Breakfast Tacos ala Naked

I am a fan of Flore Vegan, a vegan restaurant in Silverlake, California. Me and the Mrs. go there almost every weekend for breakfast of brunch.  This weekend we decided to stay at home for breakfast and create something close to Flore's. So this dish is in inspired by Flore Vegan's breakfast burrito.


BREAKFAST TACO'S ALA NAKED
*inspired by Flore Vegan


1 cup kale, chopped
1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup mushroom, diced
1/2 of cornOne box extra soft tofu from Trader Joes, diced
1/2 bag of Trader Joe's spices spiced soybeans
2-4 Corn tortillas
Nutiva Coconut oil
Lettuce, chopped
5-8 Baby tomatoes


Salt and Pepper to taste
Tapatio


-First, in a pan add some coconut oil on medium heat. Throw in the kale, onion, mushroom, corn, tofu and spiced soybeans with a little bit of salt and pepper to taste.
-While that's cooking, go to the tortillas and in a separate pan on low heat, place the tortilla's in the pan. This is so that we can get them super soft. You need to flip them once. 
-Head back to the pan and really get the tofu nice and scrambled. 
-Now plate the tortilla's and add the scramble on the tortilla's.
-Sprinkle some chopped lettuce and tomatoes on top and your done! 

Muy Bueno!

Naked Dude Chef's Tofu Tostada's

OMG! This, I believe, is one of the best dishes I've conjured up in my days.  Really!  Even Mrs. Naked Dude Chef melted away while eating it. *Pat on my shoulder*

Ok, now this is an easy dish, and fast as well. It tastes great with beer or wine/sangria. (We had Heineken and 'Taiwan Beer' my friend gave me.)


NAKED DUDE CHEF'S TOFU TOSTADA'S (For 2-4)

1 Zucchini, chopped finely (or process briefly)
1 Red Bell pepper, chopped finely (or process briefly)
2 Carrots, chopped finely (or process briefly)
Handful of Spinach, chopped finely (or process briefly)
1 heirloom Tomato, diced
1/2 White Onion, chopped
5-6 stems Cilantro, chopped
3 Red Radish, sliced thinly
4 fresh Corn Tortillas
2 Dr. Praeger's Vegan burgers
Baked tofu, sliced
Paprika
2 tablespoons of Trader Joe's (or other) Taco Mix
Salt, to taste
2 tablespoons of Nutiva Coconut Oil

First, put the tortillas in the oven (or toaster oven) on 350 degrees and let them sit for 15 minutes or until crispy.  Chop or briefly process the zucchini, red bell pepper, carrots, spinach, tomato and white onion and mix in a medium bowl.

Then in a pan on medium heat, add the Coconut oil and throw the mixture of veggies into the pan.  Now, we want to keep the veggies still somewhat raw, so stir fry it for only about five minutes or so.  Add the taco mix and salt to taste.

After that, get the Dr. Praegers burgers and place in a pan on medium. Cook them each on both sides, twice, until browned. Then use your spatula to flatten it. This will be great on the tortilla.

Now, the tortilla is ready. Place it on a plate and then take the veg burger and place it on the tortilla. Then place a big spoonful of the veggies on top.

Place some of sliced, baked tofu on top of the veggies, as well as the cilantro. Lay the radishes on the side, then sprinkle some paprika on it and EAT!

ARIBA!

Miso Naked Apple Harvest Soup

A few days ago it was raining and I really wanted some hot foods. Like pizza, or a burger or hot sake. So, I dug around in my fridge and found some stuff that was just screaming to be used. I accessed my kitchen and came up with this.  it was surprisingly amazing.

BTW, you have to be drinking Sake while making this. I like unfiltered Nagori Sake.

MISO NAKED APPLE HARVEST SOUP

Bunch of white radish, diced
6 Finger potatoes, diced
1 red Bell Pepper, diced
2 Small Braeburn Apples, chopped
Celery, chopped
1 White Onion, Diced
6 cups of water
Nutritional Yeast
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder
Salt  to taste
Pepper  to taste
NUTIVA Coconut Oil
Kyoto Red Miso paste
Sake in your right hand

In a pot, pour 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil. While that's going on heat some Nutiva Coconut oil in a pan. Throw the white radish, finger potatoes, apples, white onion, and red bell pepper in the pan to stir fry, until brown.

As the water should be boiling by now, dump everything in that pan into the pot. Take a swig of Sake.

Now, throw in the nutritional yeast, celery, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.  Then comes the Miso. Now, for each cup of soup it should be one teaspoon of miso, or until it tastes good. Watch out though, Miso can be salty.

After everything comes to a boil, you're ready to serve it. Now take a shot of Sake and let's go eat!

Probst!

White Naked Radish Explosion

So, this one here was a mistake that turned out to be so good. I generally like to use everything a vegetable has to offer. Why? Because I'm a geek like that. In this case, I used everything on a white radish.

*The white radish was used in a soup, coming up on the next post.

Now, this recipe is fast and simple. If you're on the go, you can whip it up in 15 minutes or less.

WHITE NAKED RADISH EXPLOSION

White radish stems, chopped
8 garlic cloves, chopped
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Crushed red pepper, sprinkled
Nutiva Coconut Oil

Heat up the pan on medium. Throw in some Nutiva coconut oil.  Put the garlic in until brown.  Then throw in the radish stems and stir fry.  Add the salt and pepper.  Serve in a bowl and sprinkle some crushed red pepper.

And there you go. I hope you enjoy it.  Leave me a comment and let me know how you like it.

Until next time, cheers!
