"So Vegetarian is almost an unheard of word in the Philippines, but while in college I still wanted the Filipino tastes while trying to be vegetarian. Since all of the recipes I know had meat (even the veggies are cooked in pork) I had to come up with some of my own. This is one of those. Tofu sinigang apparently isn't unheard of in the Philippines..."

Ingredients: chopped tomatoes, chayotes...

"Our favorite vegetarian pansit recipe. It's a traditional Filipino dish that is often served on birthdays. Our good filipino friend, Marina, makes this vegetarian pansit for us often and I finally had her sit down and write it out for me so I can make it myself. It's really good for you with all the vegetables and tofu."
