I had no idea you could use mushrooms!! I’ve been looking for a plant based kelaguen for forever and this one looks the best, I will try it as soon as I can buy food again

[@tulpeharmon3582]

Me too!!!! Im excited to make it! I just had some shrimp kelaguen this past weekend and now I want to try all sorts of variations!

[@islandbee]

Spam keleguen?

[@x0habiib0x]

I didn’t really grow up eating kelaguen with coconut so now I make it without as does the rest of my family unless they wanna be fansaaaay. 🤣 I wonder if jackfruit kelaguen would be good. The texture is closer to meat than mushrooms.

[@theresacruz5772]

Can you make liver kelaguen

[@thunderlipsbrother1411]

Yup

[@islandbee]

It's not keleguen to me unless there is grated coconut.

[@SakuraVyn]

Chill 30mins!

[@dougiedougs]

Oh Dear.

[@vincentreyes5742]

I never seen anyone mix keleguen with a wooden spoon 😂
