Sesame Miso Soba with Crispy Tofu – Leels Cooks

  Let’s pretend summer is here already so we can eat all of the cool, refreshing and light foods, okay? OKAY?! I’ve also been making a lot of unintentional vegetarian meals lately, not sure why, not unhappy about it though. As long as it’s delicious, no complaints! Feel free to sub out any of the vegetables with your favourite, and you can also sub the tofu for any other protein you’d prefer. Shredded rotisserie chicken would go very well with this. What you need: 1/2 brick of firm tofu, cubed 2 sleeves of soba noodles 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced … Read more

Score Your Tofu Before Marinating For More Flavor

If you think tofu is bland and boring, you should reevaluate how you prepare it because bringing sensational flavor to your tofu game is unbelievably simple. In fact, several techniques are similar to the steps in preparing animal-based proteins. One such key method is scoring your tofu. By creating shallow cuts across the tofu’s surface, you significantly increase the surface area for your flavorful marinade to seep into. Consider the crevices created from scoring your tofu to be flavor reservoirs … Read more

How To Maintain The Texture Of Nori In Homemade Sushi Rolls

Yulia Naumenko/Getty Images Sushi is an elegant, deceptively simple food that cleverly combines flavors and textures to create beautifully balanced bites of food. Though learning all the nuances of this centuries-old art can take more than a decade, making your favorite classic maki rolls at home is fairly easy and much more budget-friendly than ordering takeout. Maki rolls are what most people think of first when they picture sushi, as it features the classic combo of seafood and veggies nestled in the center of tasty layers of rice and seaweed paper, aka … Read more

How Many Times Has Wendy’s Changed Its Fries?

Deutschlandreform/Shutterstock It may not seem like it, but an incredible amount of research and planning goes into each fast food product. This applies even more to staples that are part of a fast food chain’s signature offerings, since they help the brand differentiate itself. For example, McDonald’s and Wendy’s have very different beef patties that both companies have poured significant resources into perfecting.  The humble french fry is an equally big deal, considering it’s Wendy’s largest-selling product and has only been changed twice since the chain started in 1969. After keeping them the … Read more

Eggs in a Pizza Basket – Leels Cooks

We don’t need a recipe for this. You just need to see this and know it exists. Those of you that follow my instagram know that I have a thing for eggs. Straight up #yolkporn. If I can put an egg on it, I will. Two, even. This was just one of those cases 😀 I like putting an egg ON pizza, but I find either making it separate or baking it on top of already baked pizza doesn’t really go as well. So this was my solution. Make eggs in a basket, but with pizza. Easy peasy. Try it … Read more
