But that was before she learned about \u003ci\u003eZhai cai\u003c\/i\u003e, or vegetarian cooking, a fascinating subset of Chinese cookery that empasizes umami-rich ingredients and can be traced back over hundreds, if not a thousand, years to Buddhist temple kitchens. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Vegan Chinese Kitchen\u003c\/i\u003e, Hannah Che shows us the magic of this highly developed and creative tradition in which nearly every dish in the Chinese repertoire can be replicated in a meatless way, such as Sichuan chili-oil wontons, or using spicy mushrooms in dan-dan noodles. In this book, you'll find recipes that are naturally plant-based with a rich culinary history that are as irresistible as they are 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will delight vegans and omnivores alike, inviting you not only to explore a whole new world of flavors and ingredients, but also to create conversations about food, cultural traditions and identity, and wholesome, sustainable cooking.","brand":"Hannah Che","offers":[{"title":"Appetite by Random House |  Hardback | Paper over boards |  2022-09-20","offer_id":44151246258431,"sku":"9780525611356","price":40.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/products\/BNCImageAPI_33aba74c-6798-40b5-bed5-8c25fae9bab8.jpg?v=1650344106","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9780525611356","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
