Vegetarian Food Translator for SEA

Safe vegetarian dishes dhoondo, local script mein translation card copy karo, ya cook ke saamne audio bajao. Kyunki "veg hai na, bhaiya?" ka jawab wahan sirf ek muskaan hoti hai — aur muskaan mein fish sauce ho sakta hai.

The Hidden Traps

  • Fish Sauce (Nam Pla/Nuoc Mam): This is the default salt of Southeast Asia. A dish might have no pieces of meat, but it *will* have fish sauce unless you explicitly ask to omit it.
  • The "Jay" (เจ) Sign: In Thailand, look for yellow flags/signs with red writing. This denotes Buddhist vegan food: zero meat, seafood, dairy, or eggs.
  • Lard: Many street woks are greased with pork fat (lard). In Vietnam, specify *\"chiên bằng dầu thực vật\"* (fry in vegetable oil).
