What are some tasty vegetarian Chinese food options?

Question

I'm kind of on a vegetarian kick and was wondering what a tasty vegetarian option is for chinese food. Normally I order General Tso's chicken or Orange Beef. I really am not a big soy sauce fan so anything heavy on that taste is not a great fit.

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

In China, almost every state (Province) has it own foods.

So, In China, there so called Sichuan Cuisine, Shanghai Cuisine, Beijing Cuisine . Maybe you want a advanced advice. There are some useful links.

Answer 2

Ma Po Tofu, Eggplant in Black Bean sauce, Stir Fried Broccoli with Oyster sauce, Veg Egg Foo Yung, Veggie Chow mein or Chop Suey the same way, here in Toronto Canada, I go to the real style authentic Chinese places in town (we have 3 areas with them) and I love any kind of tofu, either pot braised with mushrooms or in the 7 Treasure Delight dishes.

Most places have a wide range of dishes, and even a fried rice with veg only, regional dishes to and if your in a large city in the U.S or Canada and can get the non americanized S&S type foods in an authentic place, then you have many choices.

Answer 3

Buddha's Delight

Sir-Fried Tofu (or Bean Curd)

Vegetable Dumplings
