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
Asian cooking methods such as steaming, stir-frying and broiling are ideal for preparing vegetarian dishes. They retain the natural flavor of the ingredients, while adding spices and herbs to enhance the taste.
