Mindful Meals with Dr. Rak
Mindful Meals with Dr. Rak
A whole-food, plant-based, Thai-inspired feast. No oil. No fish sauce. Just real ingredients, treated with care. We cooked it live, and the recipes live on.
Four recipes, one cook-along. Bright, bold, and built from whole ingredients, no oil, no fish sauce, no shortcuts.
Tamarind, date sugar, miso, and dulse, the umami base that ties the whole dish together. No fish sauce needed.
Oil-free crispy tofu glazed in a fragrant Thai basil sauce. The baking-soda soak is the trick that gets it crispy with zero oil.
Shredded cabbage, mandarin segments, cilantro, and a creamy peanut dressing. Crunchy, bright, and ready in ten minutes.
Fresh peach, plum, nectarine, and mixed berries rolled in rice paper with a glossy lime ginger dipping sauce.
Flat rice noodles tossed in the sauce, topped with the crispy basil tofu, finished with crushed peanuts, scallions, Thai basil, and a generous squeeze of lime.
Mindful Meals is not a cooking class. It's a live cook-along with Dr. Rak, a board-certified Lifestyle Medicine physician, where we slow down, cook together, and use food as a way to take care of ourselves and the people we love.
The Thai-Riffic recipe guide teaches the techniques that make oil-free, whole-food, plant-based Thai food taste incredible, the baking-soda tofu soak, the umami swap that replaces fish sauce, the syrup-not-sugar rule for cold sauces.

Dr. Rak Jotwani ("Rock") is a board-certified Lifestyle Medicine and Internal Medicine physician, founder of RAK Your Life, and co-host of The Health Feast podcast.
He reversed his own prediabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure through the same whole-food, plant-based approach he now teaches. He runs Mindful Meals because he believes cooking is one of the most powerful, undervalued medicines we have.
This isn't a chef's show. It's the kind of cooking a physician does when he gets home and wants to feed his family well.
