Questions About Vegan Chinese Food? Consider This Site Your Fortune Cookie

The Food Empowerment Project has just launched a new resource dedicated to vegan Chinese food

In a timely celebration of the Mooncake Festival, vegan food justice organization Food Empowerment Project (FEP) has launched a website dedicated to vegan Chinese food. The website, VeganChineseFood.com, highlights Chinese cuisine that is devoid of animal ingredients while promoting the possibility of enjoying vegan dishes without compromising cultural heritage.

Inspired by FEP’s board member, Jessian Choy, Vegan Chinese Food is more than just a collection of recipes. It’s a platform designed to emphasize the power of our food choices and educate visitors about the historical and cultural aspects of veganism within Chinese communities.

Choy, an instrumental figure in this initiative, expressed her personal connection to the project. “Creating these recipes reunited me with family and traditions I felt disconnected from,” Choy said in a statement.

“It also meant a lot to me to share vegan recipes that match FEP’s mission to create a more compassionate society for animals and show others that they can still eat delicious vegan food without compromising their culture,” Choy adds.

Vegan Chinese recipes

VeganChineseFood.com boasts an array of more than a dozen vegan Chinese food recipes, encompassing a variety of dishes including entrées, soups, and desserts. From red yeast rice to rose-infused mooncakes, mugwort sticky rice, fermented black beans, mapo tofu, and potstickers, there’s something to tantalize every palate.

The site is designed to be a user-friendly resource for vegans, the vegan-curious, and the wider Chinese community. It aims to preserve traditional cultural dishes while eliminating animal ingredients, ensuring that everyone can savour their favourite flavours without contributing to animal suffering or exploitation.

“Choy showed that even some very unique recipes in traditional Chinese medicine can be veganized,” Alejandra Tolley, FEP Communications Specialist, tells VegNews on behalf of the FEP team.

The VeganChineseFood.com website offers recipes in both English and simplified Chinese. FEP’s other recipe websites, including VeganMexicanFood.com, VeganFilipinoFood.com, and VeganLaoFood.com, continue to promote the organization’s mission of fostering compassionate eating choices.

“We believe it’s important to show ‘meat’-free food in any culture,” Tolley says. “It’s crucial for everyone to look at ‘meat’ alternatives because it’s important for the sake of the animals and a sustainable solution to the current climate crisis.” 

China’s vegan food history

The website does not merely offer recipes but also delves into the historical context of veganism in Chinese culture. 

Visitors can explore how Western imperialism played a role in introducing animal products to China during the mid-19th century, significantly altering dietary practices. Cow’s milk, for example, was first imported into China by Western merchants, ultimately influencing the nation’s dairy consumption patterns.

Despite this shift, a significant portion of the Chinese population still struggles to digest non-human animal milk, a fact that underscores the notion of “lactose normalcy.”

“Colonization, or even the overbearing influence of the West, is often minimalized,” Tolley says.  “It is imperative that those of us who have been impacted ensure that we push back on foods that are not good for us, the planet, or the animals.”

“Historically, milk was not part of our ancestors’ diet. Today, we see many BIPOC individuals whose bodies have difficulty breaking it down,” Tolley says. “Because of this, we consider this lactose normal, unlike lactose ‘intolerant,’ which implies something is wrong with us.” 

Many Chinese cultures and groups have embraced a compassionate approach to food by abstaining from animal products and by-products, the Vegan Chinese Food website notes. These groups include practitioners of Shaolin kung fu, most Mahayana Buddhists, and communities of Chinese women living in vegan houses for centuries to escape patriarchal and classist societies. 

This practice reflects a deep-rooted respect for animals and aligns with the burgeoning trend of veganism in modern China.

The work of FEP

Veganism, as promoted by FEP, extends beyond excluding animal-based ingredients and encompasses the ethical consideration of how our food choices affect farm workers. The organization is dedicated to raising awareness about the labour conditions of produce workers and actively working towards supporting their rights through corporate, legislative, and regulatory advocacy.

FEP’s activism covers four areas: veganism for the animals, farm workers’ rights, fighting food apartheid, and encouraging people not to buy chocolate where child labour and slavery are the most prevalent. 

“We see all forms of oppression as interconnected and strive to create a more sustainable and compassionate future,” Tolley says. “We want more people, especially those with privilege, to understand that they have an opportunity to make a difference each time they eat to take a stand against cruelty and for justice locally and globally.”

Top Highlights From the European Vegan Summit 2023

From vegconomist.com

The European Vegan Summit took place online from September 19 to 23, hosted by the Polish vegan think tank Green REV Institute. Politicians, activists, and industry experts came together to explore how reforming the food system could mitigate the challenges of climate change, food poverty, animal suffering, biodiversity loss, and more.

Highlights from this year’s event included a focus on:

• Food system transition — Speakers discussed sustainable agriculture, the environmental impact of various food choices, and policy proposals and strategies that could reform the European food system.
  “The EU is still a leader in climate action, but it doesn’t do enough (…) there will be a lot of conservatism until the end of the mandate,” said MEP Francisco Guereirro.
• Effective and inclusive activism — Activists shared their experience of driving change through advocacy and outreach. Attendees were encouraged to take action themselves to create a more compassionate and sustainable world.
  “As ecofeminists, we resist value dualism — seeing value as numbers. We see value in kindness and care,” said speaker Dr. Kristina Hiddema.

• Female leads — To emphasise equality, the Summit featured a number of influential female speakers, including MEP Dr. Sylwia Spurek, MP Eleonora Evi, Councillor Ziggy Klazes, Dr. Anita Krajnc, Dr. Olga Kikou, and Catalina Lopez Salazar.
• The plant-based sector — Entrepreneurs, innovators, and industry leaders discussed trends, innovations, and opportunities within the plant-based sector. This included talks about biocyclic vegan agriculture and the challenges COVID-19 poses for the food industry.

The Summit also featured a number of panel discussions with notable speakers; themes included the issues faced by the food system and the potential of the plant-based sector. This was the second-ever European Vegan Summit, after the event took place for the first time last year.

Recordings of the Summit are now available on the event’s YouTube channel. The Summit also hosts a monthly podcast titled EVS Talks, with a new episode set to go live on October 6.

These Ten Pubs in the UK Are 100% Vegan and We 100% Approve

From vegconomist.com

Pubs are a cornerstone of British culture, but they typically feature meat-heavy menus and drinks that contain ingredients of animal origin.

However, this is beginning to change, with a growing number of British pubs keeping the traditional experience while beginning to offer vegan options as consumer demand continues to grow. And there are (at least) ten locations across the UK that are now fully vegan including food and drinks too.

Harp & Crown

Located near Corsham in Wiltshire, the Harp & Crown offers a range of homemade and seasonal vegan food, along with a selection of vegan ales, wines, and ciders. The menu features dishes such as curried jackfruit, seitan wings, and mushroom and lentil lasagne. Accommodation is also available.

The Queen Inn

This traditional pub in Cwmbran, Wales, made headlines in January 2022 when it made its menu fully plant-based for Veganuary. The move was such a success that the change became permanent. For this year’s Veganuary campaign, the pub launched a plant-based steak menu, with the aim of becoming the world’s first vegan steakhouse.

The Barn

The Barn, a pub near Rugby in Warwickshire, trialled a fully plant-based menu this February after seeing huge demand for its vegan options. The trial appears to have been a success, as the menu remains fully vegan. Dishes include plant-based ribs, mac & cheese, and Thai green curry.

The Railway Tavern

In August, South London pub The Railway Tavern announced it was becoming fully plant-based following the success of a popup it had been hosting by Indian-inspired vegan restaurant group En Root. The pub’s kitchen has now been permanently taken over by the group, making the Railway Inn South London’s first vegan pub.

The Roundhill

With two locations in Brighton, the Roundhill offers a range of vegan food, cocktails, and draught beer. The pub hosts a pasta evening on Wednesdays and roast dinners on Sundays, with a variety of other dishes — including Buddha bowls and “lamb” gyros — also available.

The Spread Eagle

The Spread Eagle claims to have been the first pub in London to become fully vegan. It offers a seasonal and locally-sourced menu, with an emphasis on minimal waste. All drinks are also vegan, including an innovative tequila sour made with aquafaba. The pub has received coverage from major media outlets such as The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and the London Evening Standard.

The Ship Inn

The Ship Inn, a pub in Newcastle’s Ouseburn district, appears to have become fully vegan in 2016. The menu offers options such as burgers, nachos, and tofish and chips, with a roast dinner available on Sundays. The pub is family-friendly and open every day of the week.

The Carriage

Also located in Newcastle, the Carriage was acquired by the owners of The Ship in 2018. The new owners quickly announced plans to make the pub — which first opened in 1978 — fully plant-based. Situated in a historic station building, the pub serves food from Thursday to Sunday, and all drinks are also suitable for vegans.

The Golden Fleece

The Golden Fleece is a vegan pub in Nottingham, offering kebabs, plant-based fish, Sunday dinners, and more. The pub also hosts live music, comedy nights, and other events. Bottomless brunches are available at the weekend.

The Old Bookshop

Located in the up-and-coming Bedminster area of Bristol, The Old Bookshop was previously a traditional venue and was given a new lease of life and a hipster following when it reopened as a trendy vegan venue in 2021. With a current menu featuring Pulled ‘Pork’ BBQ Burgers topped with vegan house slaw, BBQ sauce and gravy with fries for £11, this is a go-to location for vegans and non-vegans alike in the Bristol area. And it’s super dog-friendly.

One reviewer notes: “Honestly, what more could you possibly want in a pub? Good beer, good music, the staff are great, informed and personable. They have great kitchen pop-ups […] All the beer and food is vegan with GF options. You can see how much heart and soul goes into every part of it. Favourite pub on North Street/Bedminster, maybe even Bristol.”

Expert Commentary

What tips do you have for a person who wishes to have a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle while on a budget?

“I would recommend them to try a combination of frozen, canned, and fresh food. It is a myth that frozen foods are less nutritious than fresh ones. Many frozen vegetables, fruits, and legumes are picked when they are ripe and frozen within hours. Hence, a lot of their nutrients are preserved. Frozen foods are an affordable and nutritious way to harness a lot of nutrients. For both canned and frozen foods, additional advice would be to check the nutritional labels and make sure that they do not have added sugars, fats, or sodium. Opt for low-sodium canned food and choose cans that are not dented. For fresh produce, a good way to save money is to buy local and seasonal ones since they tend to be more affordable and nutritious at the same time.”

Trishnee Bhurosy – Assistant Professor, University of Vermont

 

“Go for foods that are naturally vegetarian/vegan rather than seeking out foods with marketing or buzz words on them indicating it’s ‘plant-based’ or other trendy marketing terms. Foods that are naturally vegetarian/vegan will be cheaper when they aren’t relying on heavy marketing techniques. Foods that are simple, single, or minimal ingredient foods will be cheaper than those that are highly processed. For example, dried or canned beans, rice, fresh or frozen vegetables, tofu, and nut butters, tend to be cheaper than prepackaged items or processed meat substitutes. Many of those are catering to mainstream consumers and can charge more when they follow a food trend. Going the ‘quiet’ route to find naturally vegetarian/vegan foods will usually also prove to be the more budget-friendly option.”

Melinda Boyd – Assistant Professor, Cedar Crest College

 

What tips do you have for a person who wishes to become a vegetarian? How can the transition be made smoother?

“A gradual approach generally works best. Substitute meat, poultry, and fish entrees with pasta and marinara sauce, vegetarian chili, bean tacos or burritos, or nut butter sandwiches. Vegetable patties can be made with mashed legumes (such as lentils, chickpeas, and black beans), mixed with rolled oats, tofu, or ground flaxseed – these work well as binding agents.”

Susan Massad, HSD, RD – Professor and Director, Didactic Program in Dietetics, Framingham State University

 

“I am a big fan of small changes leading to big effects. If you are looking to increase your plant source options, try picking one day a week to go meatless or you could consider doing something like meatless lunches. Once something becomes a habit, then you can continue to build from there. However, it is important to be aware that following a vegetarian or vegan dietary pattern can make it more difficult to meet the nutrient needs for certain essential nutrients, such as vitamin B12 and iron. I recommend working with your doctor to have your levels checked and you may consider asking your doctor about taking a supplement as extra insurance. There are also a lot of plant-based meat options these days, that are designed to mimic the nutrient portfolio found in meat, so this could be a useful way of incorporating iron and vitamin B12. However, just because something is plant-based does not necessarily mean that it is healthier for you. These plant-based meat options come with a high amount of saturated fat, which we want to keep less than 10 percent of our adult calorie needs for optimal health. Additionally, plant-based milks, except fortified soy milk, usually do not contain much protein or calcium, like cow’s milk.”

Debbie Fetter, Ph.D. – Assistant Professor, University of California Davis

 

What are the most common mistakes people make when being on a vegan or vegetarian diet, and how can they avoid them?

“Vegetarian is not always synonymous with healthy. It can be if carefully planned. However, substituting animal products for ultra-processed, refined carbs or cheese can be counterproductive. Two nutrients to pay attention to are protein and vitamin B12. Do not focus solely on protein-rich foods, most Americans get more than plenty of protein in their diets. Alternatively, by eliminating most animal products, vegetarians are removing vitamin B12 from their diets. A supplement may be needed.”

Laura Bellows – Associate Professor, Cornell University

 

“Oftentimes, people associate being vegan or vegetarian with eating a lot of salads and/or lacking protein sources. But there are many plant-based protein sources. In fact, with a little bit of planning ahead, a lot of dishes that include meat can be converted into a vegetarian or vegan-friendly version with only a few tweaks. For example, if a recipe calls for meat, that can be replaced with tofu, lentils, beans, or tempeh. Do not be afraid of using spices and herbs either. The same vegetable can taste very different and delicious with the right spice, herb, or a different cooking technique. If you are vegan, make sure you are getting nutrients such as calcium from fortified soymilk and a variety of plant foods such as broccoli, kale, and bok choy.”

Common mistakes vegan travellers must avoid – plus handy tips for a stress-free trip

From veganfoodandliving.com

From finding restaurants to ethical tourist attractions, here are the top travel tips all vegan travellers need to know…

Travelling as a vegan is no longer what it used to be.

Gone are the days when a sad salad and fries has to suffice for dinner, after the nagging waiter asks for the third time in one evening: “So, why can’t you have cheese?”

Thanks to its skyrocketing popularity, veganism has spread to almost every nook and cranny across the world – creating plant-based paradises in the most unexpected of places.

That being said, it’s always best to be prepared and avoid those easy mistakes when you’re on the road, in the sky, or cruising along the Pacific…

Travelling as a vegan – the complete guide

To help you plan your next adventure, this guide will cover everything you need to help you plan your perfect trip, including our top vegan travel tips. This includes:

• Destination
• Flying
• Eating out
• Attractions / Things to do
• Souvenirs

 

Destination

Many cuisines around the world naturally lend themselves to a plant-based diet. South East Asia has rapidly become a hotspot for vegan tourists – with destinations like Bali now bursting with Instagrammable smoothie bowls and mock meats.

Closer to home and European city breaks are equally becoming plant-based hotspots. If you want to bike around the city pretending you’re in a Wes Anderson film then graze on falafel for lunch – check out the best vegan restaurants in Amsterdam.

Even across the Pond, in the meat-loving United States of America, there are cities filled with plant-based eateries – from upscale restaurants to cheap and cheerful fast food establishments. Los Angeles naturally deserves a special mention when it comes to vegan hotspots.

The point is — unless you’re going on an expedition to a blue zone, or living in a submarine for three months — you may not have to worry about where to travel.

If you’re a foodie who wants their vacation to be all about fancy brunches and candlelit suppers – you may want to go to a place already renowned for its vegan offerings, like Ubud in Indonesia.

But, if you’re more of a culture and sightseeing traveller – pick your destination on museums or art galleries etc. As long as you have this guide on travelling as a vegan, you’ll be fine.

Flying

Let’s face it. We’ve all seen the horror stories of vegans vs airplane food – like this blogger who went viral after being served just a bottle of water on a 10-hour journey. Or, this woman who branded one airline a ‘joke’ after receiving a measly onboard meal…

The reality is, airplane food is never going to be super spectacular and mind-blowing. So, the first tip is to lower your expectations and prepare for the worst.

However, over the last couple of years, many airlines have started expanding their plant-based offerings after witnessing growing demand.

For example, Emirates witnessed a staggering 154 per cent increase in vegan meals from 2021 to 2022 and currently offers 180 recipes catering to vegan passengers.

Economy favourites include a creamy spinach and avocado mousseline, multicoloured quinoa, and a barley risotto. While Business and First Class customers can indulge in a brand new gourmet menu featuring dishes such as pan-roasted king oyster mushrooms, jackfruit biryani, and a chocolate truffle cake.

If you book with an airline that does offer vegan meals, make sure you check the company’s terms and conditions to see how long in advance you need to make an order. If in doubt, contact them for confirmation.

BE AWARE: If your flight is cancelled, or delays cause you to miss a layover, the vegan meal you requested may no longer stand.

To prevent any uncomfortable flights where your stomach is growling louder than the engine, packing your own food will always be your safest bet. Need some trusty snack ideas? Check out our latest recipes and releases here.

Just make sure you check the entry requirements to where you are flying to, as some have strict rules on bringing in food.

Food & Drink

If you’re in one of the previously mentioned vegan meccas of the world, you may not have to try hard to stumble across plant-based food and restaurants.

However, if you’re not the kind of traveller that can just ‘go with the flow’ and see what restaurants are about – download HappyCow.

The app – if you’ve been living under a rock and aren’t already aware – lists all the nearest vegan, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly establishments nearest to you. You can browse reviews, check photos, and plan your meals accordingly.

If you’re travelling with non-vegans who don’t want to exclusively dine at plant-based restaurants, or have tried HappyCow to no avail, Google Translate is now your best friend.

You can figure out what ingredients are on the packet of crisps you hope don’t contain milk powder for *no reason* and you can clarify your needs to any waiting staff.

To be honest, Google Translate is a crutch you will almost undoubtedly lean on if you’re travelling in places where English isn’t commonly spoken. Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, and even less touristy parts of Thailand and Laos often rely on translation apps to communicate with tourists.

Alternatively, you could always learn a few simple phrases or words to help clarify your needs. Make that DuoLingo bird happy, for once…

If you’re travelling as a vegan on a tighter budget, or perhaps just aren’t fussed about culinary experiences, cooking at home is a great way to save money and guarantee your meals are vegan-friendly.

Again, Google Translate is a handy app to have downloaded when you’re trying to work out the ingredients in the supermarket.

Attractions / Things to do

From the Pig Beach in the Bahamas  to elephant ‘sanctuaries’ in Thailand – animal tourism is everywhere you look. But is it ever ethical?

Vegan Food & Living spoke to animal welfare expert and author of How To Be an Activist Vanessa Holburn to find out more about these popular excursions.

“The problem with tourist attractions that make money out of animal-based experiences is that the primary interest of those selling the experience is making money,” she said.

“Once money is the priority, the welfare of the animal is then forgotten about. Profit is put first.”

This prioritisation of profits over ethics has backfired for attractions like SeaWorld, whose hay-day popularity has plummeted further than the depths of it shallow tanks.

Over recent years, the company’s notoriety has grown uglier and uglier and its allies are slowly backing off. Take Thomas Cook, for example, who recently joined a growing list of brands which have stopped promoting SeaWorld and similar attractions.

However, if you’re travelling as a vegan you’ve already probably crossed SeaWorld from your bucket list. Perhaps you’re thinking a sanctuary is a much better option?

Even companies that market themselves as an ethical sanctuary may be mistreating their animals. So, what red flags should you look out for?

“A genuine sanctuary will want to maintain the physical and emotional health of its animals,” Holburn advises. “That means replicating as far as possible that animal’s natural habitat.

“If enclosures are cramped and dirty, and there is no access to things such as shade and fresh water, and the animal is unable to behave as it would in the wild because of how or where it’s kept, then walk away.

“An animal kept in poor housing will show signs of stress, such as pacing, self-mutilation and other repetitive behaviours, as well as suffer from physical health concerns as a result of poor hygiene, which may show in skin rashes, loss of fur and infections.”

Holburn also said visitors should take note of how an establishment allows them to interact with animals.

“Touching and taking selfies with wild animals or making the animal perform tricks is wrong,” she added.  “A visitor should be there to calmly and quietly observe the animals in as natural a habitat as possible.

“At a deeper level, you may want to find out how the animals are acquired for the sanctuary, were they rescued from circuses for example, or where they bought, a practice which simply encourages the hunting and trading of the wildlife the sanctuary claims to oppose?”

If you’re still really wanting to see animals on your travels, that’s fine. You can always learn how to dive, pay for a safari trip, or simply keep a lookout for local wildlife. But, always do your research, check reviews, and be vocal if you see anything of concern.

Souvenirs

Strolling the night market for some kind of trinket is a rite of passage we all enjoy. However, it’s important to put down the Tenerife magnet, take a step back, and think about your purchases.

Many souvenirs these days are mass-produced, imported, and will inevitably end up rotting in landfill after their owner loses interest.

When purchasing any kind of keepsake, it’s worth doing your research on where it’s from, who the money is going to, and whether it’s necessary.

Try supporting local artists and craftsman, donate to charities, and avoid the commercial hotspots that all sell the same keyrings and emblazoned t-shirts.

Sustainability experts at GoGreenTravelGreen also recommend avoiding ‘rare wood that may have been harvested unsustainably or illegally’.

“Always avoid animal parts (animal skins, tusks, etc.) since they may have come from an endangered animal or might have been poached,” the site adds.

Travelling as a vegan

This guide may seem slightly overwhelming, but most of it is common sense.

When travelling as a vegan, mistakes will happen, and that’s fine. Just make sure you’re prepared and make sure you have fun!

Bon voyage!
