00:01 If you've just joined us on Cook:30 for Kids,
00:03 we're cooking up a storm in the kitchen today. 00:06 We have Zander and Caitlin from Tennessee 00:09 and on the menu we have...? 00:11 Omega Asian tofu and sweet potato salad 00:13 with cashew aioli. 00:15 And a cherry berry banana smoothie. 00:18 Doesn't it sound yummy? 00:20 Things are going well 00:22 so if you wanna get the kumara sorry, sweet potato, 00:25 kumara is what they call in my country, New Zealand. 00:27 Sweet potato out of the oven, that'd be great. 00:29 And I'm gonna add some flavorings 00:31 to this wonderful tofu dish, 00:33 so if you wanna throw in some honey, 00:35 just a drizzle of honey, it's great. 00:41 Now they will come through, 00:42 just give it a squeeze in there. 00:44 Lovely. It's great, keep going. 00:47 So probably around about a tablespoon of honey. 00:49 Put in some tamari or soy sauce. 00:53 So you can use either one of this, 00:55 just gives a nice saltiness, 00:56 the honey give us some sweetness. 00:58 So give it a little bit of squeeze over. 01:02 Lovely, just bit more, bit more, 01:05 so it's gonna sizzle a bit. Cool. 01:07 Give it a bit of a stir 01:09 and add some sesame seeds as well. 01:11 Just gonna sprinkle out there some sesame seeds. 01:16 And I'm also gonna put on some lemon juice as well. 01:21 And we just gonna squeeze over 01:23 some lemon juice through my fingers, 01:24 give it a little bit of a stir around. 01:26 And that will make this tofu taste amazing. 01:30 So just probably add one table of lemon juice 01:32 and that'll be great. 01:33 Look at that, so we can tune that down now. 01:36 Just give it a quick stir 01:38 and I will put this in here shortly. 01:40 So now we're gonna make a cashew and lime aioli. 01:44 Do you know what aioli is? No. 01:46 It's kind of like a dressing with garlic effectively, 01:49 and most dressings use things like lots of oils 01:52 and lots of egg yolks and things, 01:53 but this is an aioli that's made of cashew nuts. 01:56 Sounds yummy? Yes. 01:57 So if you wanna measure a cup and a half of cashew nuts 02:00 in a blender. 02:01 Sorry.

The smoothie, yes. 06:06 So we'll just use another blender. 06:08 So if, you guys, wanna use, we're gonna use some berries 06:09 from the fridge and the milk and we can start the smoothie. 06:15 Have a quick tidy up here, 06:17 it's always good to keep a nice tidy counter. 06:23 So making a smoothie is really easy, 06:25 once you've made one they're really, really good. 06:28 So, Zander, if you can just put some berries in, 06:31 so probably around about a cup of berries each, 06:33 so get you a little serving cup that you can put them in. 06:37 So got a cup each. 06:39 And if you can grab two bananas from over there and peel them 06:41 and throw them in as well. 06:43 So all it is to make a smoothie is just putting fruit 06:46 and some milk into a blender. 06:49 And frozen fruit is really good 06:50 because it gives a really nice kind of icy taste 06:53 and it's very nice and thick, 06:54 just probably pour it out into the cup will be easiest. 06:57 And we're using blueberries and cherries today, 07:01 but you can use any kind of fruit that you want. 07:03 The banana adds a lot of thickness 07:05 and little bit of sweetness as well. 07:07 Yep, throw that in. Nice one. 07:10 You got them all in the cup, well done. 07:13 Yep, just put them in like that. 07:15 So two bananas, two cups of berries. 07:22 And I'll put the milk in, so any milk that you want, 07:25 I'm using almond milk today. 07:27 So put around about half of almond milk in. 07:32 You may have to adjust the amount of liquid you put in 07:35 because sometimes that may end up 07:37 being too thick or too thin. 07:38 We get out there. Oh, lovely, perfect. 07:40 Look at those beautiful cherries. 07:43 Okay, put the lid on 07:47 and press the go button. 07:48 Ready?
