I never realised how much of a #tofu goth I was until this trip 😯
I have been corrupted by the likes of @m1tch9i and have found myself drawn more and more to this cubed curd of beans 🫘
You don’t really see it quite as much in local dishes as you would in the north where vegetarian food is more common. Krabi, unlike the north where Mahāyāna traditions have prospered due to Chinese immigration, practice Theravāda Buddhism which isn’t as restrictive of people’s food intake — or so I’ve been informed. There is also a sizeable Muslim population here & it’s a coastal community so #seafood is the norm and local “vegetarian” cuisine really is just vegetables, nuts 🥜, and the rare bean or legume 🫛
Tofu is not a staple in restaurants and will not feature in most food vendor options as part of a vegetarian or vegan meal. Thankfully though, it’s still an option almost everywhere and Thailand has not yet been corrupted (or spoiled) by Japanese egg tofu, so this is still a safe option anywhere 😅
I checked and the #chillisauce they use here is #accidentallyvegan! So is the sour stuff 😋 Just erm, you know the deal with cross contamination when #omnivegandining 🐟 Use your best judgement when going around.
