The 145 recipes and 139 different vegetables range from small to large dishes, sauces, soups and so much more, such as:

From sugar peas and azuki beans to fern tips, hijiki seaweed, jackfruit and mustard cabbage--this book offers insightful background stories about the ways Asian cultures have traditionally prepared these vegetables as well as a description of their appearance, nutritional content, flavor, selection and storage--plus interesting information about their medicinal properties according to traditional folk beliefs. Fresh, dried, fermented, pickled and preserved Asian vegetables, tubers, herbs, mushrooms and sprouts are all described in detail.
