Vegan Evan Makes Easy Vegan Recipes
LunchBreakLive with activists, VeganEvan, Grandma Lynn and his Mom, Shannon Blair. Today, VeganEvan is making as many easy vegan recipes as they can in one show! They are making Mock Chicken Noodle Soup, stacked up Mock Tuna with Tofurky sandwiches!
VeganEvan shows us how to make the Mock Chicken Noodle Soup with a recipe from Mainstreet Vegan by Victoria Moran. They use firm tofu instead of chicken to skip the cruelty! Grandma Lynn helps keep the recipe moving smoothly and safely. Evan adds all the veggies and spices to the pot. While Grandma Lynn heats it up, Evan shows us how to make a super simple vegan mayo in a blender! Shannon recommends freezing the cashews after you soak them so they are always ready to use. Next, they use the vegan mayo to make a mock tuna salad with smashed chickpeas. VeganEvan adds the vegan mayo to the last sandwich too! Shannon hops in to stack up the sandwich with Tofurky, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli sprouts, and avocado. Yum! VeganEvan wants to share their creations “through the camera,” but since we can’t do that, try making all of these easy dishes at home with the recipes below! When they’re not cooking in the kitchen, VeganEvan, President of the global animal rights group Animal Hero Kids, and his mom keep busy with campaigns for the animals, including the one in January 2020 with Million Dollar Vegan and Veganuary all over the world.
