As The Viet Vegan, I feel like homemade vegan Vietnamese pho is an obligatory recipe on here. So here it is. If it weren’t for the fact that I’ve now branded myself as The Viet Vegan, almost nobody would know I was Vietnamese (in real life, anyway). I’ve had people ask me if I was […]

Grilled Tofu Soba Noodle Bowl with Greens
I think it’s funny when people think that it’s only vegans and vegetarians who eat tofu.
