    I love everything that I,m looking at. Especially Siumai dumplings, Orange Tofu, Kung Pao Lentils and Low Mein noodles. Never made dumplings before so I might start there after I get ingredients for next food prep week-end. Today making your Chocolate cake with ganoche layers and topping. I feel like I eat like a queen. 5 Star***** all the way!

    The Kung Pao Lentil recipe was SUPERB! I didn’t even use any oil, I can’t imagine how incredible it is WITH oil!!! I have never made any of your recipes that haven’t been delicious, flavorful, and successful. Thank you Vegan Richa, please keep creating.

    Hi Richa, I’ve just discovered your blog and recipes and they look absolutely awesome. I was just wondering if you are able to note when you can omit oil or replace it with a non-oil type substitute. I am a recent convert to the vegan world and its health benefits but I have also come across a lot of information regarding the dangers in consuming oil (all of them unfortunately!) If I can can live off your recipes minus oil, I will be a very happy chappy! Regards Sidney

      Hi Sidney, I have a post with tips on how to make Indian food without oil. Many of those tips apple to other cuisine recipes as well. https://www.veganricha.com/2016/01/how-to-cook-indian-food-without-oil-oil-free-dal-tadka-recipe.html I cook both ways, with and without and some recipes have oil-free label if they are made without.

    You know your stuff! Don’t you? I am super excited to try all of these! You are a lifesaver for a vegan stranded in Berlin with a really poor selection of Chinese restaurants 🙁 I’ll be looking out for that book too…

    Hi Vegan Richa and thank you so much! I have been creating my own Chinese-inspired recipes. Between house stock, fish sauce, and indifference or communication difficulty on many restaurants’ part, I was unsure any restaurant I tried was making truly vegan food for my family. So, this is really unexpected and a great find!! So many dishes to try. I enjoy your book but thank you as well for all the diverse recipes on FB!

    Chinese New Year did pass already, but that doesn’t give any excuse to NOT enjoy some more Chinese food! I like that there are so many vegan options when it comes to Chinese cuisine. You can make so much and not sacrifice any flavor at all!
