I've mastered Indian cuisine (northern, I have no interest in southern I don't really care for coconut or curry leaves or any number of their other ingrediants also the having to eat it with the hands is extremely off putting) so I'm looking into learning Chinese.
How do I learn Chinese cuisine? Is there enough of a vegan tradition to make it a worthwhile endeavor? The list of ingredients seems overwhelming.
Ah, the subtle troll thread.

>vegan
I can see why people would assume this is a troll thread, since to master Indian cuisine you have to cook with meat, since that's about a third of what they cook.
But to answer your question, yes, Chinese cuisine is accessible to vegans. Over half of what they eat is vegetable matter, and it's just a question of spices, sauces, and combinations thereof. Obviously many of their sauces are not vegan, due to containing fish or fermented animal products, but things like five spice powder are vegan, as far as I know. But again, you will never achieve "master" of this either because denying the meat portion of the diet/cuisine is to shoehorn yourself into a corner whereby you cannot achieve mastery because you do not know how to cook all that the cuisine has to offer. Whereas someone like me, who can, will be better at it than someone like you, who cannot, and is more fit to claim mastery, since my ability to cook meat does not detract from my ability to cook vegetable dishes.

Growing up, my best friend was Punjabi and his family owned an Indian restaurant that was very well regarded in our area as fine dining.
I spent a lot of time in that kitchen. You are full of shit.

arent most hindu people vegetarian?
>>7555934
>vegetarian
that's a weird way to spell "disgusting"
>>7555934
about half of them are (they drink milk though). hinduism is 80% of India, there's too many Indian dishes that use meat for all of them to be vegetarian

putting punjbi ''''food'''' into a decorative bowl doesn't make it fine dining

Call an Indian a paki, it's almost as good as calling a Cuban a Mexican
I'm slowly but surely giving up on this shit board
Literally one single serious reply to the question of "how to get into <other culture> food"
I visited China recently and discovered that the Chinese food I had been eating here is nowhere near to what they actually eat in China, and most Chinese recipes on the interwebs are westernized crap
But yea, thanks /ck/, go on discussing cooking pet peeves, top 3 fast food, and what the best instant noodles are
>lost the game

India isn't homogenous so it's not like its absurd that entirely different people only loosely connected by the idea of "Bharat" hate each other.
Also.
>"mastering" a cuisine
Not a chance someone who shitposts on 4chins can do that.
>>7555171

My Hindu family eats everything but beef because cows are sacred. Fucking savages. I'm glad I was raised by whites.

Awww..there there...maybe you should stick to the reddit nursery, 4chump too mean and horrible for you.
>>7556523
and they better be "master" recipes
>>7556569
>mean and terrible
>go to reddit
Yes yes anon you are the rly tough anon that rulz the interwebs
The banter on ck is the lightest on the whole of 4chins, but it's just so much bullshit besides the actual topic and point of the board that it makes it even worse
South Indian food isn't really that heavy on coconut. The coastal cuisines are of course but in general people assume south Indian food has way more coconut than it actually does.
As for Chinese go about it the same way you imagined yourself going about Indian. Pick a region and "master" it. Schezuan would probably be your best bet.

Americans think "not America" is a country and everyone looks, talks, thinks, and eats the same in "not America".
