Vegan Peipa Tofu (Chinese Fried Tofu Ballls)
Peipa Tofu (or Pipa Tofu) is a classic Chinese dish of Fried Tofu Balls. This tofu recipe is definitely one to keep in your back pocket! It’s a crowd pleaser and is one of those recipes that might even convert the fussiest of eaters and can satisfy anyone. My version has a enoki mushroom sauce […]
Chinese Shredded Potato Stir Fry (黑椒土豆丝)
I absolutely love this method of cooking potatoes! I distinctly remember the first time eating this as a kid and being so heckin’ mind-blown! Potato can be CRUNCHY?!! Not like crunchy fries, but the actual potato strands themselves are crunchy even though they’re cooked, and still full of potato flavour. The first time I […]
Vegan Sweet and Sour Popcorn Chicken
Vegan Sweet and Sour…. Popcorn Chick’n? Yep! A twist on a Chinese classic! I used Vegan Fried Chick’n’s Popcorn Chick’n for this recipe and it turned out AMAZING. You could definitely make the sauce and use it to coat deep fried tofu or other vegan proteins too, my advice would definitely be to choose something […]
Sticky Garlic Eggplant 红烧茄子

Vegan Tomato and Egg Stir Fry

Vegan San Choy Bow (生菜包)

The water chestnuts are the key ingredient to any good san choy bow, giving that signature little extra bit of crunchiness amongst the savoury mince. For this recipe I’m using TVP but […]
Vegan Peking Duck Pancakes (春饼)
Peking Duck pancakes were a highlight of my childhood. On anyone’s birthday we’d order Peking Duck at our favourite Chinese Restaurant in Eastwood and my Dad would always save me the crispiest piece of duck. Now I’m vegan and I’m so glad that Peking Duck pancakes are not only one of the easiest things to […]
