sauce for rice paper wraps:
1/2 orange juice
1 tbsp soya sauce
1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
sriracha to taste
2 tbsp PB

Tomato Sauce:
1 small onion
4 cloves garlic
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp crushed rosemary ( I crush mine in a mortar and pestle )
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
2 bay leaves ( optional )
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar ( optional )
1 - 2 tsp salt ( season to taste )
1 tsp black pepper ( or to taste )
1/2 tsp chilli flakes ( or to taste )

- dice onion small and mince garlic. Heat a large pan on low-medium heat and add olive oil. Once hot, add onion and garlic. Cook until they turn translucent and slightly brown.
- Add crushed rosemary, oregano, basil, salt, pepper and chilli flakes to the pan and allow them to warm up for 30-45 seconds. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves and balsamic vinegar. Turn on low heat and cook for at least 15 minutes. But I would ( and did ) go for an hour.
- serve with whatever pasta your heart desires!

Oat milk:
4 cups ice cold water ( put water in the freezer for 20-30 min )
1 cup rolled oats
1 tbsp maple syrup ( more if you desire - or none )

- put everything in a blender and blend for about 20-30 seconds. Run through a nut milk bag, but don't squeeze it!

- Lasts in the fridge for 4-6 days
- Using ice cold water and a nut milk bag are the most important aspects to this recipe. A cheese cloth simply won’t cut it for oat milk. You can find an inexpensive nut milk bag on amazon and I highly suggest getting one!
- Home made oat milk is not great heated up ( think about when you make oats and how they get sticky, slimy and thick ) so this is a great recipe for cold brew, cereal, smoothies, protein shakes...
- Store bought oat milk has gums and fillers and that’s why you are able to heat them. This is why I'm experimenting with enzymes!

Crispy tofu:
1 block firm or extra firm tofu
1 tbsp flour of choice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp bread crumbs ( sub for more flour )

- pre-heat oven at 400F
- cube your tofu into desired size and place into a bowl
- add flour, salt and bread crumbs then mix until the tofu is coated. Drizzle on oil and toss again.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until slightly golden. Without moving or flipping the tofu, turn the oven on broil for 3-5 minutes or until the tops of the tofu are golden brown.
- serve!

sauce for the rice veggie bowl:
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp soya sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar ( sub lime juice )
1 heaping tbsp red miso paste
1 tbsp PB
1/2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp sriracha ( or to taste )
Splash of water, if needed!

Thank you Athletic Greens for partnering with me on this video!
