It seems there is a huge effort to make Vegan burgers, vegan hotdogs, etc. Is there anything new in the vegan world or is it constantly trying to make foods to imitate meat based recipes?

        In my experience the only non-vegan ingredient in asian vegetarian dishes is eggs, and around here it is absolutely no problem to ask for extra-tofu instead. What sauces are you refering to?

          Off the top of my head - fish sauce, oyster sauce, and red coloring in other sauces

            Fish is not vegetarian tho, they usually use seaweed and mushroom sauce in vegetarian dishes

              Yes, there are vegan versions or replacements, and there are plenty of people (cooks) who won’t even register that a sauce might not be vegan and use them. Source: personal experience. If this isn’t a problem around you, I am happy you don’t have to scrutinized menus like that.

        Fried rice is fairly basic and you can put literally anything in it.
