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...

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...

Vegan Calamari (Astig 2.0)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 07:00:23 +0000

I thought vegan Calamari would be perfect to eat at a game night – the NBA Finals Game 7 to be exact. I was ready with my ingredients and ready to make vegan Calamari for my family. But time flew by especially because the game was on the same day as Father’s Day and we took our dad...

RG @ Astig Vegan — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:01:29 +0000

Vegetable Lumpia vs Lumpiang Shanghai In Philippine cuisine, there are two kinds of fried lumpia: Vegetable Lumpia and Shanghai. To tell which one is which, you can see the differences in their size, filling, and dipping sauce. As far as size, the Shanghai rolls are usually small bites whereas Vegetable Lumpia rolls are big and thick. For...

Pili Nut Cheese Recipe + International Giveaway

RG @ Astig Vegan — Thu, 16 Jul 2015 18:26:03 +0000

Most of us have heard of vegan cheese made of cashews, almonds, coconut, even macadamia. These days, it’s no longer a surprise that vegan cheese exists, or good vegan cheese exists. I remember during my early vegan years, I would avoid eating vegan cheese because I thought it tasted bland and rubbery. Now, thanks to companies...

Vegan “Jollibee” Peach Mango Pie

RG @ Astig Vegan — Mon, 27 Apr 2015 07:00:34 +0000

You’ve been warned, this recipe is “sinful”. Peach Mango Pie was something I used to love and would usually get at a Filipino restaurant called Jollibee (the McDonald’s of the Philippines). The filling had ripe yellow mangoes and ripe yellow peaches, and their sweetness and texture go so well together. The crust was crunchy and very comforting. Jollibee‘s Peach Mango Pie...
