In recent years, veganism has been spreading around the World. We can know from the Internet that many restaurants have added many vegan items on their menus, designed a separate vegan menu, or some of them have even turned the entire menu vegan, which attracts many vegan eaters to visit and try them out. So, I am going to share how to turn dishes with animal ingredients into vegan dishes.
Based on my 15 years of vegetarian & vegan life, and my experiences gained and builtup from working in vegan restaurants, I have summarised the following alternatives:
Ingredients
Cow's milk can be replaced with coconut milk, soy milk, and other plant-based milks.
Dairy whipped-cream can be replaced with vegan whipped-creams, and pure plantbased whipped-creams.
Fried eggs can be replaced with vegan egg substitutes, or tofu skin.
Fish can be replaced with my vegan fish recipe P.122 - made with tofu skin wrapped in seaweed.
Red meat can be replaced with soy bean products.
Chicken can be replaced with monkey head mushrooms or oyster mushrooms.
Lard can be replaced with grapeseed oil, olive oil, rice bran oil, sesame oil, or other pure plant-based oils.
Dairy butter can be replaced with vegan butter.
Honey can be replaced with agave syrup, palm sugar, barley malt syrup, stevia, or maple syrup.
Dairy cheese can be replaced with vegan cheese.
Dairy yogurt can be replaced with soy yogurt.
Eels can be replaced with vegan eels - made from aubergine and vegan soy sauce.
Meat broths can be replaced with broths made with vegetables, soy milk, nuts, seaweeds, and tomatoes.
Seafood can be replaced with king oyster mushroom and other fungi.
Condiments
Oyster sauce and some soy sauces contain shellfish – they can be replaced with vegan oyster sauce, black bean soy sauce or natural soy sauces.
Barbecue sauce can be replaced with vegan barbecue sauce.
Chicken powder seasoning can be replaced with mushroom and vegetable seasoning powders.
Non-vegan alcohol can be replaced with vegan beer or vegan wine.
White sugar can be replaced with brown sugar, black sugar, cane sugar, coconut sugar, agave nectar, or other natural sugars.
Homemade orange sauce ingredients: 1 tsp water, 2 tsps vinegar, 1 cup fresh orange juice, 3 tbsps rock sugar
Method:
1 Slice Monkey Head Mushroom into small pieces.
2 After peeling the orange, cut into small pieces and set aside.
3 Coat the Monkey Head Mushrooms with corn starch, fry untill crispy with a golden colour, and remove excess oil with a paper towel.
4 Mix water, white vinegar, fresh orange juice, orange, rock sugar, and salt into the pot, cook until boiled, then add Monkey Head Mushrooms and stir together. They are now ready to eat.
Since we became friends a few years ago, Jennifer has become my ultimate vegan food buddy in HongKong. I've never met anyone so passionate about vegan food, and interested in trying new restaurants, as her. Whenever we meet each other, we spend most of our time talking about vegan food, taking photos, and trying new restaurants. We also enjoy travelling together to new destinations, for example Thailand, where we can experience many different vegan restaurants. When she told me she was putting together a cookbook, I was beyond excited. Jennifer is one of those people who puts love, care, and passion into everything she creates. I learned how to make Molten Lava Cakes and Hong Kong Style Egg Tarts in her baking studio, explored the vegan scene in Chiang Mai with her. Here in Hong Kong, I invited her to the school where I teach, to share some of her custom-made desserts with my secondary school students; they absolutely loved them! If you're looking for recipes that feature quality ingredients, are super healthy, and are completely cruelty-free, you've come to the right place. I hope you enjoy not only the delicious food you will create, but also all the effort that was made into putting this collection together. It's people like Jennifer who are making amazing strides in building a vegan world.
I am So Sum and have been on an almost vegan diet for about 20 years. Since I have a sweet tooth, I have always wished to be able to make and taste vegan sweets. Cakes are my favourite food. Twenty years ago, the vegan population in Asian countries was very small. So, finding vegan cakes and desserts was difficult! I was so lucky to meet Jennifer, who immediately became my idol! Since then, it has become a must to request Jennifer to make me vegan cakes for every birthday and party. Her Dark Chocolate Agave Nectar Cake is my favourite. Since we have a diabetic family member, and my mother loves bitter chocolate, I am very grateful that Jennifer is willing to design a vegan cake recipe that is also suitable for people with diabetes. What I admire most about Jennifer, is her enthusiasm in promoting vegan desserts and veganism itself. I always see her sharing vegan food from around the world on Facebook, as she travels to different places. She writes comments on the food photos, which not only broaden my horizons, but also give me lots of new knowledge about new vegan places and new vegan dishes. It is truly my blessing to have met her on my path of veganism.

Foreword 3
Once upon a time, out of nowhere, Jennifer sent me a message on Facebook, asking me whether she could make me some vegan cakes to try. It's not usual to receive such a kind gesture from a complete stranger online. This alone showed me her enthusiasm about making customised vegan cakes, and sharing her joys of such deliciousness, even with those she didn't know. My family and I soon became fans of her work. The fact that we were able to savour healthy dairyfree cakes, personalise them with the flavours we wanted, and to even have them sugar-free, was perfect for my diabetic grandmother, and for our other health-conscious family members. After meeting Jennifer a few times, we became good friends. We would sometimes dine out together, seeking new vegan options around town. I'm personally lazy to explore new food places. I would rather stick to restaurants close by where I live, rather than do what Jennifer does, which is really to go around every part of Hong Kong, sharing information about each and every vegan restaurant out there. She really is the definition of a passionate vegan dessert chef. I wish her all the best in whatever comes her way, and I am super-excited to see this knowledgeable vegan-based book she is finally publishing.

I am looking forward to Jennifer's book, and I am very happy for her. Her focus on veganism comes deep from her heart. She is someone so innocent and unpretentious —it is not easy to promote veganism in a place such as Hong Kong. I like her persistence, and her spirit of continuous learning. She even goes looking for delicious vegan foods in other parts of the world. This book is filled with useful information. It will significantly help people who are starting to have vegan food. They will be able to enter the vivid world of veganism, without having to word hard, as Jennifer has walked those miles for us.

I admire Jennifer very much. As a youngster, she is genuine, passionate, enthusiastic, curious, and progressive in her promotion of veganism. World Peace starts from every individual, and the simplest thing which everyone can do, is help through their choices of how and what to eat. Veganism (or a plant-based diet) is an example of a peaceful diet. At the same time, it includes wholefoods, and raw foods as much as possible. That is the real key to health. Within an array of gourmet desserts, there are always a number of devils: eggs, dairy, white sugar, and additives. Fortunately, we have Jennifer, who pays much effort in designing and creating vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, and raw dessert recipes. This allows us to indulge in a peaceful diet at social events, without losing the tastiness, and with healthy elements. In addition to your dietary choices, your individual health, environmentalism, and ecological living, are all important aspects of life. Thank you, Jennifer, for sharing vegan life tips in your book, and for providing us with a shortcut to veganism. Thank you also, for contributing to World Peace, and to ecological balance. And even more, thank you to everyone who has chosen to live as a vegan.
