These five delicious vegan -- plant-based, no-animal-products-involved, you-make-yourself-- recipes are probably strike a familiar chord for you and quite possibly their non-plant-based form had a place on your "comfort foods" list before you decided to "go vegan".
Remember Dim Sum? Well, you can get together with your vegan friends and enjoy that joyous experience again!
Mmmm-- these veggie rolls might not fit into your "Chinese food" box/idea, but it is one wonderful way to capitalize on all the raw greens that could potentially go into the salad course of a vegan Chinese meal, and includes the sea vegetable (nori) that is pretty common in many traditional Chinese and other Asian meals. Check out the instructions for putting this awesome wrap together at Raw Foods For Truth . (Go for the recipe, stay to browse all their other salivatory images like this one.)
2. VEGAN WONTON SOUP
Who doesn't love the taste and mouth textures of Wonton Soup? But are those won ton noodles vegan when they are advertised as "vegetarian"? Hmm. How about make everything-- noodles and soup-- from scratch with a simple noodle recipe and a mouth-watering soup? The soup is impressive, Darling! Your wontons will be winners! And all done with such kindness, thanks to the recipe (and images) at Spoons Of Flavor.com
3. SWEET AND SOUR CAULIFLOWER
There are any number of chop-suey-style recipes you can adapt to your vegan feast, but this sweet and sour cauliflower image (and recipe) from Kirbie's Cravings website really caught my eye.
4. VEGAN BATTERED CAULIFLOWER DIPPED IN VEGAN HONEY-SESAME-GARLIC SAUCE
Happy Chinese New Year, darling!
Doesn't this delightful image (recipe and image from MARY'S TEST KITCHEN website) take you back to those wonderful meals that were more than the backstory to a great romance or family gathering? And there are other delicious similar recipes at the same great site. (Caution: There are many alluring images of Honey Garlic Cauliflower recipes online, but most of them include eggs to bake on the sauce-- no, no, darling! Give those little chickens a chance and eat plant-strong!)
5. DESSERT: VEGAN 'EGG' TART
Here is a great video tutorial on making the yummy 'egg' tart (without any eggs) from East Meets West
I agree that the pie shells have a sort of scary complexity for those of us who have NEVER been great pastry chefs. However, if you watch this a few times you will pick up the tips and with a little confidence and the right instruction, you will be able to make this incredibly flakey VEGAN pastry. Anyone who loved the traditional egg tarts will be sooooo grateful for this addition to your vegan feast! (YT Etiquette: If you do make the tarts, please be sure to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to enjoy more of this chef's great instructional videos)
However, I also find that fresh lychee fruit can't be beat for the perfect light dessert after a great vegan Chinese meal.
