This class with Chef Wai Chu takes a fresh look at the remarkable flavors and versatility of Chinese vegan cooking. With just a few of the healthier ingredients from the Asian pantry, you can easily create a huge variety of homestyle dishes. First, we’ll look at some ingredients and equipment (steamers, woks, spiders) commonly found in the Chinese kitchen. Next, we’ll learn the essentials of health-friendly Asian cooking techniques like stir-frying, steaming and stewing. We'll then prepare a variety of recipes that are simple and impressively delicious, including: steamed shiitake and cabbage dumplings; bean curd rolls with "vegetarian duck" stuffed with dried shiitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots; stewed daikon with Chinese five-spice blend; stir-fried mung bean vermicelli with bell peppers; fresh wild mushrooms and silken tofu in black bean sauce with baby bok choy; steamed jasmine rice; and sweet potato rice balls in sweetened coconut soup.
