Vegetarian Cooking Class in Ubud — Full Plant-Based Menu 2026

A vegetarian cooking class in Ubud should mean a full Balinese feast — not watching others cook meat while you get a plate of steamed vegetables. At Tumang Bali, plant-based guests cook a complete menu of traditional dishes using tempeh, tofu, coconut, and spice pastes ground from scratch.

What vegetarians cook in our Ubud class

• Sup Sayur — fragrant vegetable soup with lemongrass and galangal
• Tempe Manis — sweet caramelised tempeh
• Sayur Urap — mixed vegetables tossed in spiced grated coconut
• Sate Tempe — tempeh skewers with peanut sauce
• Tofu Pepes — steamed tofu and mushrooms in banana leaf
• Kare Tahu — mild coconut curry with tofu
• Nasi Kuning — turmeric coconut rice
• Sambal Matah — raw shallot-chili salsa (vegan version without shrimp paste)
• Dadar Gulung — pandan coconut crepes for dessert

Vegetarian vs vegan at Tumang Bali

Vegetarian guests get the full plant-based menu by default. Vegans: tell us at booking and we remove shrimp paste, eggs (where used), and honey. See our vegetarian cooking class landing page for inclusions and booking, or read the broader vegetarian eating guide for Ubud. Need wheat-free or pork-free rather than vegetarian? See gluten-free cooking class Ubud and halal cooking class Ubud.
