Vegan Kimchi Fried Rice
Now, if you’ve been following my recipes on a regular occasion, you’d probably have seen my vegan kimchi recipe published a few days ago and the step-by-step guide of how to ferment at home. Maybe, you’re stuck with a jar of kimchi and unsure what to do with it? Well, when in doubt,…

Whether you need a cost-effective pantry recipe or would do anything to avoid instant noodle for a meal (like myself), Japchae is one of the easiest recipes that you can make from home – perfect for families and meal preps for an entire week that is easy on the budget and accessible ingredients….
Vegan Kare-Kare (Filipino Peanut Stew)
One of the earlier recipes that I made for The Earth Kitchen was about two years ago and my co-creators and I , at that time, were craving the ultimate Filipino comfort food goodness – it’s kare-kare or pronounced as kar-eh kar-eh. It is a Filipino peanut stew traditionally served with oxtail and,…
Crispy Asian Marinated Tofu (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I’ve had my fair shares of flavoring tofu for my home cooked meals. I think the challenge, for me, is how to properly marinate (or season) tofu in order for it to come to life in flavor. I love tofu, it is tasty, and I think it’s one of the best staples to…

Brunch Vegetable Fritters
If you ask me what my favorite meal of the day is, I’m going to have to go with brunch. I love the fact that I get to eat hearty breakfast meals during an early lunch hour – the best things in life are life hacks and, my friend, brunch is a life…
Tofu Kelaguen (Vegan)
There is no other dish that would complete a Guam fiesta, or festivity, without bringing in the kelaguen (keh-la-gwen) to serve. Kelaguen is a CHamoru dish that is often an appetizer during special occasions or barbecues. Kelaguen is based on the “cooking” property of lemon juice, whereby raw or barbecued meat is “cooked”…
The Tastiest Potato & Leek Soup
Let’s talk soup. I’m a total fanatic of a creamy soup – something that would resemble a chowder. I remember how I used to devour a good chowder every weekend with salty crackers. My parents both had full time jobs and had almost no time to prepare a great lunch meal for me…
