I’ll still share videos on IG but would appreciate if you check out the newsletter too :) it’s free 1x per month and then the rest of the month , recipes will be for paid subscribers.

If you want more affordable vegan recipes that are actually easy and fast to make, then subscribe to my newsletter at friendlyveg.substack.com! Starting June 1 I’ll be launching a new variation of the newsletter featuring meals that take less than 20 minutes of effort, cost less than $3 per serving, AND taste good. If this sounds good to you then you’ll want to subscribe! Ingredients - 1 1/2 cups white rice, washed - 2 tsp sesame oil - 3 tsp dark soya sauce - 2 tsp vegetarian oyster sauce - 1 stalk of green onion, sliced thinly - 1/2 pack of medium firm tofu, crumbled, about 225 g - 1 green pepper, sliced thinly - 8 sundried tomatoes, sliced thinly Method 1. Add the washed rice to your rice cooker. 2. Add water: place your fingertip on top of the rice and add water until it reaches your first knuckle. Or, add water up to the line that matches the amount of rice you used. 3. Add the liquids: sesame oil, soya sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce. Mix. 4. Add the green onion, green pepper, sundried tomatoes and tofu and arrange it on the top of the rice so that everything is submerged as much as possible, but make sure it’s on top of the rice! 5. Cook! If you have a fancy rice cooker then use the “mixed” setting. Othewise use the regular setting - you might need to add extra water and recook at the end if that’s the case. 6. Once everything is cooked: mix! 7. To eat this I like to add more soya sauce — you can always add more salt to the rice when cooking it , but you can’t take it away, so this is why I like to add it to taste when I go to eat it. In terms of serving, this lasts me and my partner 1.5 meals. It’s best made fresh , or you can make it ahead and use it for tasty fried rice :) Also I love this Sabrina Carpenter song, it’s so fun! #vegan #whatveganseat #easyvegan #ricecookerrecipe #vegansofinstagram #lazyvegan

maybe you already know this but it was a big revelation to me that using a stove is superior to a microwave when making oatmeal !! Apple Pie Oatmeal Ingredients - 1 apple, diced - 1 tsp vegan butter - 2-3 tsp cinnamon - 1/2 cup oatmeal - 1 - 2 cups water or non dairy milk (use non dairy milk for creaminess) - for topping: peanut butter or sugar I feel kind of pressured to always post amaaaazing recipes since my account has grown recently but I want to keep it simple. I’m just a girl who works a 9-5 who is vegan and wants to eat food that’s nourishing yet cheap yet easy to make.

CAESAR DRESSING RECIPE BELOW 👇 Some people value their time more than money. I see it that way for certain things! I have, at times, hired a cleaner for my apartment. I like to order online rather than go to the store. These things save time. But when it comes to food, I like to cook myself, because: 1. I would rather spend less on food and save more for big purchases (like travel) ✈️ 2. I cook meals that are quick (and usually watch TV or listen to a podcast while cooking), so it feels like a win-win. I’m barely spending any time, and I’m saving money! 3. I like sharing what I cook as a way to encourage you to do the same (and to show how easy it is to be vegan!) ☺️ One of the best ways I save both money & time when cooking is to use my blender. It’s so easy to just dump in my ingredients and blend! If you want more quick & easy vegan recipes, then subscribe to my Substack at friendlyveg.substack.com, where I share recipes and tips on how to navigate life as a vegan 🙏 ~~~~~~~~ CAESAR SALAD DRESSING Ingredients - 8 cloves of garlic - 3/4 cup raw cashews - 3/4 cup water - 1 tbsp brown sugar - 3 tbsp lemon juice - 3 tbps nutritional yeast - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar - 1/2 tsp mustard - 1 tsp salt - 1 tsp black pepper Method: 1. Blend! Makes about 2 cups. It keeps in the fridge for a week. Make this on Sundays as part of your meal prep for the week! My blender is from @froothie btw :) ~~~~~~~ Also I love @arianagrande’s new album so much

But I didn’t film it :) Ingredients - 1 1/2 cups white rice, washed - 2 tsp sesame oil - 2 tbsp light soya sauce - 2 tablespoons vegetarian oyster sauce (link in my bio if you want to buy some!) - 1 tbsp shaoxing cooking wine (can skip if you want) - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 inch ginger, peeled and minced - 1 stalk of green onion, sliced thinly - 1/2 pack medium firm tofu, cubed or cumbled - 1 large carrot, cut into 1 inch long chunks - 1 tomato Method 1. Add the washed rice to your rice cooker. 2. Add water: place your fingertip on top of the rice and add water until it reaches your first knuckle. Or, add water up to the line that matches the amount of rice you used. In this case. Or, annoy your partner by asking them if you added enough water lol 3. Add the liquids: sesame oil, soya sauce, vegetarian oyster sauce, and shaoxing cooking wine if using. Mix. 4. Add the garlic, ginger, green onion, tofu, and carrot and arrange it on the top of the rice so that everything is submerged as much as possible, but make sure it’s on top of the rice! 5. Make a little space in the middle of the rice cooker and plop down your tomato. 6. Cook! If you have a fancy rice cooker (I just bought myself one for my birthday!) then use the “mixed” setting. Othewise use the regular setting - you might need to add extra water and recook at the end if that’s the case. 7. Once everything is cooked: mix! Enjoy squishing your tomato. 8. To eat this I like to add more soya sauce — you can always add more salt to the rice when cooking it , but you can’t take it away, so this

The most important thing to keep in mind : the wedding day is about the couple, not about you! Yes, it’s best if they can provide vegan options for you. But it’s possible that providing vegan options will be difficult for them, depending on the caterer used, cost of ingredients , their budget for the wedding , the culture of the couple, etc. If there’s no vegan food you can still have a good time. Focus on enjoy the celebration of the couple, and have a good time! If you want more pragmatic vegan advice: follow @friendlyveg_ . I’ve been vegan for nearly 12 years but was an ex-vegan at one point. I know first hand how tough being vegan can be. And I know first hand how to make it easy! #vegan #vegantips #howtogovegan #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram

Being vegan in a non vegan spade can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be! Maintaining a positive mindset and framing the experience as something fun can make all the difference.

It’s a common misconception that veganism is a diet. This is my response to a troll who told me this on another platform. I hope my response clears things up. Diet is a huge part of being vegan but it’s not a diet in its own right! #vegan #vegantips #howtogovegan #plantbased #newvegan
