To ring in the new year, my friends and I got together for a vegan brunch potluck. For the theme, we went with brunch because we love breakfast food.

Breakfast food is typically loaded with meat, eggs, and dairy but veganizing it is surprisingly attainable. As long as you do your research, you’ll find the recipe you’re looking for.

For example, some of my friends made:

Here were some of the dishes at our potluck:

Half of the fun of cooking is experimenting and creating your own dishes. My friend Roshi cooked quite a feast of delicious Indonesian-inspired dishes such as “Indonesian Vegetable Sushi Rolls” and “Indonesian Cauliflower Tofu”. She used my beer batter recipe for frying the tofu. You could get that recipe from my YouTube tutorial here.

Roshi also made “Kale Lebanese Salad”. My friends and I were joking that we didn’t have to bring anything after all because Roshi cooked so much delicious food!





The dish I brought was (surprise surprise) a vegan Filipino dish. Particularly, it was a veganized version of a Filipino breakfast combo called “Longsilog”.

The combo included Filipino sausages called “Longganisa” (the “Long-” part of “Long-si-log”), Garlic Fried Rice called “Sinangag” (the “-si-” part of “Long-si-log”), and Egg Scramble called “Itlog” or in my case, Tofu Scramble (the “-log” part of “Long-si-log”).

I made the vegan Filipino sausages from scratch. After few failed recipe tests, I was happy with the version I took to the potluck. Ultimately, it was up to the people at the potluck to decide whether my “Longganisa” sausages were good.

Thankfully, my friends loved the dish! One of them even said that eating my vegan version of “Longsilog” brought her back to her childhood. Others who never tried it before said they loved the flavors of the sausages and would love to recreate the recipe.

I hope this post inspires you to make a vegan breakfast dish or put together a vegan potluck with friends. Kain na, let’s eat!
