Food Empowerment Project Releases Vegan Chinese Food Booklet For Lunar New Year

SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA — Food Empowerment Project (F.E.P.), a vegan food justice organization, is excited to announce its new Vegan Chinese Food booklet to commemorate the Lunar New Year! The beautifully designed booklet celebrates the Year of the Dragon with its striking design, encapsulating the sacred symbolism the iconic mythical creature represents in the Chinese community.

The 48-page booklet features several veganized Chinese recipes, including tofu dishes, soups, spring rolls, rice recipes, and appetizers! Indulge in mouthwatering dishes like Chinese Potato Gnocchi, Vegan “Beef” Curry Puffs, and Ma Po Tofu for a deep, savory taste. To partake in the year of the dragon, go for the celebrated Mooncake recipe! This sweet bun is infused with red yeast rice, turmeric, and rose oil. F.E.P.’s newest recipe booklet provides cooking inspiration for all vegans, non-vegans, and veg-curious foodies alike.

“In Chinese mythology, the dragon represents empowerment and health,” said Jessian Choy, F.E.P. board member. “What a perfect way to commemorate the Year of the Dragon than by learning about the power of your food choices that are good for you, your well-being, the environment, and the animals!”

The launch of Vegan Chinese Food recipe booklet highlights Chinese foods that do not include animal ingredients and shows it’s possible to eat vegan and still incorporate our comfort foods.
 
Jessian shared, “Creating these recipes reunited me with family and traditions I felt disconnected from. It also meant a lot to me to share vegan recipes that match F.E.P.’s mission to create a more compassionate society for animals and show others that they can still eat delicious vegan food without compromising their culture.”
 
The booklet is more than a recipe guide—it’s also a tool to help readers do what F.E.P. likes to call “eat their ethics.” Readers can learn more about ethical veganism, eating on a budget, Western imperialism’s push on dairy, and more.
