Hi,
I want to make vegetarian bun rieu. Do you know what is used in place of the crab paste? I've tried the vegetarian crab paste stocking together with your basic veg. broth but it does not give the right flavour. Love to have your input.
Thanks in advance.

no matter how hard you try or how much talent you have, you can never get a vegetarian version of a non-vegetarian dish to taste like the real thing.

the question is why do you want it to taste like the meat version? why can't vegetarian dishes have its own unique taste and not have to try to be something it's not?

well, it wouldn't be called vegetarian bun rieu, if it doesn't taste anything like it.

why does vegetarian food have to taste like it has meat in it?

a name is just a name.

why is bun rieu called bun rieu if it doesn't taste anything like vegetarian bun rieu?

why does vegetarian food have to taste like/be based on meat dishes and not the other way around?
