Changsha is known for its rice noodles, however locals tend to have them them swimming in beef broth or tossed in lard... But you know that won't stop me! In today's vegan food adventure, I'll show you how I was able to order delicious vegan-friendly noodles at the infamous Rice Noodle Street as well as a couple hidden alleyway gems!
Places Mentioned:
1. 📍Mifen Jie, Changsha, Hunan Province （湖南长沙，米粉街）
2. 📍Lao Xiangzi Pangzi Rice Noodles （老巷子胖子米粉）
3. 📍Xiao Er Mian Dian, 242 Tongtai Street, Changsha (小二面店，通泰街242号）
4. 📍Guilin Specialty Rice Noodles, Litouhou Street, Changsha （桂林特色卤粉，东牌楼街与犁头后街交叉口北30米路西)

The way I see it, though a new one, this channel has the potential to become one of the most influential ones for introducing Chinese food culture to foreigners, and it deserves many more subscriptions. Keep up the good work.

Found you on Instagram a while back. As someone who strives to eat/buy vegan, it was nice to see. I wish I had known about you sooner! Your content is great. Our paths actually almost crossed in Shuo’s class but I had to leave just before you joined. Keep up the great work! Easy sub. 🎉

I really felt the food was more 香 fragrant than 辣 spicy... Maybe I've burned off all my spice receptors from eating too much spicy food? 😂 😂

damn that looks tasty, I love udun style style noodles and skin style tofu. I didn't know it is called bamboo style! Chinese food was my gateway for vegetarian food and now I am vegan it is still my go to. I got to try this when I am in China! I love how the owners love the camera ;-)

@veganinchina 2 күн бұрын

There are so many types of tofu skin in China, you'd be amazed! And yes, I've had people ask about how people feel about me filming them, but in general Chinese people welcome it, especially when they have a business to promote!

Hope you didn't get any washing up liquid in your noodles!!! Absolutely loving this channel. You know that feeling when you go into a vegan restaurant knowing you can order anything? I can watch your videos knowing that all the food you show would be suitable for vegans. In other videos on Chinese food, I waste 90% of my time watching foods I can't and and don't want to eat. I also liked the hospitality and flexibility of these small restaurants.

@veganinchina 2 күн бұрын

Haha the noodles were not compromised! And I feel you! It's not intuitive, but the small shops are always the most accommodating in my experience (but speaking Chinese is definitely key).

Your Chinese is incredible. Lots of vegan options there. I’m trying hard to be one in the States, not easy. Glad you’re having fun.

Thank you! I still have a long ways to go in my Chinese journey, but it's enough for finding yummy vegan food! Good luck in the US, restaurants might be hard but it seems there's more and more interesting plant-based products to try!

你成功的又把我看饿了，虽然我刚吃完没多久，你上辈子不一定是贵州人，但一定是豆腐人😂😂在我个人的认知里，中国最辣的辣椒应该是海南省的黄灯笼辣椒吧，喜欢吃辣你可以试试，北京很多超市都有卖，瓶装的，但是要是辣椒油那就南北各个自家做的各有千秋了😅😅😅祝愉快

@@veganinchina I forgot that most of the broth for Changsha rice noodles is actually made from pork bones, which is clearly not suitable for vegetarians. What a pity.
