He empowered himself to lose over three hundred pounds and inspired others to change their lives through a plant-based diet. His recent appearance on our show launched his book, The Change Cookbook, into to a best-seller. Now, Milan Ross says give him a chance in the kitchen and he'll prove you won't miss meat. Challenge accepted! Teresa Strasser going meatless and loving it these three delicious recipes.
1. Meatless Shrimp Po' Boy
Popcorn Shrimp:
6 Vegan Shrimp cut in half
Tempura Flour 8oz box
Cormmeal
1/4 cup Water
Enough oil to cover shrimp to deep fry
Scallion Cream Sauce:
4 ounces Vegan Sour Cream (Tofutti, Follow Your Heart, etc.)
8 ounces Vegan Mayo (Follow Your Heart, Naysoya, etc)
5 scallions chopped fine
1/2 of a lime or 1 tablespoon lime or lemon Juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup finely shredded green cabbage and iceberg lettuce (50/50 mix)
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1 toasted french roll
Technique:
Divide tempura flour equally into three bowls
Bowl 1: Plain Tempura flour
Bowl 2: Tempura batter. Add water to flour enough to form a thick but still runny liquid (think pancake syrup)
Bowl 3: 2 parts Tempura flour, 1 part cornmeal
Bowl 1: Dust the shrimp pieces with tempura flour, shake off excess flour
Bowl 2: Coat the pieces evenly with batter
Bowl 3: Drop Shrimp one at a time into flour/cormeal mix and shake bowl to coat
Fry shrimp in 350 degree oil until golden brown (about 2-3 min). Whisk together cream sauce ingredients. Get your favorite vegan 1/2 split french roll, put a line of cream sauce down the middle. Add the shrimp, top with cabbage/lettuce mix, tomatoes, and finish with more Scallion Cream Sauce. Enjoy!
2. Non-Bacon Cheeseburger
For this one just make a classic cheesburger the way you normally would, but swap out the meat with The Beyond Burger. Most people can't tell the difference. YUM!
