Vegan Kimchi Oatmeal

3 medium scallions, chopped⁣
1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped ⁣
1/2 cup drained Napa cabbage kimchi, chopped⁣
2 cloves garlic, minced⁣
1 tablespoon canola oil⁣
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil⁣
1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats⁣
1 cup water⁣
1 tablespoon soy sauce⁣
3 tbsp Just Egg or Just Egg folded, cooked and diced⁣
1 tablespoon Follow Your Heart parmesan (optional)⁣
1/2 cup Daiya mozzarella shreds
chili crisp for garnish⁣

Heat the oil and toasted sesame oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the scallions and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic, onion, and kimchi. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the kimchi softens and lightly browns, 4 to 6 minutes.⁣

Add the old-fashioned rolled oats and stir to combine. Add water and soy sauce, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the oats absorb most of the liquid and look like porridge, 4 to 6 minutes.⁣

Add Just Egg into the oatmeal and stir until cooked and incorporated into the oatmeal, about 1 minute. Turn off the heat. Add 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese and stir to combine.⁣

Transfer the oatmeal to a bowl, top with the cheese, and microwave until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Garnish with chili crisp

Vegan Soyrizo Potato Kale Soup

9 oz soyrizo (I used Cacique soy chorizo, Ralphs/99 Cent Store/Dollar Tree)
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons no salt tomato paste
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
8 cups water
6 tsp bouillon paste (try 5 tsp, I had better than bouillon no chicken but will try vegetable next time)
1 can no salt black beans, drained and rinsed
12 oz Pictsweet frozen cut leaf kale

Preheat a large soup pot over medium heat. Cook soyrizo and onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add tomato paste, smoked paprika, nutritional yeast, and stir to combine. Cook 1 to 2 minutes to heat the chorizo and allow flavors to mingle. Add potatoes and broth, and bring to a boil.

Add black beans and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are fork tender. Stir in kale, remove from heat, and let sit for a few minutes.
