Vegetarian Viet Nam

Spicy, tangy, crunchy, and sweet, the dishes in this cookbook range from soups and noodle bowls to main courses with rice and stir-fried vegetables, as well as desserts and fruit drinks. Some recipes are naturally vegetarian while others draw on the full arsenal of Vietnamese herbs, spices, and sauces to make tofu and mushrooms as juicy as any meat filling. Includes a fully illustrated glossary to help readers assemble their own vegetarian Vietnamese pantry.
