Vegan Pancit Canton
Here’s a Filipino dish that I’ve loved since my childhood. Just because I’m a vegan doesn’t mean I can’t have Filipino food. And like this recipe, I simply have to modify it to make it vegan:
- First off, you just have to make sure the canton-style noodles are vegan, and is free from egg, dairy or any animal products. Sometimes they even put shrimp flavoring, so DO check the ingredients list carefully. Another common ingredient is egg.
- By simply NOT adding any animal products, this dish becomes deliciously vegan.
- Feel free to add a LOT of vegetables, and you can even add some fried or baked tofu cubes. (Not included in this recipe)
