Tempeh Adobo with Kang-kong

RG @ Astig Vegan — Fri, 09 Aug 2013 06:48:12 +0000

Adobo is undeniably one of the most popular Filipino dishes out there. It’s a Filipino dish recognized for its seasonings such as vinegar, black pepper, and garlic. For my version, I’m incorporating a new vegan favorite: tempeh. Tempeh is a soybean cake with a mild nutty flavor. I used to think that tempeh tasted nasty, but I...

When I heard that the joint party for my mom and my niece’s birthday will be held at a park, I decided to make my grilled vegan Isaw. Isaw (pronounced “ee-sao”) is a popular Filipino street food. Sometimes it’s made of pig parts, sometimes of chicken parts. It is marinated in simple ingredients then grilled....

Pastel Recipe

Pastel is a creamy Filipino dish made of vegetables, milk, and chicken. It’s pronounced “Pahs-tell” with the emphasis on the second syllable “tel”. In Spanish, it means “cake”. You’ll find Pastel usually served at special gatherings and parties most likely because people find it intricate to make. The vegan version though cuts down the labor...

Citrus Bloghop: Kalamansi Coconut Risotto

RG @ Astig Vegan — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 02:45:24 +0000

A fusion between Italian and Filipino, Kalamansi Coconut Risotto is a creamy rice dish I like to refer as “the ultimate comfort food”. It calls for simple cooking steps yet results in complex flavors that gradually reveal in every bite. Risotto is traditionally Italian but the ingredients, kalamansi citrus and coconut make it Filipino. I’m glad I...

My sister’s neighbor recently harvested tons of tomatoes from her backyard. They were big, juicy, organic Campari tomatoes. The neighbor was feeling generous so she gave two full bags to my sister. But my sister didn’t seem to know what to do with them, so she gave the other half to me. And just like...
