Special Valentine’s Day Vegan Dinner - Stuffed Diamond Baguettes, Heart-Shaped Bell Pepper, Sautéed Colorful Fruits & Sweet Tofu Hearts, Part 1 of 2

Today is almost Valentine’s, so we’re preparing something for Valentine’s, in case you have a nice partner. We have green peas and some red peppers for decoration and to cook, green pepper, yellow pepper, and eggplant. We have also French baguette. And we have some soft, silky tofu, 400 grams. Yes. And we have some fruit syrup to eat with the tofu as a dessert. And we also have some corn. We have to boil it together with the vegetables. And, of course, we have ground black pepper, some soy sauce, and some vegetable bouillon, and mushroom seasoning. You don’t have to use vegetable bouillon, there is also some fruity bouillon, you can make it yourself.

First, we turn on the heat and boil the water, so that we can boil the vegetables. And we chop some of the red pepper into very small cubes, like the size of the tip of your little finger, just for some color. Also, I have prepared four pieces of red pepper, in the shape of a heart, for Valentine’s. You can also cube other fruit, other vegetables, yellow pepper, or green pepper as well, sauté it together, it’s nice. And some eggplant also, cube them together. I’m going to sauté that to eat with the food. These are just preparation. Cube them small, small. So that when you’re talking together, you don’t have to chew too much. Because during Valentine’s dinner, I guess you want to talk, no? About anything, sweet nothingness.

While waiting for it to re-boil again and cook, I’ll prepare the bread and other stuff.

We’ll make some stuffed bread today. We’re using mashed vegan ham. They call it soy paste. It’s like mashed vegan ham to stuff inside the bread; 100 grams or 200 grams is fine. Now we are preparing the bread. You cut it into some slices, diamond-shaped, about one inch thick (2.5 centimeters), something like that. You want your relationship to last forever like diamonds. People say diamonds are forever. If anything is forever in this world, it would be nice. Some couples, they do stay together through thick and thin, like diamonds. So, you see, diamond-shaped for your diamond-like relationship.

Now we are taking the inside of the bread out, so we can stuff the vegan ham into it. And you be careful with the French bread or any crusty bread because sometimes they put egg water on it to make the crust crispy. So you have to ask your seller whether your bread is completely vegan; no egg, no milk on it. I think you know what to do. If you don’t have this kind of mashed vegan ham, you can use soy textured protein and grind it fine and mix it together with spice and all that. Same, yes? Or if you have vegan chicken or vegan sausage, you can grind it fine in a processor. Or even small, small cubes are fine, it doesn’t have to be exactly the same. It depends on what you have in your house. Anything, we can cook.
