Vegan Chinese Cooking – VIRTUAL

Join us in this fun hands-on virtual class, where you will learn easy cooking techniques for creating delicious plant-based Chinese meals.

Chinese cuisine has many dishes that are vegan-friendly or easily adaptable for the vegan diet. We will discuss how to shop for pantry staples, including the best brands to buy and finding healthy substitutes for standard ingredients. We will touch briefly on vegetarian and vegan traditions in China, We will cook two Chinese vegan dishes together in class, one traditional and one vegan take on a restaurant favorite:

• Yunnan-Style Sweet and Sour Tomato Salad
• General Tso's Cauliflower and Tofu

And do not worry if you don't have access to specialty ingredients; ingredients we use in the class can be purchased in most supermarkets.  Ingredient list and Zoom invite will be sent before class, with suggestions for substitutions if you can't find certain ingredients.
