Love vegetables like never before!

Chinese Style Eggplant with Garlic Dressing

QUICK DISH / VEGAN / VEGETERIAN / GLUTEN-FREE

Steamed eggplant (aubergine) has a very delicate texture, and easy to prepare. Hand tearing the eggplant is preferred to knife cutting, as hand tearing tend to help the vegetable hold moisture better when cooked. This dish can be served warm or cold and with several popular options for the dressing.

Spinach, Quinoa and Tahini Salad

QUICK DISH / VEGAN / VEGETARIAN / GLUTEN-FREE

Spinach, quinoa and tahini salad

Spinach and tahini (sesame paste) salad is a Chinese classic side dish and a great way to enjoy fresh spinach in meaningful quantities. I added a small amount of quinoa to the classic mix to make a quick lunch – a seemingly small package when presented at the table, yet surprisingly filling and nutritious. The spinach is beautifully green, and juicy and sweet to bite – always my favorite way to enjoy this wonderful vegetable!

Tofu and Spring Onion Salad

VEGAN / GLUTEN-FREE / QUICK DISH

Tofu and spring green onions salad

Although tofu dishes are usually cooked, fresh raw tofu and spring onion salad makes a popular appetizer in many parts of China. Fresh raw tofu has a silky texture and a subtle fragrance; spring onions and sesame oil bring out the best of those qualities. This is perhaps also one of the easiest salads you will ever make.
