Vegan Asian Recipes

Authentic flavors from across Asia, reimagined for plant-based cooking

Why Vegan Asian Cuisine?

Asian cuisines are naturally rich in plant-based options, from Buddhist temple cooking to everyday stir-fries. Many traditional dishes like tofu, tempeh, and seitan originated in Asia, making vegan adaptations feel authentic rather than restrictive. The bold flavors of soy sauce, miso, ginger, and sesame create deeply satisfying meals without any animal products.

Asian Cooking Tips & Tricks

Master Wok Cooking

Get your wok smoking hot before adding oil. Cook in small batches to maintain high heat - overcrowding creates steam instead of sear.

Build Umami Layers

Combine soy sauce, miso, nutritional yeast, and mushrooms for deep umami flavor. A splash of rice vinegar adds brightness.

Press Your Tofu

Press extra-firm tofu for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) for crispy results. Freeze and thaw tofu for a chewier, more absorbent texture.

Mise en Place is Essential

Asian cooking goes fast! Have all ingredients prepped and sauces mixed before you start cooking - there's no time to chop once the wok is hot.
