Those of you that have become regular readers may have caught on to the fact that I have a pension for deep frying. As part of my mission to make vegan food more accessible to the public at large, I like to offer a counterpoint to the typical image of the sprouts and tofu idea [...][...]

Sesame Balls
After finally getting around to making mochi I decided to take on my favorite dim sum dessert (mostly because it uses pretty much the same ingredients). Sesame balls (jin deui, Jian dui, or jen dai) are traditionally popular around Chinese new years but can be found year round at Chinese bakeries an[...]

The hard working folks over at Chicago Soy Dairy have been hard at work reformulating their Teese recipe.

Fried Brussels Sprouts
So, I actually love Brussels sprouts. That is, if they are prepared well. If care is not taken, Brussels sprouts can be a little bitter and off putting. Usually I like to roast or caramelize them, but that can take time. I also like any excuse to throw something in the deep fryer. This is [...][...]

Vegan Deep Fried Twinkies
September is fair season up here in Washington. While I have no real interest in attending most state fairs, I do have a love of bizarre fried foods. Inspired by the fair’s relentless media campaign, I picked up a brace of Dillos from Sidecar and headed home to heat up the fryer.[...]
