Losing the meat in vegan Chinese dishes

As I said, some of these recipes are vegan by default, but some of them take seasoning/sauce usually used with meat and apply it to a vegan substitute. This is where cauliflower often comes in! It is worth noting that cauliflower is a super useful ingredient, in many vegan, keto, and gluten-free recipes. Its bland flavour means that it is a great canvas for many other flavours. Furthermore, being low in calories, low in carbs, high in fibre, and a great source of antioxidants, means the health benefits of cauliflower are numerous! Try this vegan hoisin duck recipe using cauliflower! Crazy, right? With this compilation of recipes, you can enjoy DELICIOUS homemade vegan Chinese dishes which equal (or better!) any take-out!
