ULTIMATE Mango Oatmeal

It's mango season in here so I've been eating a lot of mangos! (which makes me really happy <3) Well, mangos are available all year long here, however, they taste BEST (more sweet & juicy) on certain months. So, definitely taking advantage of that! :p

I make oats everyday because: 1. they're super quick & easy to cook, and 2. they taste awesome.

After quite a lot of mango oatmeal bowls, I finally came up with my ULTIMATE favourite recipe! Do give it a try, because it's sooooo gooddddd!!!

EASY Vegan Indonesian Peanut Sauce

Indonesian peanut sauce is probably my favourite part of all Indonesian cuisine!

Traditionally used in various dishes, from dipping satay- to salad dressing. It's incredibly versatile! My favourite way to use it is to drizzle (more like pour lol) it on top of my 'fried rice', or use it to dip in some baked tofu/tempeh or even potato chips!

The traditional way to make it is to grind the peanuts together with the other ingredients to form a paste using a mortar & pestle first, but my version is a simplified one hehe :p

If you like peanut butter, I'm 100% sure that you'll love this recipe! Give it a try and let me know what you think! ;)

Spicy Asian FIRE Roasted Tofu

I hope I succeeded in making you hungry with this…

How good does that look omg? A PILE of rice (its red rice btw), stir-fried veggies, with the star of the show: Spicy Asian Fire Roasted Tofu. That's right, mmm, tofu never looked (and tasted) this good!

You can make it more/less spicy by adjusting the hot sauce (see recipe below), but I urge you to challenge yourself! At least don't reduce the amount of hot sauce written, and you can use more if you're brave! :p I like to use either Gochujang (Korean) or Sriracha (Thai) for my hot sauce!

Also, this is just for 1 serving as a side dish, feel free to make more to share/as a main! ;)

Vegan MAPLE CHAI LATTE Oats

Chai Latte (with soy milk, of course) is one of my favourite things to order at Starbucks!

Sweet, creamy, with all the delicious flavour & aroma from the spices, mmm tasty! So I decided to recreate that in a bowl of oats, because, why not?

Chai Latte for breakfast in the form of oatmeal, delicious I say! <3

EASY Vegan Potato & Chickpea Curry

I haven't made curry in quite a while, so glad I did today!

A HUGE bowl of delicious curry with freshly steamed rice for lunch, anyone? :p

A splash of coconut milk adds a wonderful (and authentic-ish) taste & aroma that takes everything to a whole new level, so do not skip that! A bit of fat occasionally on a high carb diet won't hurt!

Also, a lot of people ask me how many serving the recipes on this blog are for, the answer is, 1 serving (for me hehe). But feel free to make more/less depending on your appetite! (note: especially if you're new to the high carb vegan lifestyle and still not used to eating lots of food)

Now let's move on to the recipe! <3

Matcha Mango Oats with Caramel Apples & Chocolate Sauce

My friends always make weird faces or say that oats = tastes 'too healthy' / ew / gross / etc. And then I asked them how they make/eat oats and usually the answer is instant oats / 'plain' oats with little to no sweetener and fruits… Of course oats won't taste good if you cook it that way hahah, you need to get a lil creative!

Don't worry because I'm here to help you out :p (if you still think oats don't taste good or you don't like it). I used to not like oats when I was a little kid because I was given a weird-tasting instant one on my first try and that put me off oats for quite a while. Then I found out how tasty oats can be when I 'experimented' a bit with it! I hope you like this recipe!
