It seems there is a huge effort to make Vegan burgers, vegan hotdogs, etc. Is there anything new in the vegan world or is it constantly trying to make foods to imitate meat based recipes?

In my experience the only non-vegan ingredient in asian vegetarian dishes is eggs, and around here it is absolutely no problem to ask for extra-tofu instead. What sauces are you refering to?
Off the top of my head - fish sauce, oyster sauce, and red coloring in other sauces
Fish is not vegetarian tho, they usually use seaweed and mushroom sauce in vegetarian dishes
Yes, there are vegan versions or replacements, and there are plenty of people (cooks) who won’t even register that a sauce might not be vegan and use them. Source: personal experience. If this isn’t a problem around you, I am happy you don’t have to scrutinized menus like that.
Yes, gotcha! We had a Thai delivery service like that we used to order from. Despite clearly labeling the dishes as vegan they regularly used fishsauce, put eggs in it or even chicken once… Super frustrating and there wasn’t many other vegan options. After many fuck-ups we lost trust in that restaurant we got super paranoid everytime a dish tasted “fishy” so we stopped ordering from there.
