Sticky Garlic Eggplant 红烧茄子

This is be far my favourite way to eat eggplant. It’s a Chinese dish that just happens to be vegan and it’s so mouthwateringly delicious. Deep fried and coated in an umami and slightly sweet sauce with plenty of garlicky flavour… Saucy and crispy on the outside, melty and hot on the inside! So many […]

Thai Mango Sticky Rice

Thai Mango Sticky Rice is seriously one of the most delicious desserts out there. If you haven’t tried it before, it consists of sweet glutinous rice (which just means sticky rice and actually contains no gluten at all!) which is flavoured with creamy coconut cream and served with fresh sweet mangoes. Served with a little […]

Vegan Tomato and Egg Stir Fry

Another day, another childhood favourite. A regular in our dinner rotations. I remember Dad making this after netball training and for countless dinners after school. We called this ‘Eggy Dan Dan’ in our canglish speaking house, which literally means eggy eggs hahaha (although I’m pretty sure we shortened it down from ‘Tomato Eggy Dan Dan’). […]

Vegan Shepherd’s Pie

When I was a kid on scout camp, I saw my Scout Leader doing something I thought was SUPER FREAKY. He emptied a whole jar of fruit chutney into the Cottage Pie mix he was making. Yes. Fruit chutney – the condiment with SULTANAS (RAISINS, if you’re from the states). My confusion was real and […]

Vegan San Choy Bow (生菜包)

This SCB recipe is quick and easy and makes enough to feed the whole fam. It’s fresh, it’s filling, it’s crunchy and delicious. The water chestnuts are the key ingredient to any good san choy bow, giving that signature little extra bit of crunchiness amongst the savoury mince.  For this recipe I’m using TVP but […]

Vegan Peking Duck Pancakes (春饼)

Peking Duck pancakes were a highlight of my childhood. On anyone’s birthday we’d order Peking Duck at our favourite Chinese Restaurant in Eastwood and my Dad would always save me the crispiest piece of duck. Now I’m vegan and I’m so glad that Peking Duck pancakes are not only one of the easiest things to […]

Vegan Omurice (オムライス)

Omurice is a popular home-cooked meal in Japan that consists of tomato fried rice tucked into an omelette parcel. This recipe is super versatile so you can add whatever veggies you like into the fried rice (I think corn or nori would be really good in it!)! NOTES ON EGG I recommend weighing the chickpea […]

Vegan Folded Brekky Egg

Now obviously, this isn’t like the best fake-egg ever, but it’s pretty damn good for how easy it is! IT IS SO EASY. 5 INGREDIENTS, PEOPLE! Inspired by JUST Egg’s new ‘folded-eggs’ which look AMAZING for all eggy brekky sandwiches, but sadly, unavailable in Australia. YES. I’m sure I could get super fancy with mung […]

Vegan Eggs Benedict

OH BOY did I used to LOVE Eggs Benedict. Oh man oh my. This recipe is ALL about the hollandaise sauce! I am so happy with the result and it is WICKED (if i do say so myself!). I know a lot of other vegan hollandaise sauce recipes use garlic powder and onion powder – […]
