🌱 Vegan & gluten-free! - 🍅 Tomato and garlic 🌱 Vegan & gluten-free! - 🍅 Tomato and garlic pasta!⁠
⁠
Tomatoes are in season here in Sydney and I have more than 1 kg of tomato in my veggie box, so I decided to make some pasta.⁠
⁠
I slow cooked lots of garlic in olive oil to infuse the garlic flavour and added chopped tomato afterwards. Next, add some Chinese broccoli and chilli topped with home made basil and coriander pasta. ⁠
⁠
I'm trying to avoid gluten as much as possible so I used some gluten-free pasta. Always great to have seasonal veggies – cheaper and contain more nutrition!🤩🤩⁠

❣️ Traditional Japanese Breakfast ❣️ ⁠
⁠
Do I eat like this every day? I wish.. but I don’t.⁠
⁠
This set includes:⁠
- Rice + quinoa ⁠
- Zucchini miso soup ⁠
- Nori ⁠
- Arame nimono ⁠
- Yellow capsicum goma ae ⁠
- Natto (fermented soybeans)⁠
- Pumpkin nimono ⁠
- Home made daikon pickles ⁠
⁠
Did I cook everything from scratch? Of course not! ⁠
⁠
Nimono (simmered dishes) were made two days ago, and pickles were made over a week ago. In Japan, we cook dishes in bulk and eat a bit throughout the week. I only cook fresh rice and miso soup but still I won’t eat like this.⁠
⁠
Even though its mostly cooked in advance, it still takes time to prepare a traditional Japanese meal, but it’s my time investment for my health and happiness!😁 ⁠
⁠
❓️Does your favourite meal make you happy❔⁠

🍜 Vegan stir fried Bifun 🍜 ⁠ ⁠ 'Bifun' i 🍜 Vegan stir fried Bifun 🍜 ⁠
⁠
'Bifun' is thin rice noodles or vermicelli. I have no clue why we call this thin rice noodle 'bifun' in Japan. Anyways, I got organic bifun from @spiralfoods and stir fried it with lots of veggies🌱 like cabbage, carrot, Chinese broccoli and shallot, plus some aburaage (deep fried tofu).⁠
⁠
This is a light noodle dish with lots of veggies, which is gluten free and vegan!😋😋⁠

⏱️ 20 minutes 1kg mushroom cooking challenge ⏱️⁠
⁠
I had a kilogram of flat mushrooms that need to be consumed quickly, but I have 20mins to spare to prepare the meal…solution?  I put mushroom, cabbage, carrot and red lentil in a pressure cooker and cooked it for 8 minutes. Because of the mushroom, the dish turned black, but the taste was so good!!🤩🤩 I served it with quinoa + white rice and green salad.⁠
⁠
I guess it is possible to prepare nutritious vegan meal quickly!😜🌱⁠
⁠
✔︎PS: I added Indian curry powder and a little bit of Japanese curry roux (naughty! It does contain MSG and lots of fat… ) next day and enjoy it as a curry (it still looked black) on the next day to change the flavour a little bit.⁠

🌱 Natto Soba Salad 🌱⁠ ⁠ Cold soba noodle 🌱 Natto Soba Salad 🌱⁠
⁠
Cold soba noodles are always perfect for a hot summers day, so here's an easy, healthy and quick vegan lunch that you can make in just 10 minutes! ⁠
⁠
Traditional cold soba is called “ zaru soba", which is basically just carbs, so it's not as healthy.🙅🏻‍♀️ So I made a healthier version - Soba salad packed with veggies, protein and fermented foods!😋😋⁠
⁠
I used 100% organic buckwheat soba from @spiralfoods – which means this is gluten-free and contains more nutrition! (do you know regular soba only contains 20-30% buckwheat and the rest is just refined flour?) ⁠
⁠
I mixed some soba, shredded ice burg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, edamame and homemade vegan mentsuyu (dipping sauce for noodle), and topped it with alfalfa and natto (fermented soybeans) ⁠
⁠
Side dish is peeled tomato marinade in sushi vinegar – super refreshing!🤩🤩⁠

🥳 Isobe age time! 🥳⁠ ⁠ 'Isobe-age' is a 🥳 Isobe age time! 🥳⁠
⁠
'Isobe-age' is a type of tempura made with the batter with Aonori, the seaweed! I had lots of mushrooms so I decided to make Mushroom isobe age!🍄⁠
⁠
✔︎Other dishes included are:⁠
- Cucumber, wakame (yep, more seaweed!) and peeled tomato sunomono ⁠
- Kinpira gobo ⁠
- Home made tsukemono – miso marinaded choko and daikon in umeboshi vinegar ⁠
- Brown rice with black sesame ⁠
- Zucchini and Koya dofu (freeze dried tofu) miso soup ⁠
⁠
This meal is filled with dietary fiber and fermented foods – amazing for our gut health (= happy mind & stronger immune system).😋😋⁠
⁠
It does take a while to prepare a full Japanese meal but it does make me happy and healthier! I love investing my time for my health and happiness!🌱💚⁠
⁠
❓Do you invest your precious time to cook a nice, healthy meal❔⁠
