Vegan Brioche And How My Grandmother Saved My Father’s Life

My father told me the story about my grandmother and the rice paddy several years after she’d passed away. It was just one of many stories I discovered long after I could ask her about them myself. I wish I’d known, better, the kind of woman who raised me.

Often times, stories like these remain undiscovered. It’s easy to get so preoccupied by daily life that we don’t even bother to scratch the surface of the people we take for granted. I truly never appreciated how much my father depended on his mother until I saw him completely fall apart the morning she died.

That is the kind of effect a mother can have on her child.

You can get the recipe for this plant-based brioche TODAY as part of the Bonus Chapter of my forthcoming book, The Korean Vegan Homemade. You can download the Bonus Chapter, along with another essay about my grandmother, RIGHT NOW if you preorder a copy of the book. Check out the Homemade Preorder Portal (https://thekoreanvegan.com/the-korean-vegan-homemade/) for more details on how to get the Bonus Chapter and a bunch of other freebies today!

Vegan Filipino Spaghetti.

As an Asian American who also happens to be vegan, I sometimes find myself occupying a strange place—on the one hand, I’m very familiar with the harm of othering language or behavior, the damage caused by cultural insensitivity around food. On the other hand, my personal values dictate against eating many of the foods that are very endemic to my culture. I think many people have concluded that these are mutually exclusive. That’s a shame. It’s very possible to remain respectful and inclusive towards other people’s cultures, their stories, and even the trauma surrounding those stories, while still being true to your values and ethics.
.
I can’t even tell you how nostalgic it was for me to make this Filipino spaghetti!! That first bite was unREAL—it tasted EXACTLY like I remembered. Growing up, I thought it was just “spaghetti,” because that’s what my mom called it. It wasn’t until I got to college that I learned that most people did NOT put hot dogs and red bell peppers and ketchup in their spaghetti. So, I thought it must be just a thing my mom did. And now, all these decades later, I learn that this is Filipino Spaghetti, which makes sense since my mom’s best friend at work was Filipino and Omma borrowed Filipino recipes from her friend and made them for us at home (chicken adobo was one of my FAVORITES growing up!).
.
Here’s the #recipe for my vegan version, which, with the exception of Banana Sauce and syrup, is a one-for-one vegan replica of my mother’s spaghetti (she used plain Ketchup instead of Banana Sauce and sugar instead of syrup):

2/3 cup walnuts
5 medium baby bella mushrooms
1 tablespoon oil
3 vegan hot dogs, sliced on a bias
1/2 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Banana Sauce (or Ketchup)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 container Prego tomato sauce (this is what my mom used!)
Optional: 1/4 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon sweetener (I used brown rice syrup)
1 lb cooked spaghetti noodles
1/4 cup shredded vegan cheddar cheese

Place your walnuts and mushrooms into a food processor and pulse about 10 times, until you get a crumbly texture that looks a lot like ground beef. Add oil to a large pan over medium high heat. When it begins to shimmer, add your vegan hot dogs and cooked until browned (about 3 minutes). Remove from pan and set aside. To the same pan, add onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Saute for about 3 minutes, until onions become translucent and garlic is fragrant. Add Banana Sauce and tomato paste and stir until pan contents are evenly coated. Add Prego tomato sauce and stir. Lower heat to medium low, add back hot dogs, and continue to cook for about 15 minutes, until sauce has reduced a little bit and gotten nice and thick (almost like a gravy). If your sauce gets too thick, add a tablespoon or two of vegetable broth to slacken it. Serve with cooked spaghetti noodles and garnish with vegan shredded cheese.

Braised Greens And Beans And Booknerd Becomes An Author! #recipe #food #toast

Watch the full interview with my lit agent:

Have you ever wanted to write a book? Get a book published? Tell your story to more than you diary? This was the secret dream I had when Charlie asked me “Do you want to write a book?” This week on Are You Ready, I sat down with my lit agent, Charlie Brotherstone, and asked him all the questions that many would-be authors are curious about:

How do I get noticed by a lit agent?
What goes into the perfect book proposal?
What kind of offer can a first time author expect?

But more important than all of that has been Charlie’s partnership. He’s been a mentor, protector, and even a therapist, at times, and through it all, my Agent.
.
For this toast,

2 pieces of good bread
2 tbsp EVOO
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chopped leafy greens (I used kale and dandelion)
1 tbsp doenjang
1 cup lupino beans
4 cups vegetable broth
lemon zest
black pepper

I toasted up some really good bread and then braised some greens (kale and dandelion) with garlic, doenjang, lupini beans, and vegetable broth for about 40 minutes. I finished the braised greens with a bit of lemon zest at the very end, before scooping some over my toast with a zap of black pepper and a little EVOO. It was PERFECT with an icy cold beverage and my book (Being & Nothingness).
