Vegan JapanEasy: Classic & Modern Vegan Japanese Recipes to Cook at Home

Product Information

Miso soup, or misoshiru (味噌汁), is one of Japan’s most famous dishes. While a traditional miso soup is usually made using a mixture of dashi and miso paste, my mother’s recipe simply uses water and awase miso paste. Vegan Japaneasy begins with a section describing the power of umami. Tim credits umami with delivering a savouriness to food, and Japanese cooking is filled with it. So how can we inject vegan food with the same deliciousness? Apparently really easily. Tim describes how to wield nori seaweed and dried mushrooms to impart that umami ‘meatiness’ without using meat.

Ingredients: coconut oil; onions; bananas; tomato purée; peanut butter; curry powder; garam masala; dashi; soy sauce; chili sauce I’m essentially a lazy cook. I’m not great with long, complex process, fiddly techniques and extended ingredients lists that exhaust me just reading them. And I adore Japanese food in all its complexity and umami and brightness and lightness of touch. Vegan Japaneasy panders to me, my laziness and my craving for Japanese food whilst coincidentally being entirely vegan. It’s a wonderful, exciting, imaginative book and I’m excited to cook more from it.

C&M Travel Recruitment Ltd: Luxury Travel Consultant For this vegan tantanmen I’ve replaced ground meat with mushrooms, which give the dish lots of umami and earthiness. I’m using just a little gochujang to infuse some heat, but feel free to add more if you like it more fiery.

Tim’s recipe uses lashings of red miso, stirred into a hot dashi base. I’m using instant dashi powder, but Vegan Japaneasy has 3 or 4 different recipes to make vegan dashi from scratch.

Also on hand to add even more flavour are vegan sausages, jalapenos, garlic, lime and hot chilli sauce. It’s a beaut of a recipe. Full review Tantanmen is the Japanese version of Chinese dan dan noodles which are noodles and ground meat tossed in a fiery sauce. The main difference between the two is that the Japanese version is barely spicy. That’s because Japanese food in general is quite mild compared to other cuisines such as Chinese, Korean, or Indian.

Vegan - Yes! This book is all vegan recipes, and offers people ways to cook vegan food that they might be unfamiliar with. Donburi rice bowls are the quintessential Japanese comfort meal. “Donburi” refers to any bowl of rice topped with something – very easy to make vegan! Some recipes are inspiring but most of them rather basic. I think it could be a great present for someone who has very basic coking skills and is venturing into the plant-based food world. Wagashi is a category of desserts ranging from simple Mochi to street foods like Taiyaki, to more classical Nerikiri wagashi. Most wagashi is traditionally made from ingredients like rice flour, beans and agar. All plant-based! This is what makes these Japanese confections so different from Western desserts (and therefore suitable for vegans).

And that brings me to the best thing about Vegan Japaneasy: the recipes. I’ll admit to being sceptical. I’ve been to Japan twice. I’ve stayed and eaten in a vegan Buddhist temple for two nights. But let’s face it, a lot of what we ate (no, almost all of what we ate) was most definitely not plant based. And it was thoroughly delicious, to the point that Japanese is probably in my top three choices of world food. So how would, how could Tim create an ‘easy’ set of vegan Japanese dishes that would live up to my taste-buds’ memories? Well, it turns out that he’s not just laugh-out-loud witty, he’s very clever. He does exactly that.To be honest, this is barely a recipe. Boil the soba noodles according to the instructions and serve with his vegan tsuyu sauce. Zaru soba is one of my favorite "bachelor meals" so I didn't really need instructions, but I'm a completionist and think I might end up making everything in this book. This was much better than buying store bought tsuyu sauce, and about as easy.
