Like another commenter mentioned, definitely look at other cultures foods. For example lots of Indian, Thai, Vietnamese and even Chinese food either has vegan or foods that are really easy to make vegan. Some example swaps: Indian food uses lots of ghee which can be subbed for vegan butter and East Asian food uses lots of fish sauce /oyster sauce which is easy to buy vegan versions of.
