Mine come in different packaging but we also have those fake meats. In two places, one is in the Chinese Frozen shop [paris] where it's cheaper and it's made in Taiwan, and also in the vegan shop, by Vantastic Foods from Germany. Never checked where it's made, looks exactly the same. Have you guys tried it already? M fav dumplings are spring onion and leek haha. Oh you can also buy like half a soy chicken that is shaped like a chicken and even has skin. Same for duck. Black pepper beef is really good. But these things are sooo oily I always get stomachache after.
I work in a Vietnamese restaurant and I asked them why a lot of the asian vegetarian products say no onion and garlic… They told me it's because they believe onion and garlic are an aphrodisiac and sex/sexual urges causes suffering.
Just ordered your cook book, can’t wait to make some yummy recipes!
The nori is fish. It’s meant to be cut in thin slabs and you could pan fry it to get it a little crispy on the outside, then top with various sauce (stir fry veggies, sweet n sour, sesame, ginger sauce, etc) and eat with rice.
Who doesn't love steamed buns?! omg I died. SACRILEGE.
j/k more for the rest of us <3 <3
Could you guys do a recipe with the fish steak thing? I bought one too and I honestly have no idea what to do with it…
Buddhists don’t eat onion & garlic because it helps u abstain from eating for "pleasure". However most long term Asian vegetarians say onion & garlic kills healthy gut flora & if you don’t eat meat it’s best you eat less onion & garlic….
Brahmins (Hindu cast) don’t use onion and garlic since it apparently “corrodes the mind” and since Buddha was actual Indian surrounded by Hindus so he probably thought that.
I went to kings cafe!!! The drumsticks were amazing!!
…I thought oyster sauce always meant oyster mushrooms?
They rank garlic, onions, shallots and other members of the Allium genus as the Five Acid and Strong-Smelling Vegetables, which are just too damn strong. … Next morning when he awoke, the food had sprouted into two bushes: garlic and onion! And that's why Buddhists don't eat garlic and onions
the "rice cake" is actually called "mochi" in Japanese and its a very famous Asian treat! 🙂
The dessert bun at around 9:15 is actually made to resemble a peach =))) my family only buy it on special occasion as offering to our ancestors, but we (well at least me) have never tried it =)))
I wholeheartedly agree with you; Asian markets have the best vegan substitutes. I have an H-Mart (regular Asian market) that I get all of my seitan, tofu, and vegan sauces from. For any new vegans looking to shop in an Asian market, always look for vegan meat substitutes/seitan in the refrigerated section with the tofu (the packaging will usually say vegetarian beef/chicken but it should also be vegan). Their seitan has the best taste AND texture that I've bought so far, and it's SO much cheaper than what you can get at whole foods/other health food markets.
The "rice cake" is normally called mochi. It isn't very sweet.
I love that place!
I went on their website and they don’t list the ingredients in their products.
In Ayurveda you also abstain from onion and garlic because it can make you agitated. (For meditation purposes).
omg you both look and sound like Jess and Nick from New Girl! PS your channel is awesome!
you should do a taste test!! 🙂
There's this dish in Malaysia called 'Butter Prawns' and it's one of my favourite dishes to get when I'm there. Here's a recipe for it: http://crystalbyblog.blogspot.co.nz/2007/04/vegan-oatmeal-butter-prawn.html
Didnt know they didnt cook with garlic and onions. I love their bbq buns and bbq seitan!!! Non-gmo soy, yay! Nice glasses Candice! Here is one of the meals I cooked with the shrimp: https://www.instagram.com/p/BbhWdoljxaG/?taken-by=torontoveganized
I believe they don’t because of it being a “root”. They feel (I think so, no hate mail please) it harms the entire plant if you use the root. I have an Indian Buddhist pal.
Awesome I'll try to go there when I'm up in Toronto next! Any other good vegan restaurant suggestions near downtown?
Thanks for sharing! Can't wait to check out King’s Café now <3 mmm pan fried dumplings
i don't eat onions at all due to being grossed out (but love garlic)- that grocery store sounds like my dream!
I really like this! Next time taste test?
Steamed then pan fried
Definitely steam the red bean buns! I have microwave so many frozen buns and they turned out not as good as steaming!
