The Vegan Asian Kitchen

100+ Plant-Based Recipes Inspired by Malaysia, China, Thailand, and Beyond

by Woonheng Chia & Hannah Che (as Told to)

WoonHeng Chia, known for sharing recipes online under the handle @Woon.Heng, grew up in Malaysia, an ethnically diverse country where she was constantly surrounded by an amazing array of East Asian cuisines. From the local markets and coffee shops to the dai chow stir fry joints where she and her loved ones would dine out, WoonHeng's memories of home were shaped by the diverse and delicious flavours all around her. When she embraced a plant-based diet, she was inspired to master vegan versions of dishes from dim sum and noodle stir fries to endlessly creative tofu and mushroom recipes. The Vegan Asian Kitchen is a comprehensive and loving look at the naturally plant-forward dishes of East Asia, as well as some of WoonHeng's own creations and favourite culinary memories. Packed with delicious recipes such as nasi lemak, sweet-and-sour 'pork,' crispy-bottom potstickers, eggplant unagi rice bowls, and silky mapo tofu, The Vegan Asian Kitchen showcases crave-worthy plant-based cooking. WoonHeng also shares Malaysia street food treasures such as roti canai and Thai favourites like drunken noodles. She also transforms mushrooms into the popular Hainanese 'chicken' rice and offers homecooked dishes inspired by her mothers, alongside touching family stories and insights on Malaysian and Chinese cultural traditions. Including a guide to key pantry ingredients like noodles and specialty greens, and a must-have basics chapter for making condiments like Sambal and Chili Oil at home, this cookbook is what every reader needs to satisfy their cravings for the spicy, savoury, tangy flavours of East Asian cooking.
