ramyaramesh3007This vegan Moo Yong Sandwich is a traditional thai sandwich made with vegan pork floss, smeared with mayo and a generous amount of chili oil.
My sandwich series is the perfect way to explore veganized versions of sandwiches around the world. Moo Yong Sandwich – also known as Pork Floss Sandwich – is a popular one in Thailand. Pork floss is a common topping in many asian dishes, including the famous rice porridge dish called Congee.
It’s spongey and will remind you of cotton candy. It’s salty, savoury and packs a nice flavour in fresh asian bakeries. It’s super delicious, to say the least but a vegan version might be a little difficult to find in physical stores but you should be able to get them on Amazon.
This sandwich may look simple but actually consists of many layers: it uses white bread with a bologna-style meat (I used smoked tofu for this) and layers of vegan mayo, pork gloss and chili oil.
What You Need
- white bread – or any type of bread should work, as long as they are regular square slices of bread.
- extra firm tofu – to imitate the meat
- vegan pork floss – you can find this on amazon.
- chili oil – find my homemade version here.
- vegan mayo
