Shredded Cabbage Salad with Kalamansi juice

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sat, 26 Mar 2016 23:03:41 +0000

Spring is officially here in the US. The temperature is rising and the sun starts to linger at night (until 7pm!). I find myself craving for something refreshing in this warmer weather. I still have some leftover kalamansi from making a marmalade so I thought of making Shredded Cabbage Salad with Kalamansi juice. I love the crunch...

Vegan Tapa

Mock meats could be such a debatable topic for most vegans. Some say it’s a great vegan option for those who miss meat while others advocate sticking to celebrating food that does not resemble an animal product. While I love to celebrate vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and nuts, I don’t mind mock meats. As vegan blogger,...

5 Things You Need to Know about going Gluten-Free

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 18 Oct 2015 19:22:31 +0000

Gluten-free is still an alien concept to many people including myself. Aside from the obvious -there’s no gluten in the food, I found the whole thing baffling. What’s wrong with gluten in the first place? Without research, it would be convenient to assume that gluten-free is a diet trend for the health-conscious folks, like Atkins (no carbs) or...

How to Make Vegan Pancit Palabok (Newly Improved Recipe) (Gluten-Free)

RG @ Astig Vegan — Thu, 15 Oct 2015 03:50:24 +0000

Undeniably, Pancit is one of the most recognizable Filipino dishes in the US. After all, it’s a savory noodle dish always present at parties and potlucks. But unknown to some, Pancit comes in many forms –Palabok, Bihon, Luglog, Malabon, etc. Out of all, my favorite is Palabok. That’s because Palabok is savory and “eggy”, with orange sauce...

Vegan Lechon Paksiw Recipe

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sat, 18 Apr 2015 07:19:24 +0000

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

RG @ Astig Vegan — Wed, 08 Apr 2015 07:00:24 +0000

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...

Asian Greens Soup with Squash, Tofu, & Enoki Mushrooms

RG @ Astig Vegan — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 18:47:45 +0000

Living in San Francisco, I feel lucky for having many vegan options when dining out. One of these options is my favorite soup called “Braised Pea Leaves” with pumpkin, pressed tofu, and salted chili broth served at a restaurant called Mission Chinese. Mission Chinese is a quaint restaurant in the Mission district. Some people frown upon this place, calling it...

Suman Moron for Valentines Day

RG @ Astig Vegan — Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:18:20 +0000

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

RG @ Astig Vegan — Wed, 04 Feb 2015 19:03:36 +0000

“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...
