Vegan Filipino Adobo
Filipino Adobo is traditionally cooked with soy sauce or salt, vinegar, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf, and either chicken, pork, or both. This veganized version uses lots of garlic, fried mushrooms, fried tofu, and a savory sauce. Best paired with rice and a side of salted chopped tomatoes, white onion, and cilantro.
Agedashi Tofu
The combination of crispy-chewy tofu and the umami rich broth (dashi) is heaven on earth. Easy to balance and adjust to your liking!
Kale and Collard Greens Chips
Crispy baked kale and collard greens chips with customizable flavors — from Nooch to Cooler Ranch to Garlic Parm. A healthy, crunchy snack!
Dairy-Free Puto (Filipino Steamed Rice Cake)
Puto is a Filipino steamed rice cake. This version is delicious, quick, and easy — made with common pantry ingredients. The baking soda, baking powder, and vinegar give these little cakes serious pillowy fluff!
Pandesal (Filipino Bread Rolls)
Classic Filipino Pandesal—soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet bread rolls coated in fine breadcrumbs. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, especially when served warm with your favorite spread.
