This is an old class! Check out the current classes, or sign up for our mailing list to see if we'll offer this one again.

This class might be over, but get first dibs on new sessions and brand-new classes by signing up on our ultra-rad mailing list.

Join us in this fun hands-on virtual class, where you'll learn easy cooking techniques for creating delicious plant-based Chinese meals.

Chinese cuisine has many dishes that are vegan-friendly or easily adaptable for the vegan diet. We'll discuss how to shop for pantry staples, including the best brands to buy and finding healthy substitutes for standard ingredients. We'll also touch briefly on vegetarian and vegan traditions in China, and go over how to adapt your cooking to each season.

We'll cook two Chinese vegan dishes together in class, one traditional and one vegan take on a restaurant favorite:

  • Yunnan-Style Sweet and Sour Tomato Salad
  • General Tso's Cauliflower and Tofu
And don't worry if you don't have access to specialty ingredients; ingredients we use in the class can be purchased in most supermarkets. I'll send out an ingredient list about 1 week before class with suggestions for substitutions if you can't find certain ingredients.
