Essential Plant Proteins

Season 2 Episode 211 | 26m 46s

We are obsessed with protein. The question is, do we need as much as we think we need and do we need to eat animals to get it? We’ll talk plant proteins and how to cook them deliciously. Recipes include soba noodles with crispy seitan, fried tofu with black bean sauce on scallion pancakes and orange-balsamic tempeh over greens.
