Recipe: A Vegan Chilli

By: kit Published: Jan 5th 2017

For prosperity*, I am writing down this recipe as I’ve used roughly these steps for the vegetarian taco rice lunches that began popping up after committing* to a 2016 “Vegtember”. The chilli can be made completely vegan and there are a few tricks used to maximize umami and keep a savoury sweetness. Essentially, it can be divided into […]

Purple, Green & Gold

Purple, Green & Gold
By: kit Published: Aug 22nd 2012

More than a week ago, I finally got around to soaking some mung beans to sprout them. I’ve never attempted that before, and I’ve since learnt that the fat-root commercial variety is probably weighted down to encourage growth. But having more vegetables available is a welcome addition to meals, especially one which contains a dose […]

Vegan Jewelbox

Vegan Jewelbox
By: kit Published: Jul 18th 2012

An unexpected trip into town meant that I had a bit of time to be a good little consumer. As it is far easier to “stock up while you can” I opted for ‘pantry’ items rather than items needing immediate refrigeration. Although I can make it myself, I still haven’t gotten my kimchi as crisp, […]

Recipe: Ovenated Ganmodoki

Ovenated Ganmadoki
By: kit Published: Jul 18th 2012

Ganmodoki, according to Wikipedia means ‘imitation goose’ which was developed from vegan buddhist cuisine in Japan. Though the dish is traditionally deep fried, I like to avoid using or cooking items that get hotter than boiling water*. Even if the texture is not equivalent to being totally immersed in hot, hot oil I find I […]

Feeling a Little Zen

Feeling a Little Zen
By: kit Published: Jul 12th 2012

After the previous vegetarian stint it wasn’t too hard to upgrade (or is that downgrade?) to vegan level. I had bought konnyaku from a ‘rare ingredients’ shopping trip (short grain rice is difficult to find around here 🙁 ); though I am still not convinced of its effect as a ‘diet food’. Mainly containing fibre […]

Summer Onigiri

Summer Onigiri
By: kit Published: Jul 8th 2012

Another year, another Bento & Co contest. I have been rather depressed with what seems to be a great deal of effort expended to participate yet I’ve not even gotten into the shortlist. But I guess I’m masochistic – or just stubbornly holding on to the idea that I can win a new lunchbox rather […]

Brinjal Bhaji with Dumplings

Brinjal Bhaji with Dumplings
By: kit Published: Mar 13th 2012

I very much like eggplant – it would be one of the only proper vegetables that encourages me to consider being vegetarian (except I like meat too much!) Fried or BBQ’d are my favourite treatments, but as it soaks up oil like a sponge I feel it’s a bit of a ‘naughty’ food. So to […]

Recipe: Ginger Eggplant

Ginger Eggplant
By: kit Published: Feb 1st 2012

I have seen various references to ginger eggplant recipes but have been experimenting with my own version. As a lover of eggplant I’ve always savoured the opportunity in adding it to meals I prepare. In lunch situations I like to keep watery items to a bare minimum so that was one of the main reasons […]

Vegetarian Makizushi

Vegetarian Makizushi
By: kit Published: Jul 28th 2011

I wanted to see if I could construct a makizushi that had lots of flavour, but I think the result was too odd even for my tastes. If it wasn’t for the lumpia this bento would of been vegetarian, so just imagine that it is. Top tier contents: vegetarian makizushi (roast capsicum, pickled jalepeno, spring […]

Ganmadoki & Onigiri

Ganmodoki & Onigiri
By: kit Published: May 7th 2010

I wanted to try out some vegetarian sides and came across ganmadoki, though I think mine are a tad on the ‘dark’ side. They consist of tofu and a bunch of other ingredients, and stem from vegan buddist cuisine. This was surprisingly a good feed despite being vegetarian, though I’d rather stick to the real […]
