Don’t worry! There are halal restaurants in the city. As I know, there are two Halal Beef Noodles inside the ancient town.

recipes for tofu grill
Hello TCG;
We just came back from our trip to China & it was such a great trip !
First of all I want to thank to Ms Hillary Gao for her kind help wih booking the train tickets
We spent 2 nights in Pingyao & we really loved that place. We loved to eat with the local people street food outside the wall. One of the dishes that we want to try at home is the grill dishes. We saw this in many places - tofu & many vegetables on the grill with speciall spices. I think it has the cooking style of Halal food.
Itried to check at the internet how to make it at home; but didnt find so much information.
I will be really grateful if you can help me to find such a recipe; or even a link for a site with good chinese recipes

Dear,
Thanks for your attention on us. You can try to make the food grill vegetables in the following way.
Take grill tofu for example.
1. First, you need to prepare these things: tofu, eggs, garlic, onion, green pepper, carrot, sausage, tomato paste, salt, soy sauce, and starch.
2. Slice tofu, and put it into saline water.
3. Chop all the ingredients; whip 4 eggs; add soy sauce and salt into starch.
4. Fry the tofu until it turn gold.
5. Add a little oil in another pot. Fry the ingredients, and add some tomato paste, and the starch you prepared.
6. Add some oil to a pan, and put the egg into the pan and spread it out. Then, add the tofu, and scatter the green pepper after turning down the fire. Then, you can enjoy the delicious food!
Best Regards,
TravelChinaGuide

As I know, there is no a pure veg. resto there. I'd suggest you walk into a regular restaurant and just order veg. food. Several good restos are available in the ancient town.

Outside the old city, there are a lot of restaurants near the railway station, an it’s hard to say which is the best. There is one called Qingeda, located opposite the hospital.
Actually, foods in restaurants inside the town is good as well. Just choose a legal one to avoid being cheated.
