Dear vegetarians. All these nasty comments just give us all a bad name. (Yes, I'm one too.) If you're losing sleep over a mislabeled vegetarian dish, you really need to find a new hobby. Try skipping to the next recipe and smiling. It's good for your soul. ❤️❤️❤️

Also, this recipe should definitely NOT be categorized under the vegetarian section...

If you think fish are vegetarian, you clearly need a culinary lesson. It's individuals like you who make it more difficult for true lacto-ovo vegetarians. I would strongly recommend revising the title of this recipe. Such a diasspointment from a normally reputable blog.
FYI- oysters (as you suggest in your comment) are also NOT vegetarian.

I'm vegetarian too, but think your comment a little over the top. It's really not that difficult.

skip the fish sauce then and add chili instead, should provide for enough flavour to still be delicious.

The vegetarian issue isn't with the nature or quality of the recipe, its with the title, which unequivocally and falsely labels it vegetarian. Very misleading for vegetarians looking for recipes that conform to their dietary guidelines.

This is delicious! I ate it with chopped chicken bits. I advise however to add some chili to spice things up. For those vegetarian comments: Thai food whithout fish sause is not Thai Food. Might want to consider looking for different meals then.

Very disappointed that you called this recipe vegetarian when it contains fish sauce. It's clearly not vegetarian.

This looks delicious, but you really can't call it a Vegetarian recipe, as it contains fish sauce. I came across this searching for strict vegetarian recipes, so it's a considerable misnomer.

This was great! I stir fryed some ginger along with the garlic, used bok cho,y and added a shredded carrot and some Chinese celery. This will defiinitely become a regular!

Trawling the food52 site for tofu recipes and this popped up among them. Sounds great! Saving it. Thanks!

Mmmmmm, yum, yum, yum!!! This is one of my faves, too! I'm so glad to see a recipe for it. We have a terrific, ancient hole-in-the-wall Thai place not far from me, which serves something similar to this. (They stir fry bean sprouts with the aromatics, and apparently do all the other things you suggest, but then toss the cooked noodles with chopped lettuce and call it "noodle salad" -- wierd, but quite tasty.) I'm looking forward to throwing this together at home now! Thank you so much for posting it.
