#### **Vegan takoyaki recipe adapted from Japan Vegan Town**

#### Takoyaki, which translates to “octopus balls” in Japanese, is ubiquitous in markets all over Asia. The street food originates from Osaka, Japan and is traditionally made with an egg-rich batter ladled into small round pans and stuffed with cubes of octopus.

#### Today, plenty of varieties exist as modern day cooks have personalised the snack to their liking. So why not make a vegan version that uses no eggs nor any animal-based derivatives? Here, Japan Vegan Town has provided a recipe that’s as authentic as it gets. 

#### It calls for two Japanese ingredients that can be omitted if they’re too difficult to find where you are: yamaimo powder and konjac in block form. The former is derived from a mountain tuber which adds chewiness to the batter while the konjac – or arrowroot which is cubed in the recipe – mimics the texture of octopus.

#### To truly attain the flair of the street food staple, drizzle okonomi sauce and vegan mayonnaise instead of the dipping sauce.

#### One thing that can’t be left out though, is the specialised takoyaki pan. Consider it a small investment, especially if it’s a recipe you’ll be making over and over again.

` `  
**Time needed:** 45 minutes` `  
**Servings:** Makes 16 balls` `  
**Difficulty:** Intermediate` `  
` `  
` `  
**Ingredients**` `  
` `  
**For the dumpling filling**` `  
200g rice flour` `  
3g potato starch` `  
1.5g baking powder` `  
A pinch of salt` `  
5g corn flour` `  
7g yamaimo powder` `  
3g Japanese-style soup stock (powder)` `  
100ml water` `  
150ml soy milk` `  
1 king oyster mushroom` `  
A pinch of salt` `  
2 tsp sake` `  
30g konjac block (konnyaku)` `  
2 tsp of soy sauce` `  
An appropriate amount of green onion` `  
An appropriate amount of red pickled ginger` `  
An appropriate amount of oil` `  
` `  
**Dipping sauce**` `  
5g Japanese-style soup stock (powder) ` `  
200ml water` `  
An appropriate amount of mitsuba or Japanese wild parsley` `  
` `  
` `  
**Method**` `  
` `  
Cut the king trumpet mushroom into 1.5cm squares. Fry it in a pan and add a pinch of salt and sake.` `  
` `  
Next, if you’re using konjac, first remove the lye. To do so, rinse the konjac and cut it into bite-sized pieces with a spoon. Rub the konjac pieces with salt and boil it in a saucepan for two to three minutes. Rinse and drain konjac in a fine-mesh sieve.` `  
` `  
Put konjac in a hot pan, add soy sauce and then stir-fry.` `  
` `  
Finely chop green onions and red pickled gingers.` `  
` `  
Mix rice flour, potato starch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl and mix.` `  
` `  
Put corn flour, yamaimo flour, Japanese-style soup stock, water, soy milk in another bowl and stir until dissolved. Once dissolved, transfer it into the large bowl in step 5. Then, mix until frothy.` `  
` `  
Heat the takoyaki pan and oil each hole.` `  
` `  
Spoon in the batter to overfill the cups. Place mushrooms and konjac in the centre of each cup.
` `  
` `  
As it starts to cook, sprinkle the green onions and gingers on top.` `  
` `  
After a minute, using your skewer or toothpick, grab the edge of the takoyaki ball and flip it over so the other side can start to cook. Keep continuously rotating them until they are completely round and golden brown.` ` 
` `  
` `  
For the dipping sauce, put the Japanese-style soup stock and water in a small saucepan and boil it. Then, add an appropriate amount of mitsuba or Japanese wild parsley.` ` 
` `

#### **Vegan lemon polenta cake recipe by Chef Cynthia Louise**

#### When these little puppies came out of the oven I knew at that very moment each cake needed some extra love. I quickly mixed lemon juice and maple syrup to get a wonderful balance of sweet with sour and poured it over the hot cakes.

#### Oh Em Gee. My taste buds lit up and my heart exploded. We ate them warm right then and there with a big dollop of coconut yoghurt. This is what contentment tastes like. 

#### Store them in the fridge and if you notice they get a little dry just heat them gently before serving again.

#### Note: Chef Cynthia Louise uses Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All-Purpose Baking Flour and Kara coconut cream.

#### **Vegan nacho cheese sauce recipe by Chef Cynthia Louise**

#### The only way for you to know how epic this rich, thick and cheesy sauce is is to make it. I use it as a dip, drizzled over nachos, in my mac and cheese, in a veggie bake, as a pizza cheese, the list goes on and on. Sometimes, I just park myself on the couch with a bowl of corn chips and a jar of this glorious sauce. It's my version of a tasty heaven.
