Quinoa Bowl with Chilli Spiced Chickpeas, Wilted Kale, Pear, and Garlic Chipotle Mayo

April 26, 2016 by Lisa Le 7 Comments

This quinoa bowl is one of the many variations of “bowl food” that I find comforting. Chilli spiced chickpeas are a staple in my homeβ€”canned chickpeas are easy and filling. I always add some sort of wilted greens to give my bowl a pop of colour, and sweet, crunchy pear contrasts all the elements. I […]

Vegan Miso Dulse Onigiri | The Viet Vegan | Japanese versions of "sandwiches", onigiri are stuffed rice triangles

I equate these vegan miso dulse onigiri to Japanese versions of sandwiches:Filled rice triangles that are perfect to-go meals that are fun and easy to make! The more and more I spend time alone, the more I tend to fall back on childhood comforts and Vietnamese food. Every now and then I bounce back between […]

AD - Vegan satay with luscious, spiced peanut sauce and crunchy, stinky, umami green papaya salad? Yes please! Eddie thoroughly enjoyed my recipe tests for this recipe and promptly smothered this peanut sauce over anything and everything.
🍱
Recipe and video are on the blog and YouTube channel, please check it out and enjoy the new filming setup that I've been doing lately :) I think this makes for a much better video filmed this way!
🍱
I made this satay recipe as a collab with @monbento to show a delicious lunch idea that you can meal prep ahead of time! Y'all know I am a sucker for delicious food in my bento box, so I'm so jazzed that monbento gave me a code to save y'all 10%.
🍱
Use code THEVIETVEGAN10 on top of the sales happening right now to get you an adorable bento!

Henlo it's been a very busy week on my end but I've been working hard to try to get back up to 2x a week uploads again. So last week I posted two bookish videos and today I posted my sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies!

Crisp edges, chewy centre, crunchy flakes of @maldonsalt on top...MMM. A perfect way to use up some sourdough discard!

[AD] Tis the season for finger food and delicious bites! So many vegan charcuteries tend to be nut-heavy, but for those who are allergic to many things like me, you might enjoy this pizza snack board I created for @whollyveggie with some marinated mushrooms (recipe on the blog), fresh veggies, and olives, and vegan salami to snack on, with pizza sauce to dunk in!
πŸ•
I used the Classic Cheese, Margherita pizzas, and Naked Cauliflower Crust that are frozen and delicious for a snack board. I honestly kind of forgot that they were gluten-free because I love a nice, crisp thin crust and this was tender enough to yield a nice, chewy bite while being golden and crisp!
πŸ•
Find the recipe on my blog, deets on your closest Wholly Veggy retailer on their website, and please tag me and @whollyveggie in your homemade pizza snack boards! I'd love to see how you customize yours :)

Feeling like I got my mojo back! Also coincidentally my cycle ended, so maybe that had something to do with this week of super low energy and negativity πŸ˜‚β£οΈπŸ˜­Today I cleaned out the fridge, treated myself to a schnickers square from @covenhamilton and made some Instant Pot phở because Eddie's been missing @saigonlotustoronto and we haven't been able to go all year (for obvious reasons).You can find the recipe on the blog. I'll put a swipe up link since the link in bio sometimes take a second to populate, or you can use the search bar at the top of my blog! Hope you are all having a relaxing weekend ☺️Instant Pot Phở: http://bit.ly/2DdKATA#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes #whatveganseat #veganfoodshare #veganpho #vietvegan #vietnamesefood

A lot of you are celebrating Thanksgiving today, and while this Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew is not a Thanksgiving recipe, I wish you all the best this weekend and kindly remind you that Thanksgiving has a lot of colonial, traumatic and genocidal origins of Indigenous peoples across North America.
πŸ‚
Eddie loves Thanksgiving food (I mostly like stuffing/dressing and mashed potatoes haha) so I understand that nostalgia and love for Thanksgiving fare, but I hope you also take this time to continue your education in Indigenous history, culture and how the exploitation and trauma still affects Indigenous cultures and peoples today.
πŸ‚
I always worry I'm being like a bummer to remind you of this year after year, but I'm on my own journey of education and unlearning the history we were erroneously taught and all the convenient gaps that didn't tell the whole story. We are all unlearning together.
πŸ‚
And while it is important to learn about the heavy history, I also implore you to appreciate and support Indigenous art and cultures. I recently finished reading Son of a Trickster by Eden Robinson and I have many more books by Indigenous authors on my to-read list!
πŸ‚
Enjoy the time with your loved ones (hopefully very safely, and hopefully you've quarantined before seeing each other). It can be hard to deny our families who have varying levels of concern, but know that the precautions you take now show the people you love and the communities we're in how much you care. Virtual celebrations aren't quite the same but are a nice stand-in for being alone.
πŸ‚
Also fyi this is an Instant Pot red curry lentil and potato stew I shared last week. On YouTube and the blog! https://bit.ly/3nCsQWm

I feel like it's no suprise to anyone that my favourite colour is green and that this green ramen is an herbaceous, vibrant way to eat your greens!
πŸ’š
PLUS I use peas in the sauce to add some lean, green protein so you don't feel hungry again in 20 minutes like you would if you just ate a pack of instant noodles πŸ˜‚
πŸ’š
Recipe is linked in the bio, although it might take a sec to repopulate but it's also in my Asian recipe highlight (although it's not really Asian... it's just green saucy noods but my regular recipe highlight is getting too long πŸ˜…)

Inari pockets with vegan crab salad from my last hiking vlog πŸ±πŸŒ³πŸ‚ some of y'all might remember that this package of tofu pockets was similar to the package I have bought before and I realized too late that they had clam and oyster extract in the seasoning.
🍁
Because I was going on a hike with a few omnis, I figured it was worth just using it anyway to feed them so it didn't go to waste, and that way Eddie and I didn't have to eat it all on our own. This dilemma can be controversial, and I've had people (well, one persistent person) hate on me for drinking a can of Arizona Iced Tea after I bought it and realized too late that it had honey in it.
🍁
Y'all, being vegan is point blank a privilege. Choosing what to eat, being informed enough to want to choose vegan, having access to fruits and vegetables that don't cost $$$$, having time to cook, having the time to LEARN how to cook, it is all overlapping privileges that enable any of us to eat vegan. Throwing food away because of a mistake you made even though it is perfectly edible is not helping the animals (and it is so wasteful!)
πŸ‚
Obviously in this case, it was just extract and not actually pieces of meat, dairy, or egg, so it was easier for me to eat it without trying to think about it. And honestly, I'm unsure if I would be able to eat anything non-vegan without getting sick (because I got hives after eating the tofu pockets πŸ™ƒ), but it's nuanced and eating a non-vegan product you bought by accident doesn't make you a bad person. It doesn't discount your veganism. You simply learn from it and keep trucking on.
🍁
Anyway, I explain this in the video but have a watch it you want to see how I made the inari and the beautiful trees on the hike 😁#thevietvegan #thevietveganrecipes https://youtu.be/aBY97WhZCw4 #inarisushi #whatveganseat
