Vegan Velveeta? [Vegan Mofo Day 3] | Vegan Big Mac Recipe. Vegan “Menudo” News flash! My make-believe food truck, Chow Vegan, has added a new item to its pretend Asian Mexican fusion menu – vegan menudo. Should go well with the veggie duck taco, don’t you think? Menudo is a traditional Mexican stew whose main ingredients include tripe and hominy in a spicy broth. I subbed out the tripe for dried yuba (bean curd) sticks. The yuba doesn’t taste anything at all like tripe, instead it adds a chewy texture.
Some Cantonese dishes are very big on texture, adding certain ingredients just to have the texture. Having grown up on California’s Central Coast, where most cities have Spanish names, Asian Mexican fusion was inevitable. But it’s so good. Two bucks a cup; four bucks a bowl. Vegan “Menudo”Makes about 8 cups (4-6 servings) Dissolve the bouillon in one cup of boiling water, set aside. Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the can of tomatoes and its juices, hominy and spices. Add the bouillon broth, the rest of the water and the yuba sticks.
