Vegetarian Chinese Recipes These 20 vegetarian Chinese recipes are my favorite meatless dishes from my kitchen in New York, inspired by the home cooking I grew up with in Beijing. From crispy tofu and peanut noodles to traditional mooncakes, each recipe is tested, simple to make, and full of authentic Chinese flavor.

In honor of Earth Day, we’re excited to introduce you to Glinda, the giant Pacific octopus. It’s good to see her, isn’t it? 🐙

Every animal at our non-profit Aquarium serves as an ambassador for their counterparts in the wild, inspiring guests to learn about and care for the ocean and the animals that call it home. Glinda is already doing her part. 🩷🫧

We’re thrilled to introduce two—yes TWO!—resident otters joining our raft today:

🌬️🍃 Willow’s a tenacious otter who’s never bent to the wind. Though she’s a little shy, this resourceful and inquisitive otter embraces life’s changing tides without getting lost in the current.

🏔️🌊 Suri’s got a big name and a big personality to match! Named after the iconic Big Sur coastline, she’s a bold and confident otter who’s always eager to explore uncharted waters.

This is a full-circle homecoming for Suri and Willow, who were both rescued and rehabilitated here as orphaned pups in 2022. After many adventures together, today Suri and Willow return to us as both charming ambassadors for their species and stellar candidates for our Sea Otter Program.

These otters may one day serve as surrogate mothers to orphaned pups by modeling the skills and behaviors they need for a second chance at life in the wild.

We’re deeply grateful to our fintastic conservation partners at Aquarium of the Pacific and Shedd Aquarium for helping us bring this whiskered and resilient duo home! 🫶
