💣 BOMB vegan Japanese recipes YOU can make

Published 7 months ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

I was thinkin' that now that the HUGE eating that typically comes with Thanksgiving is behind us, it might be rad to share some lighter, more nourishing recipes with you that my family and I love. So, today you are getting a collection of seriously delicious, very clean, and just downright EASY vegan recipes from Japan!

⭐️WHY NOW? I am sharing these recipes because they are EASY and delicious. A perfect thing to get you stoked for the upcoming Veganuary program you are going to be rocking out in just a few weeks!

Listen, one of the things folks LOVE about cooking Japanese food at home, is you can easily make sure there's no prosense of bonito flakes (a common dried fish ingredient tons of Japanese restaurants use), and you don't need too many exotic ingredients. These recipes use a couple, to be honest, but I included links for you in case you want to order them, as well as suggested alternatives if you want to substitute them with something that's maybe already in your pantry.

First- there are a couple of very common Japanese seasonings that you can find vegan at stores, but I promise you they are stupid-easy to make at home, and I have recipes you should follow for stocking your pantry with 'em.

I am talking, of course, about furikake and shichimi togarashi. Order them online if you must (actually Trader Joe's makes a passable furikake, and it's cheap), but make them yourself? Highly reccomend!

🥰 Awwwright, m'love, here's a bunch of recipes I KNOW you will like!

Sunomono

Crisp, thinly sliced cucumber and tender wakame in a simple, well-balanced rice vinegar dressing. This Japanese cucumber salad recipe is ready in minutes, and it's a lovely light side dish or starter!

​

OK, OK- last one for today.

This was actutally one of the first few recipes I published to my blog. Why, you ask? Because it's super-goodly extra-special, and I knew folks needed to make it ASAP!

​

Happy cooking,

-Your vegan cooking buddy, Adam

Hey Reader, When my wife and I were in our early 20s, we had just had our first daughter and we lived in our "starter home" (can you believe our little old house in Keansburg NJ only cost $44k?!?). Anyway, we were young and broke and ate a lot of bagels from GEM's bagels a few blocks from our home. Our fave now is Bagel Station in Red Bank, which I gotta say, makes a much better bagel than GEM's, but we didn't know any better back then, I guess. Anyway, since we were pretty scrappy, we were...
