COOKING: Eating Healthy Unprocessed Foods (6) Cooking With Soybeans

[shadykable]

Thanks for the nice videos Brian. I am also considering to start a natural diet. I am having weight problems, I am 110 KG's at 6 FT of height. I need to shed around 40 KiloGrams but I was wondering, since I left the gym queit a long time ago I am getting back to body building and was wondering if this diet shall assist my rigorous routine?

@shadykable Hi. Yes, I believe the vegetarian diet is the best one for anyone. Even an athlete. I guess the main concern is getting quality proteins. And I would recommend taking some time and reading about "food combining" to get complete proteins. Just google: "vegetarian combining proteins." You will find that if you eat beans with grains or potatoes, you are getting the same high quality protein you would if you ate meat. You may also consider adding milk or cheese too. Cheers, Brian.

Wow, Brian, that really looks delicious. Thanks for the tip about the soybeans. I've never made anything with soybeans and probably would have bought the dried ones to use. It sounds like they're a bit too much trouble, so I'll get the canned ones. Thanks for saving me from the headache! Cheryl

@grizzlyten Hi Cheryl. I like soybeans a lot, but the problem with cooking your own is that they develope a syrupy liquid while cooking which foams and bubbles over. Especially bad in a pressure-cooker! Pity, though, because they have wonderful nutrition. If you get a moment, look at whfoods.com. (world's healthiest foods dot com) It has many common foods listed by nutrients. Soybeans are a powerhouse! So yes, by all means..eat them canned. : ) Brian.

@grizzlyten canned foods can leach harmful chemicals from the liners and soybeans are often genetically modified.

Thank you so much for your cooking videos. I really like how you cook!!! I got a bunch of interesting ideas from you.

It would be helpful if you could create a playlist of all your cooking videos.

All the best from Austria! :)

@theabcwriter I appreciate your comment. I like the idea. I will look into how to do it. Greetings from USA to beautiful Austria!

won't you destroy most of the nutrients by cooking it that long?

@neilhack10 Hi Neil. Gosh! I dunno. I hope not! : ) Brian.

Hey Brain,

I've been vegan for quite a while now and a vegetarian much longer. I didn't notice any particular health benefits except that I knew I wasn't putting in those nasty fats and cholestrol. I was recently introduced to 'raw food veganism' in youtube where folks advocate eating raw or minimally cooked food for maximum benefits. I'm gonna be trying your recepie but it's gonna be a ocassional treat as the nutriet density is compromised in cooked food. Search for raw food veganism. GL.

@neilhack10 Hi. I appreciate you taking the time to advise me in this way. Certainly raw foods are preferable as long as they are digestible. Otherwise, some cooking may be necessary to make it digestible. Take for example, the humble potato. I couldn't eat that unless it was cooked. Haha! Good Luck with your raw diet! Thank-You! Brian.

@LoveMattersMost

You're right... I couldn't live without mashed potato and some vegan lentil gravy. I'm not completely raw foodist and don't plan to become 100% raw. Perhaps just about 50-70 % .Thank you for posting this video.

@neilhack10 Hi Jude. --And thank-you for raising the important issue of raw foods. We should cook much less, and eat more foods in their natural state whenever we can. Brian.

Great video, thanks for sharing. It's nice to see video's showing delicious alternatives to eating meat. The great thing about tofu is that it takes on the taste of whatever you cook it with. My wife and I are pescatarians, we haven't eaten beef, chicken or pork in about 3 years and are gradually becoming vegetarian. Cheers!

Yum! Do you think that this would work with leftover couscous in place of rice? I'm kind of iffy on it....hmm...

[LoveMattersMost]

Oh, most definitely! Any of the grains are interchangeable, and there are probably half a dozen grains in my grocery store..Hey, I just had a thought...you could use whole grain pasta too!

[twish1999]

Your videos have inspired me so much already!

i have implemented a lot of changes since i spoke to you last.

i am eating oats for breakfast, wholemeal bread with salads for lunch and wholewheat pasta or brown rice for dinner. I am going to hunt down the Misu you used here because that stir-fry looked wonderful, i could almost smell it!

I bought unsalted cashew nuts for snacking and i have not eaten any sugar or white flour or white rice since i first came across you.

:-)

OMG! that's such amazing news! You really are serious about your health! Wonderful! : ) I just discovered the "Miso" myself this week. I'm not keen on Soy-Sauce, because it is so intensely salty. Miso was a very pleasant surprise for me! And it wasn't just good acting-that dish tasted soooo good! Thanks for saying my videos were a good influence. I couldnt be more pleased about that! : ) -Brian.
