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...

Vegan Banana Bread, Tablea Kasuy Flavor

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 01 May 2022 02:52:08 +0000

When you’re in a country that has the best bananas in the world, and you just got an oven, it only makes sense to bake banana bread. In fact, that was the first order of business when Chris and I finally got an air fryer oven. We finally gave in and bought one after a...

How to Make Maja Blanca Pudding with Latik Topping

RG @ Astig Vegan — Fri, 07 Dec 2018 19:04:13 +0000

If you grew up in the US, yellow corn might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of sweet desserts. But if you grew up in Asia including the Philippines, you’ve probably had yellow corn in your icy drinks, sweet pudding, ice cream, and pastries. If you come to think...

Vegan Filipino Macaroni Salad

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 11 Jun 2017 17:19:34 +0000

Compared to the Italian, Mediterranean, and other versions, Filipino Macaroni Salad is the sweeter and heartier counterpart. If it’s up to me, I would eat a whole bowl as entree and dessert (and I have). There’s something irresistible in the creamy elbow macaroni, sweet and tender pineapple, and savory touch of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. But...

Vegan Filipino Chicharon, Two Ways

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 23 Apr 2017 06:14:42 +0000

Vegan Filipino Chicharon is a fun little snack that has dried shiitake mushrooms coated in rice flour and sweet rice flour then deep-fried. Another way to make it is by deep-frying dried yuba skin. You could serve vegan Filipino Chicharon as a snack, appetizer, or party food. For best results, I suggest serving them with spicy vinegar...

Last-Minute Valentines Day Gift: Vegan Rocky Road Bites

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 01:49:03 +0000

For me, inspiration comes from everywhere. Sometimes, I get inspiration from non-vegan things, like a Valentines Day recipe from the Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Funny thing is, I wasn’t a big fan of Martha Stewart until I became vegan. And you know that Martha Stewart is far from being vegan. But I guess it’s her love...

Putobumbong – Newly Improved Recipe

RG @ Astig Vegan — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 23:59:04 +0000

Because everyone is feeling the holiday spirit (I know I am!), I’m featuring something classic and quintessential where I came from. Back in the Philippines, the holiday season won’t be the same without Putobumbong, a sweet rice cake coated in grated coconut, slathered with butter, and served with muscovado and brown sugar. Putobumbong in the...

Vegan Bibingka Espesyal Recipe + Giveaway

RG @ Astig Vegan — Fri, 02 Dec 2016 06:53:35 +0000

In case you couldn’t tell from the video I’m about to show you, I was what millenials call, “fangirling”. Yesterday, I was able to talk and cook vegan Filipino food with my idol, vegan pioneer, Miyoko Schinner at Miyoko’s Kitchen. For me, it was like baking with the vegan Julia Childs – live! Together, we baked a special...

Achuete Oil and Other Food Gifts for the Party Host

RG @ Astig Vegan — Tue, 22 Nov 2016 07:45:36 +0000

Is it just me or is 2016 flying by so fast? I couldn’t believe that the holiday season is almost here -again! While the holidays may be a bit stressful at times, I do like the spirit of gift-giving. One thing I learned is that even though the host insists you don’t cook or bring anything to the party, you should...

Minatamis na Saging (Sweetened Saba Bananas)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 24 Jul 2016 07:10:09 +0000

You can find banana trees almost everywhere in the Philippines. Most often than not, you’ll see them on the streets, backyards, commercial spaces, and of course at banana farms and plantations. Banana trees in the Philippines are what lemon trees are in California. I guess that’s why the Philippines is one of the leading global exporters of...
