I really don't know how to put this, but I'm really not used to oils, any oils. I know many of you love olive oils, and I tried so many times to like it in my life, but it is what it is; I really prefer my food without oil. So I made hummus without oil. I love hummus, but store-bought hummus is too oily for me. So I made my own Yuki Hummus without oil. Sure, it's not as creamy as the one you like, but so far I'm really happy with my recipe. I hope you like it too! Creamy Classic Hummus … [Read more...]
Almond Milk Tutorial
Ever since I cut milk, I've been welcoming non-dairy milk in my diet. I started off with soy milk because it was easy to find in Japan. It was good until I did a little bit more research which shows almond milk has slightly more benefits than soy milk. I also discovered Japan imports a lot of soy from the USA, which means most soy milk in Japan probably contains some GMO. So I decided to switch to almond milk. But did you know that no one in Japan knows what almond milk is? Even I didn't know it … [Read more...]
6 reasons why you should avoid vegetable oil
Vegetable oils are NOT healthy. Many people believe that vegetable oils are healthy. It's called "Salad Oil" in my country, and my mother had been feeding me with this toxin until the day I left Japan for school. I don't blame her. It's 100% false advertising and there is no way you can detect the bullshit if you live normally. Vegetable oil makes you exceedingly vulnerable to cancer. Every mouthful of vegetable oil you consume takes you one step closer to a deadly outcome. Every mouthful of … [Read more...]

Neatloaf
It's not meatloaf. It's "Neatloaf"! Neatloaf and I first met at a restaurant called Jyoti-Bihanga in San Diego back in 2011. It was love at first "bite". It was so juicy, so tender, and it gave me a sense of hope that I will have no problem becoming fully vegetarian one day. It was one of those unforgettable moments where you know for sure that you will remember for the rest of your life. But just like any other love stories, there was a tragedy; I had to move out of San Diego! Neatloaf … [Read more...]
Domo-kun Christmas Pudding
When a Japanese girl keeps making Christmas pudding every month, she eventually wonders if she could break the British tradition and make it more Japan. It was a fine morning in early April when I was making my 4th Christmas Pudding in Bangkok, an idea popped up in my mind. "I think I could just ditch the pudding bowl and use a square container instead... Then it will probably look something like....*gasp!* Domo kun!!" While my pudding was marinating in the refrigerator, I ran to a baking … [Read more...]
No sugar Healthy Classic Christmas Pudding
It's always bitter-sweet when you remember your ex-boyfriend's family recipe, and this Christmas Pudding is no exception. I thought about deleting this post, as our break-up was exceptionally bitter.

So there you go, Grandma's Christmas Pudding! I had to alter the recipe a bit, since I do not eat suet. So, … [Read more...]
Homemade Gluten Free Flour
Gluten is a sticky, stretchable protein found in grains like wheat, barley, oats, and rye. I love gluten. In fact, I take it a bit too much lately. Pizza, bread, pasta... all my favorite foods contain gluten, even in my soy souse! So I decided to take less gluten when I'm home cooking for me and my boyfriend just because we think it might be better not to be "gluten overloaded". You need to avoid gluten completely if you have celiac disease or some sensitivity to it. So if you are one of … [Read more...]
How to make Veggie Meat
"Don't you miss eating meat?" People ask this often. I've been studying so many kinds of spices and flavoring ideas ever since I became vegetarian. I've learned that there are a ton of ways of the cooking technique that I have never heard of or even think of. So my answer to the question is "no". I don't miss meat, because my eating got so much more interesting than before, knowing so many interesting ways of being a vegetarian. Have you had veggie burgers before? It was 2011 when I had my … [Read more...]
Chewbacca Hummus
When I first saw Star Wars, I didn't really understand it. I was around 9, keeping myself busy with learning how to write my name in Kanji, so I figured I was just too little to understand it. A decade later, I watched it again with a grown-up mind, and I remember I loved it, but I also remember I still didn't really understand it. Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, wants to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall ewoks? Instead of looking for an answer, I decided to create a food … [Read more...]
