Craving the vibrant, bold flavors of East and Southeast Asian cooking-without the meat?
For too long, plant-based cooks exploring Asian cuisine have faced a frustrating dilemma: settle for bland, watery vegetable sides or rely on heavy, ultra-processed meat imitations that miss the real spirit of the dish. Plant-Forward Asia changes that by putting real vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, and pantry aromatics center stage.
Across 130 kitchen-tested vegetarian and vegan recipes, home cook and food enthusiast Tanya Lisbon reveals how to extract rich umami, control rapid wok heat, and simmer rich, fragrant curries using practical pantry staples.
Inside this collection, you'll discover:
- The Searing Power of the Wok: Master dishes like Plant-Based Sichuan Mapo Tofu, blistered green beans, and wok-charred greens that stay crisp and vibrant instead of turning soggy.
- Soul-Warming Noodle Bowls: Build deep, aromatic broths for Plant-Forward Pho, slurp-worthy Miso Coconut Ramen, and stir-fried street staples like Pad Thai and Vegan Char Kway Teow.
- Fragrant Simmered Curries: Create velvety gravies from scratch-from classic Thai Green Curry and earthy Massaman to slow-reduced Jackfruit Rendang and hearty Malaysian Vegetable Dalcha.
- Handcrafted Dim Sum & Street Snacks: Learn simple folding and steaming techniques for Cabbage & Shiitake Potstickers, fluffy Char Siu Bao, crispy vegetable tempura, and scallion pancakes.
- Claypot & Rice Comforts: Savor crackling crispy-bottom claypot rice, nourishing ginger congee, and fragrant garlic-fried rice bowls.
Cook With Total Confidence:
- Dual Measurements Included: Every recipe provides both standard US Customary (cups, spoons) and Metric (grams, milliliters) measurements for foolproof kitchen precision.
- Clear Nutritional Info: Estimated per-serving calorie and macronutrient breakdowns (protein, carbs, fat) are clearly listed with each dish.
- The Signature Swap Guarantee: Can't find an authentic ingredient like doubanjiang, lotus root, or Makrut lime leaves? Every single recipe includes an easy-to-find grocery store alternative that preserves the integrity of the dish.
Whether you follow a strict vegan lifestyle, cook for a vegetarian family member, or just want to bring fresh, restaurant-worthy plant-forward meals to your dinner table, this book is your practical roadmap.
