Yup, it’s the time of the year where it is just perfect to eat raw and not feel an ounce of effort. I have just been enjoying all my raw eats through the day but I still eat a cooked meal in the evening. Though I have been finding, I would keep a bit of [...]
Happy Friday! I was inspired by raw mama Kirsten Suzanne again and made cucumber boats. When I saw her picture of guacamole in cucumber boats, I was intrigued. As you know recently, I’ve been a bit turned off by green smoothies and I also realized that I was in a raw food rut. I tend [...]
I was feeling quite hungry when I increased my training sessions to 4-5 times a week, so I went back to making a raw onion dip (recipe here) on flax crackers for a power-packed lunch. I like these mineral crust flax crackers because they are full of pumpkin seeds – yay for more iron! I [...]
Sorry for the long absence but things are hectic here at Raw Bento Headquarters. It’s been a week since my return from Moscow but I took off on a short weekend getaway to Nagano — a beautiful prefecture northwest of Tokyo — with friends and did a lot of indulging on top of little sleep. [...]
I LOVE raw coleslaw and I pretty much love drizzling raw mayo (recipe here) on other things too and one of them is zucchini pasta. I’ll sprinkle a ton of black pepper and top the noodles with yellow and red baby tomatoes to make the dish more colourful. This is another summer meal I like [...]
I’ve never found napa cabbage attractive to eat but would do so in Asian soups and use it in my own homemade kimchi. But I got sick of romaine wraps so I grudgingly tried napa cabbage and it’s awesome! The leaves are very firm and holds veggies well and the taste when raw is so [...]
Sometimes if you don’t follow a recipe to the T, you will get a very different result. Today’s recipe is called an accidental thousand island dip because it was meant to be a “cheesy cheddar cheese” spread. I took the recipe from a raw blog whose name I’ve forgotten. Although the ingredients were pretty much [...]
Nori rolls are a staple in my diet. It’s perfect for when I want something quick and easy, but not too plain. I only use toasted nori sheets but the rest of my ingredients are raw. By hand, mash up one ripe avocado, shred one small cucumber, add 1 tsp of dried dill, ½ tsp [...]
I get cravings for creamy mushroom flavours once in a awhile and this mushroomy recipe from The Renegade Health Show is the bomb. I didn’t have all the ingredients so here is my version: In a high-speed blender: ¼ cup sunflower seeds, soaked ½ stalk celery 6 pieces of shiitake mushrooms 1 tbs olive oil [...]
“Simple is the best” was what I was thinking when I returned to Tokyo after five weeks of holidays in Singapore and Sri Lanka. While it was fairly easy to remain high raw in Singapore as I had access to a blender and fresh produce most times. But I had to go 80-90 per cent [...]
