Nutritious Nibbles Gochujang soy curls

P E T RA C H ASE

ARTS & C U LT U R E E D ITO R

This recipe features two pantry staples you can throw into a pan or wok with vegetables anytime you’re craving a quick and tasty meal. Soy curls, which you can store for up to a year, are made of one minimally processed ingredient: nongenetically modified soybeans. A serving has 10 grams of protein. The crispy strips soften when soaked in a marinade and absorb flavours like a sponge, so they’re a versatile fresh palate for flavour. Gochujang is my go-to marinade since it’s sweet, umami, and spicy. The rich Korean paste consists of fermented soybean, chili pepper flakes, salt, and sticky rice.

Together with rice, these two make a reliable and delicious meal on their own. I’ve also included optional ingredients if you’re in the mood to elevate your cooking.

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 15–20 minutes (until crispy)

Optional: you can save the base of the bok choy stem (pictured) and submerge in shallow water by a window to propagate new leaves in a few weeks.

Ingredients (per serving) Core Ingredients: · 1 cup Butler soy curls (dry) · 3 tbsp gochujang · ½–1 cup bok choy and/or vegetable(s) of your choice · A small bowl of warm water · 1 tbsp cooking oil of choice · Serving of rice Optional: · A generous sprinkle of sesame seeds · 1–2 green onion stems (AKA scallions) · 1 clove of garlic (or as much as desired) · Kimchi (to serve) Equipment: · Frying pan or wok, knife, cutting board, strainer

Directions 1. Dissolve a tablespoon of gochujang in a bowl of warm water and add soy curls. Set a timer for 10 minutes.

2. While the soy curls soak, wash and cut bok choy into bite-sized strips. You can also cut other vegetables, such as broccoli, broccolini, bell pepper, or brussels sprouts for added protein.

Buy in-store or order soy curls online from Vegan Supply’s Vancouver and Surrey locations for $7.49 a bag, which yields up to eight servings. Most grocery stores carry gochujang in the international section, and Korean and Asian-owned grocery stores tend to carry a wider selection of brands.

3. If applicable, chop garlic and green onion into small pieces.

Separate white and light-green part of the green onion stalk from the darker green, which is more pungent when fresh and will be used for a garnish. For a more intense flavour, be sure to crush your garlic under the flat side of your knife before cutting.

4. After the soy curls have soaked, drain water from the bowl with a strainer. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of gochujang and mix to coat the soy curls.

5. Heat oil on high for 3 minutes, then bring heat to low.

Optional: add sesame seeds, garlic, and green onion to the frying pan. The sesame seeds release a toasty aroma and the onion and garlic aromatics enhance flavour.

6. Add soy curls and bok choy to the pan and fry on medium to low heat. Be sure to stay nearby and toss occasionally or adjust temperature, until the soy curls reach a desired crispness.

7. Serve with rice.

Optional: Garnish with green onion and eat with chilled kimchi, a tangy probiotic and Korean staple which promotes gut health.

CHARTING BOOKS

The StoryGraph: a revolution in book cataloguing All about the Black woman-owned book cataloguing platform SA IJE RUS I MOVI C I · STAF F W RI TE R

The StoryGraph is a free book cataloguing app that caters to every book-lover’s needs. If you’re new to using book apps to track your reading habits, this is a user-friendly space to start.

True to its name, the StoryGraph creates graphs and charts that illustrate a plethora of data-based variables, including linking books to your moods, likes and dislikes, and reading pace. It allows you to shelve and review books you’ve read, compile a digital to-read list, and browse books through a tailored algorithm. The visualizations of how your reading changes over time is useful for better understanding your reading habits and meeting reading goals.

Making the switch to the StoryGraph also provides an Amazon-free alternative to Goodreads. You can also import your Goodreads data to the StoryGraph (yes, you can do this!) and setting your reading preferences. The app’s AI technology weeds out themes or tropes you dislike, while honing in on

all the characteristics you love in a book to provide custom recommendations.

Founder and CEO Nadia Odunayo created the StoryGraph as a side project back in 2019. The software engineer said her favourite feature is the “Up Next Suggestions” feature, which provides “personalized recommendations for what to read next from [users’] to-read list based on a range of factors.”

Recommendations are not just based on your previous books, but also your current mood.

There are numerous other features, including joining reading challenges, and even customizing your own. You also have the ability to scan barcodes of books you find while at the bookstore or library and automatically save them to your library.

The built-in “did not finish” shelf is perfect for those books you just don’t know what to do with after getting only halfway

through. Even more, the StoryGraph allows you to round to half and even quarter stars when rating your reads, which lets you rate more precisely. Had I switched to StoryGraph sooner, I would have been able to avoid so much triggering subject matter thanks to upfront content warnings ranked from minor and moderate to graphic.

In Case You Missed It The everlasting effect of brilliant sampling: J Dilla’s Donuts

YIL D IZ SU BU K

·

SF U ST U D E N T

Sampling in hip-hop had been around since the early days of the genre, but producer J Dilla took it a step further and composed an album entirely through the use of sampling.

Donuts, released on Dilla’s 32nd birthday (February 2006), has become a staple in lofi hip-hop. The lofi hip-hop circuit has various live stations, filled with beats to relax and study to. There are a ton of artists who experiment with the genre today, but the pioneers of the genre include artists such as MF DOOM, Nujabes, and, of course, J Dilla.

J Dilla (James Yancy) was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1973.

His parents were musicians, and by the time he turned 11, he began making his own beats. His parents brought gospel, jazz, and classical influence into his life, which he would later apply to his hip-hop production. Since his early years, Dilla’s production has become influential and in-demand, and he’s collaborated with artists such as A Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, and Common.

Sampling in music refers to the process of taking a portion of one sound recording and reusing it as an element in a new recording or piece of music. Lofi hip-hop beats are sampleheavy, and are composed of vinyl crackles, laid-back drum patterns, ambient sounds, and minimalistic arrangements, creating a nostalgic and tranquil atmosphere. What’s special about Donuts is it’s made entirely from samples. All vocals, drums and melodies are rearranged, flipped, and fused together to comprise a wholly new track. On one of my favourite tracks, “Mash,” Dilla used three samples: “Golden

ILLUSTRATION: ALIYA NOURLAN / THE PEAK

Apples (Part II)” by Galt MacDermont, “Dance Contest” by Frank Zappa, and “Season of the Witch” by Lou Rawls. With just these three tracks, Dilla flipped, resequenced, altered, and fused the samples in a way no one else could. As a result, we get a track made up of a mellow piano sequence, minimalist drums that invoke ease, and chopped up vocals to add personality.

Dilla has handpicked various other tracks, ranging from neo-soul and jazz, to funk, hip-hop, and more, in his works.

With the use of an MPC 3000 (a classic drum machine and sampler), Dilla made his most definitive album. Before Donuts, Dilla had produced various other iconic hip-hop tracks, most notably including “Didn’t cha know” by Erykah Badu, “Runnin” by The Pharcyde and “Love is…” by Common.

Dilla sadly passed away three days after the release of Donuts, but his influence lives on through the souls of every loop, vinyl crack, and minimalist drum pattern we hear when we sit back and listen to something nostalgic and relaxing.

New Music

Dip into a real hell with Gadfly instead of imagining sham ones

KI MI A MAN SOU R I SFU STUD E NT

PHOTOS: GUDRUN WAI-GUNNARSSON / THE PEAK

A three-member punk rock band has been sending earthquakes throughout Vancouver’s metal scene, and they plan to release a new album this summer. Named after a book by Ethel L Voynich, Gadfly is an unlikely phenomenon that rose out of the smoke of resistance, spreading the ashes of doom metal, Persian metal, punk, and heavy rock onto the stage. Holding the Molotov, Homa Khoshnavas on lead vocals and guitar, along with Nigel Young on drums and vocals and Raine Menard on bass, have redefined the metal genre in the local scene.

“Like our last show at Red Gate, we sold out, and we didn’t think we would sell out. And also, people started singing with us, and I was like, ‘What the fuck? Who do you think we are?’” The two met Menard at LaSalle College on “band recording day” through Michael Foster, Menard’s music engineering instructor who’s worked with Gadfly on multiple occasions. After a jam session, Menard quickly filled up the vacant spot as Gadfly’s new bass player.

While Young tended to laundry in the background of the Zoom call, I inquired about the band’s genre-defying music.

Menard responded, “I really enjoy the instrument chemistry.

I think the basslines are so much fun, and it changes a lot — the songs are very dynamic for the most part [ . . . ] a lot of the time, there’s a lot going on, so it’s kind of hard to put it in a box and say it’s one genre.”

I’ve seen people trying to mimic the sounds in Farsi, and try to sing it, but fail really hard.

Gadfly brings a unique sensuality to metal. I’ve attended multiple shows over the past year, but most recently saw them perform in October at the Green Auto Body. As usual, it was a versatile night of moshing, grooving, and headbanging that compelled bodies to move in unholy ways.

The song “Spine Stabber” starts strong and heavy with its instrumental but then finds a sweet riff that seductively has you listening with your whole body. The stillness of the first verse and the drums captivate you. Then, all at once, you’re released into the darkness within. The band engulfs you in their flame, transforming the whole venue.

Granted they usually get likened to Black Sabbath, Khoshnavaz compared Gadfly’s sound to bands like Acid King, Jucifer, and Spoon Benders, and I would add Acid Mammoth, Windhand, and Hot Garbage to that list.

The origin of Gadfly goes back to Iran, where singing is forbidden for women. 16-year-old Khoshnavaz started an underground band with a different name, and her bandmates who were almost a decade older fired her over the age difference, eventually inspiring the song, “Rapture.”

After moving to Canada with new bandmates, Khoshnavaz released the EP Gadfly in 2021. While it was going well for the band, Khoshnavaz admitted that meeting Young changed things; the band found its sound, improved its stage presence, and started getting more recognition upon releasing their iconic album, Apranik, in 2022.

“No one cared at first, and then all of a sudden, everyone is starting to care,” Koshnavaz commented on the experience.

HOMA KHOSHNAVAS

According to Khoshnavaz, one of the reasons behind the “doomy” element of their music is the usage of Persian scales. “Phrygian is basically Shur in Iran, which is kind of like a mix of Persian and Arabic scales [ . . . ] but then you can also use Chahargah, which is another Persian scale you can use on western instruments, that I also use,” Khoshnavaz explained. We can expect some of these influences in the new album but not as prominent as before, and most songs, if not all, will be in English this time around.

“It still has a bit of the Persian tone, but not as much as the last album. Cause I feel like the last album [Apranik] was kind of my redemption for getting out of Iran finally [ . . . ] I’ve seen people trying to mimic the sounds in Farsi, and try to sing it, but fail really hard.”

Despite facing sickness, financial restrictions, and delays, Khoshnavaz and Young have been integrating their different songwriting methods for the LP, with psychedelic rock and faster tempos suited for moshing and dancing. Along with Menard, the band is experimenting with different mastering techniques for variety. Overall, they’re excited for the upcoming shows, and performing at new venues for bigger crowds. They’ve just released a new high-reverb single, “Influencer,” along with a music video for when you’re fed up with the facade of the status quo. As for the album, it’s expected to be released in the summer, but before then you can catch them opening for DZ Deathrays at The Pearl on March 20. Buy tickets on their website.

GRIT AND GLAMOUR

Let there be fashion in sports There’s no need to hide style to perform

PHOTO: SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON / INSTAGRAM

KA JA AN T I C · SPORTS W RI TE R

With her bright hair, long lashes, and stunning nails, Sha’Carri Richardson’s style is as flashy as she is. She told NBC during the 2021 US Olympic Track and Field trials she wanted the world to know she’s “that girl,” and she certainly was. Richardson won the women’s 100m race to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Unfortunately, she was controversially left off of the American track and field roster due to testing positive for marijuana following the Olympic trial events.

Nevertheless, Richardson set the women’s record for the 100m at the 2023 World Athletic Championships last August, winning gold with a time of 10.65 seconds. However, conversations about her performance seem to always be accompanied by comments about her racing appearance.

In particular, Richardson’s acrylic nails have been mentioned, likening the 23-year-old to former track star, Florence GriffithJoyner, or Flo-Jo as she’s commonly referred to as. Richardson has acknowledged the similarities between her and the threetime Olympic gold medalist, saying in a 2019 Instagram post, “Y’all love talking about my hair and my nails like the greatest woman to ever enter the game didn’t run in style.”

Richardson often changes her hair colour as well, noting it matches her mood. There’s probably no greater example of this than five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman. Regarded as one of the best rebounding forwards in NBA history, Rodman modelled many different hair colours over his years in professional basketball. The 1993–94 season was no exception.

While playing with the San Antonio Spurs, Rodman changed his look numerous times, all yielding varying results for the Spurs’ success. While he was blond, the Spurs went 35–14; while his hair was red, the team went 3–5.

Personal expression isn’t limited to just hair colour and nails.

Clothing and equipment play an important role in an athlete’s individuality. The Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto has an entire section dedicated to iconic goalie masks from the NHL and other competitions worldwide. As well, some skaters have worn custom skates during games.

Personal expression isn’t limited to just hair colour and nails. Clothing and equipment play an important role in an athlete’s individuality.

Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews has been one player to wear specialized skates, often for a charitable cause.

In December 2022, Matthews wore Christmas-themed skates in a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, later auctioning them off in support of SickKids, a children’s hospital in Toronto.

During the 2024 NHL All-Star Game, Matthews wore custom skates designed by Finn, a seven-year-old SickKids patient with cystic fibrosis.

Stepping off the ice and onto the court, Serena Williams is a legend in athletic self-expression. Williams has been a fashion icon for decades, entering the tennis scene in the mid-1990s with beaded braids and winning multiple 2018 US Open matches in a tutu. Williams and her older sister Venus have both

had memorable fashion on the court, including brightly coloured clothing and statement jewelry.

Williams has faced lots of criticism due to her deviation from tennis “traditions,” such as the elitist uproar surrounding her 2018 French Open “superhero” catsuit. French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli said the outfit would no longer be accepted, deeming it disrespectful to the game, even though Williams wore the catsuit to help increase blood flow and circulation due to health complications with blood clots.

Some have noted that the presumption Williams is “disrespecting” the game of tennis with her fashion choices has notes of racist microaggressions. Williams, who has won a record 23 Grand Slam titles, has been subjected to racist and sexist attacks on her fashion, physique, and character throughout her entire career.

Now retired from playing, she continues to be a legend in the world of athletics and athletic expression. Off the court, Williams was the first Black woman solo athlete on the cover of Vogue in 2015. She also attended two years in fashion school at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in preparation for releasing her own clothing line.

Athletic self-expression is important not only for the presentation of an athlete’s identity, but also for the confidence associated with self-expression that leads to winning ways. If you may still think otherwise, there are many NBA Championships, world championships, Grand Slams, Hart trophies, and many more accomplishments from athletes to disprove that they should be prohibited from expressing themselves on the playing field.

Canada women’s basketball team qualifies for 2024 Paris Olympics

Seven-time World Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton will be joining the Scuderia Ferrari racing team in 2025. Hamilton will be taking over for Carlos Sainz, whose contract with Ferrari is up at the end of the 2024 season. Hamilton will end the 2024 season racing with Mercedes. He’s won six of his seven titles (2008, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020) with Mercedes since joining the team in 2013.

FEBRUARY 1 BC Hockey League (BCHL) welcomes Alberta teams effective immediately On January 20, the BCHL announced mid-season that five teams from the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) would be joining the league for the 2024–25 season. In response, the AJHL cancelled the remaining games of the five defecting teams, prompting the BCHL to extend their membership to the AJHL teams earlier than expected. The five Alberta teams will continue to play each other for the remainder of the 2023– 24 season, with a winner being crowned to take on the BC league champion in a “year-end competition.” Following the season, the BCHL will be restructured, and possibly renamed, to account for the cross-province addition.

FEBRUARY 4 Vancouver to host seven matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Vancouver will host seven of Canada’s 13 World Cup matches. This includes five group stage matches and the first two knockout rounds (round of 32 and round of 16).

Taylor forced a playoff round against American Charley Hoffman after scoring three birdies on the 18th hole. He scored two more birdies in the suddendeath two-hole playoff round to earn his title.

FEBRUARY 11 Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl LVIII The Kansas City Chiefs became the first team to win backto-back Super Bowls since the New England Patriots in 2004. This was Kansas City’s third title in five years, earning conversations about a first-ever Super Bowl three-peat for the modern-day dynasty. 28-year-old quarterback Patrick Mahomes was named MVP for the third time after throwing the game-winning touchdown in overtime to give the Chiefs a 25–22 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Surrey’s Arshdeep Bains named Most Valuable Player (MVP) 23-year-old Arshdeep Bains was named MVP at the American Hockey League’s (AHL) All-Star Challenge in San Jose. Bains — a member of the Vancouver Canucks’ development team, the Abbotsford Canucks — scored two goals and three assists in the tournament, including the game-winning goal with 12.9 seconds left in the final game.

Bains currently has 39 points in 42 games for Abbotsford this season.
