There are over 300K different plants to choose from. Animals feel pain and fear, and we treat them terribly. Why not support farmers markets and start with one meal replacement a day to step towards a plant based diet? Go slow and be mindful - read food labels, consider where products come from and if they are ethically sourced. We've done a terrible job taking care of the planet the past 50 years, and we need to make better choices! Good luck!!

For anyone who needs to avoid oil for health reasons like me... I spray the tofu lightly with liquid aminos or briefly dip into a seasoned liquid of choice, then lightly dust with cornstarch and pop it into the air fryer for 15 minutes or until crispy. The cornstarch helps make the surfaces crispier... it won't be as crispy as fried of course, but still awesome!

Thanks for all of the help as I go vegan. You could use a lot less water boiling your pasta and it would make a thicker emulsion. The Food Lab author tested the large boiling pot of water theory, turns out you just need enough water to cover the pasta. It makes a richer pasta water sauce as well.

For Asian food, in order to sweeten and thicken the sauces, they use oligo syrup (rice syrup). This is what gives Chinese and Korean take out sauce that kind of sweet and sticky texture. Put this in your peanut sauce recipe next time, or if you ever make Asian cuisine. It's seriously next level amazing!!! I used to make homemade from scratch Korean food all the time, and oligo syrup is an exceptional boost to any saucy dish, and it's authentic to the palette of the cultures! You'll love it! 😎👍
