Rocking vegan seafood with the Whole Hearts of Palm from Whole Foods. There are 5 pieces, I used 4 for my vegan calamari (recipe by simpleveganblog) and the rest with leftover beans to make vegan tuna sandwich. Happy tummy more

My first tempeh purchase!! Hailing from Southeast Asia, it’s a pleasant surprise to find this specialty Indonesian ingredient and I just had to grab it. Made great tasting snacks with this, and can’t wait to put the rest to work!

We’ve been using this ranch sauce for our kale salads for the longest time, even as flexitarians/omnivores. Always hits the spot and turn any salad into really good salad.

Grateful to have a Joe & the Juice with delicious treats like this in the same building as my usual WeWork location. There’s a sweet and savoury goodness coming from the good amount of nut butter. Love the crunch from granola. more

Nooch is literally the best pantry item. I bought this sometime back, but it’s routinely appearing in my Veganuary bakes, pastas, and stir-fries. It not only gives food a nice umami flavor, it is highly nutritious (complete more

Arctic Zero

Sorbet like texture, pistachio-ameretto flavor. There are instructions to microwave it for 30s for a creamier texture, and I haven’t done that just because it felt counterintuitive to microwave ice cream? Will circle back more

I’m back on the app with #veganuary .
While I’m not new to the idea of soy chicken commonly found in Asian vegetarian food, this version of mock chicken pieces had a new twist and packs a crunch when pan-fried.
