Plant-Based Cooking Challenge 👨🏿‍🍳 Week #24 👩‍🍳 Come Join Us!!

Greetings again my fellow Hivers, it's me @JustinParke with the latest Plant-Based Weekly Cooking Challenge, where I feature last week's winners and provide a new set of ingredients for this week's challenge.

     I'm always doing my best to provide you all with a fun but challenging set of ingredients and/or cooking styles that will keep us all entertained. I hope I've done it once again and and have you all excited for this week's new challenge. I am looking forward to what you all with share with me this, so let the ideas begin brewing now.

     It's Thursday again, and that means a new challenge and new ingredients, each of which you may use one or more within your recipe submission. Not only is this challenge published from this account, I also share the link within the Plant Power curation posted every Thursday via the main @NaturalMedicine account. Now let's have a look at the winners of last week's challenge.

     We always love when a chef makes a video tutorial, as they are generally more engaging than a written recipe post. What's even better is when the video is filmed well and the quality is good. This post has it all, an awesome video and an awesome recipe, just as healthy as it is delicious. This Indonesian chef never fails to impress us with her creativity in the kitchen.

     Congratulations @aswita! You are the winner of 3 HIVE and a 5% beneficiary of this post.

2nd & 3rd Prize Winners

Bitter Gourd Thoran
by: @farmlife (2nd)

Yuba Nuggets
by: @carolynstahl (3rd)

     Chef @farmlife's thoran made from bitter gourd was very appealing, and I could almost smell the coconut and curry leaves as I read his post. If you've ever eaten bitter gourd, you know exactly why the name "bitter" is in the name of this vegetable. It takes a good spice mix and pairing with other flavors to bring the bitterness down to acceptable levels, so this chef's flavors are what stand out to me. Excellent work chef!

     No we travel to the far north of Canada where we find chef @carolynstahl's tempting yuba nuggets. If these little treats were left unattended in my house too long, I know my daughters (@kidsisters) would leave me an empty plate. These beancurd skin nuggets are also served with some very choice sauces, so defnitely check this recipe out.

     There was also tempting recipes like @sreypov's 🍋 Lime Pickle Sour Soup 🍅 With Beancurd Skin 🍲 Ital/Vegan Recipe, @journeylife's Homemade Watermelon Juice, @chacald.dcymt's Venezuelan Cachapas 🌽, and @umirais's Watermelon-Corn Beverage. Be sure to check these gems out if you have time.
