Carmen – I haven’t tried any without mock meat or tofu. But I would think you can just use a variety of veggies as long as it’s flavorful. If you give it a try, please let me know how it turned out. :-)

If you wish to not use mock meat, do you think that soem sort of bean… or just a variety of veggies would work just as well?

These look amazing! I’ve bought a version from the store, but I bet homemade is much better and better for you w/o the msg.

Just offhand, Vp2 and Tiengarden in New York City both have vegan versions of this. The Vp2 one is huge with tons of filling, the Tiengarden version are similar to what you’ve made with mushrooms and soy inside. Both very tasty.

ooo i love this one! i’m definitely going to try this. dim sum (or yum cha as it’s called in australia) is one of my favourite things ever, and these sticky rice parcels were a particular favourite of mine as a kid

This might seem like an overstatement, but… OMG, I think I love you! I think this is one of the few complex food-things I’d actually try and make.

My Grandma only makes a meaty version, and there’s only one place, far out place, I know of in Montreal that makes homemade vegan lo mai gai.

I think I know what I’ll be making/eating on vacation…!
