Product Information

Nice change from the usual fried rice, will make again. Used more scallion since we didn’t have wild garlic.

This book combines simple, fresh ingredients with straightforward recipes to make the best part of Japanese cuisine: home cooking. Nachdem nun die wichtigsten Grundzutaten erklärt wurden, geht es auch schon mit dem Kapitel “Gewürze, Saucen & Dressings” richtig los.

The American chef suggests serving curry broth with the noodles, a lighter vegan alternative to meaty broth.

So habe ich oft nach einem Gemüse oder Zutat im Register gesucht, dass ich zu Hause habe und mir ein Gericht ausgesucht. The book looks stunning. So pretty, so well designed, flawless. The content of the book however, is a different story. In Vegan Japaneasy, Tim Anderson taps into Japan’s rich culture of cookery that’s already vegan or very nearly vegan, so there are no sad substitutes and zero shortcomings on taste. From classics like Vegetable Tempura, Onigiri, Mushroom Gyoza and Agedashi Tofu, to clever vegan conversions including Cauliflower Katsu Curry, French Onion Ramen and Mapo Tofu with Ancient Grains, you don’t need to be vegan to enjoy this tasty recipes. Add to that some outrageously good drinks and desserts, like the Watermelon Mojito and Soy Sauce Butterscotch Brownies, and you’ll be spoilt for choice! Buy Vegan Japaneasy by Tim Anderson.

this books graphics was so pretty so i was excited to read it but the author was a bit of a let down. now i dont necessarily think you have to be vegan or Japanese to write cook book on the subject but in this case i think it wouldve helped. he starts off by saying you dont need to add vegan versions of meat or anything to make good Japanese meals as they have enough that is already vegan and yummy (woohoo), yet half way through he went on about how he thinks that the recipes HES WRITTEN arent even good enough to be the "real" thing (boo).

Cooking Japanese food through a vegan lens

The book includes a huge number of recipes that are easy, to begin with, as well as some that will carry on being delicious long after you’ve perfected your skills.

This book is useful if you want some mid-week meals that don't take a lot of prep time, and feel daunted by the thought of doing Japanese food without fish. Really yummy, feels decadent and perfect if you are a bit sloshed. Did it once making fresh rice and it wasn't as good. The toppings make the dish The use of spices isn’t very common in Japanese cooking which means that their palate isn’t trained to handle a lot of heat. Overall I wasn't a huge fan of the writing style introducing recipes. It just was too, almost, obnoxious. I'm now second-guessing my pronunciation of "sake." I take it from the way the author write that they are not vegan. Of course, you don't have to be vegan to write a vegan cookbook, but it sure helps. Talking about how you are a sushi purist and sushi isn't the right word for vegan sushi isn't very helpful to vegans (same goes to the word burgers). There are just some words in the world of cooking that don't (yet?) have vegan equivalents but that have recipes that can be veganized. It oddly felt like vegan-shaming in the middle of a vegan cookbook. Which is just rather strange.If you like mochi you will love mitarashi dango. The texture is very similar to mochi but less stretchy. You get the delicate sweetness of the rice and the dango balls are coated in a sweet and savory soy glaze. It’s very easy to make! This light-hearted Japanese cookbook is a wonderful choice for anyone who’s fed up with the occasionally-snobby vibe that some cookbooks can give off.

Recipes that I've tried and loved: Mapo Tofu, French Onion Ramen, Surprisingly Awesome One-Hour Spicy Sesame Aubergine and Courgette Ramen, Iced Summer Somen with Lemon, Rough Night Rice" just to name a few. This book promises to teach you to leave those instant pots behind and make a wonderful bowl of ramen completely from scratch. It’s so nice to see a cookbook for vegan Japanese recipes. I always avoid Japanese as I think it will all be fishy, but this sounds great. Thanks for the recommendation. Reply What makes this dish stand out is in the way it’s prepared – the eggplant is sliced in half, scored, and pan fried until it gets a lovely char that adds a smoky element. The sweet and savory miso glaze is then brushed on top and broiled until it bubbles and caramelizes.Break up the rice with a wooden spoon or spatula as you stir fry, ensuring that there are no clumps. When the rice has absorbed all the liquid in the pan, add the spring onions, pepper and white sesame seeds. Japanese cuisine is much more vegan friendly than you might think, and this book will show you how, with a few simple substitutions, you can make vegan spins on Japanese classics.
