If you’re a fan of Asian cuisines, like Thai or Vietnamese food, then you should definitely try Korean food. Most traditional Korean dishes are not vegan friendly, but as always, that didn’t stop us from finding some great ones that are. Korean food often incorporates lots of meat and seafood, but it’s really the spices, sauces, and cooking methods that truly give it its distinct characteristics; and since tofu and fermented soybeans – dwenjang – are just as much staples in Korean cooking as beef and fish are, veganizing dishes while retaining authenticity is relatively easy. Check out these awesome vegan Korean recipes we found online, and be sure to give them a try sometime!
