Hello Dear Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. We had some crazy weather changes and Friday was really cold and raining. Thank goodness, it is over now and sun is shining again.

However, enough about the weather and lets talk about this delicious new recipe! Who loves Japanese food? It always was one of my favorites especially teriyaki! Unfortunately, it has been very long time since I dine in Japanese restaurant, not only because I am vegan, but also because of COVID restrictions.

Last time I was out for walk with my daughter, we passed by a beautiful big Japanese restaurant. It was completely empty, as we could see through the big windows and I thought how nice it would be to go in.

Oh well, sadly that is not possible, right now, so I decided to make my own Vegan Chick’n Teriyaki, at home. And oh boy, it turned out absolutely amazing! Besides, much healthier than the one they serve in restaurants. Although, it is nice to sit at the table and be served once in while. That part I miss!
