I am somewhat new to and bad at cooking food for myself, and I only want to cook vegan. Right now I pretty much only eat Tofu Fried Rice for every meal because that's the only thing I'm good at making. I've been looking at vegan alternatives for lots of beloved foods, and there are a lot. Basically every single popular dish I have web-searched for has had a vegan recipe for it. Thought maybe it would be faster to ask for the exceptions, because my search engine gave irrelevant results. Any info?

    Raw clams & oysters. Eggs that aren't scrambled are a very tough nut to crack as well. Probably octopus. I'm pretty sure canned vegan fish is not a thing.

      I have seen cans of mock seafood in Asian stores eg. mock abalone. Not sure how accurate but I enjoy them in stir fries. They are either soy protein or gluten, and are textured differently from the other mock meats

      Probably octopus

      actually i found a vegan calamari recipe while trying to find any dishes that cannot be made vegan

      fortunately for me, i have always hated seafood and the two things i have ever liked have vegan recipes.

      Eggs that aren't scrambled are a very tough nut to crack as well

      i've found some recipes for some non scrambled vegan eggs, although i guess i didn't look too closely. are there problems with them?

          I've seen vegan sunny side up eggs before but haven't tasted them yet. The ingredients make me think the yolk wouldn't actually taste like a yolk. There's also an expensive vegan hard boiled egg that I haven't had. However, I've never seen vegan jammy ramen eggs.

        Oh I was thinking of European canned fish. The Buddhist vegans in China are great though. Lots of faux meats.
