#### **Vegan takoyaki recipe adapted from Japan Vegan Town**

#### Takoyaki, which translates to “octopus balls” in Japanese, is ubiquitous in markets all over Asia. The street food originates from Osaka, Japan and is traditionally made with an egg-rich batter ladled into small round pans and stuffed with cubes of octopus.

#### Today, plenty of varieties exist as modern day cooks have personalised the snack to their liking. So why not make a vegan version that uses no eggs nor any animal-based derivatives? Here, Japan Vegan Town has provided a recipe that’s as authentic as it gets. 

#### It calls for two Japanese ingredients that can be omitted if they’re too difficult to find where you are: yamaimo powder and konjac in block form. The former is derived from a mountain tuber which adds chewiness to the batter while the konjac – or arrowroot which is cubed in the recipe – mimics the texture of octopus.

#### To truly attain the flair of the street food staple, drizzle okonomi sauce and vegan mayonnaise instead of the dipping sauce.

#### One thing that can’t be left out though, is the specialised takoyaki pan. Consider it a small investment, especially if it’s a recipe you’ll be making over and over again.

` `  
**Time needed:** 45 minutes` `  
**Servings:** Makes 16 balls` `  
**Difficulty:** Intermediate` `  
` `  
` `  
**Ingredients**` `  
` `  
**For the dumpling filling**` `  
200g rice flour` `  
3g potato starch` `  
1.5g baking powder` `  
A pinch of salt` `  
5g corn flour` `  
7g yamaimo powder` `  
3g Japanese-style soup stock (powder)` `  
100ml water` `  
150ml soy milk` `  
1 king oyster mushroom` `  
A pinch of salt` `  
2 tsp sake` `  
30g konjac block (konnyaku)` `  
2 tsp of soy sauce` `  
An appropriate amount of green onion` `  
An appropriate amount of red pickled ginger` `  
An appropriate amount of oil` `  
` `  
**Dipping sauce**` `  
5g Japanese-style soup stock (powder) ` `  
200ml water` `  
An appropriate amount of mitsuba or Japanese wild parsley` `  
` `  
` `  
**Method**` `  
` `  
Cut the king trumpet mushroom into 1.5cm squares. Fry it in a pan and add a pinch of salt and sake.` `  
` `  
Next, if you’re using konjac, first remove the lye. To do so, rinse the konjac and cut it into bite-sized pieces with a spoon. Rub the konjac pieces with salt and boil it in a saucepan for two to three minutes. Rinse and drain konjac in a fine-mesh sieve.` `  
` `  
Put konjac in a hot pan, add soy sauce and then stir-fry.` `  
` `  
Finely chop green onions and red pickled gingers.` `  
` `  
Mix rice flour, potato starch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix.` `  
` `  
Put corn flour, yamaimo flour, Japanese-style soup stock, water, soy milk in another bowl and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, transfer it into the large bowl in step 5. Then, mix until frothy.` `  
` `  
Heat the takoyaki pan and oil each hole.` `  
` `  
Spoon in the batter to overfill the cups. Place mushrooms and konjac in the centre of each cup.
` `  
` `  
As it starts to cook, sprinkle the green onions and gingers on top.` `  
` `  
After a minute, using your skewer or toothpick, grab the edge of the takoyaki ball and flip it over so the other side can start to cook. Keep continuously rotating them until they are completely round and golden brown.` ` 
` `  
` `  
For the dipping sauce, put the Japanese-style soup stock and water in a small saucepan and boil it. Then, add an appropriate amount of mitsuba or Japanese wild parsley.` `

#### **Recipe for pea and coconut soup by Chef Cynthia Louise**

#### Pea lovers will love this soup. The color is so inviting and the texture is super creamy. 

#### While the pea flavor is the dominant one, you'll also taste a subtle hint of exotic coconut, which provides a nice twist. I love serving this soup with a drizzle of olive oil and homemade croutons. 

#### This pea soup made it to the list of my favourites because of very special memories it holds. My dad loved peas. He would always have them on his plate at dinner time, whether he was having a steak or roast chicken. 

#### I think of him as a pea connoisseur because he had a special way of cooking peas and would never allow anyone else to cook them. I found it annoying when he would tell me off, but now I would give anything to have my dad tell me to leave the peas for him to cook. I miss him so much! 

#### It's such mundane moments that enrich our existence, and food is the messenger of these beautiful memories.

Make this pea and coconut soup to start your meal

Delicious! I have hardly ever tried to incorporate quinoa into ‘asian’ styled and flavoured dishes but I am so excited to! Will try it this weekend! 🤩

@xnatt08 Being Peruvian, I always try to incorporate it in several dishes! I’ve tried it in makis too! let me know how it goes!! 🤩

𝑳𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈! 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒕!

Gonna put this on my list of quarantine foods 👌🏻

I was looking for an easy meal and I just tried it! It tasted great and actually Japanese! I just used whatever ingredients I had at home - shiitake, tomatoes, edamame and garlic. It still tasted great and Japanese! Thanks for this! 🎎

@herbimetal omg! That’s amazing! Thanks for making a new version of this recipe! It’s very versatile. 😍

@moraviajetariana yeah. It's cool to know that you're from Peru but you also could create a Japanese recipe. I'm not too good with creating recipes from particular cuisines. I usually try to cut corners and just throw everything together and boil or stir fry to save time

This is guiltless version the traditional Japanese Yakimeshi is hearty, delicious and easy to make with ingredients you probably already have lying around the house!

![Quinoa Yakimeshi](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/gxrexkdkue7xmuz8lett/1588235927.jpg/w=700)

### **Quinoa Yakimeshi**
#### Also known as Chahan, Quinoa Yakimeshi is a gluten-free, protein and fibre rich take on the traditional Japanese fried rice dish. This recipe, while different, is savory, delicious and satiating.
 
- Serves: 4 people
- Preparation time: 10 min
- Cooking time: 35 min

### **Ingredients**
- 2 cups white quinoa

- 250g white mushrooms, sliced*

- 3 stalks green onions, finely chopped

- 1 medium red pepper, diced

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 4 tbsp light soy sauce

- 1 tsp Sunflower oil (or other vegetable oils)

- Sesame oil to taste

- White and black sesame seeds (garnish)

- *You can swap out for shiitake or portobello mushrooms. 

![Yakimeshi](https://imagedelivery.net/olI9wp0b6luWFB9nPfnqjQ/res/abillionveg/image/upload/leu6wcoj3ynlj5z1zinh/1588235929.jpg/w=700)

### **Method**

1. Wash and drain the quinoa with water at least 3 times to remove its natural bitterness. In a heated pan or wok, add the quinoa for 30 seconds to allow the moisture to evaporate a little.

2. Add 3 cups of tap water to the pot. When the quinoa begins to boil, lower the fire and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until there is almost no water left and the quinoa grains have sprouted. Set aside to cool.

3. Heat the oil in a pan and add in the diced onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Add in 2 tbsp light soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste and stir fry over medium heat.

4. When the veggies start browning, add in dry quinoa 1/2 cup at a time, stirring and folding in the vegetables. Add 2 tbsp more soy sauce and salt to taste. Stir and cook evenly for 1-2 minutes.

5. Serve with sesame seeds, a drizzle of soy sauce, and sesame oil. Itadakimasu!
