You can get vegan sausages, ham, and burgers etc… pretty much anywhere in the UK, but here in Japan…….. you gotta make it yourself! Yes, we do have lots of Tofu and other healthy stuff to eat but come on! Hot dogs! All kids love hot dogs! My son was dancing when he first had a vegan hot dog in the UK. So here you go, for the sake of my son, I made vegan sausages! And they are really good! Well, they are better than what Australians call “mystery bags”, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), a class 1 carcinogen.
I think the key for this healthier version is….. konnyaku! check the recipe below and try them!
