Chinese Food That Makes You Come Back for More-But Not Because You're
Still Hungry
There is a Chinese revolution taking America by storm—it’s hip,
delicious, and surprisingly inexpensive.
With 77 restaurants across the United States and more opening each month,
the P.F. Chang's restaurant chain has discovered a recipe for success.
An upbeat, bustling atmosphere, good service, valet parking, and delicious,
vegan food have diners lining up for tables, sometimes for hours (although
starters are served in the bar).
“I’ve never eaten anything like their pressed bean curd. It
is cheat meat,” said PETA staffer Wyatt Fawns, who loves the Vegetarian
Lettuce Wraps and the Kung Pao Bean Curd. “It’s weird. Even
before I finish one bite of their Kung Pao, I’m looking forward to
the next.”
Other PETA staff recommendations are Chang's Bean Curd, Coconut-Curry
Vegetables, and Ma Po Bean Curd.
Here’s the best part: The kitchen will convert any meat dish into
a vegan one by substituting tofu, five-spice pressed bean curd, and vegan
“oyster” sauce. P.F. Chang's recommends using tofu in
mild dishes and pressed bean curd in the spicier entrées.
The vegan-friendly attitude of P.F. Chang's is largely due to the
number of requests that management receives for meatless cuisine. Vegan
dishes are among the bestsellers. One manager told PETA Eats that most people
prefer the vegetarian lettuce wraps over those with chicken. Wok-seared
tofu, red onions, and water chestnuts with hints of mint and lime and served
with cool lettuce leaves are a combination that few can turn down.
