Based on a recipe from Terry Durack’s book, Noodle. This is a bit of work because of all the vegetable-chopping, but is well worth the effort, as I think this is fantastic! The recipe intro says, “In China, Buddhist monks go to extreme lengths to create vegetarian food that looks, smells, and even tastes like fish or meat. For me, however, the most successful vegetable dishes in the Chinese repertoire are those that look like vegetables. This is based on a classic Buddhist vegetarian dish that manages to satisfy both aesthetically and gastronomically.”
