Vegan Malunggay Moringa Milkshake

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sat, 01 Feb 2025 04:42:20 +0000

Here I go again with my malunggay/moringa recipes. This might be my last one for now, but I think I wanted to end my malunggay streak with a refreshment or even dessert. You’ve heard of malunggay latte, malunggay matcha, but have you heard of malunggay milkshake? Nope, not a smoothie—it’s a milkshake, a vegan...

Creamy Malunggay Pesto Pasta Recipe

RG @ Astig Vegan — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 02:55:55 +0000

Here I go again with malunggay. What can I say? A vegetable vendor gifted me a whole bunch, and I didn’t want them to go to waste, so I thought of different ways to use them in my cooking. Granted, malunggay pesto is not an original idea. Many have tried this before, but my version...

Pureed Malunggay Sauce, with Batter-Fried Tofu and Mushrooms

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 19 Jan 2025 02:23:07 +0000

Aside from the classic Filipino Tinola and Munggo soup, malunggay (or moringa) can be used in many other dishes. For those unfamiliar, malunggay is a leafy green native to Asia that grows abundantly in the Philippines. It’s a superfood that tastes peppery and zesty, and Filipinos usually put the leaves in soups. But that’s about...

Vegan Cheddar Cheese Spread Recipe (Simple and Easy!)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Tue, 08 Oct 2024 11:20:22 +0000

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)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 29 Sep 2024 01:57:17 +0000

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

RG @ Astig Vegan — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 01:49:16 +0000

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

RG @ Astig Vegan — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 02:55:15 +0000

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)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 12 May 2024 04:59:52 +0000

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

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 21 Apr 2024 00:42:56 +0000

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

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 28 May 2023 04:27:31 +0000

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...
