If you get into an argument with another vegan, is it still called beef?
No, I haven’t gone vegan. There’s no way I have the patience for that kind of dietary commitment. A few years ago my son, who was in high school at the time, wanted to give a vegan diet a try.
Bruh.
Adjusting my menus to accommodate his restrictions, or make dishes just for him, was exhausting. It made me realize how truly fortunate I am that no one in my household has any food allergies so I can cook whatever I want.
So why today’s vegan fries? It’s only because I came across this recipe and thought it looked cool and different. It was a really fun way to jazz up fries with very little effort and without really having to buy any special ingredients.
Vegan Korean Fries With Avocado
Ingredients:
26 oz vegan-friendly frozen French fries (I used Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Fast Food French Fries)
300ml almond milk
1 ½ tablespoons cornflour mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water until smooth
½ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp onion salt
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 avocado
1 lime, juiced and zested
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup crispy onions, plus more for serving
1/4 cup pickled jalapeños
Sriracha sauce, to drizzle (This brand is vegan)
Directions:
1. Bake the fries according to package instructions.
2. Heat the almond milk, cornflour mixture, cayenne pepper, onion salt and nutritional yeast in a saucepan over a low heat. Stir continuously until thick then beat in the oil and season with salt and pepper.
3. Peel the avocado. Cut the flesh into wedges and drizzle with lime juice.
4. Put the sesame seeds and crispy onions in a bowl. Dip the avocado wedges in to coat.
5. Arrange the fries on a serving plate and pour the sauce over them. Add the coated avocado wedges, plus the extra crispy onions for added crunch. Sprinkle dish with jalapeños and drizzle with sriracha to taste.

This catchy little tune brings me such joy when I listen. It’s brand new from Vancouver-based band Frog Eyes.
I adore how they sing ‘make me’ as “Make-a-me”.
“People always make me afraid.”
Check out Frog Eyes on Bandcamp where you can buy their music.
Cheers!
