💫Philippines Vegan Cuisine💫

Hello and welcome to the Curry Cravings blog!!



Here, we will help you understand the essence of veganism and its significance in different countries of Asia.

Our star country for this week is the Philippines! 

The vegan culture in the Philippines is rapidly expanding, fueled by a rising awareness of health, environmental sustainability, and animal rights. While the country has a reputation for its meat-heavy traditional dishes, the vegan movement is undeniably gaining traction, especially in urban areas.

The connection between veganism and sustainability is significant in the Philippines. As the country faces issues such as deforestation and climate change-induced typhoons, many people are adopting plant-based diets to lessen their environmental impact.

Here is a list of a few vegan dishes from the Philippines:

This is the list of foods that are already vegan:

  • Laing: Taro leaves cooked in coconut milk with chili and spices.
  • Ginataang Gulay: Vegetables cooked in coconut milk.
  • Pinakbet: A mixed vegetable dish with squash, eggplant, okra, and bitter melon.

  • Ensaladang Talong: Grilled eggplant salad with onions, tomatoes, and vinegar.

  • Ginisang Monggo: Mung bean stew with garlic, onions, and leafy greens.
  • Adobong Kangkong: Water spinach stir-fried in soy sauce and vinegar.
  • Banana Heart (Puso ng Saging) Salad: A salad made from banana blossoms.
  • Champorado: Sweet chocolate rice porridge made with plant-based milk.

This is the list of foods that can be turned vegan:

  • Vegan Adobo: Made with tofu, mushrooms, or jackfruit instead of meat.
  • Vegan Kare-Kare: A peanut-based stew with vegetables, tofu, or tempeh.
  • Vegan Sinigang: A sour tamarind soup with tofu and vegetables.
  • Bicol Express: Coconut milk-based dish with chili and jackfruit or mushrooms.
  • Pancit Canton/Bihon: Noodles stir-fried with vegetables and tofu, omitting animal-based sauces.
  • Lumpiang Gulay: Spring rolls filled with vegetables.
This list demonstrates the versatility of Filipino cuisine and illustrates how traditional dishes can be easily adapted to a vegan lifestyle. Many of these dishes showcase the abundance of tropical fruits, vegetables, and coconut-based ingredients found in the Philippines.
The vegan culture in the Philippines is evolving, merging traditional flavors with modern advocacy to support a growing community. Although challenges persist, the future appears promising as awareness spreads through generations.
