Veggie Fun
Vegans get the short end of the
stick at most Chinese restaurants,
where steamed vegetables and
plain rice are often the only options
that are truly vegan (beware of
sneaky fish sauce in stir-fry!).
Veggie Fun is a Chinese restaurant
where traditional favorites are all
made plant-based. General Tso’s
chicken fans can try the seitan
version with soy protein fried in a
spicy sauce. Spring and summer
rolls come in a sampler of soft and
crunchy rolled vegetable-stuffed
bites, and the Malaysian curry
stew doesn’t mess around with
broccoli, carrots, potatoes and
seitan in a spicy yellow curry
sauce served with brown rice.
