My friends and I shot this episode months ago in the Philippines and I had almost forgotten about it. Both the journey back to the states and the community quarantine preoccupied my mind.

Vegan Dinuguan, Updated and improved recipe (with video)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 02:25:05 +0000

Dinuguan is a blood stew that may seem unappetizing but reveals to be surprisingly tasty and flavorful. It was one of the dishes that I missed when I became vegan. Back then, I would get slightly offended when someone would say they don’t like Dinuguan because it’s gross. Of course, now that I’m vegan and...

Young Jackfruit in Coconut Milk, Ginataang Langka

RG @ Astig Vegan — Thu, 18 Oct 2018 03:33:45 +0000

Coconut milk dishes in Filipino cuisine are usually either sweet or savory. Interestingly, both versions are named the same way. The first word is usually “Ginataang ” which means “in coconut milk,” and the second word is the main ingredient. For example, “Ginataang Langka” is “Young Jackfruit in Coconut Milk” and it’s savory but “Ginataang...

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...
