Wok cookbook recommendations?

[pastryani]

What's the best wok cookbook for vegetarian cooking? (No meat or seafood). Grace Young seems to have several but they all seem rather "meaty".

Most books on Chinese wok cookery will be meat heavy. True vegetarianism is rare in China. Many vegetable dishes are cooked in lard (pig fat) to 'improve the flavour' (see here).

There are however a couple of vegetarian Chinese books out there. Try Florence Lin's "Chinese Vegetarian Cooking."

I don't have a copy now, but I remember it was reasonably good. Not exclusively wok cooking, though.

”Wok Wisely: Chinese Vegetarian Cooking" also looks interesting, but I haven't read it.
