Vegan Chile Rellenos (made with Aquafaba)

April 22, 2018 by Sanjay Leave a Comment

These Vegan Chile Rellenos are coated in a super fluffy batter made from aquafaba, and are crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside. Stuff them with vegan cheese, beans, potatoes, corn, soyrizo, or vegan meat, and top with canned enchilada sauce for a tasty meal anytime!

Living in LA, I’ve had my fair share of good Mexican food.
But tacos and tortas aside, my favorite Mexican dish by far is Chiles Rellenos.

And although I’ve been vegan for over 14 years (yes, I’m an OG vegan✊🏽), I’ve never thought of making Vegan Chile Rellenos at home, until I came across aquafaba….

Super Umami Vegan Dashi (Kombu & Shiitake)

April 8, 2018 by Sanjay Leave a Comment

Stumble

This vegan dashi gets its super umami powers from kelp (kombu) and shiitake mushrooms and comes together in only 1 hour. This dashi is the perfect recipe starter for your favorite Japanese and Korean dishes, or can be had as a soup on its own!

There was once a time when I blissfully slurped down Miso soups at any Japanese restaurant, thinking “Miso, tofu, spring onions, WCGW?”

Until one day someone pointed out that Miso soup is ALWAYS made of a dashi. And dashi, is almost always made of shaved fish flakes.

After I came to terms with the fact that I was living in blissful ignorance, I set out to learn more about Japanese cuisine (and now ALWAYS double check ingredients, even if the waiter insists it’s “there’s no meat and fish in it”).

These Peanut Butter Cornflake cookies are a perfect vegan snack, and comes together in less than 5 minutes (no baking required and gluten-free option too!).

I have to admit something to you.
I am bad at baking.

There, I said it.

Part of the reason is that it’s too much science. So many ingredients, so much precision. I’ll just stick to cooking where I can mask any mistake with more garlic (mmm, garlic).…

Royal Mango Lassi (Vegan Optional)

If you’ve been to an Indian restaurant before, you know the usual suspects – naan, samosas, and mango lassi.

But let’s be honest, restaurant style mango lassis are the absolute worst. They’re cheaply made (with canned mango pulp), watered down, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a vegan mango lassi….

Vegan Tteokbokki (Korean Spicy Rice Cake)

I’ve been going through a bit of a Korean food kick lately. As you know, my Kimchi Fried Rice recipe evokes fond memories of binge drinking in college, and is one of my favorite treats when I want something spicy and filling. But I’ve decided to venture deeper into the Korean food world, and this Vegan Tteokbokki (or Vegan Korean Spicy Rice Cake) just might be my new favorite thing! Seriously though, people should be eating more Korean food, amirite!?…

Vegan vs. Keto vs. Paleo – What’s the Difference?

January 15, 2018 by Sanjay Leave a Comment

Stumble

Vegan vs. Keto vs. Paleo – we hear these terms a lot lately. It’s no wonder, since there are so many diets to choose from these days (some of which are based on science and common sense). As our generation becomes more ‘woke’ and better understands that healthy eating should be a lifestyle change, many different tribes have emerged and people have chosen sides. …

Is Sugar Vegan? A Complete Guide to Vegan Sugar and Sweeteners

December 30, 2017 by Sanjay Leave a Comment

Stumble

Looking for Vegan Sugar? News flash – common white table sugar is NOT vegan.

What does that mean? Have we been living our whole lives as a lie? Have we negated our X years of veganism because we’ve been consuming white sugar like heathens? Does this make me a ‘bad vegan?’

The fact is, the terms ‘good vegan’ and ‘bad vegan’ are subjective, and we have to just try to be the ‘best vegans’ we can be given our resources and knowledge available.

One thing we can do, is to educate ourselves on seemingly vegan items are actually tainted by hidden non-vegan ingredients/processes.

Unfortunately, sugar is one of them.…
