๐ฟ VEGAN BรN CHAY | Healthy โข Comforting โข Fresh โข Under 30 Minutes ๐
This Vegan Bรบn Chay is one of those meals that checks every box: sweet, sour, spicy, refreshing, comforting, and SO delicious. And the best part? It comes together in under 30 minutes!
I first learned this recipe from one of my very close Vietnamese friends, who made it for a potluck. Ever since then, Iโve been making my own version whenever the craving hits. Itโs definitely not as good as hers ๐, but it is seriously satisfying!
โจ The tofu:
Air-fry the tofu until golden, then cut it lengthwise and sautรฉ it with lime zest, vegan oyster sauce, and lots of freshly grated ginger. The flavor is incredible!
๐ฅ The veggies:
Use whatever you love! I went with:
โข Bell peppers
โข Cucumbers
โข Carrots
โข Fresh mint
โข Cilantro
๐ The noodles:
Prepare rice noodles according to the package directions, then build your bowl with all those colorful, crunchy veggies and the flavorful tofu.
Top it all off with crushed peanuts + chili oil ๐ถ๏ธ๐ฅ
โญ THE SAUCE โญ
Ingredients:
ยผ cup sugar
1 cup hot water
4 cloves garlic, minced
3โ4 Thai chilies, finely chopped
2โ3 tbsp vegan oyster sauce
ยฝ tsp salt
Juice of 2 limes
Mix everything together and let it chill while you prepare the rest of the bowl.

SCALLION OIL
This little finishing touch takes the bowl to another level!
Chop up some scallions, add a pinch of salt, then carefully pour hot neutral oil over the scallions. Give it a quick stir and drizzle that fragrant scallion oil right over your bowl.
It adds such a beautiful savory flavor and makes the whole dish even more irresistible. ๐คค
Pour the sauce over everything, finish with that scallion oil, give it a good toss, and dig in!
Sweet + sour + spicy + crunchy + fresh = the perfect bowl. ๐ฟ๐
You guys MUST try this one! โค๏ธ
