Quick & easy vegan Ramen

"Food for the body isn’t enough. There must be food for the soul.” – Dorothy Day

Ramen is definitely one of those foods which are good for your body AND soul. My soul just needs comfort food at the moment, as my year had more of a shitty twist to it so far.
It basically went like "shit, shit, shit oh wait a moment… no just some more shit!" CAUTION! RAMBLING AHEAD: This month my cat died after being poisoned with rat poison. Once more I’m amazed by the stupidity and cruelty of humans. This horrible time showed me why I am so unbelievably happy with my diet. I do not contribute to cruelty. When my bundle of joy suffered, and died in my arms because of a cold hearted idiotic human, I saw the exact same pattern which I saw just a month before when I stood beside my Granny’s hospital bed on the day she died. The fight was scarily comparable, so who am I to see the similarities between a human and a cat but to say that pig and cows etc. do not feel the same? A couple of days later I saw the dog of my father’s family and the dog would not leave my side because animals know when we do not feel good and they try to make us feel better, but why do we award cats and dog with those abilities but not for examples pigs, who by the way are a lot more intelligent than dogs! I just can’t gripe this concept. Please don’t get me wrong I don’t have any hard feelings towards meat-eaters, you do you. I just see how easy my cruelty-free diet is on everyday basis and then so many people tell how much they’re amazed by what I do and whenever I cook something people do enjoy it (Yes, sometimes I get a little too excited about my hot sauce but you get it, don’t you?) but that they never could do it themselves. I can only speak for myself, but once I realised the costs of my diet (animal- and environment-wise) it truly was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. You don’t even have to be a vegan or a vegetarian, leave out one meat dish a week and you can save an animal. Because this is simply economics: Supply and demand! By every piece of meat you buy YOU kill an animal and by every piece of meat you don’t buy YOU save an animal. It is as simple as that, so let’s not make it any more complicated. I personally think that it is amazing if you want to be vegetarian or a vegan but if it is also great if you “only” decide to eat fewer animal products. Because your choices directly save others and no matter how little the improvement is, it is an improvement and therefore I am grateful. All I want to ask you for is to try your best and show compassion. Not to forget the fact that the greatest foods are 100% cruelty-free anyway, like this quick and easy vegan ramen recipe. This recipe is the perfect combination of “cosy winter days in front of the fireplace”-vibes and a health booster. This recipe consists of simple and easily accessible foods. Most vegan ramen recipes include tofu or seitan, which can’t be enjoyed by everyone because of allergies, aren’t available in every supermarket and aren’t overly cheap. However, if you like one of those things you can simply add it to the recipe because this beauty is an allrounder. Enough said, let’s get started!

Christmas dinner [vegan]

December 01, 2016

“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?” — Bob Hope

Sadly, humans are quite funny, when it comes to loving others, they often do need those special occasions to act per their feelings and not let stress and others turn them in those grumpy looking and acting muppets. But it’s finally here: the month of Christmas.
Last year I didn’t felt anything like Christmassy until Christmas day, but this year I'm beyond ready for Christmas. My house is full of fairy lights, candles are everywhere, I did the annual biscuit baking and my first ever vegan advent calendar is waiting for me. In a nutshell: Let December begin! 🎄

Nevertheless, with the festive season coming, the festive food comes too and the rather traditional holiday feasts are not overly veggie friendly and your beloved omnivores might be like: But it’s Christmas, do you not eat meat etc. for special occasions like this? But you eat fish for Christmas, don’t you?! And no, I don't, because I'm happy with my diet and especially Christmas -for me- is about loving others. But why should I limited my love to curtain groups? I deeply love my family, friends and my cat is the most precious thing in my life and I love the planet we live on and I can't not make the connection between the piece of roast on my plate and the ridiculously intelligent pig, that should not have died for my pure amusement. No, I want my Christmas to be a happy place filled with joy and love for others and myself.

I'm personally gifted with an amazing and supportive family, who will make a vegan/ vegetarian options for me, however, chances are huge I'll end up with roasted veggies and potatoes. Don’t get me wrong, I love veggies and potatoes but I love having fancy meals for days like this. That's when my haunt for a special Christmas dinner, which everyone can enjoy started and I'll be perfectly honest with you, I wasn't too overwhelmed by the options. There were quite a lot of recipes out there, but not proper dinners and as it's quite a tradition in my family, to have a three-course meal on days like this, I was determined to create a three course Christmas dinner. I wanted to create a dinner, which can be enjoyed by everyone and that will not end up with one spending the whole Christmas day in the kitchen, but gives you lots of time for the important things, like family, talks and presents.

In the end of this post, you’ll find a little timetable, which you might find useful for an even more relaxed Christmas day.

I hope you like the recipes and that you'll find some inspiration for your animal and human friendly Christmas dinner.

Btw, this month is another very special month, so there will be two recipes, the other, obviously, Christmas related, recipe will be up the week before Christmas!

So, let's get into the Christmas spirit, put the Christmas music on and let's start cooking:

3-Gänge Weihnachtsmenü [vegan]

December 01, 2016

„Je mehr Freude wir anderen Menschen machen, desto mehr Freude kehrt ins eigene Herz zurück“. - Deutsche Weisheit

Und darum geht es doch Weihnachten, oder? Ich für meinen Teil liebe diese „Jahreszeit“. Die Adventszeit ist mit Abstand meine Lieblingszeit und ich bin sowas von bereit, mein Haus ist vollgepackt mit Kerzen, Lichterketten und Keksen UND ich liebe es! 🎄

Eigentlich wäre alles rund um Weihnachten perfekt, wäre da nicht dieses traditionelle Essen. Ich persönlich habe eine wundervolle und unterstützende Familie die für mich immer eine Alternative macht, jedoch endet das dann gerne mal in Gemüse und Kartoffeln. So sehr ich Gemüse und Kartoffeln auch liebe, ich möchte ein besonderes Weihnachtsessen haben! Also habe ich mich dieses Jahr auf die Suche nach veganen Weihnachtsmenüs gemacht und um ehrlich zu sein, die Auswahl war jetzt nicht zu üppig. Natürlich gibt es tausende von Rezepten, aber ich war halt auf der Suche nach einem Menü. Am Ende habe ich nichts komplett Zufriedenstellendes gefunden, besonders, weil ich natürlichere Gerichte gesucht habe und nicht einfach das Fleisch durch irgendwelches veganes „Fleisch“ ersetzen wollte. Also blieb mir am Ende nichts Anderes übrig als mein eigenes Menü zu kreieren. Immerhin weiß ich jetzt, warum es nicht derart viele Menüs gibt, es war verdammt viel Arbeit! Außerdem habe ich mir eine neue Kamera gekauft und es war sehr aufregend und toll diese auszuprobieren und natürlich auch das Resultat zu sehen, denn ich liebe die Bilder! Alleine hätte ich das aber niemals hinbekommen, denn seien wir ehrlich, mein Kamerawissen belief sich auf… null. Aber zu meinem unbeschreiblichen Glück habe ich einfach die besten Freunde! Also eine kleine Laudatio für meine liebe Kyana, ohne die dieser Blogpost niemals so toll geworden wäre, die mir so unendlich viel Arbeit abgenommen hat, die dafür sorgte, dass ich keinen Nervenzusammenbruch erlitten habe, die bis spät abends bei mir geblieben ist, die mir so viel gezeigt hat und die dafür verantwortlich ist, dass ich in Zukunft viel bessere und schönere Fotos machen kann (außer die Bilder sehen hässlich aus, dann geht das ganze natürlich auf meine untalentierte Kappe!). Danke mein Schnuck, ich bin sehr froh dich zu haben, du bist die Allerbeste! 💖

In Anbetracht dieser Neuerungen, werde ich nun im Laufe des kommenden Jahres (Ich kann’s nicht glauben, 2016 ist schon fast wieder um!) meine älteren Blogposts erneuern und dann Schritt für Schritt auch in Deutsch veröffentlichen. Wie auch immer, ich hoffe euch gefallen die neueren Bilder. Um Weihnachten und die Neuerungen auf meinem Blog gebührend zu feiern, werde ich diesen Monat, in der Woche vor Weihnachten, außerdem noch ein weiteres Rezept veröffentlichen, also guckt mal vorbei.

Aber zurück zum heutigen Rezept, ich denke ich habe genug erzählt. Mach die Musik an, bring dich in Weihnachtsstimmung und dann lass uns kochen:
