The bao is easily one of the most delicious items I've tried in a while (for fans of sweet/savory combo). It was so good, I picked up more 2 hours later even though I was still full (because gluttony is real).

@@LadyVader33 Specifically look for key words such as "Chay" in menus, you can find very convincing "meats" and jerky made from tofu skin and dried mixtures of fermented fruits and herbs which give a taste and specifically texture that is shockingly like meat that can make you actually question if it is really vegan. Lots of options but there are always horrible tasting ones, you just gotta find the best place and be sure of any food allergies as they often use a variety of different fruits and vegetables to get that meat taste. Vietnamese food is very vegetarian and vegan friendly as there isn't a lot of land based meat in our diet due to the little land we have aside from the very popular recipes and ones that specifically require fish sauce, which is a staple condiment in vietnamese cuisine but surprisingly isn't always universal. Most people in the country use chili salt, or fermented bean sauces, there are lots of daily meals where there isn't any animal protein and we have times, mostly during temple where we eat vegan for weeks or months at a time.

Hello Irene how are you doing today

I love how Rie is always honest and says exactly what she is thinking instead of sugar coating it. Also, who makes the decision to subtitle certain people who are talking English? It's kind of annoying that you pick and choose who you can and can't understand. So you think it will help others by giving certain people subtitles.

I think what I love most about vegan restaurants is 98% of the people who open them are really skilled or dedicated to perfecting their skills and passionate about creating delicious satisfying food. It also feels really good to eat, it’s hard to describe how different you feel after a vegan meal. It’s really nice. I’ve had the most incredible vegan meals and I wish I had gone vegan a decade ago like my daughter

I make vegan ramen all the time! Tho I make vegetable miso broth, which is already vegan lol and use eggless noodles, my toppings are always vegetables so I was pretty sure she was gonna like it!

I'm not vegan although I try to eat less and less meat (environmental reasons, health reasons, also, the less I eat the less I crave it, I noticed; but WHEN I eat it, I want it to be worth it, high quality, a great steak, a great burger etc.) and I have not bias against vegan food in general, although I dislike the heavy reliance on soy and stuff like Seitan, i.e., pure gluten, and other "cheap" substitutes in vegan food culture and overall a lot of the stuff is almost by necessity very highly processed. A slab of steak is just meat, done. Fake steak etc. are full of stuff, chemicals, very processed etc. No matter how you stand on gluten, just the idea of eating a big chunk of pure gluten feels not great to me. Also, actually don't like the taste/texture. And I try to eat less processed stuff, not more. I much prefer tempeh (just fermented soy beans, you can make it yourself at home, also can use chickpeas etc.) to a lot of other vegan proteins. Almost anything fermented is great. Great flavor, not trying to be meat but stands on its own, and way better texture than tofu (although I had some DELICIOUS fried tofu recently). Just made a decent vegetable broth just for heck of it, to see if I can. Not a bad start, but can definitely be improved. And honestly, my FAVORITE ramen in my local ramen shop IS vegan, with a mushroom-based broth and miso tare. The noodles are not vegan afaik but can be made vegan (and any ramen noodles I make at home are vegan by default because I just use flour, water, kansui). So I'm not at all surprised they managed a great vegan ramen. The use of vegetables and fruits like pineapple is really intriguing. Using Beyond Meat almost feels like cheating. I also like it and use it (or other pea protein-based "fake" meats) more and more in my cooking. Although I try not too much, again, highly processed.
