to stir it.
00:27:55.64\00:27:59.47
So you want to make sure
00:27:59.51\00:28:00.84
the flavor is
distributed evenly.
00:28:00.88\00:28:03.31
So go ahead and stir that.
00:28:03.35\00:28:04.88
Now this is one
of my favorite rice.
00:28:04.91\00:28:06.55
It is a bit of a creamier rice.
00:28:06.58\00:28:08.22
Okay.
00:28:08.25\00:28:09.58
It's just packed with flavor
00:28:09.62\00:28:11.02
and you can tap it
with your favorite dish.
00:28:11.05\00:28:13.15
Nice.
00:28:13.19\00:28:14.52
So we'll tap it off
with some aluminum foil.
00:28:14.56\00:28:17.43
Okay. Like this so.
00:28:17.46\00:28:19.76
Looks like it's
gonna be very flavorful.
00:28:19.79\00:28:22.00
Can you smell it?
00:28:22.03\00:28:24.53
Look at the aroma.
Isn't that incredible?
00:28:24.57\00:28:26.47
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:26.50\00:28:27.84
And I do want to mention too,
00:28:27.87\00:28:29.20
with the lentil
stew, with the bay leaves,
00:28:29.24\00:28:30.87
it's really
important to make sure
00:28:30.91\00:28:32.24
when it's done cooking
to take the bay leaves out,
00:28:32.27\00:28:34.84
to make sure you
don't consume it,
00:28:34.88\00:28:36.21
it's just for cooking with so.
00:28:36.24\00:28:37.85
Got you.
00:28:37.88\00:28:39.21
All right, so there we go.
00:28:39.25\00:28:40.95
And now you'll
bake this in the oven.
00:28:40.98\00:28:42.58
Okay. Put that in there.
00:28:42.62\00:28:44.35
All right.
00:28:44.39\00:28:45.85
Let's see.
00:28:45.89\00:28:47.39
And how long do
you want to leave this?
00:28:47.42\00:28:49.02
This is for an hour.
00:28:49.06\00:28:51.46
Yeah.
00:28:51.49\00:28:54.20
There we go, perfect.
00:28:54.23\00:28:55.93
So just let that bake.
00:28:55.96\00:28:57.50
Now we'll go to our next dish.
00:28:57.53\00:29:00.44
What's the recipe
for our next dish?
00:29:00.47\00:29:02.50
For our next dish,
which is our balti beef,
00:29:02.54\00:29:05.87
the recipe requires:
00:29:05.91\00:29:07.64
Oh, I'm excited to
jump into this recipe.
00:29:48.78\00:29:51.22
Yes, me too.
00:29:51.25\00:29:52.59
So where do we begin?
00:29:52.62\00:29:54.39
Okay, so what we're
gonna do as you can get,
00:29:54.42\00:29:58.03
like a wok or you
can get a skillet,
00:29:58.06\00:30:00.40
we're gonna start off.
00:30:00.43\00:30:01.83
We're gonna turn the heat on,
00:30:01.86\00:30:03.60
and we're gonna put a little bit
00:30:03.63\00:30:04.97
of water at the base.
00:30:05.00\00:30:06.33
We're gonna cook
with water today.
00:30:06.37\00:30:07.70
All right.
00:30:07.74\00:30:09.07
We're talking
about healthier option.
00:30:09.10\00:30:10.44
Put it there for you.
00:30:10.47\00:30:11.81
Thank you very much.
00:30:11.84\00:30:13.17
And if you don't mind
you can also use chopped
00:30:13.21\00:30:14.54
or you can use thick onions.
00:30:14.58\00:30:16.54
You can go ahead
and put the onions
00:30:16.58\00:30:17.91
and garlic in there.
00:30:17.95\00:30:19.28
Okay.
00:30:19.31\00:30:22.25
Perfect.
00:30:22.28\00:30:24.62
All right. Okay.
00:30:24.65\00:30:28.09
You just said
the garlic in there.
00:30:28.12\00:30:29.46
Yep, you put
the garlic in there.
00:30:29.49\00:30:32.46
Excellent.
00:30:32.49\00:30:34.40
Okay.
00:30:34.43\00:30:36.33
Now you can put
the bell peppers.
00:30:36.36\00:30:38.50
Oh, yeah.
00:30:38.53\00:30:40.20
Bell peppers are delicious.
00:30:40.24\00:30:42.17
Look at the color in that,
00:30:42.20\00:30:43.54
that's something
that you'll keep finding.
00:30:43.57\00:30:45.31
As you said before
in previous episodes,
00:30:45.34\00:30:47.54
vitamin C is very
prevalent in these peppers.
00:30:47.58\00:30:50.71
Indeed.
00:30:50.75\00:30:52.08
Yeah, so it's really good
to see the different colors,
00:30:52.11\00:30:53.98
different nutrients,
we'll also add the...
00:30:54.02\00:30:58.09
We'll add that second,
we will also add the ginger.
00:30:58.12\00:31:00.56
The ginger? Oh, okay, so.
00:31:00.59\00:31:01.92
It gives it a
nice different flavor.
00:31:01.96\00:31:03.79
Do you smell it?
Yeah, I like that.
00:31:03.83\00:31:05.16
Strong, yeah. Love ginger.
00:31:05.19\00:31:06.66
Awesome. There we go.
00:31:06.70\00:31:08.03
So we got the
ginger in there. Okay.
00:31:08.06\00:31:09.43
And then we'll
add some curry powder.
00:31:09.46\00:31:11.63
Okay.
00:31:11.67\00:31:13.00
Which is this one right there.
00:31:13.03\00:31:15.10
I gotta smell everything before.
00:31:15.14\00:31:17.24
Yeah, that sounds really good.
00:31:17.27\00:31:19.04
Really, really good.
00:31:19.07\00:31:20.74
Okay, perfect.
00:31:20.78\00:31:23.75
All right, then
we'll put some cumin seeds.
00:31:23.78\00:31:26.55
Okay.
00:31:26.58\00:31:29.35
There we go. Some fennel seeds.
00:31:29.38\00:31:31.82
Okay.
00:31:31.85\00:31:35.02
Perfect.
00:31:35.06\00:31:36.39
And now, we're gonna
add our vegan beef strips.
00:31:36.42\00:31:39.59
All right.
00:31:39.63\00:31:40.96
Let me pour that in there.
00:31:41.00\00:31:43.47
Perfect.
00:31:43.50\00:31:44.83
All right, so
now I'm gonna stir in
00:31:44.87\00:31:46.27
all these ingredients
00:31:46.30\00:31:48.00
and you want the
vegan beef strips
00:31:48.04\00:31:49.44
to essentially
absorb all of the flavors
00:31:49.47\00:31:51.91
that we've been
putting in together.
00:31:51.94\00:31:54.68
So, just sauté that.
00:31:54.71\00:31:57.31
Do you like to travel?
00:31:57.35\00:31:58.68
I love traveling.
00:31:58.71\00:32:00.05
'Cause I see you
use the curry powder
00:32:00.08\00:32:01.78
and all the stuff.
00:32:01.82\00:32:03.15
Yeah. It reminds
me of the islands.
00:32:03.18\00:32:04.52
Yep, I definitely love traveling
00:32:04.55\00:32:06.39
and one of my favorite
places I lived in Hong Kong
00:32:06.42\00:32:11.39
for a bit of time and studying.
00:32:11.43\00:32:13.63
So I really enjoy
different international flavors,
00:32:13.66\00:32:17.43
and it inspires me
to keep an open mind
00:32:17.47\00:32:19.60
and be open to
other things you know,
00:32:19.63\00:32:21.70
and God has really
led me in that way.
00:32:21.74\00:32:23.54
So open mind is
great for everything.
00:32:23.57\00:32:26.34
Well, and so what
we're gonna do now
00:32:26.37\00:32:29.44
is add some
beef style seasoning.
00:32:29.48\00:32:31.51
Okay.
00:32:31.55\00:32:32.88
Right there, pour that over
00:32:32.91\00:32:34.58
and so this
allows the beef to...
00:32:34.62\00:32:36.22
The vegan beef
strips to really take
00:32:36.25\00:32:38.19
on a more meatier taste.
00:32:38.22\00:32:40.22
Gotcha.
00:32:40.26\00:32:42.69
So you put that in there.
00:32:42.72\00:32:46.06
Can you smell that?
00:32:46.09\00:32:47.70
The aroma is incredible.
00:32:47.73\00:32:49.66
Yes.
00:32:49.70\00:32:51.03
Fresh, the spices, there you go.
00:32:51.07\00:32:53.13
All right, so some chili garlic.
00:32:53.17\00:32:54.94
Okay. You can pour that in.
00:32:54.97\00:32:56.30
So we got little more garlic.
00:32:56.34\00:32:57.77
But and this is great.
00:32:57.81\00:32:59.14
It adds a little
bit of spice in there.
00:32:59.17\00:33:00.81
Okay.
00:33:00.84\00:33:03.98
How does that look?
00:33:04.01\00:33:05.35
That looks amazing.
00:33:05.38\00:33:06.85
And now the last thing
you'll add is the coconut milk.
00:33:06.88\00:33:09.42
Coconut milk.
00:33:09.45\00:33:10.79
You can get light coconut milk.
00:33:10.82\00:33:12.15
This gives it a
creamy consistency.
00:33:12.19\00:33:13.99
Yes, and so this is
something we can pour
00:33:14.02\00:33:16.59
over the rice we just made.
00:33:16.62\00:33:18.36
Okay.
00:33:18.39\00:33:22.66
So you just let this cook
00:33:22.70\00:33:24.03
and you allow
the vegan beef strips
00:33:24.07\00:33:26.07
to absorb the sauce.
00:33:26.10\00:33:27.44
You could add
additional water if you like,
00:33:27.47\00:33:28.80
you can pour a little in there.
00:33:28.84\00:33:32.44
That's perfect.
00:33:32.47\00:33:33.84
So you just
allow it to cook down
00:33:33.88\00:33:36.34
and allow the peppers
and the vegan beef strips
00:33:36.38\00:33:40.62
to come together and
have a really nice flavor.
00:33:40.65\00:33:42.85
And long would you
typically want to cook this?
00:33:42.88\00:33:45.92
You can cook this
for about 10-12 minutes.
00:33:45.95\00:33:47.89
It's a nice stir fry
that you can just pour over,
00:33:47.92\00:33:50.93
you know, the rice we just made.
00:33:50.96\00:33:52.73
And aren't you
happy that we have
00:33:52.76\00:33:54.10
a finished dish already?
00:33:54.13\00:33:55.46
We do, and I'm
very happy about that.
00:33:55.50\00:33:57.73
I am too 'cause
I'm gonna taste it.
00:33:57.77\00:33:59.83
So what are we gonna make next?
00:33:59.87\00:34:01.67
Our next recipe
is roasted vegetables
00:34:01.70\00:34:05.77
and for the recipe,
00:34:05.81\00:34:07.24
you will need:
00:34:07.28\00:34:08.61
So I see we have a
lot of vegetables here.
00:34:45.35\00:34:48.35
Yes.
00:34:48.38\00:34:49.72
Typically, I haven't always
been a huge vegetable fan.
00:34:49.75\00:34:52.25
I know it's good for us,
00:34:52.29\00:34:53.62
but I haven't always
been a huge vegetable fan,
00:34:53.66\00:34:56.09
but I've seen you
prepare this dish before.
00:34:56.12\00:34:59.59
It's well seasoned
and I'm looking forward
00:34:59.63\00:35:02.16
to jumping into it, so.
00:35:02.20\00:35:03.53
All right.
00:35:03.57\00:35:05.67
What's the first step? Okay.
00:35:05.70\00:35:07.17
So we have our vegetables,
00:35:07.20\00:35:08.54
you want to make sure
you chop up your zucchini,
00:35:08.57\00:35:11.04
your squash, your
carrots, your onions,
00:35:11.07\00:35:14.04
and now I'm
gonna chop up turnip.
00:35:14.08\00:35:16.51
Okay.
00:35:16.54\00:35:19.98
All right, just
cut down the middle
00:35:20.02\00:35:22.08
and you can put
like thick slices.
00:35:22.12\00:35:24.19
Okay.
00:35:24.22\00:35:27.36
All right.
00:35:27.39\00:35:28.72
So thick slices, all right.
00:35:28.76\00:35:30.09
Yep, thick
slices and if you want,
00:35:30.13\00:35:31.96
you can, you know,
make it a little less thick.
00:35:31.99\00:35:35.50
Okay.
00:35:35.53\00:35:36.87
All right, so we have this
00:35:36.90\00:35:38.23
and what we can do is
you can put this in there.
00:35:38.27\00:35:40.24
In here, okay. All right.
00:35:40.27\00:35:43.64
All right.
00:35:43.67\00:35:47.51
Now...
00:35:47.54\00:35:48.88
I'm not gonna mess with
that knife in your hand.
00:35:48.91\00:35:52.25
Oh, man.
00:35:52.28\00:35:53.62
Okay, so now we
have this and actually,
00:35:53.65\00:35:56.95
I want to start
with the sauce first
00:35:56.99\00:35:58.95
so we'll put the
turnips in after.
00:35:58.99\00:36:00.49
After, okay. Yeah.
00:36:00.52\00:36:01.86
Okay, so we'll put some garlic,
you can put that in there.
00:36:01.89\00:36:07.50
Some olive oil...
00:36:07.53\00:36:08.86
brown sugar or honey,
00:36:12.73\00:36:15.17
Brown sugar or honey, okay.
00:36:15.20\00:36:17.01
Then we'll put some fresh
00:36:21.18\00:36:25.18
or actually dried herbs.
00:36:25.21\00:36:28.12
All right.
00:36:28.15\00:36:29.48
Then we'll cut a lemon.
00:36:29.52\00:36:31.75
We'll use a
little. That citrus flavor.
00:36:31.79\00:36:33.62
Exactly, you get
little lemon juice in there.
00:36:33.66\00:36:36.19
And then if you
like to use additional
00:36:36.22\00:36:38.03
as the recipe calls you
can add a little bit more
00:36:38.06\00:36:42.86
of olive oil or water.
00:36:42.90\00:36:45.23
So you'll mix it together.
00:36:45.27\00:36:46.60
Perfect.
00:36:53.11\00:36:54.88
So now and you can
add a little bit more.
00:36:54.91\00:36:57.98
Little more, all right.
00:36:58.01\00:36:59.35
Then we'll put
our vegetables in.
00:36:59.38\00:37:01.88
Oh, okay.
00:37:01.92\00:37:03.32
Now, we just toss them in this.
00:37:03.35\00:37:08.69
There we go.
00:37:08.72\00:37:10.06
This is an exciting way
to eat vegetables, exciting.
00:37:10.09\00:37:13.70
So I toss that together.
00:37:13.73\00:37:15.80
Now do you want to...
00:37:15.83\00:37:17.17
Do you mix this
typically so that it gets all?
00:37:17.20\00:37:19.97
Okay.
00:37:20.00\00:37:21.34
Yep, we'll just mix it through.
00:37:21.37\00:37:22.70
All right, you can
put those in there.
00:37:27.21\00:37:30.18
Then you will
put your zucchini in.
00:37:30.21\00:37:32.61
Okay.
00:37:32.65\00:37:33.98
Just keep mixing those in. Okay.
00:37:38.95\00:37:40.76
And we'll put some onions.
00:37:40.79\00:37:42.69
One of my favorites.
00:37:42.72\00:37:44.73
Yep, we have it
all well seasoned.
00:37:44.76\00:37:50.23
So are you a huge vegetable fan?
00:37:50.27\00:37:52.83
You know, I like vegetables
when they are seasoned
00:37:52.87\00:37:55.10
and the more that
I eat plant based,
00:37:55.14\00:37:57.34
the more my taste buds change.
00:37:57.37\00:37:58.81
I think when it comes to health,
00:37:58.84\00:38:00.18
it's a lot about
habit and taste buds
00:38:00.21\00:38:02.34
and our taste buds
could literally change
00:38:02.38\00:38:04.81
by our habit.
00:38:04.85\00:38:06.18
So the more that I
have plant based food,
00:38:06.21\00:38:07.95
the more, thank you,
00:38:07.98\00:38:09.45
the more that I really
crave it and, oddly enough,
00:38:09.48\00:38:13.25
I found that
carrots are actually sweet.
00:38:13.29\00:38:15.22
Really?
00:38:15.26\00:38:16.59
Yeah, they're actually sweet.
00:38:16.62\00:38:18.49
So it's a really cool thing,
00:38:18.53\00:38:19.89
we'll start putting
more of that in there.
00:38:19.93\00:38:21.60
So do you see how
it's well seasoned there?
00:38:21.63\00:38:23.26
Yes.
00:38:23.30\00:38:24.63
So what we'll do, we'll go ahead
00:38:24.67\00:38:26.03
and pour this
onto the baking sheet.
00:38:26.07\00:38:28.34
Okay.
00:38:28.37\00:38:30.17
So...
00:38:30.21\00:38:31.54
I can hold the bowl
for you if you want to.
00:38:31.57\00:38:34.18
Teamwork makes the dream work.
00:38:34.21\00:38:35.84
Teamwork does
make the dream work.
00:38:35.88\00:38:37.35
There we go.
00:38:37.38\00:38:38.71
All right. All right.
00:38:38.75\00:38:40.08
And so then I'm gonna top it off
00:38:40.12\00:38:41.45
with a little bit more lemon,
00:38:41.48\00:38:42.82
just to make sure it
brings out the flavors
00:38:42.85\00:38:44.95
and to complement it.
00:38:44.99\00:38:48.06
All right, so now this is ready
to go into the oven in the bit.
00:38:48.09\00:38:50.83
All right.
00:38:50.86\00:38:52.19
And then what do
you want to put this on?
00:38:52.23\00:38:55.03
When you put it in the oven?
00:38:55.06\00:38:56.40
You want to turn it
to about 400 degrees
00:38:56.43\00:38:58.23
depending on your oven.
00:38:58.27\00:38:59.60
Okay.
00:38:59.63\00:39:00.97
So you put that in there.
00:39:01.00\00:39:03.87
There we go.
00:39:03.91\00:39:07.64
All right.
00:39:07.68\00:39:09.84
There we go.
00:39:09.88\00:39:12.58
It's low watt there.
00:39:12.61\00:39:16.18
There we go. Perfect.
00:39:16.22\00:39:17.75
All right, so you let that bake.
00:39:17.79\00:39:19.12
Uh-huh.
00:39:19.15\00:39:20.49
And while that's baking, okay.
00:39:20.52\00:39:21.86
While that's baking we
will start our plantains.
00:39:21.89\00:39:24.26
Okay.
00:39:24.29\00:39:25.63
So we'll go to a
skillet and what we'll do,
00:39:25.66\00:39:29.46
the great part too
00:39:29.50\00:39:31.70
and the best time to
use plantains is when it,
00:39:31.73\00:39:33.77
you see it get a
little bit darker.
00:39:33.80\00:39:35.14
Okay.
00:39:35.17\00:39:36.50
That's when the
sugar is at surface.
00:39:36.54\00:39:37.87
It's still good.
00:39:37.91\00:39:39.24
It is still good.
00:39:39.27\00:39:40.61
Don't be weary about that.
00:39:40.64\00:39:41.98
You can have it either way.
00:39:42.01\00:39:43.35
But for this for a contrast,
00:39:43.38\00:39:46.31
I like it when the sugars
00:39:46.35\00:39:47.68
have gotten a little bit darker.
00:39:47.72\00:39:49.05
So I go ahead and
just cut a little bit
00:39:49.08\00:39:50.42
inside that's
gonna go with our slit
00:39:50.45\00:39:52.29
and I just take the skin off.
00:39:52.32\00:39:55.26
Yeah, peel it like so.
00:39:55.29\00:39:57.73
And if you could,
you can just cut it down.
00:39:57.76\00:40:01.20
Sure.
00:40:01.23\00:40:02.56
Length wise, right there
00:40:02.60\00:40:04.43
and I'll peel this one.
00:40:04.47\00:40:07.97
Okay, there you go.
00:40:08.00\00:40:13.94
Perfect, and I'll
give this one to you too.
00:40:13.98\00:40:16.88
All right. There you go.
00:40:16.91\00:40:18.25
Same thing, cut it in the half.
00:40:18.28\00:40:19.61
Same thing, yep.
00:40:19.65\00:40:20.98
And while you're doing that,
00:40:21.02\00:40:22.35
I'm gonna heat the vegan butter.
00:40:22.38\00:40:25.15
Okay.
00:40:25.19\00:40:26.52
As well as the water
that we will add to this.
00:40:26.55\00:40:29.86
Nice.
00:40:33.73\00:40:35.86
All right.
00:40:35.90\00:40:37.60
So that's perfect,
so you're letting that.
00:40:37.63\00:40:40.27
So you let that
melt a little bit?
00:40:40.30\00:40:42.27
Mm-hmm. Okay.
00:40:42.30\00:40:43.64
And we'll go ahead and put this
and you can cut that in half.
00:40:43.67\00:40:46.91
We'll go ahead and put
the plantains in there,
00:40:46.94\00:40:49.84
and I don't add
any additional sugar
00:40:49.88\00:40:51.61
or anything like that.
00:40:51.65\00:40:52.98
Just have it as is
which is really nice.
00:40:53.01\00:40:54.35
Nice.
00:40:54.38\00:40:55.72
There we go.
00:40:55.75\00:40:59.69
So you let that
melt in there. Perfect.
00:40:59.72\00:41:02.22
I think I messed that up.
00:41:02.26\00:41:03.59
Nope, that's good.
00:41:03.63\00:41:05.46
And then I'll cut
it halfway for you too.
00:41:05.49\00:41:06.90
Yeah, I think they're perfect.
00:41:06.93\00:41:08.30
And then you can
just peal it away.
00:41:08.33\00:41:10.53
Yep.
00:41:10.57\00:41:12.73
All right.
00:41:12.77\00:41:14.30
All right.
00:41:14.34\00:41:16.77
And then I'll
cut it length wise.
00:41:16.81\00:41:18.14
Oops, things are
flying over here.
00:41:18.17\00:41:20.48
That's excited.
00:41:20.51\00:41:21.91
All right, so I'm gonna
add the other pieces to it.
00:41:21.94\00:41:26.78
Let's see.
00:41:26.82\00:41:28.45
Perfect.
00:41:28.48\00:41:30.92
Just that last bottom.
00:41:30.95\00:41:33.12
There we go.
00:41:33.15\00:41:34.72
Yeah, go ahead and
cut that lengthwise.
00:41:34.76\00:41:37.99
Perfect. All right.
00:41:38.03\00:41:41.50
Then all you do is
let this cook down,
00:41:41.53\00:41:43.20
you let your vegetables
bake and that's your recipe.
00:41:43.23\00:41:46.63
So what you want to do,
00:41:46.67\00:41:48.00
you want to brown
it on each side too.
00:41:48.04\00:41:49.80
So you're gonna
let this cook down
00:41:49.84\00:41:51.24
and then you'll flip it
over and cook it on each side.
00:41:51.27\00:41:53.27
Okay.
00:41:53.31\00:41:54.64
And just for a couple
minutes and you're done.
00:41:54.68\00:41:56.58
That's all you need.
00:41:56.61\00:41:57.95
Wow, that's
wonderful. Very simple.
00:41:57.98\00:41:59.81
And yes, as simple as
nutritious, it's delicious.
00:41:59.85\00:42:02.18
Yes.
00:42:02.22\00:42:03.55
And you're good to go.
What are we making next?
00:42:03.59\00:42:05.55
Our next recipe is
pumpkin pot sticker dessert.
00:42:05.59\00:42:11.09
For this you will need:
00:42:11.13\00:42:12.46
Wow, this sounds
like an exciting recipe,
00:42:55.30\00:42:58.64
one that's gonna be flavorful
and have a sweet flavor to it.
00:42:58.67\00:43:02.58
So we've done, you know,
we've had the vegetables,
00:43:02.61\00:43:06.18
we've had a
couple of other dishes,
00:43:06.21\00:43:08.78
but this one is gonna be sweet.
00:43:08.82\00:43:12.55
What do we start with first?
00:43:12.59\00:43:13.92
Dry, wet,
ingredients, which one?
00:43:13.96\00:43:16.26
Good question.
00:43:16.29\00:43:17.63
So we're gonna combine our
wet but first I want to tell you
00:43:17.66\00:43:19.83
why I was really
inspired to do this.
00:43:19.86\00:43:21.56
Okay.
00:43:21.60\00:43:22.93
So in Curacao,
00:43:22.96\00:43:24.30
which is an
absolutely beautiful island,
00:43:24.33\00:43:25.87
there's so, the houses
are painted different colors,
00:43:25.90\00:43:29.07
super beautiful.
00:43:29.10\00:43:30.77
And one of the
things that is famous there
00:43:30.81\00:43:34.21
is essentially
these pumpkin pancakes.
00:43:34.24\00:43:36.51
So what we're doing today
00:43:36.54\00:43:38.48
is we're gonna take this mixture
00:43:38.51\00:43:40.38
and create the feeling similar
00:43:40.42\00:43:43.49
to the pumpkin
pancakes in Curacao,
00:43:43.52\00:43:45.65
and we're gonna
put it in pot stickers
00:43:45.69\00:43:47.26
and put our own
little flavor to it
00:43:47.29\00:43:48.86
but that's what
it's inspired by.
00:43:48.89\00:43:50.73
So we'll go ahead
00:43:50.76\00:43:52.09
and put the wet
ingredients in here.
00:43:52.13\00:43:54.30
So I'll give you this,
00:43:54.33\00:43:55.66
so you can put
the pumpkin in there.
00:43:55.70\00:43:58.23
All right, look at that pumpkin.
00:43:58.27\00:44:02.67
I like pumpkin pie. Do you?
00:44:02.70\00:44:04.64
Yeah, pumpkin
pie is pretty good.
00:44:04.67\00:44:06.71
Yeah, pumpkin's good. All right.
00:44:06.74\00:44:08.18
Then we have some applesauce.
00:44:08.21\00:44:10.61
Okay.
00:44:10.65\00:44:12.01
I'll pour this in.
00:44:12.05\00:44:14.25
Then next, I'll
give you the coconut...
00:44:14.28\00:44:17.02
Oh sorry, the pineapple juice.
00:44:17.05\00:44:18.75
Pineapple juice, all right.
00:44:18.79\00:44:20.26
Perfect.
00:44:20.29\00:44:21.62
More tropical flavor.
00:44:21.66\00:44:23.36
Yep, okay.
00:44:23.39\00:44:25.49
And then I will mix
the dry ingredients.
00:44:25.53\00:44:29.36
Okay.
00:44:29.40\00:44:30.73
Also, can you put some vanilla?
00:44:30.77\00:44:32.80
Vanilla, okay.
00:44:32.83\00:44:34.20
This gives it a nice
flavor, as well as the milk.
00:44:34.24\00:44:37.34
All right, and you
want me to mix this around?
00:44:37.37\00:44:39.57
Yep, you can mix that around.
00:44:39.61\00:44:41.08
Okay.
00:44:41.11\00:44:42.44
And I will take care
of the dry ingredients.
00:44:42.48\00:44:46.41
Can you pass me
that spoon over there?
00:44:46.45\00:44:47.78
I sure can.
00:44:47.82\00:44:49.15
Thank you very
much. You're welcome.
00:44:49.18\00:44:50.99
All right.
00:44:51.02\00:44:52.35
You know, I have
a funny situation
00:44:52.39\00:44:54.36
with applesauce
00:44:54.39\00:44:57.03
when I was
younger, and my cousins,
00:44:57.06\00:45:00.60
I had to two
cousins that were twins.
00:45:00.63\00:45:02.63
Yeah.
00:45:02.66\00:45:04.00
That are twins and my mom,
00:45:04.03\00:45:07.34
she used to always want us
00:45:07.37\00:45:08.97
to get our
nutrients and all that stuff.
00:45:09.00\00:45:11.97
But she had to find
a way to give it to us
00:45:12.01\00:45:13.68
that we would we
would take it in.
00:45:13.71\00:45:16.85
And I remember, you know,
00:45:16.88\00:45:18.38
how applesauce is
supposed to be green?
00:45:18.41\00:45:20.55
Yeah. Ours would be brown.
00:45:20.58\00:45:21.92
Wow.
00:45:21.95\00:45:23.28
Because she would be
opening up capsules of herbs
00:45:23.32\00:45:25.89
and all that stuff or whatever
she was putting in there
00:45:25.92\00:45:28.82
and put it in our applesauce.
00:45:28.86\00:45:30.86
Wow, so you had a
healthy applesauce.
00:45:30.89\00:45:32.76
Yeah, one that I
wasn't too fond of eating.
00:45:32.79\00:45:36.10
But, and it was it was
brown like my, my cousins.
00:45:36.13\00:45:39.90
They call their EV, on
EV and they'd always say
00:45:39.93\00:45:43.74
no, no more applesauce
EV like in that little,
00:45:43.77\00:45:46.47
in their little voice.
00:45:46.51\00:45:48.88
But yeah, now our
applesauce was not green
00:45:48.91\00:45:52.55
in my house growing up.
00:45:52.58\00:45:54.25
Yeah, it's um,
00:45:54.28\00:45:55.62
applesauce is
definitely an acquired taste,
00:45:55.65\00:45:57.45
especially when
you have that going on.
00:45:57.49\00:45:58.95
Yeah.
00:45:58.99\00:46:00.79
I also like applesauce
too when it comes to baking
00:46:00.82\00:46:03.22
because it can give
it a nice consistency.
00:46:03.26\00:46:07.10
So if you making like
vegan or plant based desserts,
00:46:07.13\00:46:10.73
it doesn't have to be so dry,
00:46:10.77\00:46:12.40
so I like
applesauce as a nice binder.
00:46:12.43\00:46:14.37
In that way, it
is mixed in something
00:46:14.40\00:46:16.24
but something little sweet.
00:46:16.27\00:46:17.61
Yeah and flavorful.
00:46:17.64\00:46:18.97
Yeah, so here are
the dry ingredients
00:46:19.01\00:46:21.88
and I wanted to take a
moment and look at this,
00:46:21.91\00:46:23.98
this is ground
flaxseed which is incredible.
00:46:24.01\00:46:26.08
You can put this
in your smoothies,
00:46:26.11\00:46:27.45
I'm adding a little bit in this,
00:46:27.48\00:46:28.82
there's a lot of
health benefits in this.
00:46:28.85\00:46:30.39
Okay.
00:46:30.42\00:46:31.75
It also has fiber
which is great for the body,
00:46:31.79\00:46:33.62
helps cleanse it,
helps to keep you regular,
00:46:33.66\00:46:36.59
it just is really good for you,
00:46:36.62\00:46:38.16
and it's good to
put in your smoothies.
00:46:38.19\00:46:39.53
So I'm gonna put
a little bit of this
00:46:39.56\00:46:41.00
in the dry mix.
00:46:41.03\00:46:42.36
Okay.
00:46:42.40\00:46:43.73
And then what we're gonna do,
00:46:43.77\00:46:45.10
and if you gonna keep stirring,
00:46:45.13\00:46:46.47
I'm gonna pour a
little bit of dry mix
00:46:46.50\00:46:47.84
into this pumpkin mix.
00:46:47.87\00:46:50.14
Nice.
00:46:50.17\00:46:51.81
So this is
gonna make it thicker.
00:46:51.84\00:46:56.44
Of course when
pancakes are made,
00:46:56.48\00:46:59.75
we put a little
bit of baking powder,
00:46:59.78\00:47:01.45
but we don't
necessarily need that for this.
00:47:01.48\00:47:03.08
All right.
00:47:03.12\00:47:04.45
So we'll go ahead and
just keep stirring that in.
00:47:04.49\00:47:07.09
Gotcha.
00:47:07.12\00:47:09.92
You say, well,
let's thicken it up.
00:47:09.96\00:47:11.79
Is this what?
00:47:11.83\00:47:13.16
Yeah, it thickens it up.
00:47:13.19\00:47:14.53
Okay.
00:47:14.56\00:47:15.90
And you can put
additional, let's say flour,
00:47:15.93\00:47:18.63
something in
there if you like to.
00:47:18.67\00:47:20.34
Okay.
00:47:20.37\00:47:21.84
All right.
00:47:21.87\00:47:23.34
Just wanna get that,
00:47:23.37\00:47:24.84
the dry ingredients
mixed in there, real well.
00:47:24.87\00:47:27.68
Perfect.
00:47:27.71\00:47:29.38
Nothing worse than
biting into something
00:47:29.41\00:47:31.91
that's supposed to have
like a liquidity type of thing
00:47:31.95\00:47:35.32
and then tasting some powder.
00:47:35.35\00:47:36.79
Exactly.
Nothing worse than that.
00:47:36.82\00:47:38.15
Yep, but it's good to
mix it thoroughly through.
00:47:38.19\00:47:41.36
So now what we will do
00:47:41.39\00:47:47.43
is take these wonton wrappers.
00:47:47.46\00:47:50.27
So would you
like this plate here?
00:47:50.30\00:47:51.67
Yes. Perfect.
00:47:51.70\00:47:54.27
Okay, so what I'm gonna do
is take the wonton wrappers.
00:47:54.30\00:47:58.81
Okay.
00:47:58.84\00:48:00.78
And lay them out.
00:48:00.81\00:48:04.05
Where can you
find wonton wrappers?
00:48:04.08\00:48:06.31
You can get it
00:48:06.35\00:48:07.88
in just your local grocery store
00:48:07.92\00:48:09.88
in the either vegetarian
aisle, it's refrigerated.
00:48:09.92\00:48:14.26
So normally I'll get it next
00:48:14.29\00:48:16.02
to like the
vegetables or salads,
00:48:16.06\00:48:18.16
it'll be off to the side.
00:48:18.19\00:48:19.53
So it's a nice thing to use
00:48:19.56\00:48:22.96
and you can fill it
with whatever you like.
00:48:23.00\00:48:24.97
Gotcha.
00:48:25.00\00:48:26.33
So I'm gonna just lay these out
00:48:26.37\00:48:29.24
and if you can,
take a dab of that
00:48:29.27\00:48:33.71
and I'll show
with you the first one
00:48:33.74\00:48:35.34
and then you can go
ahead and take this.
00:48:35.38\00:48:37.28
Thank you very much.
00:48:37.31\00:48:38.65
Gonna put a
little just like that.
00:48:38.68\00:48:40.02
Okay.
00:48:40.05\00:48:41.38
So you want maybe
just a little less too.
00:48:41.42\00:48:43.62
Yep, so just a little in there
00:48:43.65\00:48:48.12
and so, yep, you can do that.
00:48:48.16\00:48:50.23
That's perfect. All right.
00:48:50.26\00:48:52.09
Okay.
00:48:52.13\00:48:53.46
And so, you'll keep doing
that and I'll top off each one.
00:48:53.50\00:48:56.93
Each dab that you put
in there with some raisins.
00:48:56.97\00:48:59.37
Okay.
00:48:59.40\00:49:00.84
Oh boy, I got
another story about that
00:49:00.87\00:49:02.77
I might tell you
that at another time.
00:49:02.80\00:49:04.51
Okay. All right.
00:49:04.54\00:49:06.88
I've had some
good food experiences
00:49:06.91\00:49:08.81
and some
horrible food experiences.
00:49:08.84\00:49:12.61
Well, I'm thankful hopefully
today will be a great one.
00:49:12.65\00:49:15.38
Absolutely. It
has been thus far.
00:49:15.42\00:49:17.75
Awesome. Yes.
00:49:17.79\00:49:19.12
So go ahead and put
some raisins in there.
00:49:19.15\00:49:20.56
Okay.
00:49:20.59\00:49:21.92
And then we're gonna take water
00:49:21.96\00:49:23.93
and put on the
edges is essentially
00:49:23.96\00:49:25.46
it creates like a
glue for the wonton.
00:49:25.49\00:49:27.10
Gotcha.
00:49:27.13\00:49:28.46
So I'm gonna put some water,
00:49:28.50\00:49:30.27
brush it on the edges
00:49:30.30\00:49:31.63
and now I'll fold it
over like a triangle.
00:49:31.67\00:49:35.50
All right.
00:49:35.54\00:49:36.87
Then press each side.
00:49:36.91\00:49:38.31
And that's why you don't want
to put too much in there too.
00:49:38.34\00:49:40.54
Exactly. Yep.
00:49:40.58\00:49:42.28
So I'm gonna brush each side
and if you can fold it for me.
00:49:42.31\00:49:45.58
Okay.
00:49:45.61\00:49:46.95
So I'll do like this.
00:49:46.98\00:49:51.12
All right.
00:49:51.15\00:49:52.49
Okay.
00:49:52.52\00:49:53.86
And you just fold it over.
00:49:53.89\00:49:56.22
Like so?
00:49:56.26\00:49:57.59
Yep, perfect.
00:49:57.63\00:50:02.23
All right.
00:50:02.26\00:50:03.60
Oh, okay.
00:50:03.63\00:50:05.50
It's not as
intimidating as it may seem.
00:50:05.53\00:50:08.17
Yep, I like it
because it's a nice dessert.
00:50:08.20\00:50:12.47
It's not too much.
00:50:12.51\00:50:13.84
It's not too sweet
00:50:13.88\00:50:15.21
and you also have pumpkin in it,
00:50:15.24\00:50:16.58
which is great.
00:50:16.61\00:50:17.95
And if possible, I
think a really good,
00:50:17.98\00:50:19.31
a big component for me is,
00:50:19.35\00:50:20.68
you know,
supporting local farmers.
00:50:20.72\00:50:22.55
Okay.
00:50:22.58\00:50:23.92
So if you can get, you know,
00:50:23.95\00:50:25.29
different items
from local farmers,
00:50:25.32\00:50:26.65
that's really good to
help support our academy
00:50:26.69\00:50:28.42
and to support our
fellow brothers and sisters.
00:50:28.46\00:50:30.66
Now, how do you go
about doing that though?
00:50:30.69\00:50:33.33
So for me, it depends
00:50:33.36\00:50:34.70
on the different types
of dishes that I'm making.
00:50:34.73\00:50:36.63
Okay.
00:50:36.67\00:50:38.00
I will sometimes
go to farmers markets
00:50:38.03\00:50:39.83
where a lot of the
different farmers come together
00:50:39.87\00:50:42.64
and I also will go and
call around so for example,
00:50:42.67\00:50:46.04
when I was coming
to different areas,
00:50:46.07\00:50:47.48
I'll call around
and search local farmers
00:50:47.51\00:50:50.25
and see if they have the items.
00:50:50.28\00:50:51.61
It depends on the season.
00:50:51.65\00:50:52.98
So it's really
important to do that.
00:50:53.01\00:50:54.78
I love that.
00:50:54.82\00:50:56.15
Absolutely, okay.
00:50:56.18\00:50:57.52
So I'm almost done with these.
00:50:57.55\00:51:02.22
Perfect, and you
just pressed down
00:51:02.26\00:51:03.59
on the edges and to seal it.
00:51:03.63\00:51:06.06
That's perfect.
00:51:06.09\00:51:07.43
All right, just the last one.
00:51:07.46\00:51:11.23
So while you're
finishing that up,
00:51:11.27\00:51:12.90
I'm just gonna
heat up our skillet.
00:51:12.93\00:51:14.44
Okay.
00:51:14.47\00:51:17.17
All right.
00:51:17.21\00:51:18.54
And we're getting to my
favorite, favorite part,
00:51:18.57\00:51:21.44
which is cooking them
so we can later eat them.
00:51:21.48\00:51:24.11
Yes.
00:51:24.15\00:51:25.48
My favorite part is eating them.
00:51:25.51\00:51:27.15
Yeah, that's one
of my favorites too.
00:51:27.18\00:51:28.88
So, you just put
these in the skillet.
00:51:28.92\00:51:31.75
Okay.
00:51:31.79\00:51:34.22
Perfect.
00:51:34.26\00:51:37.89
This one over
here had a little leak.
00:51:37.93\00:51:40.23
No problem and then, okay.
00:51:40.26\00:51:44.20
Just tighten up
the edges right there.
00:51:44.23\00:51:45.77
It's perfect.
00:51:45.80\00:51:47.87
That one, okay.
There's a lot in there.
00:51:47.90\00:51:49.24
Gotcha, we got no problem.
00:51:49.27\00:51:50.87
Okay. All right.
00:51:50.91\00:51:52.37
So this is gonna cook
down and then you just cook it
00:51:52.41\00:51:56.24
on each side for
a couple minutes.
00:51:56.28\00:51:57.78
If you want it to be
a little bit crispier
00:51:57.81\00:51:59.18
on the outside,
00:51:59.21\00:52:00.55
you could add a very
little bit of olive oil
00:52:00.58\00:52:04.25
or something like that.
00:52:04.29\00:52:06.09
And then you'll dip it
into your favorite vegan sauce
00:52:06.12\00:52:09.82
or dessert sauce.
00:52:09.86\00:52:11.86
So that's our pot stickers.
00:52:11.89\00:52:14.56
Well, lovely. I
can't wait to try those.
00:52:14.60\00:52:18.30
You have a lot going on
00:52:18.33\00:52:20.84
with all of the
different dishes that you make.
00:52:20.87\00:52:23.17
But you're not
just a vegan chef.
00:52:23.20\00:52:26.71
You're into wellness. Yes.
00:52:26.74\00:52:28.11
Wellness is my main motivator.
00:52:28.14\00:52:29.68
And so with Around the
World in 7 Days, with ROCK,
00:52:29.71\00:52:33.25
you really want to
get into the community.
00:52:33.28\00:52:34.98
You want to have a
presence in the community.
00:52:35.02\00:52:37.32
Yes.
00:52:37.35\00:52:38.69
What are you working towards?
00:52:38.72\00:52:40.06
Yes.
00:52:40.09\00:52:41.42
So right now
working towards forming
00:52:41.46\00:52:43.12
a brick and mortar in the city
00:52:43.16\00:52:44.49
where it can really be a place
00:52:44.53\00:52:46.46
that people can
get health information,
00:52:46.49\00:52:49.13
and that we can
really connect with them
00:52:49.16\00:52:51.47
and share pivotal data.
00:52:51.50\00:52:54.57
And I think a
lot of times it comes
00:52:54.60\00:52:56.67
with a lack of
information that we share.
00:52:56.71\00:53:00.11
Like, for example,
00:53:00.14\00:53:01.48
when I went on
this wellness journey,
00:53:01.51\00:53:02.84
I had no idea
00:53:02.88\00:53:04.98
that plant based
food could taste good
00:53:05.01\00:53:07.12
and nor did I realized
the impact it had on the body.
00:53:07.15\00:53:10.09
Since eating a
plant based diet myself,
00:53:10.12\00:53:12.02
I've gained way more energy
00:53:12.05\00:53:15.16
and it has definitely
helped with trimming down
00:53:15.19\00:53:19.03
and it's just important
00:53:19.06\00:53:20.40
to share that
with the community.
00:53:20.43\00:53:21.76
So we're working on
ways to be more accessible.
00:53:21.80\00:53:24.27
And that's what
we're working on right now.
00:53:24.30\00:53:26.23
Nice. Yeah.
00:53:26.27\00:53:27.60
And you deal with
diabetes, you deal with obesity,
00:53:27.64\00:53:29.90
you deal with hypertension,
you deal with all these things?
00:53:29.94\00:53:31.91
What are...
00:53:31.94\00:53:33.27
Did I cover all the things
or are there more or what?
00:53:33.31\00:53:36.51
So we do with
different components
00:53:36.54\00:53:37.88
of wellness and like that,
00:53:37.91\00:53:39.91
so for example,
we do health talks.
00:53:39.95\00:53:42.38
Organizations
will book us for that.
00:53:42.42\00:53:44.82
And we've done
diabetes workshops
00:53:44.85\00:53:47.56
and facilitated
in the Detroit area,
00:53:47.59\00:53:50.73
and we've had really
good feedback from those
00:53:50.76\00:53:53.43
who have attended our events.
00:53:53.46\00:53:56.13
And also we've done
it in the Flint area
00:53:56.16\00:53:58.47
and really
enjoy that experience.
00:53:58.50\00:54:00.44
It's really nice to
really connect with people
00:54:00.47\00:54:03.84
and share information
00:54:03.87\00:54:05.41
and not only that
build friendships and bonds
00:54:05.44\00:54:07.94
over something that's important.
00:54:07.98\00:54:09.44
At the end of the day if
we don't have our health,
00:54:09.48\00:54:12.11
that's really hard to sustain.
00:54:12.15\00:54:13.48
Absolutely, I've
heard that saying
00:54:13.52\00:54:14.85
health is wealth
and that's so true...
00:54:14.88\00:54:16.22
Yes, it is.
00:54:16.25\00:54:17.59
Because if you are wealthy. Yes.
00:54:17.62\00:54:19.22
But you're
unhealthy, you're miserable.
00:54:19.25\00:54:21.76
Exactly.
00:54:21.79\00:54:23.12
You know, money
can't buy happiness,
00:54:23.16\00:54:24.63
money can't buy you health,
00:54:24.66\00:54:28.06
you have to
actively, take an active role
00:54:28.10\00:54:30.70
in taking care of your health.
00:54:30.73\00:54:32.33
Yes.
00:54:32.37\00:54:33.70
And one of the things
that really inspires me
00:54:33.74\00:54:35.64
is living
longer, healthier lives.
00:54:35.67\00:54:38.24
I know there's
someone that I know he's 95
00:54:38.27\00:54:41.11
and he is just a phenomenal.
00:54:41.14\00:54:43.68
He has so much energy,
00:54:43.71\00:54:45.05
he can do so
many different things.
00:54:45.08\00:54:46.41
But at the end of the day,
00:54:46.45\00:54:47.78
it's about eating better
00:54:47.82\00:54:49.15
and really having a
healthier lifestyle.
00:54:49.18\00:54:50.52
Absolutely.
00:54:50.55\00:54:51.89
Well, I want people to know
00:54:51.92\00:54:53.25
how they can get
in touch with you.
00:54:53.29\00:54:54.62
So we're gonna
put up your address
00:54:54.66\00:54:55.99
on the screen right now.
00:54:56.02\00:54:57.36
Sounds good.
00:54:57.39\00:54:58.73
So they can get
in contact with you.
00:54:58.76\00:55:00.10
Okay.

00:55:41.60\00:55:45.91
We made a lot
of delicious dishes
00:55:45.94\00:55:47.91
from around the world today.
00:55:47.94\00:55:50.21
Tell us what we
made? Let's take a look.
00:55:50.25\00:55:51.88
Okay, during our journey,
00:55:51.91\00:55:54.05
we made some
delicious vegetable rice.
00:55:54.08\00:55:57.75
In this rice, it's rich in
and has a creamy consistency.
00:55:57.79\00:56:01.56
There's vegetable broth,
00:56:01.59\00:56:03.06
we also have peas and
onions and garlic in there.
00:56:03.09\00:56:07.93
So it's super flavorful.
00:56:07.96\00:56:09.86
Our next dish that we made
00:56:09.90\00:56:12.27
is our Curacao fusion
tacos which are excellent.
00:56:12.30\00:56:15.77
They have jackfruits, cilantro,
lemon and peanut satay sauce.
00:56:15.80\00:56:20.34
Our next dish is the balti beef
00:56:20.38\00:56:23.28
which goes really
well over the rice.
00:56:23.31\00:56:25.31
And in the balti beef
00:56:25.35\00:56:26.68
we have peppers, onions, garlic,
00:56:26.72\00:56:30.19
and for our next dish,
we did a lentil Indian stew,
00:56:30.22\00:56:35.82
which is really
flavorful, has a mirepoix base.
00:56:35.86\00:56:39.39
We have your
fresh herbs and spices.
00:56:39.43\00:56:42.70
It's great because it has
protease inhibitors in it too.
00:56:42.73\00:56:45.83
And our next dish we had
00:56:45.87\00:56:47.70
was grilled
vegetables along with plantains.
00:56:47.74\00:56:51.81
So these are great sides
00:56:51.84\00:56:53.17
and our final dish are
the pumpkin pot stickers
00:56:53.21\00:56:56.28
with your vegan dip.
00:56:56.31\00:56:57.65
Wow.
00:56:57.68\00:56:59.01
We made a lot of amazing things.
00:56:59.05\00:57:00.85
What is one thing
that you would like
00:57:00.88\00:57:03.05
for our viewers to take away?
00:57:03.08\00:57:05.22
One thing that I would
like our viewers to take away,
00:57:05.25\00:57:07.69
essentially is,
it's never too late
00:57:07.72\00:57:10.49
to take a step towards wellness.
00:57:10.53\00:57:12.29
Holistic wellness
includes the health
00:57:12.33\00:57:14.03
of our mind, body, and spirit.
00:57:14.06\00:57:15.73
So it's never too
late to take that step.
00:57:15.76\00:57:18.27
Absolutely, well we've taken
that step many times today.
00:57:18.30\00:57:21.24
