Hey guys, greetings from my kitchen!
I know a lot of us are confined to our homes right now
because of the ongoing situation in the world
and I want to tell you that I'm with you in strength and spirit.
I've been home for the past two weeks
just working from home, working out at home.
I think I've only left my house maybe about two times just to get groceries
because I was severely low on fruits and vegetables.
I've also noticed that staying at home has encouraged
a lot of people to start cooking more
so I thought that today I show you a couple
of nutritious meals that I personally whipped up myself.
Most of my meals require no more than five ingredients
so they're super easy to make
and without further ado, let's get cooking!
This is my Asian Savoury Breakfast Oats recipe.
I like having it as a hearty breakfast but you can eat it
at any time of the day really.
To make this, you will need 1/2 a cup of rolled oats,
one handful of green spinach, half a carrot, 2 to 3 shiitake mushrooms.
100g of silken tofu for protein or you can use an egg
or leftover meats for a non vegan option.
Some garlic powder and white pepper for seasoning.
Start by preparing your fresh vegetables.
I'm gonna slice my spinach and cut my carrots into cubes.
Please do not judge my vegetable cutting.
I know I am not the best but I try.
I'm also gonna remove the stalk of the shiitake mushroom and chop them up.
Finally, cut the silken tofu into cubes.
Bring about a cup and a half of water to boil
and add rolled oats and chopped carrots.
Let it simmer for five minutes.
Add all your remaining ingredients and cook at medium heat for another 5 minutes
and you'll see that it comes together in a nice porridge like consistency.
After I plate the cooked oats, I usually add garlic powder and white pepper for flavour.
This is such a wholesome and heartwarming meal that is
packed with nutrition, different textures
and I especially love the sweetness that the carrots bring to the dish.
This recipe is really versatile as you can
add whatever is available in your fridge to your liking.
I usually keep my dinners light
and I've had a recent obsession with soupy food so I'm gonna show you
how to do my tomato egg drop noodle soup.
This is a relatively low calorie, comforting meal that is super nutritious.
It's also a great recipe for you to finish any leftover veggies you have.
For this, you'll need one serving of a preferred noodles.
I usually like using low-carb gluten free noodles like shirataki noodles or beehoon
but the supermarket was out of them so I'll use buckwheat noodles or soba instead.
I'm also gonna use some chicken stock, bok choy, one clove of garlic,
low-sodium soy sauce, two small tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil and one egg.
In your pan, heat up extra virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Then stir fry the minced garlic for about 30 seconds.
Add in the tomatoes and stir fry until the tomatoes start to soften.
Then add your vegetables, chicken stock and low-sodium soy sauce.
Cover the pot and let it simmer for 45 minutes on medium heat.
Prepare your noodles according to the instructions on the packaging.
But I like my noodles springy so I only cook them for about 3 to 5 minutes.
Then beat the egg and add it to the simmering broth.
Turn up the heat to cook the egg just a touch longer and it's done.
Transfer your cooked noodles and soup into a bowl
and get ready for some slurpy goodness.
This is such a comforting dish and if you love light soupy meals like me,
you have to try this.
These are my go-to sweet potato fries.
This is super easy to make.
You can use any kind of potatoes you have
but I love Japanese sweet potatoes so I'm gonna use that.
Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees celsius and while it's heating up,
chop up your sweet potato into sticks.
I'm really not a chef so I'm just doing this to the best of my abilities.
Line your baking tray with aluminum foil and lay the sweet potato sticks.
Make sure they're not overlapping each other.
Then, add your seasoning.
You can use anything from Italian herbs, cajun, curry powder,
but here I am using cayenne pepper.
Using dried or powdered seasoning is in my
opinion the best way to add flavour to your food without adding any extra
calories or sugars from bottled sauces.
Let the sweet potato fries bake for 10 minutes until crisp and you are done.
If you don't have an oven you can always cook this on a pan or an air fryer if you have one.
Sweet potatoes are packed with essential vitamins
which makes this dish a perfect savoury snack.
Before you call for fast food delivery, give this a try!
