When Hannah Che determined to change into a vegan, she worried that it would separate her from the traditions and food that her Chinese circle of relatives celebrated. But that used to be before she learned about
zhai cai, the plant-based Chinese cuisine that emphasizes umami-rich ingredients and can also be traced back over centuries to Buddhist temple kitchens.In
The Vegan Chinese Kitchen, through gorgeous photography, stories, and recipes, Hannah Che shows us the magic of this highly developed and creative tradition in which nearly each dish in the Chinese repertoire can also be replicated in a meatless way, such as Blistered Dry-Fried String Beans or Sweet and Sour Tofu. You’ll also find recipes that are naturally plant-based and as impossible to resist as they’re nourishing, such as flaky scallion pancakes, corn stir-fried with peppers and pine nuts, or pea shoots braised in a velvety mushroom broth made with sesame-oil roux.This book will delight vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores alike, inviting you to explore a whole world of flavors and ingredients.
