BY ASWIN & KRISHAN KALPOE
FOUNDERS OF THE VEGAN VIBE
In today´s world we have simply less time for
everything but we still ought to make the best out of
everything. Especially when it comes to our food.
Nothing feels better than relaxing on your couch
watching your favorite show after a satisfying and
fulfilling meal. We know, exactly how you feel; how
can you make an awesome vegan meal without
spending hours in the kitchen?
You and I both know, that you can just do a simple
google search; ‘easy vegan cooking hacks’ or ‘simple
vegan recipe hacks’. We thought so as well, but
unfortunately, reality showed otherwise.
We stumbled upon dozens of hacks on different blogs
that instead of simplifying, complicated the process
even more. Furthermore, some hacks were really not
applicable in the day-to-day life. This made us pretty
frustrated as you can imagine.
So we did it better. Much better. We scoured the web
for the best hacks. Then we tested its efficiency and
practicality.
''If it passed our test; we
would add it to our list. If it
didn’t, we’d throw it back to
the junkyard of the internet''
Finally, after hours upon hours of researching and
testing these ‘hacks’, we’re able to confidently present
them to you as hacks that will truly make your life
easier.
We wholeheartedly believe that these hacks work for
every person, irrelevant of their budget, life situation
and cooking experience.
So sit back, relax and absorb the information at your
own pace and of course; start implementing!

How To Make
Vegan Mayo
Vegan mayonnaise is healthier and also cholesterol-free. You
only need 4 ingredients to make this vegan mayo and it’s
ready in just 2 minutes! You only need 4 ingredients to make
this recipe: oil, plant-based milk, 2 TBS apple cider vinegar (or
lemon juice) and sea salt, that’s all! It’s important the milk and
the oil are at a similar temperature, this will be easier to make
the mayonnaise.
Regular blender: Place all the ingredients in the blender,
except the oil and blend for about 5 seconds. Then add the
oil gradually while the blender is going, turned it gradually
from low to high and let it go until thickens.
Immersion blender: combine all the ingredients in the
blender cup, place the immersion blender in, so that way it
sits firmly on the bottom of the cup and pulse until the
mayonnaise emulsify. Once most of the vegan mayo has
emulsified, you can move the blender up and down to
incorporate any oil that is sitting on the top.
You can make it thicker adding more oil or more watery
adding more milk, it’s totally up to you!

How To Replace
Dairy Cheese
Just because you’re vegan, doesn’t automatically mean a life
without cheese. It means a life without cheese that’s produced
through animal-cruelty. However, substituting cheese for plant-
based alternatives is such a challenge. It's hard to find the right
balance of texture and flavor that's totally convincing, but there are
a few tricks that get the job done no problem:
Tofu Cheese: The soft but malleable texture of tofu makes it a
great base for your cheese substitutes. Of course, tofu on its
own doesn't necessarily create the most amazing tasting
cheeses. We recommend experimenting with flavors and spices
to create a convincing cheese alternative that tastes just like real
cheese.
Nutritional Yeast: Sold in a powdered, flaky form, nutritional
yeast is entirely plant-based, and it has a uniquely cheesy flavor.
Cashew Cheese: You read that right - cashew cheese. When
soaked in water, cashews become very soft and flexible, which
means they can easily be blended into a smooth paste. Their
neutral, nutty flavor means they can absorb flavors well. A little
nutritional yeast and some herbs and spices added to these
blended cashews will create a cheesy spread that's hard to resist.

How To Replace
Dairy Butter
Of course you´re going to need a replacement for dairy butter.
Butter is very important in almost any recipe. Fortunately, there are
vegan butter options available, so don´t worry!
Coconut Oil: For cooking, sauteeing, baking, and more, coconut
oil should be in every vegan chef's pantry. It melts easily, so you
can use it for greasing a pan or even just as a 1:1 substitute for
butter in baked goods.
Vegetable Oil: Because vegetable oil is... well, oil, it's hard to use
it for much of anything besides baking. You can use it as a
substitute for melted or softened butter in recipes, but if the
recipe calls for you to "cut in" the butter or just a regular stick of
butter, vegetable oil is probably not your best option.

The Real Gold:

Jackfruit
You can buy jackfruit whole and do the work of breaking it down
yourself or you can buy it with all the work done for you. Jackfruit
can be purchased frozen, dried or canned either in brine (for savory
dishes) or in syrup (for sweet dishes). It is low in calories and is rich
is dietary fiber. Jackfruit contains many vitamins and minerals and
offers numerous health benefits. It’s arguably the best meat
substitute there is right now. The pieces of fruit are stringy on the
inside, and when cooked, their flavor becomes neutral. So this
means that you can incorporate jackfruit in almost any recipe. It can
be eaten raw, but of course it can also be cooked which can take up
to 35 minutes depending on what you want to do with it.
Nonetheless, it’s still an amazing way to hack your vegan lifestyle
with this incredible piece of food.
