Vegetarian Chinese Soul Food is an excellent choice for everyone who wants to get acquainted with the less known selection from the wide variety of Chinese recipes. Hsiao-Ching Chou begins the book with an exceptionally long introduction, detailing the vegetables and other ingredients essential to the recipes, and explaining how to prepare them before use.
The recipes are divided into chapters by type of dish: dumplings, dim sum, soups, stir-fries, steamed dishes… There is a very wide range of dishes within 85 recipes, from simple appetizers to main dishes, which will easily help you feed a group of friends. It all looks amazing: the dumplings a’la har gaw (with pumpkin filling instead of shrimp), a simple Taiwanese soup with cabbage and tomato, full of umami, or egg foo yung – a crispy omelet with curry sauce.
Vegetarian Chinese Soul Food contains recipes that are rather simple and quick to prepare, so it will be an ideal book for everyday use even for the busiest of you.
