Be well and stay well this winter. In sickness and in health, I must recommend a deep, steaming bowlful of congee to feel your best. A simple, savory rice porridge, it's not real pretty, but my super green version is powerfully comforting.⁣ ⁣ Green Congee⁣ ⁣ 6 - 7 Cups Mushroom or Vegetable Stock⁣ 1 Cup White Rice⁣ 1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce⁣ 1 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar⁣ 1 Tablespoon Moringa Powder⁣ 1 Bunch Scallions⁣ 1 Bunch Cilantro⁣ Chopped Peanuts (Optional)⁣ ⁣ Combine the first 6 cups of stock with the rice, soy sauce, and rice vinegar in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 1 hour, until thick and creamy. Stir in the moringa and herbs. Serve hot! ⁣ ⁣ As the congee cools, it will become thicker. Add the remaining stock if necessary to make the congee to your desired thickness.⁣ ⁣ Top with chopped peanuts, if desired. ⁣ ⁣ This will cure whatever ails you!⁣ ⁣ Now THAT'S a wrap, folks. Shawarma Dajaj, otherwise known as spiced chicken shawarma wraps, have never looked so good before going #plantbased. Using rehydrated soycurls instead of meat cuts down the cooking time to just under 30 minutes and is every bit as tender, hearty, and boldly flavorful. Veganizing @anediblemosaic's recipe is a snap, and the whole thing gets bundled up with fresh cut cucumbers and tomatoes using a @breadmastersaraz lavash for grab-and-go convenience. 🥛Let's redefine the concept of "milk" chocolate, shall we? Dairy isn't the only creamy contender out there, as the recent explosion of alt-milks has proven. @panda_vegan_chocolate brings a blend of soy and coconut to their cacao confections, and I was lucky enough to snag a bite of some of their top bars. Here are my tasting notes...⁣ ⁣ 🥜 Peanuts Butter:⁣ ▫32% Cacao which yields soft bite, fudgy texture.⁣ ▫Smooth, creamy melt.⁣ ▫Filling seams to blend into the cocoa shell, they're both so supple.⁣ ▫Mellow, sweet and simple.⁣ ▫Peanut flavor is somewhat subdued. Subtly nutty at most.⁣ ▫Could maybe use a pinch of salt.⁣ ▫Wish the chocolate was bolder, darker, richer.⁣ ⁣ 🌰 Hazelnut Cream:⁣ ▫Seems like it would be just like the peanut butter based on the packaging and description, but no! Crunchy pieces of toasted hazelnut proliferate just beneath the surface. Fresh, crisp, and sweet, the combination is simply delightful. Imagine Nutella in bar format, with extra nuts.⁣ ▫Couldn't detect a creamy filling of hazelnut butter, though. Seemed like the same consistency all the way though.⁣ ⁣ 🍬 Caramel & Salt:⁣ ▫Crunches and crackles with crystals. Shards of burnt sugar and sea salt intermingle between these breakaway rectangles, continuing their dance all the way across the tongue.⁣ ▫Speckled on top, looking like cookies and cream, but tasting far more nuanced⁣ ▫Milky, creamy, lowest cacao percentage (31%) but somehow well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet.⁣ ▫My favorite, by far! ⁣ ⁣ ❗PS, while their Instagram and linked website is based in Israel, they do have an English page from which you can order to the US. Just @Google it!⁣ It's a good thing I have an insatiable appetite for ice cream, since it seems like 75% of the birthday #freebies available include frozen confections. @baskinrobbins is one of the greatest mainstream treats now, offering not only the usual sorbets, but THREE genuinely creamy #nondairy delights. Chose between coffee caramel chunk, chocolate overload, and chocolate chip cookie dough at any of their scoop shops.
