This vegan pancit is a special recipe for me. Growing up, my mom always made huge trays of pancit for holidays, birthday parties, BBQs, and any other celebration you can think of. It’s one of those Filipino dishes that everyone truly loves! While many recipes call for either bihon or canton noodles, this recipe uses both because that’s how my mom always made it! I love the texture of both of the noodles, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Zuppa Toscana

Happy first day of Fall! It’s ✨officially✨ the start of my Soup Season Series, and we’re kicking it off with the highly requested Zuppa Toscana.

This soup was made popular by Olive Garden, and is one of the most well-known items on their menu! Their version (and the one this recipe is based off of) is made with Italian sausage, crushed red peppers, diced onion, garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, potatoes, and kale. It’s richer than the original, which is typically made with a lot more vegetables and water, instead of cream — basically far from any Zuppa Toscana you’d probably see in Tuscany. That said, because “Zuppa Toscana” is such a broad term, it’s hard to find its exact origins, and I’d bet that ingredients varied by region or what was available seasonally.

Vegan Sweet and Sour Tofu

sweet and sour tofu

This sweet and sour tofu is inspired by one of my favorite Chinese takeout dishes, Sweet and Sour Chicken. Sweet and sour dishes, sauces, and cooking methods have a long history in China. One of the earliest recordings of sweet and sour comes from《烧尾宴食单, a menu of the food served in Tang Dynasty festivals written in 708. It included many sweet and sour dishes and recorded that they were invented by Chancellor Wei Juyuan under Emperor Zhongzong of Tang when he hosted the Emperor at his house; one of them is the iconic Chinese dish sweet and sour spare ribs.

Cantonese sweet and sour sauce is the direct ancestor of the sauce of the same name in the West, and was originally developed for sweet and sour pork. The late renowned chef from Hong Kong, Leung King, included the following as his sweet and sour source sauce recipe: white rice vinegar, salt, Chinese brown candy, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and dark soy sauce.

This style of sauce has a long history, and for good reason … it’s delicious and versatile and hits all the flavors! Grab a drink and let’s get to cooking the best Sweet and Sour Tofu!

Vegan Beef and Broccoli Noodles

beef and broccoli

According to Made with Lau, Beef and Broccoli is said to have originated from the Chinese dish called “Gai Lan Chao Niu Rou”, also known as Chinese Broccoli Fried Beef. Because early Chinese immigrants could not find Gai Lan – the Chinese variation of broccoli in the US – the broccoli that we know today became an easy substitute, and is now used the widely noted dish that we know as Beef and Broccoli. It’s believed that the first versions of the dish were prepared by Chinese immigrants who had settled in San Francisco sometime after the 1920’s when broccoli was introduced by immigrants from Italy.

While beef and broccoli is widely popular in the US, it’s highly unlikely you’ll find it on menus in China – this dish is American Chinese, much like Crab Rangoon and the Chinese Chicken Salad. But just because this is a westernized recipe, doesn’t mean it isn’t delicious! In fact, Beef and Broccoli is a beloved American Takeout Favorite for a reason!
