Tết Dishes (Vietnamese New Year Food)

Besides all of the sweets, we need consume savory dishes to “balanced” out the yin and the yang right? By tradition, my family are Buddhist vegans on the first day of new years. This means no only meats and animal products are a no no but garlic, onions, chives, leeks are also not acceptable. Although it might seem next to impossible to cook anything savory and tasty without the ingredients mentioned above it’s actually not that hard….once you get the hang of it. Just think creatively and anything is possible. So here are the vegan dishes we enjoy on first day.
