@skinnylatte add Philippines to that list. Amazingly, my spouse, @czds was raised vegetarian there. Kare-kare without meat, with bago’ong made with fermented tofu, black beans, and savories rather than fried shrimp. We added lobster and oyster mushroom to her mother’s recipe to get a bit of shrimp flavor. Ordering mixed vegetables in a Filipino restaurant invariably means asking that they hold the ground pork, and patis (fish sauce) is a standard in many dishes.
