Chinese food is one of the most popular cuisines throughout the world, and it’s easy to understand why: it’s flippin’ delicious! It’s so good and beloved, that just like Italian cuisine, it’s even inspired its own spice blend, Chinese five-spice, which enables restaurants and novice home chefs to capture the distinct flavors in one bottle. Chinese food runs the gamut of spicy, sweet, sour, and savory, which means there’s something for everyone. Unfortunately, however, most traditional Chinese dishes aren’t vegan-friendly. Even the vegetarian ones often contain animal ingredients, such as eggs or fish sauce. Fear not, though, for we have rounded up 21 vegan Chinese recipes, including many of the classics you’re already familiar with!
