Really wanted a winter-seasonal vegetable soup + noodles since it’s been consistently cold lately 🥶
~
The recipe I referenced started with dashi powder, however the Asian supermarket I go to (99 Ranch Market — where I found the PSP Somen Noodles & Shimeji) only had bonito-based dashi powder. Luckily, I already had some dashi at home!
~
You know you love Japanese food when you have dashi on deck at all times 😅

I found during the beginning of my plant-based transitions that many international cuisines are inherently vegetarian and vegan-friendly. When searching for vegan dashi, I learned that Kombu & Shiitake were already widely used in Japanese cuisine!
~
Sidenote: The dashi powder in the last side can be found at Walmart or Amazon! Yes, let’s ignore the fact that these noodles are purple 😂

What do you do when you fall off your best self? Do you have a system of recovery?

tbh, this is the first time I’ve cooked for myself in idk how long. like, actually took the time to prepare a meal more substantial than a PB&J 😳

that’s right guys, “mister super healthy plant-based man” 🥷🏾🦸🏾‍♂️ isn’t always “mister super healthy vegan man” 🤷🏾‍♂️— the upside to this reality is that I have created a space for grace and a system to get back on track. Stay tuned for more info 👀

This was adapted from a recipe from “Vegan For Everybody,” the first cookbook I’ve ever purchased, a year into being plant-based. Searching for recipes online can be daunting, so I find that while cookbooks may not have everything, they contained well tested recipes.
