Miang Kham

 Thai style Miang Kham, one bite wraps with fresh ingredients and a flavorful sauce. In Thailand they use betel leaf for the wraps but I used romaine. Green leaf lettuce would be good too. The whole point is to wrap the ingredients with some sauce in a leaf, fold it up to pop in your mouth in one bite! The ingredients are: green onion, lime flesh, jalapenos and carrots. I wish I had fresh ginger, mint and cilantro. Also toasted coconut and roastedreeer peanuts. The sauce I veganized: soybean paste, mushroom soy sauce, ginger, lime juice, agave syrup, toasted coconut, roasted peanuts, red onion and rhizome powder. 

Andersen’s split pea soup

 Omg the split pea soup recipe by @peasoupandersens is delicious! I topped mine with vegan Parmesan, vegan bacon bits and croutons! I used Rancho Gordo split peas and they were perfect. Tip: instead of straining the soup at the end, I just puréed it in my blender. 

Thai lunch.

 Just a couple yummy dishes from a Thai restaurant. Spicy eggplant with tofu and spicy mint noodles.

 And Japanese green tea after lunch.

Vegan enchilada casserole

 Inspired by a video of Rebbie and Latoya Jackson making enchiladas for the Jackson family. It was adorable. Enchilada casserole with veggies and black beans. Veggies I used: red and green peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, Mexican squash, kale and corn. Topped with homemade sauce, vegan cheese and @traderjoes almond chipotle dip and salsa. Yummy!

My go to salsa. Toast in a pan: 10 dried chile de arbol, one garlic clove, and a chunk of onion until slightly charred. Add to a blender with one can of diced tomatoes (you can use a couple of big fresh tomatoes), lime juice, salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar. 

Good tea and food.

 Just some random pics!

Pizza made with Trader Joe’s garlic and herb dough. Follow your heart cheese.

My mom’s Thai papaya salad (som tum)

Delicious open face sandwich: German seed and grain bread, almond chipotle dip, tofurky, fyh cheese, avocado and tomato.

My aunt brought back teas from Asia. I love all of them!

Vegetable and jackfruit vindaloo.

 

Recipe from Vegan Richa’s book. I love this recipe. I dry roast the spices then make the paste which has lots of garlic, chili and vinegar. I used hot red chili powder. I airfried the jackfruit first before adding it to the pot.

Greek food is top tier!

 Went on a date to a Greek taverna and it did not disappoint!

Gigantes, Melitzanosalata, Skordalia and lemon potatoes.

The Skordalia was firm like a cheese. Loved it!

Happiness on a plate.
