✨ Vegan Cheesy Veggie Gratin ✨⁠ ⁠ ⁠I mad ✨ Vegan Cheesy Veggie Gratin ✨⁠
⁠
⁠I made a creamy veggie stew a few days ago by cooking veggies ( potato, onion, carrot ) in vegan chicken stock and soymilk from @originalbonsoy then thicken with Japanese medicinal starch Kuzu ( aka kuzu). I love using kuzu often during winter to avoid getting sick! 😅⁠
⁠
⁠I hate eating the same food, so I baked leftover stew with vegan cheese – now it looks and taste like gratin! 😋 ⁠
⁠
⁠It was a huge hit for my potato-loving Irish hubby! 🥔 ⁠
⁠
I served with veggie soup and salad ✨⁠
⁠

💚 Vegan Wasyoku Time 💚⁠ ⁠ Wasyoku ( Japa 💚 Vegan Wasyoku Time 💚⁠
⁠
Wasyoku ( Japanese meal ) is always exciting! 😃⁠
⁠
Today’s main is grilled astuage ( deep fried tofu ), zucchini with enoki mushroom ankake sauce – always so fabulous to add fresh yuzu peel ✨ ⁠
⁠
Side dishes are bean sprout salad which is seasoned with fermented rice salt, kinpira gobo ( burdock and carrot stir fry in Japanese way ) miso soup with full of veggies, konnyaku, ginger, black sesame rice and cucumber and wakame sunomono ( Japanese style salad seasoned with rice vinegar, salt and sugar ) 🥢⁠
⁠
This meal is so gut-friendly – because I used fermented seasoning ( miso / shio koji – the fermented rice salt / rice vinegar ), konnyaku ( aka konjac ) which is called bloom for the stomach because of high dietary fiber contents, wakame which is Japanese seaweeds that contains both soluble and insoluble fibre ( same as konnyaku ) and dietary fibre-rich veggies! 😋⁠
⁠
Another healthy gut-friendly Japanese meal! 🙌⁠
⁠
Are you eating gut-friendly meals? 💕 ⁠

☕️ 'Ume-Sho Bancha' - Japanese Healing Tea ☕ ☕️ 'Ume-Sho Bancha' - Japanese Healing Tea ☕️⁠
⁠
The perfect Winter drink! It is called 'all cure tea' in macrobiotic and takes only one minute to make! 🤩 ⁠
⁠
'Ume-Sho Bancha” is a drink made by dissolving umeboshi, the Japanese salted plum and shoyu (soy sauce) in bancha (roasted green tea). You can also add grated ginger (in Japanese ginger is shoga) 🙌⁠
⁠
It is one of the traditional folk remedies used in Japan and its name originated from the 3 key ingredients described ✨⁠
⁠
Whenever you feel ill, try this ume-sho bancha. For a stronger effect,  try ume-sho kuzu with just simply adding kuzu into ume-sho bancha.  Also, it is more effective when taken when hungry or before meals 👏⁠
⁠
It is said to be effective for:⁠
• Recovery from:⁠
 • Fatigue⁠
 • Cold⁠
 • Upset stomach⁠
 • Loss of appetite⁠
• Improving the immune system⁠
⁠
For the recipe, visit my latest blog post from the link below or my blog link in my bio!💕 ⁠

🥢 Lentil and Veggie Curry 🥢⁠ ⁠ Having cu 🥢 Lentil and Veggie Curry 🥢⁠
⁠
Having curry with spices and lots of veggies is so important for this cold winter! ⁠
⁠
Turmeric — and especially its most active compound, Curcumin!, it's a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant 🙌⁠
⁠
I also added lots of onion, garlic and ginger which also have anti-inflammatory properties ⁠
⁠
Plus, lentils, celery, carrot and silverbeet – are full of dietary fibre and protein!⁠
⁠
I love Japanese curry but I didn’t make Japanese style because it has so much unhealthy fat and MSG unfortunately – stick to Indian curry powder for a stronger immune system for this winter! 💪🏻 ⁠
⁠
Who else loves Indian Curry? 😋⁠

💚 Vegan Cauliflower Pasta 💚 ⁠ ⁠ I love o 💚 Vegan Cauliflower Pasta 💚 ⁠
⁠
I love olive oil-based garlic pasta! I added lots of cauliflower. So yum! 😋 ⁠
⁠
Pasta meals tend to be carb-oriented, so I always try to add veggie side dishes which are: ⁠
⁠
Spinach and alfalfa salad with carrot miso dressing 🥬⁠
⁠
Kumura, cabbage, onion and carrot soup! 🥣⁠
⁠
Always fabulous to eat bright orange and green colour foods! ✨ ⁠

💚 Tofu Isobe Yaki Bowl 💚⁠ ⁠ Do you know 💚 Tofu Isobe Yaki Bowl 💚⁠
⁠
Do you know what Isobe is? 🤔⁠
⁠
The word “isobe” in Japanese means “rocky seashore.” ⁠
In Japan, rocky seashores have tons of seaweed, so any dish that uses seaweed and/or nori is often called “Isobe something.” Yaki means to bake or grill. ✨⁠
⁠
I make the batter using gluten-free tempura flour from @casalare and Aonori, the seaweed! 🥢⁠
⁠
I pan-fried tofu with this isobe batter and put on top of the rice with thickened homemade vegan tempura dipping sauce ⁠
⁠
Side dishes are homemade daikon ume pickles, bean sprout and wakame ( seaweed ) with sesame sauce, kinpira gobo ( burdock ) and miso soup 🙌⁠
⁠
Always happy to have a Japanese vegan gluten-free meal! 😋 ⁠
⁠
Have you tried Isobe Yaki or Isobe Age before? ⁠

🥢Nutritious and Healing Soba Noodle Soup 🥢 ⁠
⁠
Today’s soba noodle is healthier than usual! 💚⁠
⁠
I used organic 100% buckwheat organic soba from @spiralfoods ( regular soba contains about 20-30% buckwheat and the rest is white flour ) which means it's more nutritious than regular soba and gluten-free! ✨ ⁠
⁠
For soba broth, I use MSG free vegan dashi, sea salt, soy sauce then thicken with kuzu ( aka kudzu ) , which is ancient Japanese medicinal food. I take kuzu more often during winter to avoid getting sick! 💪🏻⁠
⁠
Side dishes are Yudofu, the warm tofu, Bean Goma ae and homemade cucumber pickles 🙌⁠
⁠
Yummy Japanese meal that is nutritious, healthy and healing – such a winning meal for this cold weather! 😊⁠
