🌱 Recommendation:
Vegan Lunar New Year foods refer to festive foods specifically designed for the Lunar New Year (Spring Festival) that contain absolutely no animal-based ingredients (such as eggs, milk, honey, animal fats, etc.). These foods are becoming increasingly popular in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and overseas Chinese communities, and are especially suitable for vegetarians, vegans, or those seeking a healthy diet. Traditional Lunar New Year foods are mostly pastries, candies, and fried snacks, while vegan versions typically use plant-based ingredients (such as rice, sugar, nuts, mushrooms, and soy products), emphasizing low oil and sugar content, no preservatives, and health benefits. They retain the festive auspicious meanings (such as New Year cake symbolizing "rising higher every year" and radish cake symbolizing "good fortune") while being healthier and more environmentally friendly.

Vegetarian Lunar New Year Foods
Vegan Sweet Sweet Almond Strips, also known as Vegan Almond Crisps or Vegan Almond Bars, is a plant-based version of the classic Cantonese Chinese New Year treat "Hung Yan Tiu" (杏仁條 / Almond Strips). These slender, golden strips are generously topped with crunchy almond slices, delivering a sweet, buttery (yet vegan) crunch that lives up to its "sweet sweet" (甜蜜蜜) name—symbolizing a year filled with sweetness, happiness, harmony in relationships, and blissful family moments.
While traditional recipes use lard or butter for that irresistible flakiness, this vegan adaptation is handmade in Hong Kong by masters with decades of experience, featuring a special vegetable oil-based formula (flour, sugar, almond slices, plant oils, etc.), fully free of animal products (egg-free, dairy-free, no five pungent spices, no lard, no preservatives).
Baked or lightly fried to perfection for a crisp texture, rich nutty aroma, and balanced sweetness without being overly cloying. A festive, limited-edition gift item during Lunar New Year, often packaged in festive buckets or elegant tins, making it an ideal companion gift, party snack, or compassionate addition to CNY gift sets for vegans, vegetarians, and health-conscious loved ones in Hong Kong.
