Asian cuisine is renowned for its rich variety of vegetarian dishes, a feature that goes back to ancient culinary traditions and practices. Historically, in many parts of Asia, an abundance of meat was a luxury, and consequently much of the daily diet was based on plant products.
A wide range of ingredients
Asian cuisines take advantage of a wide range of plant-based ingredients such as tofu, tempeh, various types of mushrooms, leafy vegetables, roots, and grains like rice and noodles. These ingredients are used to create tasty, nutritious dishes.
Cooking methods
