Now that our house is a mostly vegan one[ref] guests are free to bring non vegan items and we haven’t gotten rid of everything non-vegan that we had previously [/ref], we have been getting takeaway much less than before. There are a few takeaway places that do have vegan options but not covering all cuisines. One that we have been missing on is the Chinese takeaway.

We have now gotten quite good at recreating the old favourite lemon chicken with suitable substitutions. It is a fair amount of fun to cook up, significantly cheaper and as a result, there is less post dinner guilt. Overall I am a fan of the fake takeaway. I wonder what other dishes we should try to recreate.
