Las Vegas Vegan-Friendly Restaurant: The Black Sheep

Vegan Options at The Black Sheep

There are a handful of vegan dishes on the menu at The Black Sheep.

First off, whatever you do, the scallion pancakes are a must. These light, crispy pancakes come topped with spicy braised shiitake mushrooms, jicama, pickled radish and micro cilantro. Check out the easy vegan scallion pancake recipe from Chef (although nothing compares to the dish at The Black Sheep)!

Next, there are the Vietnamese glass noodles. Tossed in a spicy gochujang sauce, it comes with Chinese broccoli, Hen of the Woods mushrooms, and roasted Heirloom carrots.

There’s also the cous cous curry. This hearty dish features yellow curry couscous, sautéed Chinese broccoli and a charred plum sauce.

Finally, there’s the smoked eggplant salad that comes to your table (you guessed it) smoking.

The Black Sheep is also flexible when it comes to tweaking dishes to make them vegan. You can modify the grilled peach salad (hold the goat cheese) and the citrus mixed green salad as well.

Plus, if Tran’s around and has a minute, you never know what you might get.
