00:00:10.84\00:00:14.18
Welcome to A Taste of Paradise.
00:00:31.33\00:00:33.26
My name is Evita Tezeno
00:00:33.29\00:00:35.20
and I just love
different ethnics foods.
00:00:35.23\00:00:39.60
You know they
have different flavors,
00:00:39.63\00:00:41.64
Mexican, Italian, Greek,
00:00:41.67\00:00:46.24
and one of my favorite is Thai.
00:00:46.27\00:00:48.68
I love Thai food.
00:00:48.71\00:00:51.71
And I'm making
amazing dish for you today.
00:00:51.75\00:00:55.28
And you know,
00:00:55.32\00:00:56.65
I have to invite
people on the set
00:00:56.69\00:00:59.42
to help me out sometimes
and I need a friend today...
00:00:59.45\00:01:04.89
What? Thai, did
I hear Thai food.
00:01:04.93\00:01:07.16
Yes, you did.
00:01:07.20\00:01:08.53
Evita, you're making
some Thai food here today.
00:01:08.56\00:01:10.50
Yes, I am.
00:01:10.53\00:01:11.87
You know, I was just in
Thailand not too long ago.
00:01:11.90\00:01:13.57
Yes. And you know what?
00:01:13.60\00:01:15.07
I'm glad to see
you Nyse Collins.
00:01:15.10\00:01:16.91
Well, you know, I'm trying to
get ready and stuff like that,
00:01:16.94\00:01:20.28
you know, we
have the second show.
00:01:20.31\00:01:21.71
Yeah, okay.
00:01:21.74\00:01:23.08
So excellent so you're
making some Thai food today?
00:01:23.11\00:01:25.91
Yes, I am. Oh, wow, phenomenal.
00:01:25.95\00:01:28.25
I can't wait to
learn a little bit there,
00:01:28.28\00:01:31.45
normally they cook it
up and stuff like that,
00:01:31.49\00:01:33.56
but you're not going
to be doing that today.
00:01:33.59\00:01:34.92
No, it's going to be
raw. Okay. All right.
00:01:34.96\00:01:37.69
It's going to be fresh.
00:01:37.73\00:01:39.09
Fresh, living life fresh. Yes.
00:01:39.13\00:01:41.20
Well, what do you say
if you want to eat it,
00:01:41.23\00:01:42.56
don't heat it or
something like that.
00:01:42.60\00:01:43.93
Yeah. We are
eating without heating.
00:01:43.97\00:01:46.17
Eating without
heating. Now Thai style too.
00:01:46.20\00:01:48.60
Yes, Thai.
00:01:48.64\00:01:49.97
So you're going
to make a nice little
00:01:50.01\00:01:51.51
delicious tasty Thai
recipe without the heat.
00:01:51.54\00:01:54.21
Without the heat.
00:01:54.24\00:01:55.58
Okay, now is that
heat with the pepper
00:01:55.61\00:01:57.25
or heat with the fire?
00:01:57.28\00:01:58.61
With the heat
with the fire. Okay.
00:01:58.65\00:02:00.62
You know, Evita always got
to spice it up a little bit.
00:02:00.65\00:02:02.92
I got to spice it
up just a little bit.
00:02:02.95\00:02:04.95
But, you know
the heat is optional.
00:02:04.99\00:02:06.45
We don't have to have it.
00:02:06.49\00:02:07.82
Okay, good news, good
news. So what is it called or?
00:02:07.86\00:02:11.69
It's called the
Tangled Thai Salad.
00:02:11.73\00:02:14.20
Tangled Thai Salad.
00:02:14.23\00:02:17.93
That's the TTS,
Tangled Thai salad.
00:02:17.97\00:02:20.94
I'm always
trying to do a acronym
00:02:20.97\00:02:22.30
or something like that.
00:02:22.34\00:02:23.67
And I'm sure it's pretty tasty,
00:02:23.71\00:02:25.71
I see you have
all the stuff here
00:02:25.74\00:02:27.08
and I'm sure
everybody wants to learn.
00:02:27.11\00:02:28.44
You see that Thai food is good.
00:02:28.48\00:02:30.35
They always put a
little extra ingredients in it
00:02:30.38\00:02:32.38
and stuff like that.
00:02:32.41\00:02:33.75
When I was there I
was enjoying myself,
00:02:33.78\00:02:35.38
I really enjoyed like the fruits
00:02:35.42\00:02:36.92
and stuff that they offer there.
00:02:36.95\00:02:38.42
And sometimes some of the food
00:02:38.45\00:02:40.06
I couldn't quite eat
'cause you know, it's little,
00:02:40.09\00:02:42.56
they put a
little extra ingredients
00:02:42.59\00:02:43.93
as I mentioned here,
00:02:43.96\00:02:45.29
but now we know you're going
to do something really good
00:02:45.33\00:02:47.00
that will be helpful
and I can definitely enjoy.
00:02:47.03\00:02:49.46
Yes. And we will see how it is.
00:02:49.50\00:02:51.77
So the Tangled
Thai Salad, all right.
00:02:51.80\00:02:54.47
What's the...
Tangled Thai Noodle Salad.
00:02:54.50\00:02:56.44
Tangled Thai Noodle Salad.
00:02:56.47\00:02:57.81
Yeah, we're using
zucchini for the noodles.
00:02:57.84\00:02:59.34
Okay, very nice.
00:02:59.37\00:03:00.71
So not pasta or
something like that.
00:03:00.74\00:03:02.11
No, not pasta,
we're using zucchini.
00:03:02.14\00:03:03.95
Okay, excellent.
00:03:03.98\00:03:05.31
What is that,
you mention something
00:03:05.35\00:03:07.75
you're going to show
us that recipe real quick.
00:03:07.78\00:03:09.25
Yes, we're going to
do the dressing first.
00:03:09.28\00:03:10.89
Okay, very nice. Yeah.
00:03:10.92\00:03:12.55
Tangled Thai
Noodle Salad dressing.
00:03:12.59\00:03:15.62
That is actually
called a what? A Almond Lime.
00:03:15.66\00:03:18.23
Yes, it's a Almond Lime.
You want to read it for me?
00:03:18.26\00:03:20.56
Sure. Yeah.
00:03:20.60\00:03:21.93
We'll go ahead and share that
00:03:21.96\00:03:23.30
'cause I'm going take
some notes while we add it.
00:03:23.33\00:03:24.67
Okay. All you need is:
00:03:24.70\00:03:26.03
Yeah.
00:04:07.04\00:04:08.38
This is the
almond lime dressing.
00:04:08.41\00:04:10.21
Yes.
00:04:10.25\00:04:11.58
I think you had to
and write that actually
00:04:11.61\00:04:12.95
because the dressings
in Thailand is no joke.
00:04:12.98\00:04:15.35
Yes. They're really rich.
00:04:15.38\00:04:18.62
And they're also
very tasty as well.
00:04:18.65\00:04:21.46
So how we're going to make this?
00:04:21.49\00:04:24.03
So all we need
is a blender, yeah?
00:04:24.06\00:04:25.39
All we need is a blender. Okay.
00:04:25.43\00:04:26.93
And we just dump all
the ingredients inside.
00:04:26.96\00:04:29.16
That's it, so we
put all the ingredients,
00:04:29.20\00:04:30.87
you have that oil there...
00:04:30.90\00:04:32.30
Olive oil.
00:04:32.33\00:04:33.67
We have Bragg's. Bragg's.
00:04:33.70\00:04:35.74
Which gives that salty. Okay.
00:04:35.77\00:04:38.07
We have the fresh cilantro. Yes.
00:04:38.11\00:04:39.84
Yes. Garlic cloves.
00:04:39.87\00:04:42.81
Cilantro is
crucial, that nice garlic,
00:04:42.84\00:04:45.18
it's like
garlic is in everything
00:04:45.21\00:04:46.82
when they make it there.
00:04:46.85\00:04:48.18
We have some ginger. Okay.
00:04:48.22\00:04:50.39
That is true, it's
like they go in a kitchen,
00:04:50.42\00:04:52.62
I mean, when
you taste Thai food,
00:04:52.65\00:04:54.49
it's like they
throw ginger in the air,
00:04:54.52\00:04:56.29
it's almost in everything.
00:04:56.32\00:04:57.66
Yeah.
00:04:57.69\00:04:59.03
Ginger is in everything
00:04:59.06\00:05:00.40
and that has some
additional properties as well.
00:05:00.43\00:05:01.76
Yeah, we have lime juice.
00:05:01.80\00:05:03.77
And it's fresh lime
juice, it's not out of bottle.
00:05:03.80\00:05:06.03
Okay, so this is
the real deal here.
00:05:06.07\00:05:08.07
This is the real deal.
00:05:08.10\00:05:09.44
Yeah, this is no
concentrate and all that stuff.
00:05:09.47\00:05:11.24
We got the real thing here,
00:05:11.27\00:05:12.61
so it's going to
take some effort.
00:05:12.64\00:05:13.98
Yeah. But it will be worth it.
00:05:14.01\00:05:16.08
And this is coconut
milk and I made it myself.
00:05:16.11\00:05:19.05
You make coconut milk yourself.
00:05:19.08\00:05:20.42
Yes, I took the
water from a young coconut,
00:05:20.45\00:05:23.42
and the meat
from a young coconut,
00:05:23.45\00:05:25.19
I blend it together.
00:05:25.22\00:05:26.55
There it is... So I
made some coconut milk.
00:05:26.59\00:05:27.92
This is literally
from scratch, all right.
00:05:27.96\00:05:30.03
Exactly.
00:05:30.06\00:05:31.39
So anybody who has
access to the fresh coconut
00:05:31.43\00:05:32.79
or those items there,
00:05:32.83\00:05:35.36
then you can go ahead and
make your own coconut milk.
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.73
Normally when we
think of coconut milk,
00:05:37.77\00:05:39.13
we think of that
nice little can there.
00:05:39.17\00:05:40.97
Exactly.
00:05:41.00\00:05:42.34
And they quite added something
to preserve it and hold it up,
00:05:42.37\00:05:44.57
but now you could it yourself.
00:05:44.61\00:05:45.94
Exactly, exactly. And
this is raw almond butter.
00:05:45.97\00:05:49.14
Now this did come out of a jar.
00:05:49.18\00:05:52.01
But you can even
make that one yourself...
00:05:52.05\00:05:53.38
Yeah, you can.
00:05:53.42\00:05:54.75
You had to have really
powerful blender like this...
00:05:54.78\00:05:56.12
Exactly.
00:05:56.15\00:05:57.49
And some of them
like health food stores
00:05:57.52\00:05:58.85
or the even
health food supermarkets.
00:05:58.89\00:06:00.69
They allow you now to make it,
00:06:00.72\00:06:02.36
they have a little
dispense where you can do
00:06:02.39\00:06:04.36
the freshly grounded
almonds and your own butter,
00:06:04.39\00:06:07.36
freshly grounded
peanuts, you can make your own.
00:06:07.40\00:06:10.17
So I mean these days
00:06:10.20\00:06:11.70
there is no excuse why
we can't do it ourselves.
00:06:11.73\00:06:14.90
Exactly, exactly.
We have our dates.
00:06:14.94\00:06:17.77
Dates, very nice. Yeah.
00:06:17.81\00:06:19.37
And you turn
your head. All right.
00:06:19.41\00:06:22.68
There it is, somebody is
going to spice up the place.
00:06:22.71\00:06:24.28
Got to spice up this place a
little bit with the jalapeno.
00:06:24.31\00:06:27.72
I didn't see
it. I didn't see it.
00:06:27.75\00:06:30.09
But I'll taste it, pray for me.
00:06:30.12\00:06:33.39
And we just go blend it up.
00:06:33.42\00:06:35.46
That's it. No way.
00:06:48.50\00:06:50.51
That's it for the dressing.
00:06:50.54\00:06:51.87
This is serious
00:06:51.91\00:06:53.24
because look how
thicken stuff that is.
00:06:53.27\00:06:55.14
It is thick.
00:06:55.18\00:06:56.51
Let me just take a quick look,
00:06:56.54\00:06:58.01
may be
everybody can see with me.
00:06:58.05\00:06:59.55
That stuff is thick.
00:06:59.58\00:07:01.35
This is literally the
how Thai you know, food is.
00:07:01.38\00:07:04.82
Yes. It's a
thick dressing. Okay.
00:07:04.85\00:07:07.32
Almost Thai food
has thick dressing.
00:07:07.36\00:07:08.92
Okay, I'm going to
put this out of the way.
00:07:08.96\00:07:10.43
Okay, wonderful.
00:07:10.46\00:07:11.93
So we did that there,
00:07:11.96\00:07:13.29
we made this
phenomenal Thai dressing,
00:07:13.33\00:07:15.20
that thing is thick.
00:07:15.23\00:07:16.63
Yeah. It's ready to roll here.
00:07:16.67\00:07:18.00
Yes.
00:07:18.03\00:07:19.37
And we're going to
use it for the salad, uh?
00:07:19.40\00:07:21.04
Yes.
00:07:21.07\00:07:22.40
Okay, so what is
the ingredients here
00:07:22.44\00:07:23.94
for this Tangled Thai Salad?
00:07:23.97\00:07:28.91
Tangled Thai Salad. Show
us the simple ingredients.
00:07:28.94\00:07:31.91
Cilantro.
00:08:00.01\00:08:01.48
Man, we're going to
Mexico, we're going to Thailand.
00:08:01.51\00:08:05.01
You're going all
over the place with this
00:08:05.05\00:08:06.51
and then you had that
napa cabbage and then...
00:08:06.55\00:08:08.78
Yes. And then a jicama.
00:08:08.82\00:08:10.55
Yes. Okay.
00:08:10.59\00:08:11.92
And so I just didn't cut it,
00:08:11.95\00:08:13.99
so I wanted people to
see what a jicama look like.
00:08:14.02\00:08:16.52
Okay.
00:08:16.56\00:08:17.89
And it's like a cross
between apple and a potato.
00:08:17.93\00:08:20.43
Apple and a potato.
00:08:20.46\00:08:22.60
Actually now it sounds like me,
00:08:22.63\00:08:24.03
like an Italian and Trinidadian.
00:08:24.07\00:08:26.23
That thing,
don't know what it is.
00:08:26.27\00:08:28.07
And it's easy to you know,
00:08:28.10\00:08:30.41
you just kind of cut
it off and you peel it.
00:08:30.44\00:08:34.84
Okay. And you
just peel the skin.
00:08:34.88\00:08:36.88
If I wanted to,
00:08:36.91\00:08:38.35
I could even use like a
potato peeler or something.
00:08:38.38\00:08:42.88
Yeah, you can
use the peeler. Okay.
00:08:42.92\00:08:44.79
And you just... So
this is the jicama.
00:08:44.82\00:08:46.29
This is the jicama. Very nice.
00:08:46.32\00:08:48.26
And we're going to cut it into
little just like little strips.
00:08:48.29\00:08:52.93
Okay, very good.
00:08:52.96\00:08:54.33
Definitely you need a
sharp knife for this thing.
00:08:54.36\00:08:56.80
But yeah, you're
right, it looks like a potato,
00:08:56.83\00:08:59.00
look like we're making
some fries right there.
00:08:59.03\00:09:01.64
Potato and an apple, so
they're little sweet there.
00:09:01.67\00:09:05.04
It's a sweet kind of starchy.
00:09:05.07\00:09:08.51
Yeah. Sweet
starchies, the SS, yeah.
00:09:08.54\00:09:12.58
So we got that,
that's the jicama.
00:09:12.61\00:09:15.22
Oh, you know another
thing I used to see the jicama,
00:09:15.25\00:09:17.99
that's when I was like
we going to Mexico as well,
00:09:18.02\00:09:19.95
because they
would take the jicama
00:09:19.99\00:09:21.39
and they'll put like
seasonings on it like lemon,
00:09:21.42\00:09:24.39
and a lot a chili
00:09:24.43\00:09:26.33
and a whole
bunch of other things
00:09:26.36\00:09:27.70
and eat it that way.
00:09:27.73\00:09:29.06
So now we're going
to do a Thai style also.
00:09:29.10\00:09:31.43
So this is great
especially with this dress,
00:09:31.47\00:09:33.77
I want to see how this
dressing is going to bring it
00:09:33.80\00:09:35.60
all together here nicely so...
00:09:35.64\00:09:37.94
Okay, so we got to chop...
00:09:37.97\00:09:39.31
You're chopping it
up kind of really thin
00:09:39.34\00:09:40.98
as you said there.
00:09:41.01\00:09:42.34
Like kind of,
like matchsticks. Okay.
00:09:42.38\00:09:44.35
And we're going to
stick it in the salad,
00:09:44.38\00:09:47.58
put in the salad.
00:09:47.62\00:09:48.95
So that goes along with
the rest of the items here.
00:09:48.98\00:09:50.32
So should I bring,
this is the salad here...
00:09:50.35\00:09:51.75
Yes. So I'll bring that over.
00:09:51.79\00:09:53.12
This is the zucchini
that has been spiralized.
00:09:53.15\00:09:54.92
This is the spiralized,
00:09:54.96\00:09:56.29
everybody know
how to do that by now,
00:09:56.32\00:09:57.66
you have the nice
little cool machine.
00:09:57.69\00:09:59.09
Yes. Yes.
00:09:59.13\00:10:01.10
And you just, you
spin it there, you spin it
00:10:01.13\00:10:03.70
and then you get these
nice little spirals going on.
00:10:03.73\00:10:05.93
Yeah. Then we have the cilantro.
00:10:05.97\00:10:07.30
The cilantro
chopped up. Chopped it up.
00:10:07.34\00:10:09.24
Chop it up, chop
it up. All right.
00:10:09.27\00:10:12.87
Throw that in the salad.
00:10:12.91\00:10:14.24
We have the napa cabbage.
00:10:14.28\00:10:15.64
The cabbage.
00:10:15.68\00:10:17.05
Okay, now napa... Napa cabbage.
00:10:17.08\00:10:19.61
All right. Yeah.
00:10:19.65\00:10:20.98
Everybody got
that, not Napa Valley,
00:10:21.02\00:10:22.78
or maybe it's
Napa Valley cabbage.
00:10:22.82\00:10:24.62
We have the cucumbers. Okay.
00:10:24.65\00:10:27.86
And we have carrots. Carrots.
00:10:27.89\00:10:30.79
Zanahoria for those who
have learned in Spanish here.
00:10:30.83\00:10:34.06
How you said that? Zanahoria.
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.96
Oh, okay. Zanahoria.
00:10:36.00\00:10:37.67
I don't know how
to say it in Thai.
00:10:37.70\00:10:40.00
Maybe I'll do that next time.
00:10:40.04\00:10:41.54
Now... Then we take this.
00:10:41.57\00:10:43.30
This is a thick dressing.
00:10:43.34\00:10:45.07
All right, now we're
going to take the dressing.
00:10:45.11\00:10:47.24
And we got to stick it.
So this is the crucial salad.
00:10:47.28\00:10:49.21
This is, it's pretty good here.
00:10:49.24\00:10:52.35
I can't wait for tasting there.
00:10:52.38\00:10:54.05
So you're making that
salad so you put that,
00:10:54.08\00:10:56.32
now where eventually
we're gonna mix that up, yeah.
00:10:56.35\00:10:58.75
Yeah, we have to mix it up.
00:10:58.79\00:11:00.86
Boy, this is thick.
00:11:00.89\00:11:02.22
Yeah, it's thick a dressing.
00:11:02.26\00:11:03.59
'Cause you wanted to cool
00:11:03.63\00:11:04.96
so you're going to have to
use your hands with this one.
00:11:04.99\00:11:06.73
Okay.
00:11:06.76\00:11:08.10
So you're going to have to
mix that all and properly there.
00:11:08.13\00:11:11.27
Okay.
00:11:11.30\00:11:13.10
So we get that
going, we have the zucchini.
00:11:13.13\00:11:15.20
Zucchini is also very
good for the arteries as well,
00:11:15.24\00:11:18.11
so lot of people
don't quite know about it,
00:11:18.14\00:11:21.38
there with that
pumpkin and all of that
00:11:21.41\00:11:23.11
and all of these are foods that
are very good for the arteries.
00:11:23.14\00:11:26.01
Those seeds, do not
throw those seeds away,
00:11:26.05\00:11:28.02
the seeds is good
for you, all right.
00:11:28.05\00:11:30.22
So go ahead and
find a way to eat that
00:11:30.25\00:11:32.25
or like with pumpkin seeds
you just roast it a little bit.
00:11:32.29\00:11:35.62
But that's also good,
00:11:35.66\00:11:36.99
also to use the pumpkin
seeds zucchini kind of family
00:11:37.03\00:11:39.73
to get rid of
like parasites as well.
00:11:39.76\00:11:42.20
Yeah, right, right.
00:11:42.23\00:11:43.67
So this is good stuff
all in a family to bring
00:11:43.70\00:11:46.50
that nice flexibility to
those arteries and veins.
00:11:46.53\00:11:49.20
So those who are dealing
with maybe high blood pressure,
00:11:49.24\00:11:52.74
cholesterol
issues or those items,
00:11:52.77\00:11:56.91
can enjoy this simple
salad which will be good.
00:11:56.95\00:11:59.31
Now it's really
coming together there.
00:11:59.35\00:12:01.52
I wonder what they'll
use, normally do you use
00:12:01.55\00:12:03.39
probably mayonnaise
or something like that.
00:12:03.42\00:12:04.92
Yeah, some type of...
00:12:04.95\00:12:07.42
But they use coconut.
00:12:07.46\00:12:08.82
They use a coconut. Mm-hmm.
00:12:08.86\00:12:10.56
A coconut base and we have...
00:12:10.59\00:12:11.93
'Cause I have seen that,
00:12:11.96\00:12:13.29
I've seen something similar
not per se just a zucchini
00:12:13.33\00:12:15.86
I think there is
a twist to it. Yes.
00:12:15.90\00:12:17.23
But I've seen they'll
do the salads as well,
00:12:17.27\00:12:19.30
but it's like this
yellowy thing or white thing
00:12:19.33\00:12:22.30
that's on it so, so no problem.
00:12:22.34\00:12:24.41
And then I put
some chopped cashews...
00:12:24.44\00:12:26.21
Chopped cashews. And
usually they toast it.
00:12:26.24\00:12:28.18
They toast them or I've seen
it with the peanuts as well.
00:12:28.21\00:12:31.35
Exactly. Exactly.
00:12:31.38\00:12:32.71
But peanuts are
not really good raw,
00:12:32.75\00:12:34.85
it's not good on the digestion.
00:12:34.88\00:12:36.22
Right, it's little hard,
00:12:36.25\00:12:37.59
so that's why we
use the cashews as well.
00:12:37.62\00:12:39.22
Yeah, so I'm
going to grab a towel.
00:12:39.25\00:12:40.76
So that's pretty much done.
Yes, it's pretty much done.
00:12:40.79\00:12:43.63
So let me help here. Yes.
00:12:43.66\00:12:45.76
Then we're gonna take
that and just whip that up.
00:12:45.79\00:12:49.00
And you all can have now your
00:12:49.03\00:12:52.43
Tangled Thai Salad.
00:12:52.47\00:12:56.07
Tangled Thai Salad. Here it is.
00:12:56.10\00:12:58.51
This thing looks good.
00:12:58.54\00:12:59.87
And if you wanted to
put a little more dressing,
00:12:59.91\00:13:01.44
I can show you can do so,
00:13:01.48\00:13:02.81
you probably add on a
couple of extra blessings there.
00:13:02.84\00:13:05.01
But hey, this is the good stuff.
00:13:05.05\00:13:07.45
This is the good stuff,
00:13:07.48\00:13:08.82
and it will be nice tasty
tangleon and it will be Thai.
00:13:08.85\00:13:12.85
So now you're getting
literally A Taste of Paradise.
00:13:12.89\00:13:16.16
Not only in western hemisphere
00:13:16.19\00:13:18.06
but also all the way
in A Paradise of Asia.
00:13:18.09\00:13:21.80
So lot of people
truly, truly enjoy this.
00:13:21.83\00:13:23.87
So I want to encourage you all
00:13:23.90\00:13:25.50
to get a little taste it
out, hope you got the recipe
00:13:25.53\00:13:28.24
because I'm going to keep
this one for myself, yeah.
00:13:28.27\00:13:30.57
Yes. But you got
to share with me.
00:13:30.61\00:13:32.64
Oh, okay, sorry. Okay.
00:13:32.67\00:13:34.11
There you go.
00:13:34.14\00:13:35.48
So thank you so
much for having me on...
00:13:35.51\00:13:36.85
Yes.
00:13:36.88\00:13:38.21
And I'm glad I got this...
00:13:38.25\00:13:39.58
You know, and I always say this,
00:13:39.61\00:13:41.92
we have to always
remember to live life fresh.
00:13:41.95\00:13:46.72
There you go.
00:13:46.76\00:13:48.19
Five dollar meals
and five minutes or less.
00:13:55.40\00:13:58.23
This is crucial,
00:13:58.27\00:13:59.60
everybody is running
around like crazy these days
00:13:59.63\00:14:02.40
and trying to
keep up and that's why
00:14:02.44\00:14:04.54
this is why fast food
has done so well in the past.
00:14:04.57\00:14:07.68
It's because it's quick and easy
00:14:07.71\00:14:09.41
and at least you get something
to satisfy that hunger.
00:14:09.44\00:14:12.68
However, at the same time
they also say you live a fast,
00:14:12.71\00:14:16.79
if you eat fast food
you live a fast life.
00:14:16.82\00:14:19.45
You're here
today, going tonight.
00:14:19.49\00:14:20.89
We want to eat slow
food and live a long life.
00:14:20.92\00:14:23.36
I believe you all would agree.
00:14:23.39\00:14:25.93
However,
sometimes things you know,
00:14:25.96\00:14:27.96
you just need to have
things going along quickly.
00:14:28.00\00:14:30.40
And so in the VIP room, I
know the very important room,
00:14:30.43\00:14:34.34
the kitchen as you all know,
00:14:34.37\00:14:36.50
I believe we
should take some time,
00:14:36.54\00:14:38.27
however sometimes the
family has to do this,
00:14:38.31\00:14:40.78
this has to happen and
the kids got to go to practice
00:14:40.81\00:14:45.35
or you have to go back to work
or something of that nature.
00:14:45.38\00:14:48.72
So it will be
helpful every now and then
00:14:48.75\00:14:51.22
to have a quick meal
00:14:51.25\00:14:52.79
and a quick cost-effective meal.
00:14:52.82\00:14:54.92
That's why today we're
just trying to continue along
00:14:54.96\00:14:57.19
with some of our other
programs on how we can prepare
00:14:57.23\00:14:59.49
nice five dollar meals
in less than five minutes.
00:14:59.53\00:15:03.03
Now give me a break or so,
00:15:03.06\00:15:04.40
I'm gonna
probably take five or six,
00:15:04.43\00:15:06.13
but I think you all can
do it even faster than me
00:15:06.17\00:15:08.94
but we'll see how
it works out today.
00:15:08.97\00:15:10.54
Today we have
two special recipes
00:15:10.57\00:15:12.74
that are very simple
tasty and the key is,
00:15:12.77\00:15:16.14
you wanted to be fast
00:15:16.18\00:15:17.51
but you wanted to
be nourishing as well.
00:15:17.55\00:15:19.55
So now you all have no excuse
00:15:19.58\00:15:21.35
why you cannot
implement some of these recipes,
00:15:21.38\00:15:24.79
so if I see you out there,
00:15:24.82\00:15:26.42
you'll be able to
say I tried that one.
00:15:26.45\00:15:29.32
So this one is at your request
00:15:29.36\00:15:31.09
five dollar meals in
five minutes or less.
00:15:31.13\00:15:33.33
And here is the
two simple recipes
00:15:33.36\00:15:35.10
that we'll do one at a time.
00:15:35.13\00:15:37.00
It is a Zucchini
and Avocado Sandwich.
00:15:37.03\00:15:41.30
Yes, Zucchini
and Avocado Sandwich.
00:15:41.34\00:15:43.20
We say, Zuchado.
00:15:43.24\00:15:44.87
That's a
combination between the two.
00:15:44.91\00:15:46.54
You have some:
00:15:46.57\00:15:47.91
Of course, you can
make that yourself,
00:16:00.66\00:16:02.32
Evita has taught us
how to do that many times.
00:16:02.36\00:16:04.93
and then of
course, sea salt to taste.
00:16:04.96\00:16:07.66
And then we'll also
going to knock out quickly
00:16:07.70\00:16:09.73
a Three Bean Salad Medley,
00:16:09.76\00:16:12.93
all right we're going
to of course throw in some:
00:16:12.97\00:16:14.74
Or just work with the tortilla
chips if that's all you have.
00:16:30.99\00:16:34.86
So here it is.
00:16:34.89\00:16:36.22
Now in order to
get this thing started,
00:16:36.26\00:16:37.59
you have to be prepared, okay.
00:16:37.63\00:16:39.56
So we chopped up
00:16:39.59\00:16:40.93
and we sliced up
some of those items.
00:16:40.96\00:16:42.30
We're going to
get our grill going,
00:16:42.33\00:16:44.00
because we're going to
grill this up, all right.
00:16:44.03\00:16:47.20
So we're going
to get that going,
00:16:47.24\00:16:48.74
we're just gonna put a tad,
just a tad bit of olive oil.
00:16:48.77\00:16:52.87
Last time I did
it, it was so much oil,
00:16:52.91\00:16:55.34
so just a little
tad to get that going.
00:16:55.38\00:16:58.45
And then we're going to
spread that out around nicely.
00:16:58.48\00:17:03.28
We're going to add,
00:17:03.32\00:17:04.65
we already sliced
up some summer squash,
00:17:04.69\00:17:06.96
some zucchini, this is
very, very good for us,
00:17:06.99\00:17:09.82
and these are very
cheap and cost-effective.
00:17:09.86\00:17:12.99
So we're gonna put that on it
00:17:13.03\00:17:14.36
'cause we're gonna
grill it down a little bit.
00:17:14.40\00:17:16.50
And just till it has that
nice little grill flavor, okay.
00:17:16.53\00:17:19.13
Some people say,
00:17:19.17\00:17:20.50
"Well, can I go out and
put it on the grill, grill.
00:17:20.54\00:17:22.90
I mean, you can
but at the same time
00:17:22.94\00:17:25.37
you're going to have
some smoke flavor to it.
00:17:25.41\00:17:28.54
I know smoke flavor tastes good,
00:17:28.58\00:17:30.35
but as you know
when you burn something
00:17:30.38\00:17:32.95
that becomes like
carcinogenic a little bit,
00:17:32.98\00:17:35.68
so we try our best to
hold off on smoked items,
00:17:35.72\00:17:39.95
even a veggies,
00:17:39.99\00:17:41.32
so some people use what
is known as the foremen,
00:17:41.36\00:17:45.53
you know what I mean,
00:17:45.56\00:17:46.90
there's different grills
and stuff that they can use.
00:17:46.93\00:17:48.50
You decide which one you want,
00:17:48.53\00:17:49.86
however we want to try our
best to avoid smoking items.
00:17:49.90\00:17:53.13
Maybe cancer tastes
good or something like that
00:17:53.17\00:17:55.04
but when you burn something
and it goes into the food
00:17:55.07\00:17:57.77
then that
transfers into you as well.
00:17:57.81\00:17:59.91
So we want to avoid that
00:17:59.94\00:18:01.48
and that's why you just
want to grill it nicely,
00:18:01.51\00:18:03.55
right here on your own stove.
00:18:03.58\00:18:05.31
We're just going
to add a little bit,
00:18:05.35\00:18:07.12
just a little
bit of salt to that,
00:18:07.15\00:18:08.92
so it has that
nice flavor, okay.
00:18:08.95\00:18:13.15
So we get that one going.
00:18:13.19\00:18:14.52
So while this is going
ahead and grilling there for us,
00:18:14.56\00:18:20.36
we also want to get
the other items prepared
00:18:20.40\00:18:22.36
so we have our avocado, okay.
00:18:22.40\00:18:26.53
So we have the avocado there
and just crack that open, okay.
00:18:26.57\00:18:32.31
I know some people go
ahead and do the karate chop,
00:18:32.34\00:18:35.08
I don't recommend that.
00:18:35.11\00:18:36.58
I just want to go
ahead and squeeze it.
00:18:36.61\00:18:38.95
Just squeeze it
there just a tad,
00:18:38.98\00:18:41.15
you follow along with me.
00:18:41.18\00:18:42.52
If you squeeze, it just pops up.
00:18:42.55\00:18:44.39
We don't want
fingers added to the recipe,
00:18:44.42\00:18:46.86
if you know what I mean.
00:18:46.89\00:18:48.22
So just squeeze it just a
tad and then look at this,
00:18:48.26\00:18:52.19
it will roll right
off, so you be gentle,
00:18:52.23\00:18:54.16
it will be gentle to you.
00:18:54.20\00:18:55.70
So I get that going, all right.
00:18:55.73\00:18:58.23
So we have the avocado
and what we're going to do,
00:18:58.27\00:19:01.60
we're just going to go ahead
and slice that nicely there
00:19:01.64\00:19:05.71
'cause that's going
to go in our sandwich.
00:19:05.74\00:19:07.78
This is our zuchado.
00:19:07.81\00:19:10.78
Not only zucchini avocado
but a zuchado sandwich, okay.
00:19:10.81\00:19:17.69
Then we'll pull that out,
00:19:17.72\00:19:19.29
so that's going ahead
and grilling there nicely.
00:19:19.32\00:19:22.42
So this is ready. Ready for me.
00:19:22.46\00:19:25.33
And what I'm going to do now
is I'm just going to flip this.
00:19:25.36\00:19:29.40
You remember I'm
on a time schedule.
00:19:29.43\00:19:31.27
Look at that, so you
should have that nice,
00:19:31.30\00:19:33.17
look at that
beautiful, beautiful,
00:19:33.20\00:19:36.57
and it becomes a little
translucent as you see there.
00:19:36.60\00:19:39.57
Oops, just have to do
it yourself sometimes.
00:19:39.61\00:19:43.58
And let me just turn
that just a little bit there.
00:19:43.61\00:19:47.65
And so now you
have this grill item,
00:19:47.68\00:19:49.52
like I said when it
becomes little translucent
00:19:49.55\00:19:51.72
then it will be ready to roll.
00:19:51.75\00:19:54.52
The thicker it is
the longer it will take,
00:19:54.56\00:19:56.86
so that is rolling there.
00:19:56.89\00:19:58.73
Don't worry don't burn yourself.
00:19:58.76\00:20:01.10
Now while that's getting
ready since I've flipped it,
00:20:01.13\00:20:04.17
I'm just going to add a little,
you keep add a little paprika.
00:20:04.20\00:20:07.54
Gives it a little
color, little more flavor.
00:20:07.57\00:20:09.70
Anybody know what paprika is?
00:20:09.74\00:20:11.97
Some people think they know,
00:20:12.01\00:20:13.64
they think it's
pepper or this or whatever.
00:20:13.68\00:20:15.61
It is actually a
capsicum but the big guy,
00:20:15.64\00:20:20.68
and what am I talking
about paprika is basically,
00:20:20.72\00:20:23.52
let me show you here.
00:20:23.55\00:20:25.12
Red bell pepper but dried,
00:20:25.15\00:20:27.16
dried red bell
pepper is paprika.
00:20:27.19\00:20:30.16
So you guys and gals
can enjoy the paprika.
00:20:30.19\00:20:33.70
Now while this is getting,
00:20:33.73\00:20:36.03
I had to get it
nice and grilled.
00:20:36.06\00:20:38.27
I'm going to go ahead
because I'm trying to do two.
00:20:38.30\00:20:43.37
Yes, two five minute meal
00:20:43.41\00:20:47.18
so you're
preparing for a family,
00:20:47.21\00:20:49.51
this is going to be
the three bean medley.
00:20:49.54\00:20:51.38
So what are some
of the three beans
00:20:51.41\00:20:52.75
we're going to use?
00:20:52.78\00:20:54.12
Don't tell Evita,
I'm using a can item,
00:20:54.15\00:20:55.92
if it's just a
quickest thing, I'm sorry,
00:20:55.95\00:20:58.09
I'll soak the
beans another time,
00:20:58.12\00:21:00.46
but work with it and what
you want to try to do is what?
00:21:00.49\00:21:03.36
You want to drain it out.
00:21:03.39\00:21:04.83
Drain out the
excess liquid there.
00:21:04.86\00:21:06.93
Sometime you even
wash it out as well.
00:21:06.96\00:21:09.03
This is the option, okay.
00:21:09.06\00:21:10.83
But if you're
making it yourself,
00:21:10.87\00:21:12.27
I'm not too concerned...
00:21:12.30\00:21:14.17
I'll tell you this,
I'm not too concerned
00:21:14.20\00:21:15.60
about the sodium in here.
00:21:15.64\00:21:17.24
What I'm concerned
about is the sodium
00:21:17.27\00:21:18.84
that is found in a lot
of pre or processed items.
00:21:18.87\00:21:22.51
I know this has
been prepared for us
00:21:22.54\00:21:23.88
but if you wash it or something,
00:21:23.91\00:21:25.51
you could remove that and
the one that purchase here
00:21:25.55\00:21:27.82
was actually reduced sodium,
this was only like 89 cents.
00:21:27.85\00:21:31.75
And you probably
get a bag for 89 cents
00:21:31.79\00:21:34.16
so if you want
to save even more,
00:21:34.19\00:21:36.12
go ahead and buy the dried ones,
00:21:36.16\00:21:38.33
but if you have
somebody preparing it for you
00:21:38.36\00:21:40.20
a little bit that
is going to cost you.
00:21:40.23\00:21:41.56
So we're going to take,
before I even do that one,
00:21:41.60\00:21:44.33
I want to do corn,
so we also have corn.
00:21:44.37\00:21:48.44
Oh, this used to be my favorite.
00:21:48.47\00:21:49.80
I'll tell you this,
00:21:49.84\00:21:51.17
long time ago when I
used to be in university,
00:21:51.21\00:21:55.41
this is what I
used to live off of,
00:21:55.44\00:21:56.85
literally it was one
of my favorites like corn.
00:21:56.88\00:22:00.75
All right, you
ready for the next part?
00:22:00.78\00:22:02.35
A little bit of salt,
00:22:02.38\00:22:04.82
a little bit of
onion and garlic powder.
00:22:04.85\00:22:10.43
And I will go ahead
and grill that nicely
00:22:10.46\00:22:14.20
and this is what I used
to eat literally everyday.
00:22:14.23\00:22:18.23
Everyday it was my favorite.
00:22:18.27\00:22:19.73
I'm surprised I'm
still able to eat it now,
00:22:19.77\00:22:21.54
because I would think
that I will get tired of it.
00:22:21.57\00:22:23.81
But I used to do the
corn, add some seasonings to it
00:22:23.84\00:22:27.21
and I just used
to sit there and eat.
00:22:27.24\00:22:29.44
Now I wasn't that
broke, but I was on a budget,
00:22:29.48\00:22:31.71
you all know
college student budget.
00:22:31.75\00:22:34.22
Okay, so while that gets going,
00:22:34.25\00:22:37.32
I'm just gonna
double check on this
00:22:37.35\00:22:38.69
and I'm going to add the
rest of my the other beans here.
00:22:38.72\00:22:40.76
'cause we're not doing one
bean, we're doing how many?
00:22:40.79\00:22:43.59
Three beans, okay.
00:22:43.63\00:22:45.13
So you only saw the black bean,
but you can use the red bean
00:22:45.16\00:22:47.70
and you can also
use black beans, okay.
00:22:47.73\00:22:52.67
Cool thing about that is that
it's easy to clean, all right.
00:22:52.70\00:22:55.74
But make sure you recycle,
we don't want any problems,
00:22:55.77\00:22:58.47
we want to be a
green, green, green people.
00:22:58.51\00:23:01.58
So you add a little bit of that,
00:23:01.61\00:23:02.94
you can also I know it's
not in recipe but you can add
00:23:02.98\00:23:05.28
even a little bit
of nutritional yeast,
00:23:05.31\00:23:06.75
you get your
vitamin B, B12 from there.
00:23:06.78\00:23:10.09
Look how beautiful that
is already, so check it out.
00:23:10.12\00:23:13.02
Let me check on.
00:23:13.05\00:23:14.52
Oh, I'm getting
little toasty here.
00:23:14.56\00:23:18.73
Oops, I made a mess.
00:23:18.76\00:23:21.93
These are pretty much done.
00:23:21.96\00:23:23.60
You don't want to go
ahead and burn these now.
00:23:23.63\00:23:26.27
So we have that
ready, that's all.
00:23:26.30\00:23:30.61
And then my bean medley
00:23:30.64\00:23:32.14
so while my three bean
medley is getting ready,
00:23:32.17\00:23:35.34
I'm just going to go
ahead and grab some bread here.
00:23:35.38\00:23:39.55
All right, here is some bread.
00:23:39.58\00:23:43.05
I'm going to bring that over.
00:23:43.08\00:23:44.72
Do you know you can
even grill your bread?
00:23:44.75\00:23:47.22
Watch this, I'm going to
take all of my grilled items,
00:23:47.26\00:23:49.69
I'm going to move
that off a little bit.
00:23:49.72\00:23:51.43
Now while this is still hot,
00:23:51.46\00:23:52.79
I can even put
my bread on there.
00:23:52.83\00:23:55.23
Man, this is how we
used to make some sandwiches
00:23:55.26\00:23:58.47
back in the days.
00:23:58.50\00:23:59.83
I don't know if
you're ready for this.
00:23:59.87\00:24:01.20
We used to put some cheese
and all of the other stuff
00:24:01.24\00:24:03.61
but now we have better
option so we're going to get
00:24:03.64\00:24:05.44
A Taste of Paradise and
cook little more healthy
00:24:05.47\00:24:09.51
than we used to, okay.
00:24:09.54\00:24:10.88
So I'm going to take this bread,
00:24:10.91\00:24:12.58
I'm going to put
that here to the side.
00:24:12.61\00:24:14.88
So hope you all
can follow with me,
00:24:14.92\00:24:16.25
let me just clean up.
00:24:16.28\00:24:18.02
I'm going to take now
some of my vegan mayo.
00:24:18.05\00:24:22.79
You all learn how to make that
or aioli some people call it.
00:24:22.82\00:24:26.46
And put that nicely on my bread.
00:24:26.49\00:24:29.50
And this is real easy,
all you need is like soy milk
00:24:29.53\00:24:32.73
or any kind of like
healthy milk option,
00:24:32.77\00:24:36.04
and little bit of
oil, little bit of salt.
00:24:36.07\00:24:38.14
And then you have that there,
00:24:38.17\00:24:39.91
I'm going to lay some
of my grilled zucchini
00:24:39.94\00:24:45.68
and summer squash,
00:24:45.71\00:24:47.05
I'm going to make
literally a burger out of this.
00:24:47.08\00:24:49.58
Put that there and one
more slice right there.
00:24:49.62\00:24:52.25
Hello, guys move over.
00:24:52.29\00:24:54.26
Okay, then I'm
going to take my avocado.
00:24:54.29\00:24:56.86
And I'm going to put
that on there as well.
00:24:59.89\00:25:02.50
So as you all notice,
00:25:02.53\00:25:04.10
you all are
getting a bird's eye view
00:25:04.13\00:25:05.97
and to have
Nyse Collins eat out.
00:25:06.00\00:25:08.20
Literally, this is what I do,
00:25:08.24\00:25:10.31
I make it very
simple, very easy.
00:25:10.34\00:25:12.97
Add a little bit
of extra salt there.
00:25:13.01\00:25:15.64
And if you want you can
even put some onions on it,
00:25:15.68\00:25:20.25
you can even use garlic.
00:25:20.28\00:25:22.12
I mean, you decide
what you want to do.
00:25:22.15\00:25:24.95
And let me see if
I have some tomato.
00:25:24.99\00:25:29.32
Just picked it off a vine,
00:25:29.36\00:25:31.13
fresh vine
picked tomatoes there.
00:25:31.16\00:25:34.23
Of course, I rinsed all of these
00:25:34.26\00:25:36.30
and I just take a
little bit of tomatoes,
00:25:36.33\00:25:39.37
I put about two or
three slices on there.
00:25:39.40\00:25:42.90
I'm telling this is how simple,
00:25:42.94\00:25:44.57
how easy it is to make
these items and then voila.
00:25:44.61\00:25:48.44
Like I said if you want
to put onions and stuff,
00:25:48.48\00:25:50.68
you can do so.
00:25:50.71\00:25:52.05
And let me just go ahead
and cut that for us here.
00:25:52.08\00:25:55.55
So I have that
sandwich ready and to go.
00:25:55.58\00:25:58.85
Now I got to finish
up my three bean medley.
00:25:58.89\00:26:02.16
So I'm going to
put this to the side.
00:26:02.19\00:26:04.16
I should have another one
here, just nice and pretty.
00:26:04.19\00:26:07.63
It is my three bean medley
00:26:07.66\00:26:09.20
basically while I'm
going to take that out,
00:26:09.23\00:26:11.97
I'm going to pour
that into a big bowl there.
00:26:12.00\00:26:16.71
You can let that cool
down a little bit if you want.
00:26:16.74\00:26:20.41
I enjoy my items a little hot.
00:26:20.44\00:26:25.11
But what we're going to
do that really makes it nice
00:26:25.15\00:26:27.05
is we're going to take
some onion and some tomatoes,
00:26:27.08\00:26:30.69
and we're going to
pour that in there,
00:26:30.72\00:26:32.05
it kind of sautes it
nicely there for you.
00:26:32.09\00:26:35.82
But just with that
natural heat from the stove,
00:26:35.86\00:26:38.63
we're going to mix that
