Greetings, sweet ones! As many of you know, I just returned from my trip to California. There were many great aspects to my business/pleasure trip, but one of the best was meeting so many fantabulous people! One such human was Miyoko Schinner, whom I met at the San Francisco World Veg Fest (we were both speakers there). And you know what's really cool? I've been an admirer of her books for about twenty years (ever since I became vegan) and found out that she's an absolute foodie soul sister. Not just that, she's the queen of vegan Japanese cuisine and just a really sweet, lovely person. Oh, and also - her vegan recipes ROCK!
So, we've decided to do a giveaway of her two books (pictured in her mitts) right here, right now! The contest ends on October 26th and the winner will be selected at random. Please and sorry, only U.S. residents may enter. How to enter? Do these easy peasy THREE things:
1. Reply to this blog post with your answer to the question "What is your favorite vegan Japanese food?"
2. Follow this blog, if you aren't already (scroll down & click to "join this site")
3. "Like" my facebook page and Miyoko's facebook page, where we'll be announcing the winner on October 26th. You must pay attention, as we will not hire a private investigator to find you if you win!
Good luck, and now let's all go eat vegan sushi!!!
I'm ready to win! It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'll go with sushi because that way I can have many varieties! Of course you can also give me anything with shiitake mushrooms. Thanks for suggesting Miyoko's page.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Japanese food is Vegan Gyoza!!! I could eat way too many of those... hehe
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Miyoko & vegan Japanese cuisine...
ReplyDeleteSo many choices for favorite, but if I do have to choose one, it would be reversed wrapped nori tempura asparagus sushi ... I would LOVE to win her cookbooks (fingers entwined for luck & skill in answering the question). I already follow your wonderful blog & super "LIKE" both of your Facebook pages. ALSO, I AM VERY EASY TO FIND ! ! !

PS I also LOVE the beauty of the tea ceremony ... followed a bit later with the celebratory sake ceremony with my sushi.
ReplyDeleteoooops, forgot to put toasted sesame seeds on the outside of my vegan tempura asparagus sushi ... sorry cuz it is an essential touch that puts it over the top - AND - of course, don't forget the tamari, sliced ginger & WASABI ! ! !
ReplyDeleteVegetarian Dotenabe soup soup soup! Soup is my favorite food. So many kinds. Dotenabe is light and nutritious. I also love tempura asparagus sushi and I know just where to go in town to get the best.

I LOVE springrolls and asparagus wraps! Japanese cuisine is so perfect as it is already mostly vegan and so healthy! The flavors are vibrant and satisfying.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to choose because I love so much Japanese cuisine... But my main go to is veggie nori rolls. So good!
ReplyDeleteI love homemade miso soup and nori rolls! delish!
ReplyDeleteI love miso soup with wakame and tofu (miso anything, really), and mochi!
ReplyDeleteMy friend visited from Japan & introduced me to the wonderful sensai (mountain vegetables)over noodles.

I love me some miso soup, and inari sushi stuffed with extras are fabulous, as with a good roll of veggies and nori.
ReplyDeleteHow come I have never heard of Miyoko? I adore Japanese food so I will have to check her out!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite Japanese meals - so simple, yet so good (love the enoki mushrooms!): http://tastespace.wordpress.com/2010/08/14/silken-tofu-topped-with-enoki-mushrooms-tofu-no-enoki-an-kake/

ReplyDeleteIf you're a meat eater, will you eat completely vegan, health food for a dollar? Somebody did in this video. Warning: it's not your typical organic food though. http://youtu.be/IXTHDnq_tuQ

Veggie sushi and miso soup!
ReplyDeleteI love miso soup with a little tofu in. My other fave is cold soba noodles sprinkled with green onions and shichimi togarashi.
ReplyDeleteI love Avocado rolls and prefer them in Brown Rice.
ReplyDeleteMiso soup, seaweed salad, spinach goma-ae
ReplyDeleteYou may not be surprised to learn that I do love miso soup the most. But the more things I try, the more I love!
ReplyDeleteJapanese food is the best! I love all of it, but am particularly partial to miso and seaweed and since miso soup can contain both, I have that frequently. Also love daikon radish salads and cooked radish. Yum!
ReplyDeleteAlready following your blog and also liked both facebook pages.
