What is it like to live as a vegetarian in China? How to be vegetarian in China and still eat incredibly well? In this vlog, I show you everything I eat in a day as a vegetarian living in Beijing, take you grocery shopping to see what veggies & vegetarian protein options are available, and share tips on where I get international ingredients and how I get the best grocery deals.

🙋🏻♀️ HELLO
hi i'm Evelyn. thanks for stopping by!
➭ what do you do? i'm a tech project manager
➭ where are you located? Beijing
➭ what's your weird accent? i grew up in china, and lived in Chicago
➭ how did you end up in Beijing? Imagine leaving your life for a vacation and never making it back...would you ever accept the inevitability of moving on? That's what happened to me in 2020. After watching my entire life in Chicago slip away because of COVID, I made the hard decision to start over in Beijing, and I want to share the journey with you.

I’m seriously obsessed with your videos!! Your editing, content, everything is so underrated!! 🥰🥰🥰
thank you!!🥰
Omg! I am also vegetarian :3 This june it'll be 10 years. It was seamless for me as a teen I told everyone that I'll stop eating meat one day but took me a long time to figure out what to eat and how to replace meat. Till this day I have trouble to eat enough protein, I'm just not a big fan, it makes my belly ache (I think it's cause my stomach is not acidic enough but there's no cure for that).
I used to track macros and eat a ton of chicken breast for protein but same thing - found out later that I can't even digest that much protein🙈Now I just try to eat food that makes me feel happy + makes my body feel good - luckily there are tons of fruits and veggies in China🤩
Evelyn! your episodes always cheer me up, whatever you do, it makes happiness! The world is a brighter when you are up, like the sun, im sure of it.
🙄 a whole month without Evelyn😔, hope you are alright?, sending silly emojis and words of concern to make your busy life better... did it work? damn! really worried now 😟
yoo these videos are sooo nicely put together! watching these videos is making me miss china! haven't been back in 4 years!
I love this, I need to try and make spring rolls again - haven’t made them in a long time. Your videos are giving me inspiration to try and start finding the time in my busy schedule to cook more at home. I also might have a taobao addiction.
Love your videos! ❤️ can’t wait to see more of your Beijing journey!
So happy you enjoyed!! Sending love💕
Pls you're my new favorite RUclipsr 😍❤️
As a vegetarian living in brazil, wish I could find that variety of tofu in the grocery store too 😆love love love your videos!
Thank you!!! I’m sure Brazil has a ton of local produce to offer too🤗 I’d love to learn more about what vegetarian options are available in Brazil!
@@tapiocapress sorry to butt in in the convo but my husband is Brazilian, I lived there for a year - terrible experience food-wise. No meat replacements available, no options in restaurants cos they're meat lovers, produce is not great in variety and quality (worst tomatoes I've ever eaten, they over grow they cucumbers), they have only 3 kinds of bread - all white kind, they use too simplistic seasoning which gives flat flavour without any dimensions and they eat too much rice (i am polish, i have potato juice instead of blood in my veins :p). Oh, their desserts are too sweet. No compatibility with my taste. (Tho pineapple is soooo good there. And apples. So crunchy. But it didn't save the experience.) To be fair my husband doesn't like polish food either but you cannot take seriously an opinion of of someone who doesn't like veggies. :P
@@szpaqus not to have meat replacements kills me, i pass as a very picky eater when eating out even tho i'm not at all, because everything has meat. But we have very accessable veggies and fruit, which is a plus =) and yeah, the combo of rice and beans is the base of the brazilian meal, the everyday meal always has these two. I've never been out of the country so i can't compare to anywhere else, but i wish we had more incentive to eat meatless, it can be hard to explain to everybody that you're not going to starve or get malnutrition by going veggie 😆
@@marina2987 that happens to all of us, no matter the country, we have to explain that no, we do not eat grass and sticks :d Poland only now has gotten the whiff of progression when it comes to not eating meat, replacements are now pretty widely accessible (tho nothing compared to USA) and Brazil just cannot go much longer with the excessive meat export and consumption since the water issues will just worsen with time, cattle uses up too much of your resources. I think not many people will like any other country's cuisine better than what they grew up eating, it's cool to learn and try new stuff but it's always an acuired taste and you just miss things that the new country doesn't have.
@@szpaqus sorry but this is absolutely not true. i am brazilian and have been VEGAN since I was a teenager in Rio de Janeiro and it is VERY easy to be vegan. not only will any regular supermarkrt have loads of accessible meat replacements, but the entire base of Brazilian cuisine is vegan, which most people will eat with meat on the side (vs. french cuisine for example that has animal derivatives incorporated into most dishes). fruit and vegetables in brazil are absolutely fantastic, and there are so many amazing street food options too (pastel de palmito - a fried rectangular pastry filled with palm heart), cuscuz (sweet and glutinous tapioca with coconut), acarajé (black eyed pea buns in raw red palm oil filled with okra and other delicious fillings), açaí, which is a cold berry smoothie... the list goes on and on and this is regular street food. not to mention ANYWHERE you go you can get rice beans, salad, vegetables and pasta. there are also lots of pay per kilo restaurants where you can pick and choose what you want to put on your plate. also, in all big cities there is lots of immigration from japan and china so you can find tofu to buy, but that is a bit more specific since its not what most brazilians usually eat. one of my favourite brazilian dishes is called moqueca which can be made with plantain or palm heart and at least in rio you can find in a handful of restaurants in different parts of the city. there are also arab-inspired veg options both in restaurants and street food because of the lebanese immigration waves. also there is a very strong seventh day adventist community on brazil which produces a lot of more industrialized vegan options (vegabom superbom). there is a new brand of meat alternatives called futuro which make sausages and burgers and honestly is better and cheaper than beyond burger. you can get that at several burger chains, meatballs in the pasta chain called spoleto, and at most major supermarkets. could go on and on but i think being vegan in rio is easier than in most of europe (where i currently live). because of my work i have also spent months on end in rural towns in all regions of brazil and while the diversity of options falls, it is always possible to eat well. hope that helps and fell free to ask any questions.
Great content! As I was watching your videos, I was thinking maybe adding Beijing (in addition to China) to your title probably would widen your audience? Some people who are new to Beijing might be searching for info on Beijing living.
Ah, you having Beijing in some of your other videos' titles. Just for this video, since China is so big, the vegetarian food scene might be drastically different from the city to city.
Thanks for the suggestion!😇
I just found out your videos and I love them so much !! Please give us a lot of "Living in China" content :) Love from France
yay!! Working on a lot of "living in China" content:)
The Wan dou Huang looks so tasty even if you said it was off! So did the rest of your meals 💕💕
haha thank you!! I did make a more successful batch later 🤓
I love your videoooooos 🥰
Thank you🥰🥰
Your videos are so creative! Keep it up :-)
Thank you!!
Everyone kept telling me that cooking in china was next to impossible due to high cost and delivery being faster but this gives me hope that I will be able to continue cooking my own food.
Frankly some ingredients that western people prefer are expensive indeed, but trust me, if you're fond of discovering some Chinese veggies and fruits, the cost isn't that high at all
Also, there're many frozen vegan dumplings in every fridge at every supermarket, cheaper than meat ones and quite yummy!
+ 1 There are so many fun veggies and fruits for very cheap in China. Even western ingredients - I was able to find some at reasonable prices on Taobao. Taobao is a big rabbit hole you just need to find the right search terms (and spend a million hours browsing🙈)
And sweet buns too! The frozen section is quite amazing👍🏼
Hey can you make more food videos because you rightly mentioned in the beginning of the video. I'm more interested in Vegetarianism IN CHINA rather than lifestyle videos which almost everyone does. You'll really stand out. Trust me.
“a veggie that bears no resemblance to its name” 😭😭
for some reason feels like a great book title
hahahah I might write a book on such vegetables one day🤪 Thank you!
Miss you so much! I think you ate perfectly cute!
🤩🤩🤩let's 📞

北京物價很低 但是租金很貴 來北京適應嗎哈哈哈 更多數人會選擇上海～～
说实话还在适应🙈 觉得在北京时间还是太短没办法表达出不适应的地方 以后可能去上海试试

@@NO1xANIMExFAN 感觉不像呀，心都不在中国🇨🇳
@@LZP-im2pu 反正她之前的视频的留言里说过，而且她的英文也有一点中文口音（虽然已经算说的很好了）。至于心在哪里嘛，不是咱们看一两个视频就能踹测的
