LEARN HOW TO MAKE AN EASY LEBANESE INSPIRED ZA'ATAR RICE RECIPE WITH ONLY ONE PAN!
LAY HO LAY HO! There's only one thing more comforting than a beautiful bowl of flavourful rice - the fact that only one pan is required ;) Join me in this episode and learn how to make a deliciously easy Lebanese inspired za'atar rice recipe today!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup pine nuts
1 cup basmati rice
100g extra firm tofu
1 tbsp avocado oil
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp dark soy sauce
3 pieces garlic
1 red onion
1 green chili
1 tomato
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp za'atar
1 tsp sweet paprika
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups water
5-6 slices lemon
1/3 cup chopped parsley
pickled turnips to serve
Directions:
1. Heat up a nonstick pan to medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast for 3-4min. Then, set them aside
2. Rinse and drain the basmati rice 2-3 times to get rid of the excess starch. Then, set aside
3. Pat dry the extra firm tofu with a paper towel and place into a bowl. Crumble the tofu with a fork
4. Heat the pan back to medium heat. Add the avocado oil followed by the tofu. Sauté for 4-5min
5. Add the soy sauce and dark soy sauce. Sauté for another 2-3min. Then, set aside
6. Finely chop the garlic, red onion, and green chili. Dice the tomato
7. Heat the pan back to medium heat. Add the olive oil followed by the red onions and green chili. Sauté for 2-3min
8. Add the garlic, za'atar, and sweet paprika. Sauté for about 1min. Add the rice, diced tomato, and a pinch of salt. Sauté for another minute
9. Add the crumbled tofu and water. Give the pan a good mix
10. Arrange the lemon slices on top of the rice and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium low and cover and cook for 15min. Then, turn the heat off and let the rice steam further for 10min
11. Remove the lemon slices. Add the pine nuts and half of the chopped parsley to the rice. Gently fold over the rice to combine
12. Plate the rice generously. Sprinkle with a little bit more parsley and serve with some pickled turnips

LAY HO LAY HO 👋🏻 here’s another one pan recipe for the win 🥳 if you’re new to the channel here, welcome! I’m glad you’re here. Be sure to check out and watch the first entire class of the plantbased sushi masterclass on our website here www.yeungmancooking.com happy cooking 🙌🏻
Can the pine nuts be replaced with a different nut? Or left out?
Could you please make a video on a vegan rice and beans recipe??? :)
Please rice and beans recipes 🤗
Thank you. I will definitely watch the entire class. I’ll report back!😀
@@sharon-qc3gn maybe another high fat nut like macadamia or equivalent would be best.
Oh my goodness, I made it and I cannot describe how yummy it turned out! Like seriously restaurant quality, I just believe how awesome! I didn’t have pine nuts so I just toasted some sesame seeds instead and I used broth instead of water. We ate it with homemade tzatziki, pita and cucumber slices and that went it so so well. Definitely going to be making this again! Thank you SO much for sharing this amazing recipe!!
🤤👨🏻🍳👌🏻
lovely tasty vegan recipe
thank you! only,
zaatar is not oregano, it is called hyssop and reminds oregano.
the blend is also called zaatar and includes: sesame, salt,olive oil and often also soumak.
lovely spice we mainly eat with bread and olive oil.
i love your kitchen and the beautiful clean and silent way you cook,
you are an inspiration. 🌱
Looks beautiful 😍 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
🏴🏴🏴
🙋🏻♂️
Thank you!!
I never thought I would see zaatar with rice. Very interesting combination. I have some zaatar that dad brought for me from Palestine the last time he visited, I am definitely trying this.
👨🏻🍳👌🏻
Everyone’s comments about how fabulous your dishes are, in methods, ingredients and taste, is exactly how I feel. Made your toasted sesame noodles last week and they were, needless to say, just fabulous! Since we do like Za’atar, this is going to be my dish for this coming Wednesday.
When a recipe is easy to assemble and implement, AND affords the cook his or her, own variations, you know the recipe is from a very knowledgeable and confident Master chef, whose passion is to share the joy of cooking and tasting with all. ❤
Thank you, Wil!
I always appreciate how you always have such respect for your ingredients & food in general, taking the time to appreciate the pine nuts & refer to them as amazing. Your videos are almost like a prayerful meditation
Prayerful meditation. That is the best description. I'll watch sometimes just to get my brain to, "calm down."
Wil you inspire me to cook and discover new ingredients. Found you because of your amazing ramen recipes and now find myself going to the Asian market every weekend. My mom gets very excited when I tell her I'm trying other of your recipes...or the "absolute confidence guy" recipes as she calls you.
Your video format is beautiful and sometimes I just want to cook only to the songs you play in the background. I'm wondering if you could make a Spotify list!
You are too kind and it is my pleasure to be cooking together 👨🏻🍳🙌🏻 We have yet to explore a music playlist option. All music we use in episodes are licensed from Soundstripe. Happy cooking and keep well 😊
I love how organised that cupboard is… I need to go and organise my kitchen now ❤️
I feel so ashamed! 😅
Absolutely amazing and I love it when you say 'Plate generously'. Exactly how it should be done 😁.
😎🙌🏻
This looks so flavorful and thankfully I have pine nuts on hand. I made your lentil/veggie soup last night and it was yummy. I loved your comment about it being a "special occasion when we cook together"! Appreciate you and your recipes 🥰
You and your dishes are wonderful. I have not tried this one yet, but it’s on my list. Thank you for making vegan cooking so fun, accessible, and delicious.
🙌🏻😎
Extra appreciation for the toasted pine nuts!
So fragrant, delicious, and not to mention a treat to eat 😋🙌🏻
I am really considering going Vegan!....The food looks so delish and HEALTHY!!!
I love the organization in that cabinet😧😱
You will never regret giving up meat. I've been vegetarian for almost 40 years. Don't miss it, and I can't bear to watch videos of how animals are treated. I used to fish and butcher my own chickens, but couldn't do it anymore. That's why I gave it up. I do eat my neighbor's "happy chicken" eggs. His hens are so spoiled. Ha!
You will love it and never look back!

@@mfcabrini AGREED! At 64 , I feel like I am 34....SO much energy every day...ZERO aches/pains!
Once you feel the positive results, you won’t want to go back.
Had this package of Za'atar for quite some time in my cabinet and didn't know really what do do with it aside from eating it with oil and bread. Finally tried that recipe and well, it's really good. The pine nuts do make this dish, I think. It's that little extra that elevates the recipe to greater heights. So good. Oh, and I even used chili oil to fry some broccolini that I added instead of tofu... chili oil fits anything. Learning from the best 😅
🥦🌶👌🏻🥳 sounds drool worthy!
Yeung Man you are simply incredible, your style of making recipe-videos are super effective on viewers mind, it is so freaking mind-blowing how you never fail to describe each of your ingredients how you are tasting them as well after the fantastic cooking session.
While trying out the final taste, you never forget even a small insignificant side ingredient like onion or garlic or lemon slices or spring onion and superbly describing every ingredients importance through your tasting time as well. You deserve all the praise and in my mind not only you are a great chef you are great presenter and an awesome human being.
When you make your recipes, serve on a stunning low-bowl then eventually taste that dish, I feel that I am going through that whole journey with you. Thanks for transporting us to your beautiful cooking world🤩😋❣️❣️❣️👏👍
Wow! Those are such kind words and I truly am humbled 🤗 It is a pleasure to be cooking together - keep well 👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
Beautiful!!! And pickled turnips!!! Yes!
🙌🏻
I work in a Greek restaurant. We use basmati rice. I lightly fry the raw rice with aromatics in olive oil . Now this is where I differ in technique/ratios. I add 1 1/3 cup of liquid to 1 cup of rice (slightly less water than you). I also add oil, which again I didn’t see in this presentation. Bring to boil for 2-3 minutes, use a rubber spatula to dislodge any rice that might want to stick on the bottom, then turn off heat and tightly cover.
I don’t have a specific time to let this steam. It actually stays at serving temperature for a couple of hours, and DOESN’T get “mushy”! Perfect separated fluffy grains. This rice is excellent, as is, or can stand up to reheating in a sauté pan for dishes like “spanacorizo” with spinach and plaki’ (tomato-based) sauce.😊 Definitely will try a version of this with Za’atar
One of the few occasions where I have every single ingredient! Thanks for the inspiration & the amazing recipe! Toasted pine nuts are absolutely magical 😊 and your puns always make me smile!!!
ZA'Atar - essentially equal measures of dried Thyme, Oregano, Sumac and Toasted Sesame seeds. Other variations exist - some have a little wheat, a little salt or made to taste. eg: I have added a little ground smoked chilli to my ZA'Atar which I sprinkle over poached eggs. Occasionally either the Thyme or Oregano maybe swapped out for / with Marjoram. Fab recipe Will 🙂
👨🏻🍳👌🏻 so fun trying out different variations - they are all so delicious!
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING combine enough ZA'Atar with olive oil to form a paste - smear over pizza base and apply toppings as desired 🙂
I love to watch you describe the recipe and share the ingredients I never heard about it with such knowledge. I appreciate you sharing your great cooking skills
Rice is my favorite food, very nice recipe!!! I can't wait to taste it tonight... Thank you
🥳🥳🥳
This was sooo delicious, and so easy to make. Didn't miss meat at all!
Thank you so much
I'm vegetarian so I would love to try this dish I'm sure it tastes amazing 😀
👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
Wil must be a perfectionist in everything he does 🤩💪❤️
Za'atar.. Za'atar 😍💃🏻
😎
Me looking at your spice cupboard: 😯😯
I’m so glad I’ve found this channel! Your dishes look amazing!
🙌🏻
Tried this at the weekend - so tasty. Wonderful combination of flavours. Never heard of za’atar before so a new experience 👍
Came for the puns 😆 and stayed for great recipes👍🏾
😎😎😎
Another week, another Yeung Man recipe I‘ll cook. Love the addition of Tofu crumble, such an easy way to add some protein. Zatar is is one of my favorite spice mixes, my favorite use so far would be in a salad dressing with lemon and Tahini. I’d probably add a sweet component to the rice, like dates, dried apricots or raisins (sorry 😅) and some more veggies like oven-roasted Harissa cauliflower or a Tahini dip. (I really hope I‘m not offending peeps here).
Had the lentil rice last week and it‘s been a great addition to my collection of recipes. It’s great to see your channel grow!
Love the idea of dates or dried fruit, roasted cauliflower and/or tahini!
Cool 😄
Cauliflower is really a treat. Recently i tried it with a mix called ethiopan dekus. Just mix it with olive oil and dekus or za‘atar for that matter with cauliflower in a bowl, place in on a tray and let it roast in the oven at 220 Celsius for round about 15 minutes. Lovely with hummus or the recipe in the video
Going to have to make this. I'm thinking about this week. The sooner the better.
🙌🏻🥳
This recipe is keeper in our house. It tastes SO good! You got to try it. I am sure that you will like it.😁
Thank you so much for sharing your many delicious and easy to cook vegan recipes here! We are really appreciate you! ❤️🙏
Happy to be cooking together and to hear you are enjoying 🥳🙌🏻
THIS I have to try!!
❤Greetings from Vienna(Austria)

Love the slow motion in your videos
You are the only one who does this!
So relaxing🌀
🤗
Oh man, you had me at 'toasted pine nuts'. Adding this one to my list of Favs!!! THANK YOU!!
🥳🥳🥳
For the Record- this creation looks delicious 🤤!
As always fascinated by Will’s 🔪🔪prowess..Can’t wait to try this 😋😋
👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
You're so masterful in the kitchen ma sha Allah
Your recipes are always amazing.
I love za'atar. In Israel it is added to olive oil and used to dip pita or bagels. Mmmm. I will definitely try this recipe, minus the chili pepper, as I can't eat hot, spicy anymore. I think it will be good with roasted red pepper. Pickled turnip (or even pickled beets) is a nice touch. I love your recipes. They are as good for old ladies as for Yeung men! ;~D
🤤 yummm!
I find it strange that the Israelis would use such ingredients as Zaatar something that means nothing in Hebrew. So they took over the Palestinian land and their food as well! That’s quite cheeky, don’t you think? The pickled turnip you describe is so indigenous to Palestine and Lebanon. That’s what i discovered during my study abroad year at the American University of Beirut. These countries have a millennial history, unlike Israel an invented colonial country that is barely 75 years .
Another good one Wil. I made a couple changes adding mushrooms in the early stage the once I removed the pan from the heat added a bunch of fresh spinach to wilt and add some more green. Keep up the great content!
🥳🙌🏻👨🏻🍳
Wil thank you for sharing with us your amazing amazing gift for teaching. Do you use tempeh? I’d love to see you work your magic with this ingredient.
Like everything else you make, it looks amazing
Love za’atar! This recipe is a winner!
👨🏻🍳👌🏻
Just finished making it! Excellent recipe, Wil! 😋
🥳🥳🥳
@@YEUNGMANCOOKING actually, it’s addictive!!! With hot Indian mango pickle, or an eggplant-tomato chili 🌶 🌶🌶 I make which is very spicy, this is the bomb! Btw - I share your recipes and channel with various friends and family members around the world! 😍
Love the colours. Looks delish 😋
🙌🏻
I’m from UAE .. ur recipes are amazing .. can’t believe that it’s all vegan .. simply awesome CHEF
Looks so delicious. Will try
🥳🙌🏻
Wow..listening to the way you describe food so deeply with passion, shows in your work! 👏👏👏this looks so absoloutely delicious..you are so neat and organised..love your spice cupboard too! Greetings from South Africa!
😊
I just made it. So delicious! I used twice the amount of tofu and that worked very well. The pickled turnips I couldn't find, so I replaced them with cucumber.
👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
Making this tonight!
🥳🙌🏻
The looks so dang good!!! 😯
😋🙌🏻
Your videos are a piece of art.
🤗
Your description for the dish and its ingredients is like writing a poem 😎
🤗
Graceful cooking with confidence From Trinidad and Tobago
It is Easter and a time for reflection in our household. We have decided to do without meat at this time and have tried most of your tofu recipes. This recipe is a winner. The crumbled and well sautés tofu flavoured and coloured with
Soya sauce, gave the dish a texture that felt pleasing to my palate.
I am really looking forward to making this recipe. BTW, there are a number of za'atar recipes on the net. I went for the one from 'Feasting at Home', as it is Sylvia's Egyptian dad's recipe.
Great recipe!
First time I had Zaatar was in Lebanon during my study abroad year, just loved it! We’ve never had it in Norway! But now it’s becoming so popular and Lebanese/ Middle Eastern food is becoming more and more appreciated.
Only because I love lemon so much, I would slice up the whole lemon to absorb all of the wonderfulness of the lemon!
🤤🙌🏻
I can't wait until I make this, this looks so delicious. I wrote down this recipe. Thank you😁 keep making delicious and wonderful food 🌹
🥳🥳🥳
this was a lot better than i thought it would be. i added a little bit more lemon juice to it and swapped cilantro for the parsley but was still amazing. i might try lentils instead of tofu next time to get something a little closer to mujadara.
👨🏻🍳🙌🏻
I must try this recipe one of these days. Looks too yummy and ofcourse healthy
This is my favorite dish of 2022!
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
There is something about your voice, its so good!
We made this tonight and it was incredible! Thank you!
