Buddhist cuisine: Buddhist cuisine is an East Asian cuisine which is followed by monks and many believers from areas historically influenced by Chinese Buddhism.  It is vegetarian or vegan, and it is based on the Dharmic concept of ahimsa (non-violence).  Vegetarianism is common in other Dharmic faiths such as Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism as well as East Asian religions like Taoism.  While monks are vegetarian year-round, many believers follow the Buddhist vegetarian diet temporarily, similar to Christian Lent.

Tianjin preserved vegetable: Tianjin preserved vegetable (; literally "Tianjin winter vegetable"; also called tung tsai (), Tientsin preserved vegetable or Tianjin preserved cabbage) is a type of pickled Chinese cabbage originating in Tianjin, China.  It consists of finely chopped Tianjin cabbage (箭杆菜; a variety of Chinese cabbage with an elongated shape) and salt.

European cuisine: European cuisine, or alternatively Western cuisine, is a generalised term collectively referring to the cuisines of Europe and other Western countries, including (depending on the definition) that of Russia, as well as non-indigenous cuisines of Australasia, the Americas, Southern Africa, and Oceania, which derive substantial influence from European settlers in those regions.  The term is used by East Asians to contrast with Asian styles of cooking.  (This is analogous to Westerners' referring collectively to the cuisines of East Asian countries as Asian cuisine.)  When used by Westerners, the term may sometimes refer more specifically to cuisine "in" Europe; in this context, a synonym is Continental cuisine, especially in British English.

Tahini: Tahini (also tahina or ; Arabic: طحينة‎ ‎ ), also known as Ardeh (Persian: ارده), is a condiment made from toasted ground hulled sesame seeds.

Napa cabbage: Napa or nappa cabbage ("Brassica rapa" subsp.  "pekinensis" or "Brassica rapa" Pekinensis Group) is a type of Chinese cabbage originating near the Beijing region of China, and is widely used in East Asian cuisine.

Red cabbage: The red cabbage (purple-leaved varieties of "Brassica oleracea" Capitata Group) is a kind of cabbage, also known as purple cabbage, red kraut, or blue kraut after preparation.  Its leaves are coloured dark red/purple.  However, the plant changes its colour according to the pH value of the soil, due to a pigment belonging to anthocyanins.  In acidic soils, the leaves grow more reddish, in neutral soils they will grow more purple, while an alkaline soil will produce rather greenish-yellow coloured cabbages.  This explains the fact that the same plant is known by different colours in various regions.  Furthermore, the juice of red cabbage can be used as a home-made pH indicator, turning red in acid and green/yellow in basic solutions.  It can be found in Northern Europe, throughout the Americas, and in China.
