A vegetarian follow-up to the very popular Chinese Soul Food cookbook that includes 75 plant-based comfort food recipes you can make at home.
Chinese Soul Food drew cooks into the kitchen with the assurance they could make this cuisine at home. Though a popular cuisine across North America, Chinese food can be a little intimidating. But author Hsiao-Ching Chou’s friendly and accessible recipes work for everyone, including average home cooks. In this new collection, you’ll find vegetarian recipes for stir-fries, rice and noodle dishes, soups, braises, and pickles. Of course, the book wouldn’t be complete without vegetarian versions of Chou’s famously delicious dumplings, including soup dumplings and shu mai, as well as other dim sum delights. Separate chapters feature egg and tofu recipes. From Cauliflower with Spiced Shallot Oil to Kung Pao Tofu Puffs, and from Hot and Sour Soup to Ma Po Tofu to Steamed Egg Custard, these recipes will satisfy your every craving for classic Chinese comfort food–and all without meat.
You will also find helpful information including essential equipment, core pantry ingredients (with acceptable substitutions), ways to season and maintain a wok, and other practical tips that make this an approachable cookbook. Home cooks are gently guided toward becoming comfortable cooking satisfying Chinese meals. Whether you’re a vegetarian or simply reducing the amount of meat in your daily diet, these foolproof recipes are made to be cooked any night of the week. As the author likes to say, any kitchen can be a Chinese kitchen!
From the Publisher
Seaweed Salad
This recipe yields a generous amount of salad, but any leftovers can be saved for the next day. In fact, the longer it sits in the dressing, the more time the flavors can come together.
Tofu Rolls
Alternately called bean curd skin, spring roll soybean skin, and yuba, these skins are derived from the film that forms on the surface of simmering soy milk.
Lucky 8 Stir-Fry
This mixed vegetable dish takes its inspiration from Buddhist vegetarian cooking and can include any combination of ingredients that represent good luck, prosperity, happiness, family wholeness, and longevity.
Sweet Corn Soup
If you keep a couple bags of frozen corn in the freezer, you’ll always have one great soup in your back pocket. This soup is delicately hearty—yes, that’s possible!
Soup Dumplings
Soup dumplings (aka xiao long bao or XLB) have been enjoying a fervent following in the United States in the last few years. Here, we have a tofu-based filling and a simple vegetable broth that gels with the addition of agar agar, a seaweed-based product.
Homestyle Egg Foo Yung with Curry Gravy
Egg foo yung is basically a fluffy omelet with gravy. To get the eggs to puff up, they’re gently deep fried in a giant wok. If you don’t do much deep frying, this can be a barrier. So I offer two methods to make the omelet.
Flaky Ribbon Pancakes
The Chinese name for these pancakes is shou (hand or fingers) zhua (grab or catch) bing (pancake). Conceptually, it’s a pancake that has layers of ribbons coiled within it and you use your fingers to pull a stretch of pancake and break it off to eat.
Mung Bean Congee
Congee is my oatmeal. As a child, I preferred eating it with just a dash of sugar. As my palate evolved, I graduated to having congee with savory condiments.
Sweet Potatoes with Chili-Shallot Jam
Sweet potatoes have so much flavor, you don’t have to do much to them. In my family, my mother is the superfan and will eat roasted sweet potatoes unadorned or as an accompaniment to plain congee. When I served her this dish, she perked up and exclaimed, “This is good!” There’s no higher compliment.
