Vegetarian food and vegan flavors in Kaarina
Are you looking for fresh and hearty vegetarian food in the Kaarina or Turku area? Thai cuisine is known for its abundant use of vegetables, fresh herbs, and aromatic spices, which makes it a naturally excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans.
Thai favorites tailored to your diet
However, authentic Thai food often traditionally contains fish sauce (nam pla) or other animal-based broth concentrates. At Little Thai, we want everyone to be able to enjoy Thai food culture with confidence. That is why we have made customizing our dishes as easy as possible.
Almost all dishes available with tofu
Sometimes vegetarian options in restaurants can be one-sided, but we have plenty of choice. You can replace the protein in almost all of the dishes on our menu with high-quality tofu.
Tofu absorbs the nuanced flavors of Thai sauces and curries perfectly. Whether you want traditional Pad Thai, coconut milk-based Green Curry, or spicy Pad Prik Gaeng, tofu is a stomach-friendly and protein-rich choice for your plate.
No hidden fish sauce – the choice is yours
One of the most common challenges for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet in Asian cuisine is avoiding fish sauce. At Little Thai, we always prepare our food from fresh ingredients upon order, which allows for flexible customization.
Replacing fish sauce: You can ask our kitchen to leave out the fish sauce entirely or replace it with high-quality soy sauce.
Vegan customization: Please let us know when ordering if you follow a strictly vegan diet. For example, we can leave out the egg from fried noodle and rice dishes (such as the classic Pad Thai).
Pick these vegetarian and vegan recommendations from our menu
When you visit us in Kaarina or order take-away, here are a few popular picks from our list:
Pad Thai with Tofu (available gluten-free and dairy-free): Thailand's most famous noodle dish, combining rice noodles, fresh vegetables, tofu, and crunchy crushed peanuts. (In the vegan version, we leave out the egg).
Rich Curries: For example, creamy Panang Curry or Green Curry made with coconut milk are a perfect match for tofu and vegetables.
Vegetable Spring Rolls: Our crispy deep-fried cheese and vegetable spring rolls are a great start to a meal for those following a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. (Please note that these contain cheese, so they are not suitable for vegans).
