🌱 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
Red date and walnut sandwiches originate from a Xinjiang specialty and are particularly popular in Hong Kong (brands such as PremiOne, Dot Dot Green, Tung Cheong Seafood, and Ren Yu Tang often offer New Year's gift boxes or individually packaged versions). In recent years, it has also become a best-selling vegan/healthy New Year's food. Common sizes are over 20-30g per piece, large and plump.
Texture and Flavor: The first bite offers the soft, sweet, and glutinous taste of red dates (natural fructose flavor, sweet but not cloying), followed by the crisp and rich aroma of bursting walnuts in the center. The two blend together as you chew, creating an ultimate "soft outside, crisp inside, sweet and fragrant" experience. Some products are lightly baked or vacuum-packed, allowing the red dates to absorb more flavor and the walnuts to become even crisper, without sticking to your teeth.
Nutritional Value: Red dates nourish blood and qi, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and are rich in iron, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, helping to improve complexion, aid sleep, and boost immunity. Walnuts nourish the brain and improve intelligence, promote bowel movements, and contain Omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E, beneficial for cardiovascular health and memory. This combination is hailed as a "golden pair" for "blood and brain nourishment," especially suitable for women, pregnant women, the elderly, students, and office workers as a daily energy boost or afternoon tea. Vegan, additive-free versions are very popular among vegetarians in Hong Kong.
Lunar New Year Significance: A must-have for the entire Lunar New Year, this bright red candy symbolizes "sweetness, harmony, and longevity," often replacing traditional fried candies and prominently displayed on coffee tables or gift boxes. Individual packaging is highly practical, avoiding hand contact contamination, making it easy to share, and suitable for visiting relatives and friends during the New Year; easy for the elderly and children to chew, hygienic, and presentable.
Suggested Consumption: Simply open the package and eat 1-5 pieces as a snack; it can also be used to enhance the flavor of tea, added to oatmeal porridge, or sweet soup. The calories mainly come from natural sugars and nut fats; it is recommended to eat 3-8 pieces daily, as excessive consumption can be overwhelmingly sweet. Especially suitable for pregnant women or those needing to replenish blood.
Other Options:
Vegan Nian Gao (Sticky Rice Cake): Made with glutinous rice, coconut milk, brown sugar or organic cane sugar, it's sweet but not cloying, symbolizing "rising to higher positions." Common flavors include coconut milk, brown sugar, and longan Nian Gao, and red date Nian Gao. After steaming, it's soft, chewy, and sweet, and can be eaten directly or fried.
Vegan Turnip Cake (Lo Bak Go): Made with white turnip, rice flour, shiitake mushrooms, and preserved radish, it's savory and delicious, symbolizing "good fortune." Vegan versions don't include preserved meats or eggs; common varieties include shiitake mushroom turnip cake and black truffle shiitake mushroom turnip cake. It's also less likely to cause internal heat if consumed in large quantities.
Vegan Taro Cake: Steamed with taro, rice flour, and mushrooms, it has a smooth texture and a natural taro aroma. Common varieties include shiitake mushroom taro cake, suitable for those who enjoy root vegetable flavors.
Vegan Water Chestnut Cake / Osmanthus Water Chestnut Cake: Sweet and crisp, made with water chestnuts and infused with osmanthus for added aroma, symbolizing a refreshing start to the new year.

Handmade and free of the five pungent vegetables (a common requirement for Buddhist vegetarianism), suitable for gifting.
