Being in constant search of healthy vegan food a certain restaurant has been on my radar for over 10 years... Through various errors on many trips to Chicago I have never made it to Amitabul, one of the only OIL-FREE restaurants on the planet.
FINALLY, while attending my first all vegan wedding I had paramount on my todo -visiting Amitabul. It was everything I had dreamed of, but I was so sad that I've wasted 10 years of not eating there! I just still can't believe an oil-free establishment like this has existed since the late 90s... Chef Bill was fantastic, the food insanely tasty and spicy. Korean food is my favorite on the planet. I love KimChi and the sweet and spicy flavor combination.
Kristin and I both opted for a cooked Kim Chi dish. I've only ever eaten it cold, so Kim Chi & rice/noodles and veggies was a no brainer. We also started off with steamed dumplings. Amitabul does use flavor oils like sesame, but just request w/o if your menu item has them. Everything is steam fried!
Kimchi Tofu Stir Noodle (minus tofu / no flavor oils)
Spicy and tangy flavor of Amitabul’s Original kimchi steamed stirred with chunks of healthy tofu and veggies to fulfill your desire of a s spicy noodle dish. Choice of rice or wheat noodle

I was so full after the dumplings I could barely put a dent in this dish, but it was so good and spicy I drank about three glasses of water trying. I boxed it up and polished it off in the hotel room later that night, it was even better later! Oh how I wish I was there now trying the rest of the menu!

wow, that looks so delicious and it made me really hungry! Wish I had known about that while in Chicago. Really felt sick after over-indulging at The Chicago Diner...
haha, you'd regret not going to town at Chicago Diner more! Needless to say we have a blog post coming up on the insanely healthy meal they served us!
