Dawn, Madeline, and I met up recently for our second annual vegan Filipino dinner. (You may recall last summer’s smorgasbord?)

This year’s feast featured kare-kare (vegetables and “tripe” in peanut sauce), dinuguan (pork blood stew, sans sang), and (of course) lumpia, with garlic-vinegar dipping sauce: just a few cloves of garlic, chopped, with white vinegar. For dessert: turon (sweet jackfruit and banana lumpia topped with cinnamon and sugar) and Madeline’s homemade coconut ice cream.

The veganized kare-kare sent us on a scavenger hunt around the ID, with a few new-to-us (well, new to Dawn and me) ingredients. Banana blossom. Achuete. Snow fungus (as a tripe stand-in).

Uwajimaya didn’t have banana blossom (not that we would have recognized it if it did), but Viet Wah came through. We bought 10 small packets of achuete powder (equivalent to the 1/2 cup the recipe called for) only to discover later that one package of that powder equals a cup of the regular powder. And snow fungus? Madeline had to make a run for that after we arrived at her house. And then we added about 10 times the amount of snow fungus that we should have.

It all turned out deliciously, and we had a blast cooking together, as always. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
