Taipei,
Taiwan… I know we can all find
vegan desserts around the world, but so many
asian sweet snacks are already naturally vegan...
so I had no problem finding a few delicious
ones to try!
These sweet treats below are
all dairy and egg free. The main ingredients
tend to be steamed glutinous rice, sweetened
mung bean paste and sugar. Ingredients also
commonly used are rice flours and cornstarch.
A famous
local bakery in Taipei
Oh no... It said no photos allowed, but
since they did see me take some photos...
perhaps they just didn't want any locals stealing
their delicious recipes. Bean (Baozi) cakes,
wonton soups and more... all amazing!
Another
popular bakery!
At this local bakery locals enjoy breakfast
and lunch, from vegan bean or veggies cakes
to tofu noodle soups.
These
mochi rice and beans cake balls are delicious!
Has anyone ever tried the asian mochi rice
cakes with sweet beans inside? Vegan versions
in many flavors are popular in natural markets
and at the Malls as well. There is also the
frozen ice cream versions.
And during
Chinese New Year it's time for artistic
mochi rice cakes, fried bean cakes and a sweet
tofu soup...
During Chinese New Year you can find many
cute and creative sweet snacks based on popular
