Lechon Paksiw is a sweet and tangy Filipino dish made from leftover lechon or roasted pig. Usually, Filipinos serve roasted pig at parties and big gatherings. As popular lechon is to a lot of Filipinos, the host somehow still ends up with leftovers, and that’s when the host will make Lechon Paksiw. Paksiw is a process that means “cooked…
Squash and Long Beans in Coconut Milk
Every time my sister is in town, she has only one request. She would ask me to make”Ginataang Kalabasa at Sitaw“, or “Squash and Long Beans in Coconut Milk”. Over time, her request has become frequent and automatic that I don’t bother to ask her. Recently, we celebrated her birthday and sure enough, it was the vegan dish on the…
Roasted Tomatoes with Coconut Vinegar
Sometimes people ask me, “Is it hard to go vegan?”. They seemed baffled and amazed, presuming veganism is challenging and daunting at the same time. They would admire my work as “going the extra mile” to sustain my lifestyle. I was once in their shoes, so I rather not give them attitude and feel offended. Instead, I like…
Suman Moron for Valentines Day
The name itself is a conversation starter. After all, it sounds like you’re referring to “moron” as in “idiot” in the English language. Perhaps you could make it a clever way to break the ice on a date and have a good chuckle. Or to spite Valentines Day when it is not your preferred holiday. After all,…
Superfood Vegan Polvoron Recipe
“Super foods” used to be so foreign to me. Back then, I wouldn’t even touch hemp seeds, maca root powder, chia seeds, and the like with a ten-foot pole. I was sticker shock by the price! They’re usually double if not triple the price compared to other vegetables and fruits in season. I just didn’t understand what was…
HOLIDAY RECIPE: VEGAN CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES
When I think of the holidays, I dream of indulgent sweets like cookies and truffles. Maybe it’s the cold weather or the holiday spirit that puts me in the mood for them. What I’m not in the mood for is leaving the house to brave the cold, which is why I rather make my own truffles instead of…
Vegan Filipino: Pinakbet Stew
Pinakbet is a hearty Filipino stew made of vegetables like squash, eggplant, string beans, okra, and many more. It’s traditionally seasoned with onions, garlic, and bagoong or shrimp paste but you could also use soy sauce. It has a nice savory taste that pairs well with a side of rice-make it brown rice or quinoa…
Vegan Coconut Pie “Buko Pie”
The holidays wouldn’t be complete without pies-warm, sweet, filling pies. To change things up a bit from apple and pumpkin pies, I’ll be making and bringing Vegan Coconut Pie to the party. Vegan Coconut Pie or Buko Pie is a delicacy of Northern Philippines primarily in provinces like Laguna and Tagaytay. Its coconut goodness will…
Roasted Caramelized Kabocha Squash
Recently I’ve been into oven roasting everything, roasting kale, roasting brussels sprouts, and now roasting kabocha squash. I love that the process of roasting makes the vegetables taste sweeter and more charred, not to mention it’s also very simple to do. One of those “set it and forget it” type of cooking. Healthwise, I think…
Beer Battered Kang Kong Recipe
Kang kong is a semi aquatic plant that also goes by the name water spinach. The main difference from spinach is that water spinach has crunchy stems, which is great for a beer battered recipe. For my latest video recipe, I’m featuring just that: Beer Battered Kang kong. The recipe takes less than ten minutes to make which…
