Cheesy Chipotle Chick’n & Rice Soup

March 7, 2022 By Ashley Leave a Comment

This Cheesy Chipotle Chick’n and Rice Soup is truly chick’n soup for the soul. The broth is smoky and flavorful with a touch of heat from the chipotles – while the chick’n, rice, and veggies add heartiness to the soup. Stir in a bit of vegan cheese shreds at the end of simmering for an extra creamy bowl of comfort!

Cheesy Chipotle Chick’n & Rice Soup

This soup is a combination of my favorite soups wrapped into one cozy bowl. Think taco/enchilada soup meets chicken and rice soup. It’s cozy, creamy, and hearty, with a fragrant broth flavored with chiles and tons of spices. The best part? It’s ready in under an hour, so you’ll have a comforting bowl of soup from pot to table in no time!

Vegan Birria Ramen

February 24, 2022 By Ashley 1 Comment

This vegan Birria Ramen is an easy and delicious mashup of two of my favorite foods. Meaty oyster mushrooms are shredded and marinated, then cooked to crispy perfection. Serve atop chewy ramen noodles immersed in rich consomé broth, and topped with vegan cheese, onion, cilantro and lime for a truly addicting, slurpable bowl of goodness!

Bonus: If you make my Birria Tacos, just make extra ‘meat’, add a couple more cups of broth to the leftover consomé, and you’ll have Vegan Birria Ramen for the next couple of days!

Vegan Sisig

February 15, 2022 By Ashley Leave a Comment

This vegan sisig is my tasty take on the wildly popular Filipinx drinking snack! Dried snow fungus mushrooms are rehydrated and marinated, transforming them into crispy vegan ‘pork’ — then they’re sautéed with vegan sausage and an aromatic blend of onions peppers, chilis, & garlic, and cooked until crisped around the edges. Just like its traditional counterpart, this vegan sisig is rich and savory, with subtle notes of heat and acidity! The perfect bite paired with your favorite beer!

Vegan Sisig

It’s been awhile since I’ve been back to the Philippines (damn you, Covid!), but last time my wife and I were there (it’s been so long, it was before we were even vegan 😭), we spent the entire month island hopping and trying different variations of each region’s Sisig. To say we were obsessed is an understatement.

Since then, we’ve made many versions of our own vegan Sisig – some with mushrooms or tofu, or a mixture of both, but this version is my absolute favorite! The snow mushrooms provide the perfect gelatinous texture that you’d otherwise get from the different cuts of pork, while the vegan sausage crisps up impeccably! Eating this reminds me of drinking Red Horse and swimming into the late hours of the night while snacking on Sisig with my family and friends in the Philippines, and I’m immediately transported to my favorite place in the world with some of my favorite memories 🥲

Vegan Chorizo Bolognese

February 5, 2022 By Ashley 3 Comments

This Vegan Chorizo Bolognese is a fiery twist on a beloved classic. Like its traditional counterpart, it’s luscious and rich, with wonderful depths of flavor – and the addition of chorizo lends a slight smokiness that completely elevates it. Serve with cilantro and vegan queso fresco for an indulgent dinner that’s seriously 5-star restaurant worthy.

Psst! Don’t let the 3-hour cook time dissuade you; most of it’s simmering time, which really allows for the flavors to build and develop.

If you love savory, saucy noodles, this Cheesy Vegan Gochujang Udon is for you! It’s easy, delicious, and totally satiating 🤤 The best part?! All you need is 20 minutes to make it!

I got the idea for this recipe after seeing videos of cheesy ramen going viral on TikTok. Obviously, I had to know what all the rave was about, so after watching a few recipes, I came up with these Cheesy Vegan Gochujang Udon Noodles!

Most of the recipe videos I saw online for cheesy ramen called for the flavoring packets – many of which aren’t vegan friendly – so I decided to ditch it altogether and come up with my own sauce! Of course, I wanted it to be just as easy as making instant ramen, so for the sauce, all you have to do is throw everything in a bowl and whisk it all together! I also subbed out udon noodles for ramen, because they’re my favorite, but feel free to use what you like!

Vegan Filipino Spaghetti

January 25, 2022 By Ashley Leave a Comment

Filipino spaghetti is a Filipino twist on classic Italian spaghetti. Sweet and savory meat sauce is tossed with spaghetti and topped with cheddar cheese, making for a delicious and creamy pasta dish that is truly unlike any other! Typically served during holidays and at birthday parties, this dish is beloved by much of the Philippines!

Filipino Spaghetti

Have you ever tried Filipino Spaghetti?

It’s a thing in the Philippines – served during the holidays, at birthday parties, and sold at all the fast food chains – including McDonald’s! Growing up in a Filipino household, I didn’t even know what real spaghetti was. I was always under the impression spaghetti was supposed to be sweet. I remember the first time I had non-filipino spaghetti, I was so confused. Where were the hot dogs? Why wasn’t it sweet? No cheddar cheese?!!!!?! To this day, I still prefer Filipino spaghetti to classic Italian spaghetti, and even when I cook spaghetti that’s more traditional, I can’t help but add just a little bit of sugar to remind me of home 🙂

Unlike its original Italian counterpart, Filipino spaghetti is sweet, loaded with a meaty, sugary hotdog spaghetti sauce, then topped with cheddar cheese so it’s super creamy. It’s unique and unlike any pasta I’ve ever had! If you’re a sucker for sweet and savory dishes, you have to give Filipino Spaghetti a try!
