Hi Everyone,
Check out these proper Vegan Street Foods!
Order: 2 fried pieces and chips
The Run-down: Yes. Temple of Seitan have opened a bricks and mortar site named Temple of Hackney. Temple of Seitan have made waves this year by opening the first vegan ‘chicken’ shop in London – the team are seriously turning up the heat (coconut oil) on the vegan offering in the capital. As the name suggests, Temple of Seitan specialise in one product: seitan. If you’re not familiar with seitan, it’s derived from the protein portion of wheat. Take a bite of their crispy, fried seitan doused in house dressing and nestle in a fluffy bap, and tell us that it doesn’t taste good.
Where: 10 Morning Lane, Hackney, London E9
Order: Red Spiced Bean Stew – slow cooked gently spiced black eye bean stew sprinkled with ground cassava.
The Run-down: London’s best vegan street food for when you fancy something different. What do you get when you mix Ghanian food with some of the friendliest staff in Brixton? Their hand-cut plantain chips are, without doubt, a taste sensation. In keeping with the plantain theme, try the plantain pancakes with the bean stew.
