I’m a big, BIG fan of Kung Pao tempeh & tofu. You?! 🙌

So, I figured why not spread the love by making Kung Pao Drizzle Sauce to transform practically anything into a kung pao inspired dish. 💚 It’s really easy to make. And it’s got big, BIG taste! 😋

Here’s the recipe 👇🏼 or grab link in bio. 👆🏼

Kung Pao Drizzle Sauce
Makes 2 servings, 2 Tbsp each

* 3 Tbsp tart cherry juice or freshly squeezed orange juice
* 1 Tbsp tamari (soy sauce) or coconut aminos
* 2 tsp coconut nectar or date syrup
* 2 tsp natural hoisin sauce
* 1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
* 1 1/2 tsp rice vinegar
* 1 tsp natural Asian chili-garlic sauce or sriracha, or to taste
* 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger root

1️⃣ Whisk together all ingredients. Bring to a full boil in a small saucepan over high. Then reduce heat to medium & simmer until desired consistency, ~2 1/2 min. Note: Sauce thickens slightly as it cools.
2️⃣ Drizzle onto/into anything you wish, like grilled or roasted veggies, tofu, steamed rice, noodles & vegetarian sandwiches. #mmm

Plant-Based Chickpea Eggs

I started making this vibrant sesame carrot salad

I started making this vibrant sesame carrot salad when I had leftover carrot scraps 🥕 from prep of my vegan carrot hot dogs. 🌭 When I made it for others, they often told me it deserved a starring role, not just something to be served as an afterthought. 💫 I totally agree! So, here’s the official (yummy!) recipe. 😋 And don’t worry, you don’t need to make the vegan carrot hot dogs first … unless, of course, you want to!

🥗 Recipe link in bio – or check it out below!

1 1/2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 tsp sea salt and/or naturally-brewed soy sauce, to taste
1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
