Vegan Vietnamese Kitchen & Market Journey

About

In 2024, we still struggle at the market or local store, navigating the labels of plant-based meats, pondering if they're worth it, how to cook them, what to do with leftovers, and how to pair them with flavors we crave.

That's where we come in. Slug Kitchen is a plant-based restaurant where we will gather for the meet-up. This class is all about appreciating Tempeh and Tofu—transforming these seemingly bland ingredients into dishes you'll proudly say you learned in Vietnam.

Tempeh offers rich protein and texture, with a unique nutty flavor and fermented aroma. But how do we harness its potential?

Tofu, on the other hand, is a blank canvas ready for any culinary creation you desire.

Menu

• Five-spiced roasted tempeh rainbow salad with peanut butter dressing.
• Marinated tofu fresh rainbow spring rolls with refresing fermented pineapple dipping sauce.
• Plant-based protein with multicolor vegetable, cous cous and citrus dressing.
• Tofu pudding with refreshing ginger syrup.
