Banana Date Oat Bars

Eating a healthy breakfast is a priority for me, so even though I’m not a fan of coffee, I always make sure there is something nutritious tucked away in my freezer for a quick, easy, and warm breakfast on busy mornings. They aren’t sugary sweet; they taste like bananas and I love bananas. They are easy to make and perfect for those brown bananas that I usually throw away.

These yummy, gooey, and filling vegan banana date oat bars are so easy to make quickly and are able to last you a few weeks. They’ll also easily help you power through your morning as they’re packed with protein, fiber, and essential vitamins. Not only are these bars gluten, dairy, and nut free, but they’re also sugar free as well! Natural sugars > all other sugar, you feel me?

The banana/date combo provides not only the sweetness, but the stickiness needed to hold these bars together. In texture the bars are soft and chewy but with a little caramelised crispier bit around the edges that were touching the tin. They aren’t crunchy like granola bars but they are chewy. No, they aren’t a chocolate chip cookie, but I don’t feel guilty eating them.

Chinese Stir-Fried Eggplant with Green Beans

pPacked with flavour and satisfying umami, this stir-fried eggplant with green beans (豆角烧茄子) makes a divine meal paired with some rice. This dish is one of my must-order dishes when I go out to Chinese restaurants, and I discovered it’s a very quick-to-prepare dish for home cooking as well.

As the name suggest, this dish is a stir fry of the two vegetables on a savoury spicy sauce made with soy sauce and chillies, a common Chinese home-style dish. There is no protein contained, but big flavour is created. This dish has both eggplant and green beans fried, but are less greasy when made at home.

Spicy Cold Kimchi Noodles

There’s no better way to beat the hot summer weather than having some addictively spicy Korean noodles! Do you agree with me? These vegan cold kimchi noodles aka kimchi bib guksu are deliciously spicy, sweet and tangy with a kimchi crunch!

Every bite of these noodles is a burst of flavour and can be classified as a cold noodle salad when extra vegetables are added, and I’m confident to say it is one of the most addictive dishes in Korean cuisine.

When I first heard about this dish, I was so fascinated by it. Mainly because the noodles were served cold but they have this delicious chewy texture. so I knew I had to create my version of it.
