With vegan cheese, you must either buy an expensive one or make one with expensive ingredients. Not to mention, it might not be good (unless you’re already familiar with the brand). Hence, I’m thrilled to share a version that’s way cheaper than other recipes that call for cashews, nutritional yeast, and other fancy ingredients. Here…
Vegan Peach Mango Pie Recipe (updated version)
I may be biased, but I think the Philippines has the best yellow mangoes; they’re butter-soft, very sweet, and not as fibrous as their other mango counterparts. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks this because I learned that the yellow “carabao” mangoes of the Philippines are recognized as the sweetest in the Guinness…
Vegan Pancit Molo Recipe
At first look (especially if you’re unfamiliar with Filipino food), one might assume that pancit molo is a noodle dish. But, contrary to what the name implies, it’s not your typical pancit –at all. For example, there’s pancit Bihon (arguably the most popular), Palabok, Malabon, Luglug, Canton, Puso, and so on. Although slightly…
Vegan Paella Recipe (Arroz de Vegan) AstigVegan Style
Some recipes simply make you feel lazy. Their steps are daunting, even scary, and the ingredients seem like a headache to find at the store. I think that’s why most people prefer quick and easy recipes with usually ten ingredients or less, including water and salt. But once in a blue moon, I encounter a…
Vegan ala King (cross between Chicken ala King and Pastel)
Funny enough, it wasn’t until recently that I learned about the dish Chicken Ala King. It’s a creamy, savory dish with minced chicken and vegetables, and sounded very close to another creamy dish called Pastel, except Pastel is more festive and complicated. When I was a kid, my mom would make Pastel with ingredients like…
Filipino Vegan “Beef” Nilaga Soup
After having lived in the US for at least twenty years, I wondered (and forgot) why anyone in the Philippines would want to have a hot bowl of soup when the weather there is always sweltering, tropical, and humid. Sometimes, you would start sweating right after you get out of the shower! Yet, Filipino soups…
Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup
Cream of Mushroom has always been my go-to order at Max’s Restaurant, a popular Filipino restaurant in the Philippines. Back then, Max’s was still somewhat fine dining, with white linen table cloth, waiters wearing formal uniforms, and food that seemed should be ordered in courses. My dad brought us here as a special treat almost…
Vegan Embutido Recipe
What is embutido? Embutido is a Filipino dish that’s a meatloaf, except it’s shaped into a log. Like meatloaf, it has all kinds of fillings like vegetables, eggs, sausages, and cheese. If that sounds like a complicated dish, that’s because it is, and you usually spot it only during special occasions like Christmas. Embutido…
Melon Cooler Vegan Samalamig (Less than 6 ingredients) (Ready in 15 minutes)
Melon Cooler is a drink you can always keep handy in your fridge when you feel like giving yourself a treat or when you have guests over. It’s a crowd-pleaser perfect for parties, potlucks, and other get-togethers. Another great thing about it is it only takes less than 15 minutes to make and requires only…
Vegan Samalamig – Sago’t Gulaman Recipe (Tapioca Pearl & Jelly Drink)
Before the milk tea craze, there was the simple sago’t gulaman. It’s very popular, especially in Asian countries. In the Philippines, we include sago’t gulaman as part of our “Samalamig,” or refreshment. As you might know, it gets super hot in the Philippines, and we Filipinos had to beat the heat somehow, especially during summer….
