Get your regular meal and here is the tricky part...
Take the big piece of meat out!

Vege is really easy, Vegan is the one that needs alot of work

Maybe try some bean and corn burritos, or just steamed vegies and rice
or you could try and make some vege/chick pear/kidney bean burgers
Or even simpler just make a killer pasta sauce out of tomato, chilli paste and any veges you want

ouch.ndi ko kayang maging vegetarian.
oo, kumakain ako ng gulay pero mababaliw ata ako kung puro yun lang...

adobong sitaw

regular adobo recipe minus meat plus lot's and lot's of siling labuyo plus veggie meat plus extra veggie meat voigla!

@easy, you might wanna try Shawarma Snack Center in Malate Manila or Mister Kebab in West ave Quezon City for some good authentic falafels...

here's a favorite recipe that i usually cook at home:

tofu sisig!

-firm tofu brick or tokwa (a lot cheaper) - wrap it in some paper towels to remove the excess water
-regular sized onions (lots of it)
-some garlic
-soy sauce
-calamansi
-pepper
-chilis

1. slice the tofu bricks about a cm thick, fry them in oil until crispy and golden brown. chop them up into small sisig size pieces, set aside.
2. sauté the onions first the add the garlic afterwards (para di masunog yung garlic).
3. add the chopped tofu into pan
4. add soy and calamansi (about 5-7 pcs per block of tofu)
5. add a dash of pepper and the chilis.

enjoi!

if i have some bottled ground gluten (available at SM supermarket) around, i usually add this to my tofu sisig but you have to drain the liquid first kasi lasang chinese sya.

Question: di ba usually ang sisig e merong mayonaise? etong menu mo e wala? so pano magkakaron nung white something dun sa sisig para magmukha and lasa syang sisig?

isa to sa mga gusto kong lutuin pero di ko magawa e..hehe..

walang mayo yang recipe, dry sisig yan pag pure tofu lang ang ginamit...pag ginagamitan ko nung bottled gluten, mejo parang may mayo na sya dahil sa consistency nya. ang ginagawa ko, yung bottled gluten pagkatapos ko i-drain yung liquid nilalagayan ko sya ng calamansi sa bottle nya tapos marinade ko for a day, mejo magiging creamy yung consistency nya after and mejo matamis. parang magbleblend yung sweet chinese flavor nung bottled gluten sa tang nung calamansi, basta dapat nadrain ng todo yung liquid sa bote kasi pag madami pang natira baka ma-over power nya yung lasa ng calamansi

di ko pa na-try ihalo yung soyanaisse kasi mejo mahirap maghanap dito...

try ko pa magpost ng ibang recipes dito, sana dami rin magcontribute

masarap din yung gluten tocino, bili ka lang ng gluten sa varona tapos tocino mix sa grocery (dry ingridients: sugar, salitre, salt, spices). slice mo yung gluten sa desired size tapos mix mo lang sila then marinade for 1 day. ready to fry na yun kinabukas, sarap sa sinangag pag umaga with kamatis and suka. yum yum!!!

veggie bolognese:

1/2 kilo pasta (linguini/ spaghetti/ fettucini)
5 cloves of garlic, minced
2 large white onions, minced
2 celery stalks, minced
3 large carrots, finely diced
1 medium sized red bell pepper, minced
1 medium sized green bell pepper, minced
1 large can of mushrooms, chopped
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 small can tomato paste
1 pc. bay leaf
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. paprika
salt
pepper
pinch of sugar (optional)
olive oil

1. saute onions in olive oil, let it sweat for 1-2 minutes. add garlic, celery, bell pepper and bay leaf, saute for 2-3 minutes.
2. add the carrots, saute ulit...
3. add tomato paste and roast hanggang sa medyo matuyo-tuyo na sya dun sa pan.
4. sunod mo na yung mushrooms tapos saute mo. mga 5-6 minutes para maluto yung mushrooms.
5. add crushed tomatoes, salt, pepper, paprika and last yung oregano. simmer for 5-8 minutes on a low fire , stir once in a while para di dumikit yung sauce sa pan. kung sobra lapot, add vegetable stock.
6. kung gusto mo mejo matamis, add sugar. depende na rin sa panlasa mo, matamis rin kasi yung carrots.
7. after non pwede mo nang patayin yung stove. pour the sauce over cooked pasta then its done.

i dont like it at Led's, ABHF claims it's HAUNTED

ITULOY ANG VEGGIE COOKOUT!!!!!!

ginisang gluten

1-1/2 cups ground gluten
1/2 cup tomatoes, sliced fine
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
Salt to taste
1 can sweet peas
Dash of pepper
1/3 cup onions, sliced
1/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup water
1-1/4 cups potatoes. diced

Sauté garlic in oil until brown. Add onions and tomatoes and cook until tender.
Add ground gluten and seasoning. Cook for 10 minutes.
Add potatoes and water. Simmer until done.
Add raisins and peas just before removing from fire (i suggest cook it for 2-3 minutes pa). enjoi!

I'm proud to be vegan! Here in the Philippines, a lot of folks thinks that being vegan or veggie means you have to spend a lot of money but really, this is a misconception. You just have to know where to look. Anyways, Bodhi is an obvious choice. You can pretty much find a Bodi quick stop restaurant at any mall like SM or here in Cubao, at Alimall (note: not all the dishes are vegan though as some contain milk and cheese). If you're able to take yourself out to a nice restaurant, I highly recommend this restaurant called Greens located at 92 Scout Castor Street, Quezon City. open from Monday to Saturday 11:00AM to 10:00PM and on Sundays they open at 12pm to 9PM. Greens is vegan/vegetarian friendly and the food's not only great but cheap as well. And one more thing, if you're looking to cook your own food, there's a stand at StarMall that sell veggie meat and the instructions on how to cook it are labeled on the package.
Hope you enjoy the food and become a full-time veggie if not vegan. See ya in the pit.

Greens hehe pag may okasyon, jan kami kumakain. Neto lang bday ni chu di kami kumain jan. Panala sa Greens

SAN NA ANG VEGGIE COOKOUT???

uh....no. they sell veggie meat. they're not a restaurant dude. it's a stand. that sells veggie meat. it's a veggie meat stand.

anyways, they mainly sell fake corn beef and beef. they have some green noodles, at least last time i checked, but i thought it kind of looked stupid so i stuck with the corn beef.

mas mura ba dun? or mas makakatipid sa varona or 'quanji"(not sure bout sa spelling). and, sinu may alam nung bilihan ng meat magic and other related stuff sa divisoria? mas mura daw dun eh. salamat!!!

hapunan = nilagang munggo + tokwa

yung hi-top supermarket malapit sa quezon ave/edsa may mga binebentang veggie-meat...

veggie hotdog, sausage, cutlets tsaka burger....nakapwesto sya sa dulo nang mga frozen meat..hehehe

pero kung super DIY ka naman pede ka ding atang gumawa nang gluten na ang gamit mo ay arina. kelangan lang masipag ka magmasa heheh

dumaan ako kahapon, hindi Orange kundi Yellow ang mga vests nila. sila yung tiangge-type na tindahan sa tapat mismo ng Jollibee. nagtitinda rin sila ng mga kakanin at kung anu-anong mga chinese food stuff. mostly mga TVP or "magic meat" na pre-packed sa tig-kalahating kilo (ata) ang mga binebenta nila. i looked for the corned beef kaso parang wala o baka di ko lang hinahanap ng maayos.
anyway, i'm stoked na meron nang malapit na mabibilan ng "supplies" dito sa Ortigas/Mandaluyong/Pasig area
props for the tip wearetheproblem!

at least pre there's comfort in the knowledge na pesticide-free yung talong na kinain mo. matakot ka dun sa mga malalaki, makikinis, makintab, at malutong na talong. while they sure look tasty, most of the time they are "enhanced."
