Sushi Tei Launches Meatless Japanese Food Such As Omurice, Maki Rolls And More

Meatless Mondays may not be the easiest endeavour for fans of Japanese food. However, Sushi Tei has now launched a seasonal meatless menu to give customers a meat-free Japanese food experience. From now until 13 October 2020, they will be offering a range of meatless Japanese dishes, including maki rolls and omurice.

Maki rolls are a staple Japanese dish for Singaporeans. Sushi Tei now turns them plant-based with their Shokubutsu Ebi Roll ($9.80++), which comes with minced mock meat and prawns. If you prefer an extra dose of fruitiness in your maki roll, consider ordering the Shokubutsu BBQ Ham Roll ($7.80++), made with plant-based ham and finished off with mayonnaise and fresh mango.

If you’re after some hot food, Sushi Tei also has the Shokubutsu Curry Omurice ($13.80++). Enjoy a warm and comforting plate of omurice, topped with a fluffy omelette. This hearty omurice features plant-based beef, braised in savoury Japanese curry and mushrooms. Do note, however, this is non-vegan-friendly as there are real eggs used in the omelette.

Sushi Tei’s meatless menu also includes other dishes such as the Shokubutsu Hamburg ($10.80++) which stars a patty made of plant-based meat, served on a rice burger. Those who appreciate lighter bites can also look forward to the konnyaku-based Shokubutsu Fish Nugget ($9.80) which is a high-fibre and low-calorie option.

It is worth noting that Sushi Tei’s meatless menu is not fully plant-based. Apart from the use of egg in their omurice, the soy sauce used in the restaurant is still fish-based. The restaurant also uses the same cooking utensils and oil for both their meatless and regular dishes.

For other meatless options, Starbucks also has a new Impossible pie up for grabs.
