Vegan Fried Chicken/Vegan Chicken Nuggets (Gluten-Free)

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:22:21 -0400

I served these to some non-vegan friends (one of whom "hates tofu") and they seemed to really like them. Based on a recipe from vegweb.com. The original called for crushed cornflakes, but when I went to make this, somebody had eaten all my cornflakes so I used Lay's Baked Potato Chips instead. I like the salty taste of the chips better than the sweet of the cornflakes, but feel free to used crushed anything here and add other seasonings to your heart's content. You can find vegetarian chicken bouillon at your local health food store. -- posted by Prose

Buffalo Tofu Wrap

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:04:50 -0400

One of the dining halls at my university is well known for their delicious weekly buffalo chicken wraps. It's become an event we call Buffalo Chicken Wednesday. I'm a vegetarian, so I would ask for everything but the chicken and order a veggie burger to put in instead. They must have caught on to this because they started offering buffalo tofu wraps along with the chicken. Here's my recipe for wraps that I make at home. Enjoy! -- posted by BB2011

My Favourite Tofu Recipe

Sun, 29 Mar 2009 20:40:21 -0400

I was 13 when I became a vegetarian. At the time, my mother and I concocted this recipe. Today, it is still my favourite way to eat tofu, and my favoured recipe for introducing tofu to sceptics. You can adjust vegetables to your family's taste. -- posted by Génial Génie

Miso-Garlic Broiled Eggplant

Mon, 30 Mar 2009 17:38:21 -0400

Every year I plant Japanese eggplant in my garden... my favorite way to eat it is simply grilled, then sliced with soy sauce and ground roasted sesame seeds. I was overwhelmed with eggplant last season, and had to "branch" out to other methods. This is a recipe my Japanese mom taught me. Make subsitutions at your own risk! :) I can only tell you this is great as written!!! -- posted by kittycatmom

Hoisin Tofu With Vegetables

Lemony Baked Tofu

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 02:01:34 -0400

Yummy as a snack, sandwich filling, or topping for salads! It's got lots of flavor and holds it's shape well. A choice is given for two very different but equally inviting marinades. Be sure not to use an aluminum baking pan! Use the smallest baking pan you have that will hold the tofu in a single layer. An 8" square pan and a 7x9" pan both work fine. Adapted from Moosewood Restaurant New Classics cookbook. -- posted by Sharon123

Japanese Mom's Tofu Stir-Fry

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:46:23 -0400

My Mom NEVER buys extra firm tofu, just doesn't like the texture. One day (about 20 years ago) she bought extra firm by mistake. She didn't want to go back to the store, and didn't want to waste perfectly good food, so she came up with this recipe that has become a favorite for me. Now, she occassionally buys extra firm tofu on purpose! I love this and make it often when I want a simple quick lunch or supper. -- posted by kittycatmom

Tofu Nuggets

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 14:33:57 -0400

These tasty nuggets are a favorite in our house. This recipe is from the Down To Earth Cookbook by Lacey Sher and Gail Doherty. They are simple to make and can be served hot or cold. We usually eat them with mashed potatoes and gravy. Leftovers can be used in sandwiches with mayonnaise. Prep time includes pressing the tofu for 1/2 hour. Enjoy! -- posted by His daughter

Scrambled Tofu Pasta

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 14:45:44 -0400

This came about when I was preparing some scrambled tofu and remembered that I had a lot of cooked pasta in the fridge so I decided serve the tofu with pasta instead of bread toast. Amounts are approximate as I didn't measure, and cooking time doesn't include time for cooking the pasta. You can vary the recipe by adding other spices, herbs or vegetables; I just used what was at hand. -- posted by Goldcrest

Noodles and Spinach With Tofu

Sat, 02 May 2009 02:48:06 -0400

A little different than some of the other recipes I've read, so I posted. This came from the Buffalo News and is my favorite way to eat tofu. It's important to put the noodles in before the spinach or the spinach with soak up all the sauce. I always add some finely chopped onions to this recipe because I like them, but iIll post the original. It's high in mono and poly-unsaturated fats (good fats), has a bunch of fiber, is a vegan meal, and most importantly, super good! Even my parents, who hate tofu, love this. -- posted by Lindsay!

This is a fairly low-fat, low-calorie, low-carb recipe. It's safe for Phase 2 of the HcG / Simeons / Trudeau protocol. If you want it more natural tasting, switch out the calorie-free sweetener for sugar and the light tofu for regular tofu. -- posted by cooledskin

Baked Jerk Tofu

Wed, 20 May 2009 20:34:59 -0400

Thanks to Moosewood for their version of jerk tofu, which is what this is based on. It calls for baking the tofu - I prefer to grill it on the BBQ. Grilled tofu is so delicious!! You do need to press the tofu beforehand....that 30 minutes is reflected in the prep time, you may also wish to do that well in advance and just leave it sitting in the fridge. I prefer to make this up well in advance and let the pressed tofu sit in marinade as long as possible before cooking. This can be eaten along with a variety of side dishes or salads, with a little fruit salsa or dip. Or just eat it cold the next day, it's great for the vegetarian lunch box. -- posted by magpie diner

Clean Eating Edamame Salad

Tue, 26 May 2009 01:31:21 -0400

Entered for safe-keeping. From Clean Eating, May/June 2009. This Japanese salad has a good proportion of protein to carbohydrates for a light lunch, but this will be more filling if served with brown rice. Nanami Togarashi can be found inthe Asian section of a supermarket or health food store, but red pepper flakes can be used as an emergency substitution. -- posted by KateL

Vegetarian Corn Chip Casserole

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 22:41:36 -0400

This recipe came from a cooking show on 3ABN called, "Let's Cook Together." The beauty of it is that it can be converted to non-vegetarian by using hamburger meat. But, the vegetarian version is quite good as well. My family loves both and when we have company who are vegetarians, we do the non-meat version. The prep time for the vegeburger one is less because you don't have to cook the vegeburger first. The hamburger one requires cooking and draining the meat before you proceed. -- posted by OceanLuvinGranny

Scrambled Tortillas

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:12:01 -0400

Delicious and unique vegan recipe. Originally found in Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book Vegan Brunch. I have made a few small changes for personal preference and time factor, easily adaptable you can make lots of changes to this recipe and tailor it to your own tastes! The tofu cooks around the tortillas, soft and chewy, the whole family enjoyed it! Serve with avocado and chopped scallions. I tried to estimate time to water to boil in cook time, might vary by area and stove type etc... -- posted by brokedownrage

Tofu & Spinach Pesto

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 16:12:11 -0400

Tofu and spinach... most people's reaction when they see those words is "Yuck!", but try this and see if your reaction is still the same :) This is an incredibly easy and tasty way to pack the benefits of spinach & the protein content of the tofu to picky eaters. Toss it into your pasta dish, replace tomato sauce on pizza with this, etc. My favourite way to eat is is spread on fresh bread. The measurements make it really easy to remember the recipe and you only need to use 1 measuring cup! I recommend you use firm tofu rather than silky because it is more nutritious. Make it ahead and have pesto on hand whenever you want it!!! -- posted by Génial Génie

Daikon 'fettuccine' With Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 11:23:10 -0400

I got this recipe from "The Vegetarian Low-Carb Diet" book by Rose Elliott. Description from book: Cyndi's Vegan Alfredo Sauce, which I've adapted just slightly by using almonds instead of cashews, is wonderful: really creamy and delicious, and packed with protein. It's great with vegetable 'pasta' and I also like it with Roasted Vegetables and Roasted Cauliflower with Lemon. You can use it whenever you want to add some extra protein to a meal. If you can get daikon (a long, white radish), it makes lovely 'fettuccine' and is very low in carbs - but you can also use courgettes, turnips or kohlrabi, for varying, slightly higher carb counts. -- posted by JoshH347

Ally's Quick and Easy Vegetarian Sweet and Sour Chicken

Thu, 09 Jul 2009 17:10:27 -0400

I made this for my 16 year old sister Ally, who only weighs 80 pounds and has decided to become a vegetarian. Thank god I'm resourceful when it comes to cooking. This is a quick and easy way to get her to eat something that she used to love in her pre-veggie days. This will probably taste better and be healthier if it was made from scratch but since I have yet to cook with tofu, this will have to do. I'll make an addendum when I experiment some more. Brands names are key to cooking this. -- posted by Chef Mallory

Grilled Spicy Asian Tofu

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 17:13:50 -0400

This is really good - no leftovers, even carnivorous children went back for seconds. The marinade provides subtle heat while the teriyaki glaze is sweet & smoky. Serve with Asian Grilled Vegetables (search for the recipe) and steamed rice or udon noodles. I use Sriracha Sauce for the marinade - green top, rooster on the bottle - stuff is the best and HOT! I use Kikkoman "Takumi Collection Spicy Miso " Teriyaki sauce to baste. Really good.... -- posted by ChandraSoleil

I recreated it to the best of my memory using tofu. The marinade also makes great baked tofu. Adjust the pepper to your taste. I usually double this recipe because we love it so much. -- posted by PDX CakeGirl

Rosemary Rice Roll-Ups

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 23:57:34 -0400

Tofu sheets (also known as yuba or bean-curd/tofu skin) can be easily found in most Asian markets, in the refrigerated section - usually next to the tofu. They could probably be replaced by won-ton wrappers or other similar sheet. I recommend cooking the rice in advance, so you don't have to wait for it to cool. Very nice with a yogourt or sour cream based dip (ex. tzatziki). -- posted by Génial Génie

Vegetarian Croque Monsieur (Gourmet Grilled Cheese W/ Tofu Ham)

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:18:23 -0400

For those who don't like meat but want a totally rich French sandwich. French food was made for primarily meat lovers but I vegi-fied this classic. This is the ultimate French comfort food. (Served with a side salad instead of fries so I don't feel as guilty, haha.) Definitely not vegan friendly because I don't think soy butter and soy cheese could do this right, but you're welcome to try it as such. A great sandwich to have on a rainy day curled up with a good book. IMPORTANT NOTE: Nutritional info is inaccurate because I had to use real ham as an ingredient input or else the recipe wouldn't submit, says that "tofu sandwich slices" (and many other variations I typed) are not recognized in the database. Overall fat and calories are really lower than shown, unless you're a meat lover using real ham. I use Smart Deli brand ham-flavored tofu sandwich slices, they're really thin which is why I use 6 pieces. It didn't recognize as an ingredient but it should because tofu slices are central to many vegetarian and vegan recipes. -- posted by the80srule

This recipe came into being one night when trying to use up the last of my somen. Easy and quick to fix, very little clean up time too! For those that don't like tofu, use a firm tofu that has been frozen at least 24hrs and then thawed (this will give the tofu a more "chewy/meaty" texture). Also, if you don't have chili oil, use a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper instead. -- posted by blueyedwineaux

Vegetarian Nut Roast

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 11:22:55 -0500

I found this recipe on the internet when trying to find something yummy I could make for myself over the Christmas period, as I don't eat meat. What I love about this is that no bread crumbs are used; tofu is used instead. And the addition of the chillis give a nice bit of heat. Just don't judge this recipe on what the roast looks like BEFORE cooking; it's not a pretty sight. But the taste is amazing. Warning: don't let the meat-eaters get hold of this or you just may have to share! -- posted by The Hungry Mouse

Vegetarian Tourtiere

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 07:01:28 -0500

Vegetarian Tourtiere By The Canadian Living Test Kitchen I was serving tourtiere for Christmas this year and didn't want DD to be left out. This is the version I made for her. I've included the recipe for a delicious sounding crust but I cheated and used a commercial pie crust. It uses TVP, or textured vegetable protein, which is a dried soy product available in granules or chunks that, when cooked, resemble the texture of ground meat. Look for it in the health food section of grocery stores. -- posted by Dreamer in Ontario

Baked Pasta With Tofu Cheese (Vegan)

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 01:57:16 -0500

More vegan comfort food! I modified this recipe from the Whole Foods Web site. In place of (or in addition to) the mushrooms try black olives, vegetarian pepperoni slices, bell peppers, artichoke hearts...whatever you wish. Works well with gluten-free pasta. Serve with salad and garlic bread. -- posted by Prose

Vietnamese-Style Tempeh With Lemongrass and Cilantro

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 14:28:42 -0500

This is from Robin Robertson's 'Rice & Spice'. Haven't tried this yet but it looks delish. Personally, I like to steam or boil tempeh for 10 minutes before using it in a recipe. The original recipe calls for using vegetarian 'fish sauce' or soy sauce. -- posted by VegSocialWorker

Tofu Lettuce Wraps

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:10:39 -0500

So similar to a family favorite, Lali's "PF Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps", that my family was more than happy to eat tofu -- always a good sign! IMPORTANT: To prepare tofu to receive the marinade, it must be drained, then pressed (between two plates, with a weighted object on top) for about 30 minutes, flipping it over and draining the water off the plate halfway through. The more water you get out of it, the more marinade it'll soak up and the tastier it'll be! -- posted by Alexander Mar

Chinese Bourbon Tofu

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:43:45 -0500

Derived from LinMarie's "Bourbon Chicken" recipe, this tofu, fried, cooked in sauce and served over rice, won't disappoint; at the moment its my favorite tofu recipe. IMPORTANT: To prepare the tofu to soak up the marinade, it must be drained and then pressed (between two plates with a weighted object on top) for about 30 minutes, flipping and draining off the water halfway through. The more water you can get out of it, the more marinade it'll soak up and the tastier it'll be! -- posted by Alexander Mar

Tofu Buffalo Wings

Derived from Robbie Rice's "Hooter's Buffalo Wings. I've been a vegetarian since my early teens, but to this day I still miss BBQ chicken and wings. Well, no longer! IMPORTANT: To prepare tofu to receive marinade, it must be drained and pressed (between two plates, with a weighted object on top) for about 30 minutes, flipping and draining halfway through. The more water you can get out of it, the more marinade it'll soak up and the tastier it'll be. -- posted by Alexander Mar

Cajun Tofu

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 12:12:49 -0500

This was inspired by a recent trip to New Orleans. I wanted something vegetarian, but with Cajun taste & this is what I came up with. It's easy enough for a weeknight dinner, but tastes like you've been cooking a while. You can serve it over rice, pasta or, if you want to be really southern, grits. -- posted by Jeri Roth Lande

Won Tons for Soup - Vegetarian

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 09:55:54 -0500

A vegan adaptation of a Cantonese-American favorite. Not hard to make but takes some time to stuff the wontons. Serve the wontons in a mild, low sodium vegetable broth (chicken flavor if possible). You can double or triple the wontons recipe, lay them out on a cookie sheet, and freeze them, then bag them and take them out to make soup in small quantities. The frozen wontons only take 1 or 2 minutes longer to cook than the fresh. -- posted by Shazzypupp
