We are experiencing some heavy rains on island these past few days. Which can only mean, we have cozier evenings inside. Hence, I’ve decided that for my next recipe, I’ll be recreating a family favorite which is ginataang kalabasa (or Filipino coconut squash stew). Three things to love about this recipe: it’s very…

Vegan Winged Bean Tempura
I’ve actually had this idea to make winged bean tempura the moment I tried it by itself – unflavored. Which was about 2 years ago. If you’ve never had winged beans, it is crunchy and has this sweet, slightly peppery, and starchy flavor to it. From where I live, in the island of…
Vegan Sisig
Sisig (see-sig) is a classic Filipino Kapampangan dish (or a dish that originated in Pampanga, Philippines – a region in Central Luzon). It is a delicacy, traditionally, made with pork often served on a sizzling plate and flavored with bird’s eye chili and calamansi (Philippine lime). The word sisig derived from sisigan which…
Lemongrass Tofu Stir Fry
I’m going to be very honest, this is my FAVORITE stir fry recipe that I’ve ever created. And I hope you would feel the same when you do make it; it’s super easy to prepare and it, absolutely, takes (almost) no time to make. Trust me, you’ll be done preparing it in a…
Vegan Malunggay Pandesal (Moringa Filipino Bread Rolls)
Two things: Pandesal, or rather pan de sal, is the national bread of the Philippines that’s toasted golden brown and coated in bread crumbs. Pandesal is often paired with coffee or hot chocolate in the morning for breakfast or as a midday snack. Secondly, malunggay (ma-loong-gai) leaves, or moringa leaves, are grown from…
Cheesy Eggplant & Kangkong Pasta (Vegan)
I try to make it a habit to buy local produce as much as possible and use it up with the type of food that I love. To me, I feel most accomplished when I am able to support local farmers and hit up small businesses for what my kitchen needs. There are…
Vegan Dumplings
I don’t blame you if you find homemade dumplings to be intimidating to make at home. Not going to lie, it sure is a process. And if you are finding yourself scrolling through the instructions thinking, “well I’m not going to do that,” let me tell you this: read it carefully and DO…
Mushroom “Carnitas” Tacos
I’m going to be completely honest here. Tacos, plant-based or not, are a process to make. It takes quite a number of preparations from choosing your base (tortilla), flavoring your “core protein”, to the choice of vegetables, the sauce and condiments, and the garnishes. But what makes a plant-based vegan taco much significant…
Tofu Banh Mi Sandwich (Vegan)
Over the years, banh mi sandwiches have become more popular in Westernized mainstream culture. This Vietnamese style sandwiches have had different takes in the foodie world from making banh mi-inspired burgers, salad bowls, and even pizzas. I cannot complain, if you ask me, it is my favorite sandwich. Ever. Bold statement but it’s…
Vegan Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta
It is comfort food season! Though, everyday, is an eat-your-feelings like of day. One of my favorite dishes to eat is PASTA! Now, if you are not a fan of pasta – if I am being completely honest – we probably cannot be friends (just kidding, we can still be friends, but I…
