I’m living in China right now. Many dairy ingredients that I’m used to using when cooking/baking (butter, cream cheese, milk, cheese) are hard to find or fairly expensive. Canned foods like cream of mushroom are also hard to find. Can you suggest some favorite recipes that you can make without these ingredients?

I have a toaster oven, an 8×8 baking pan, a 6-cup muffin tin, and a pot and pan. No blender, electric mixer, or food processor.

I’m looking for main dishes, soups, desserts, casseroles, anything I could make in the toaster oven, authentic Chinese food, etc.

Thanks!
