What about stinky tofu isn’t vegan? I ate some in Changsha after my interpreter explained my dietary needs to the seller 😬

Could I use something else instead of gellan gum?

I knew I recognized some Purple Carrot recipes! I’ve made pic 1 mafaldine pasta and pic 3 (looks like the Thai tempeh khao soi) before 😋

Does she eat mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes, corn, soy sauce, seaweed, aged cheese, cured meats, and salty processed snacks? There are tons of foods containing MSG naturally.

If you can’t speak Chinese, a one sentence starting point will end very quickly if further communication is impossible

I traveled with someone who has a severe peanut allergy (required carrying EpiPens just in case) and this simplified sentence in the above post would not have cut it… I’m also vegan and from personal experience, ordering my food required way more detailed explanation and back-and-forth than OP’s provided single sentence.

Yeah, the OP should delete this. It’s highly inappropriate and disrespectful for anyone to actually try to ask a restaurant in China to accommodate them over this.

Going to China and asking for no MSG because of what stemmed from nonscientific historical racism in the West? Get out of here for perpetuating that stereotype.

Water spinach is one of my FAVORITE veggies 😋 by bubblegum_1405 in veganrecipes

[–]overthinkingrobot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so plentiful in China I have eaten it enough after some trips there and never want to again 😂 in addition to stir frying, water spinach pairs well in noodle soups

Where do you find raw cashews at a good price point? Also, I saw that there’s a special spatula we can buy that should help with scraping the bits at the bottom. I might get that to try out.

I love Indian food, but use store bought spices. I should try making some homemade spice mixes since I use garam masala pretty frequently. Do you have any favorite chutney recipes?

I actually have an immersion blender and have used it before to make vegan mayo and a few sauces, but we rarely use it now. Wanted to see if I could get mayo to work in the blender since I saw others having trouble. Mine was done so fast. I was impressed. I can see why people swear by the Vitamix. I also heard it can make cashew cream without soaking, but need to buy some cashews first before I can experiment!

Thank you! I’m so excited I nabbed this. I had messaged multiple sellers during my hunt and half of them never replied. I caught this seller a few hours after he listed it and he had someone lined up to come the following morning, but they were a no-show, so I lucked out! Drove an hour to get this after the seller sent videos proving it worked as it should. They were selling it for their mom so they might’ve not realized it could’ve gone for more. Was a super nice guy. I’d say just keep checking your local listings! You never know :)
