From the Publisher

Every Chinese takeaway dish you love — made without the meat.

The best Chinese takeaway dishes — crispy spring rolls, silky mapo tofu, sweet and sour vegetables, egg fried rice, chow mein — are all naturally suited to vegetarian cooking. The meat was never the point. The sauce, the wok heat, the precise balance of soy and acid and sweetness — that is what makes Chinese takeaway food extraordinary. This book collects 50 of the finest vegetarian versions of those dishes, built to taste exactly like the real thing.

50 vegetarian Chinese takeaway recipes — every classic, nothing missing.

Crispy vegetable spring rolls with dipping sauce. Mapo tofu with the full Sichuan pepper heat. Sweet and sour with tofu or mixed vegetables. Egg fried rice done properly. Chow mein with wok breath. Kung pao cauliflower. Salt and pepper tofu. Black bean sauce stir-fry. Dim sum: har gow adapted for vegetables, char siu bao with mushroom filling. Every dish that makes a Chinese takeaway menu worth looking at, made without meat and without compromising on flavour.

Tofu, tempeh, mushrooms, jackfruit — which to use and when.

Not every meat substitute works in every dish. Silken tofu suits mapo tofu. Firm tofu is better for salt and pepper. Oyster mushrooms pull apart like chicken in a stir-fry. King oyster mushrooms make convincing scallops. Jackfruit works in anything braised. This book includes a complete guide to vegetarian protein substitutes in Chinese cooking — which texture to choose for each dish, how to prepare each one so it takes the sauce rather than blocking it, and when to use vegetables alone.

Chinese takeaway sauces — all of them, made from scratch.

Black bean sauce. Sweet and sour. Oyster sauce (vegetarian version). Szechuan sauce. Hoisin. XO sauce made without seafood. Plum sauce. These are the flavour backbone of Chinese takeaway cooking, and every one of them can be made at home in five minutes from pantry staples. This book includes a complete sauce chapter with recipes for every major Chinese takeaway sauce, storage instructions, and notes on which dishes each one suits.

Faster than delivery. Better than the menu. Made in your kitchen tonight.

Chinese takeaway food has a reputation for being too difficult to make at home. That reputation is wrong. Most dishes take thirty minutes or less. The sauces come together in five. The wok technique takes one session to learn and a lifetime to refine, but produces results from the very first attempt. This book is the proof: 50 dishes that taste like the takeaway, made without leaving your kitchen.
