The story behind Okonomi Kitchen.
What will you find on this blog?
A bit of everything, but mostly feel good recipes inspired by whole foods- always plant based and usually gluten, oil & refined sugar free. Naturally, I LOVE Japanese and ethnic food so you’ll probably find a lot of recipes from Japanese cuisine and other cuisines around the world.
You’ll also find that most of the recipes are very budget friendly. I’ve been a student, so I know what it feels like when money is tight. I’ve learned the ropes to making inexpensive ingredients taste delicious and hope to share some tips and tricks with you.
I’m also a huge health & fitness advocate that hits the gym regularly, so high protein vegan recipes are a must. All in all, you’ll find easy-to-follow recipes suited for anyone! I also try my best to provide helpful tips, tricks and substitutions to so you adjust the recipe to your liking. I hope you’ve enjoyed yourself here & leave feeling inspired to cook!
I watched your video what you eat in a day high protein. You had a snack that I couldn’t see what it was. It had a red label. It was protein that you need to rehydrate. What was it?
Hi Michelle! I believe it was dehydrated soy chunks 🙂
Finally vegan Asian recipes. I’ve made other vegan dish but I miss the taste of Asian ethnic flavors. Your recipes are so easy to follow. So thank you! I hope one day you’ll have a book, I’d definitely purchase one and constantly refer to it. Keep it up and I look forward to more inspiring dishes!
I’m so lucky to have found your blog! I love Japanese food but always felt like it was hard to eat and make food as a vegan. Your blog has opened me up to so many new foods I get to experiment with all the time (: I love all the care that goes into each recipe and how they’re all very healthy and flexible on ingredients! 💖
I was very pleased to stumble across your blog when looking for vegan Korean recipes. You have many recipes that have piqued my interest. Thanks for sharing your love of cooking. 🙂 (P.S. I have a 22 year old son. If ever you are in Vancouver, let me know, ha ha!)
