Hello friends and not yet friends!
Welcome back to another What I Ate Wednesday, the weekly show where I share all my tasty
vegan eats in a day.
And special warm welcome to all my new friends who found us through the Boston Cream Doughnuts
recipe!
Have you tried it yet?
Let me know what you thought in the comments below.
The OG's know my days usually start with tea or a smoothie or something like that but I
got sent an Avalon Bay Air Fryer a couple weeks ago and woke up just needing to make
something in it.
Before this, I had heard the air fryer hype and wasn't super convinced but long story
short, I'm obsessed now.
So this morning, I'm cooking up a big batch of Five Spice Tofu to go on my breakfast congee,
among other things.
On the last last What I Ate, I showed you how I get my tofu quite dry so it can fry
easily without oil spitting at you.
This is another method.
This extra firm tofu has already been drained and patted with a dry towel and now I'm just
crumbling it into chunks into another clean dry towel.
And then, squeeze!
Pretty simple but effective.
Since the tofu no longer has this water in it, there's more room for our marinade to
soak in.
I basically took the jackfruit bao marinade and doubled it for this amount of tofu.
Except for the oil.
When you're air frying, generally, you don't need as much to get things crispy!
I gave the air fryer basket a little oil spray and then in goes the tofu.
Set the timer and away we go.
I left the recipe link, temperature and timing instructions in the video description if you
want to try this too.
You can do this in a regular oven if you wanted, but the air fryer seems to do it faster.
And doesn't heat up my whole condo like the oven seems to.
Plus there's no need for parchment paper and spreading out tofu...it's just easier this
way!
And you guys know, especially with my tendonitis issues, I need things to be easier!
And now we have tasty, chewy tofu bitsies with little crispy edges.
So delicious.
But that's just the topping for my breakfast congee.
Today's congee is made with leftover coconut turmeric rice; hence the yellow colour.
On goes the five spice tofu.
Scallions.
Some of my homemade kimchi...made a bit less spicy than usual so it's not as red as usual.
Nori bitsies.
And some sweet pickled carrots.
Now that's insta worthy.
But is it nom-worthy?
So much yes.
That five spice marinade is my current fave.
Cinnamon, anise, sweet maple syrup, tangy black vinegar.
Yup, now I remember why I used to have congee for breakfast all the time.
It's so good.
And good for you.
Later, I made kale chips.
Which is like super ordinary vegan food right?
But I still love it.
The problem with making kale chips is either it takes forever in the dehydrator or they
bake unevenly in the oven and you have to keep fishing out the chips that are ready
and leaving in ones that are still soggy.
It's a bit annoying to be honest.
Not a problem with the air fryer.
After washing and drying the kale, adding a bit of oil and flavourings, you can just
add the kale to the basket in batches.
Set the timer, live your life, then ding!
Perfect crispy kale chips.
No more trays with burnt chips and soggy kale in the same batch.
I've found it is better not to overload the basket though.
Not a problem since each batch goes for 4 or 5 minutes and you can just dump them and
do a new load in seconds.
And this is how I'm eating way more greens than ever before.
Let's just say, my digestion has been super A++ as a result.
But did you think I'd skip my smoothie?
Not a chance.
I smoothie for health reasons.
I feel like the extra protein in my day really helps with my repetive strain issues.
Also, I restocked on chocolate nutrition powder.
So yay chocolate.
Just a bit healthier source of chocolate than my Boston Cream doughnuts.
Which, by the way, I'm so impressed that so many people have made it already and sent
me their pictures, both on instagram and privately through facebook or email!
Keep them coming, friends!
I love seeing it when you make my recipes.
I can't even properly describe how happy you make me feel.
You know what else is a happy feeling?
The crunch of the super crunchy tater tots.
No, this is not the usual type of dinner, but I had to try out tater tots in my new
air fryer on camera....for you!
Nevermind that I've tried them already a few times and maybe I'm making excuses to have
air fried tater tots again because I can't get over how much better they are in the air
fryer versus the oven.
But my boyfriend suggested Tater Tot Nachos so how could I say no?
First, put them frozen tater tots in the air fryer.
Set the timer for 20 minutes.
I've seen online instructions for less time but I need super duper crunchiest of the crunchy
tater tots for my otherwise potato hating boyfriend.
Yes, what kind of monster hates potatoes?
But I swear, he has other redeeming qualities.
Meanwhile, prep your toppings.
I'm cooking some potatoes and carrots.
Now I've tried a few different potato and carrot cheese recipes and most have been alright
but they taste like carrots and potatoes.
Which wouldn't be such a big problem, except I hate the taste of boiled carrots and my
boyfriend hates the taste of potatoes; unless super crispy as aforementioned.
But I finally tried Hot for Food's Nacho cheese sauce.
It's much more than the usual carrots, potatoes, nooch and apple cider vinegar type jam.
I know, I know.
A bunch of you already tried this before and know all about it and even told me to try
it and I've been late on the nacho cheese train.
Anyways, I will totally eat boiled carrots like this.
As long as it tastes as good as this delicious vegan nacho cheese sauce.
And it's so quick to make too.
When your tater tots are as crunchy as you want them, lay them out on a plate; I'm using
parchment paper for easy clean up later.
Since I want the tots to stay as crispy as possible too, I'm making space for some of
the wetter toppings.
Which include some leftover bean vindaloo.
Salsa.
Nacho cheese sauce.
Scallions.
And cilantro.
And more nacho cheese sauce.
Because I couldn't resist.
And a bit more green on top; mostly for the instagram pictures.
And that was dinner.
Those crunchy tater tots, salsa, spicy vindaloo, zesty cheese sauce, and fresh scallions and
cilantro.
It was so good.
Not exactly a balanced dinner, more of a treat, but so worth it!
I have since tried more healthy things in the air fryer, like roasted cauliflower, roasted
peppers and that sort of thing which have been bomb, but this has probably been the
most fun thing I've made yet.
Well...not counting the air fried donuts.
So if you want to check out my air fryer, linky in the description along with a coupon
code.
You're welcome.
And if you are already on the air fryer train, let me know what you've been making in there!
I'd love to try even more.
Thanks so much for watching, friends.
Please give this video a thumbs up if you liked it and share it, especially with your
air frying friends.
Plus subscribe if you haven't already and turn on notifications so you never miss a
thing.
I hope you're into pumpkin because there will be awesome pumpkiny things soon!
Bye for now!
