Vegan Family Living Podcast Show 18
Written by LaTara Ham-Ying on January 27, 2008 at January 27th, 2008
I am often asked about different ingredients used in vegan cooking. So this week I am sharing a bit on information on 5 items that are used in vegan cooking. You will learn more about nutritional yeast, tempeh, seitan, miso, and I have provided a link to the show we did on tofu so that you can learn even more about how it’s used. Each week hereafter we will provide a segment where we will give you a word of the week, its meaning and an idea on how to use it in your vegan cooking.
Enjoy the show and remember we would love to hear from you. You can comment here, call into the VFL Listener?s Line at (214) 615-6505 ext 6746 or fill out our Contact Form.
Resources Mentioned in This Week’s Show
Simple Cheese Sauce
Ingredients
3 cups of soy or other vegan alternative milk
2 tbsp vegan butter
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tbsp brewer yeast
1 tsp liquid smoke (optional - I wanted a smoked cheese taste and so I added smoke)
2 tbsp garlic powder
Ener-g Egg Replacer equivalent of 2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp tapioca starch
sea salt to taste
Directions
Put all ingredients except for the egg replacer, the tapioca, and the sea salt in blender. Blender on high for about 3 minutes. Add egg replacer and tapioca starch and blend for an additional 2 minutes. Taste a little, add salt to taste if desired, and blend again for an additional 1 minute. Let sit for 10 to 15 minutes or until it begins to thicken.
You can use this sauce to make macaroni and cheese or you can poor it over vegetables, mix it with a pot of brown rice. It is a versatile sauce and will thicken like a real cheese sauce as it sits or if baked with other ingredients in the oven.
