Vegan Substitute
Vegan pork alternatives for chops, stir-fries, dumplings, and roasts. Jackfruit, seitan, and mushroom-based options with real recipes.
Pigs are highly intelligent animals (smarter than dogs) confined to gestation crates so small they cannot turn around. Over 1.5 billion pigs are killed for food each year.
Pulled pork, tacos, BBQ sandwiches, curries
Drain and shred with forks, then braise in BBQ sauce. Absorbs flavors beautifully. Neutral taste on its own.
Roasts, chops, stir-fries, schnitzel
Season vital wheat gluten with smoked paprika, garlic, and a touch of liquid smoke for pork-like flavor.
Pulled pork, carnitas, Asian stir-fries
Shred with forks along the grain, then pan-fry until crispy. Amazing meaty texture.
Jackfruit is the best match for pulled pork and shredded pork dishes. Seitan works best for chops and roasts. King oyster mushrooms shredded with forks make incredible carnitas with a realistic meaty texture.
Young green jackfruit has a neutral taste and stringy texture very similar to pulled pork. When braised in BBQ sauce or seasoned with smoked paprika and liquid smoke, it's remarkably convincing.
