Just ordered your cookbook. Had a Instant Pot for years (unused). I've been a overly-processed junk food vegan but now determined to eat wholesome wholefood vegan. Thank you.

Aww yay! I am so happy to hear you have my cookbook. I hope it'll get you excited to eat some more wholesome food and to make some use out of that instant pot :)

Hello Nisha, I'm from Germany and really appreciate your innovative and healthy cooking style and motivating videos. After I successfully tested your Hummus recipe, which made me addicted, I also tried your kind of 'Tofu and broccoli' yesterday. Even I have no instant pot, the result was an absolutely delicious flavourful vegan meal, with just 3 main ingredients (I added some onions) and spices/sauces, I anyway have on stock. Thanks a lot for your wonderful ideas. I'm a new fan to your channel here and also to your incredible website.

You don't need cornstarch. You can just add a couple tablespoons of nutritional yeast. It will thicken your sauce and also add flavor and nutrients.

I made this and added some cauliflower and carrot slivers. When finished cooking I added a few peanuts. It was yummy!!! Thank you so much. Hint for this with acid reflux: You may want to scale back that spice!

I like how simple the recipe is. I’ve never seen a stir fry in an Instantpot so what a great idea. I’m trying to cook mostly with my Instantpot when we go on camping trips in our RV so I’m looking for more ideas.

Hi Julie! I'm glad you think so and I hope you'll give it a try - it's so flavorful and delicious! And so cool you bring the instant pot along on your camping trips!

I just made this for my meatless Monday dinner ... OMGEEE 😍🤤 so delicious and full of flavor. Thank you!

I just made this this week and oh my gosh it tastes exactly like what I'd get at a Chinese Restaurant for Takeout! I was amazed. I'm loving your cookbook so far! I just made the Pasta Primavera Alfredo today and it blew me away with how not vegan it tasted. My parents who consume dairy loved it!

Can’t wait to try this!! My goal is to make a new recipe from the cookbook each week. I think it will be a fun way to add some variety to my meal prep routine and discover a few new favorites!

I have your cookbook and tried so many recipes which all turned out flavourful and fantastic. However, never imagined this recipe could work in the Instant Pot. I hesitantly tried it this week and it is not only easy and quick but also tasted great ! It was so good, that I made it again yesterday using several leftover vegetables (cabbage, leeks, carrots, bell peppers, green onions) and it was perfect! This is fantastic, not only with broccoli 🥦

Aww thank you Gabriela! I am so happy to hear that. Thank you for the support on my book and your sweet comments. I always appreciate them!

This was super flavorful, although the tofu turned out a little mushy. Do you need to make sure the saute function is on hot? I think it was on normal which was the problem, either that or I didn't press the tofu long enough. Either way the sauce is great and I am really enjoying your cookbook!

From saute to pressure cook, do I need to turn off my pressure cooker in-between settings? I was on saute then pressed the “ pressure cook” it did not pressure cook lol

Do you prefer to use the 6 or 8 quart Instant pot for your recipes?

Looks delicious, looking forward to my book arriving :D But is this faster than using a pan/pot? My electrical pressure cooker takes 10-15 min to reach pressure so if this has to be done twice..But it is not an instant pot though

@RainbowPlantLife

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Kristine! Thank you! For this particular recipe, there’s very little liquid so it only takes a few minutes to come to pressure and then you do a quick pressure release (so you don’t wait after the timer is up). And then it takes only a few more minutes to come to pressure when you add the broccoli. In general, I love the instant pot not necessarily because it always shortens the actual time it takes to cook a meal, but because it’s so much more hands off. Once the food goes into the instant pot, you can kind of do your own thing, prep other food clean up the kitchen, deal with other things in life :-)

What size instant pot are you using? I have a 3 qt one

What would a good substitute be for the agave syrup?

Can Seitan be used instead tofu if so, marinade would still apply?

Which brand instant pot you are using and where to buy?

I wish your website had the calorie count in the recipes. It would help so much with meal planning.

Your Instant Pot is 6l or 8l? Thank you😘

I'm not sure if I missed it ,but I don't see the ratio of ingredients. Do you need to buy your book to get that and the video is a companion to the book?

I have this exact recipe bookmarked! Along with 30 other ones 😂 It's so hard to know where to start in your book because everything looks so freakin good!

Fantastic recipe share! Thank you so much. I love everything about this recipe EXCEPT siracha. Bro, there's so many better options.

I'm sorry to ask this basic question but won't this dish take ages to finish? I have an Instant Pot and after every time I realease the steam to put in some more ingredients (like the broccoli) it takes a lot of time to build the pressure up again. Any tips on how to avoid this? Because I would love to cook fast with it. Cheers

I don't have much experience with the 8 quart (sadly my small nyc kitchen is not the best place for it hehe). It feels like not enough liquid based on my research of the 8 quart pot. You could try adding a 1/4 cup of water to the sauce since the sauce is so flavorful, you might not notice a difference. Sorry I can't be of more help but if you try it out, let me know!

Ah I figured it out, you look like Halle Berry!

Where’s the ingredients please

I just did this recipe today. I used frozen broccoli florets instead of fresh and it came out fine. I served it with brown rice and garnished with chives and sesame seeds. Overall, everything tasted too salty. There wasn't any actual salt in the recipe so I think it was just too much liquid aminos. Also, sauteing and tossing the delicate tofu around was a bit challenging since it crumbles so easily. I prefer cooking tofu in the oven or air fryer that way the cubes don't fall apart and no oil is necessary. I LOVE all your recipes Nisha (whish is why I bought your book) but this one was not a fave. 🤷‍♀️

I love all your videos and the food is delicious. However I was do distracted by the loud piano music in the background I could hardly concentrate on what you were saying. I have never noticed this with any other of your videos.

I think there are certain recipes that don’t need to be done in an instant pot. Both tofu and broccoli are so quick to cook that watching you do this in an instant pot actually made it seem more complicated. I’m assuming these recipes are for students living in a dorm or have no stove.
