Thanks for the good recipes vegan.
You're welcome Bianca!
Very good recipes! Thanks
You're welcome!
I really miss vegan Vietnamese food. None of the restaurants in the states offer these kinds of variations and the ones who have a vegan option is usually disappointing. I am so glad to find this page, because they look so promising. Cannot wait to try, especially that braised vegan roast pork, sausage patty and bun bo hue. <3
I hear you, I tried many Vietnamese restaurants here in France as well, and none match the food you can find in Vietnam.
Let me know if you try these recipes!
This is hands down the best most informative vegan blog - as a chef here in the uk I’m always on the hunt for inspiration and usually find it in Asian dishes - I’d love to see a printed book of all your recipes - ant plans?
Thanks - fabulous!
Thanks so much for your feedback Louise 😉
No plans for a printed book, sorry!
Hi Thomas! thank you for these, i love your banh mi and mushroom pate recipes. do you have a recipe for the vietnamese mayo that they put in the banh mi? i found some online, but it uses eggs, and i'm vegan. if you ever make it, please let me know!
Hi Hue,
Thanks for your kind words! I do not have any recipe for a Vietnamese mayo, sorry! From what I saw there, each seller has its own way to make mayo, and it doesn't really taste different than regular mayo. Also, the mayo is often mixed with the paté, so any mayo will work!
