Cook with UnTour Cookbook
The Cook with UnTour digital cookbook brings 25 legendary dishes into your home for you to recreate the flavors of our tours in China. The cookbook is a labor of love that was written by our guides, vendors, and admin staff, who all pitched in to provide their tried-and-true favorite recipes that can easily be made at home, and included a section on how to stock your Chinese pantry and season your wok.
More than half the recipes are vegetarian (or vegetarian-adaptable) and we’ve included recipes with easy-to-find ingredients, so you can raid your pantry instead of your local store. For any harder-to-find ingredients, we’ve linked to online sources so you can order them in.
The Cook with UnTour cookbook includes:
- How to season a wok
- Stocking a Chinese pantry
- DIY chili oil
- Our top noodle recipes
- Dipping sauces
- Dumplings galore!
- Make the famed jianbing at home
- Local desserts
- Plenty of vegetarian options
- Classic tomato & egg soup

We haven't had an international tourist on a tour since Jan 2020. And the number of expats in China is dwindling. You’ll be helping us make it through China's most recent lockdown, so we can go on to lead tours for years to come.
