Easy Vegan Ravioli

Thu, 13 Jul 2006 15:22:56 -0400

This is a week day dish that tastes like you had the leisure of the weekend. The won-ton wrappers and ready made sauce make this dish go together quickly if your kitchen is organized and you work quickly. I made this dish after being unsatisfied with the texture and flavor of other vegan recipes we tried. Nothing really satisfied the pasta craving like I wanted. -- posted by vegan_sylph

I got this recipe from my brother. My husband loved it and he won't eat anything that didn't have parents. You may have to adjust the splenda a little or use powdered sugar if you don't like splenda but that adds more calories. Prep time includes refridgeration. -- posted by smelly0610

Smoked Tofu Baked Chimichangas

Fri, 27 Oct 2006 16:55:15 -0400

I saw this recipe on 30 Minute Meals made with smoked turkey. I thought it would be great with smoked tofu and I was right. It's very easy and has been a hit every time I've made it, even with meat-eaters! This recipe is meant for a toaster oven, although I am sure a conventional oven would work. -- posted by Ameliahead

Cd's Famed Tofu-Broccoli Enchiladas

Fri, 03 Nov 2006 15:56:01 -0500

Everyone loves this recipe, even those who think they don't like tofu! I tend to go a little light on the tofu and a little heavy on the cream cheese, and I put some or all of the optional cheddar cheese in the enchiladas as opposed to on top. I recommend light tofu, as it has a lighter flavor as well as being lower in fat. I also tend to process all of the tofu as opposed to half of it. Prep time is an estimate. Sauces are posted separately. From Crescent Dragonwagon's Passionate Vegetarian. -- posted by Ameliahead

Hippie Pepper Chili Stew

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 15:46:06 -0500

My quest to find a good vegetarian chili recipe ended with this. It's a combination of a couple of recipes plus some adjustments and additions of my own. My roommate says it is not chili--more like a stew--but still really good, if only I left out the bell peppers. I don't really measure or time my recipes, so this is a bit approximate. Season with salt and pepper every step or two. It's vegan as long as you don't top with the optional sour cream. -- posted by Ameliahead

The Popular Kids Make Lettuce Wraps

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 23:02:09 -0500

I concocted this handy appetizer by combining ideas from a couple different recipes. The end result was so terrific that my friends (vegetarians and non) were recommending my own dish to me, unbeknownst to them! The tofu soaks up the chili and lime flavors, the veggies stay crunchy and tangy, and the lettuce wraps hold everything in a convenient, portable little package! Chili paste is easily found at an Asian market and it's well worth the hunt. If you can't get your hands on any, substitute with red chili flakes. -- posted by groovyrooby

Vegan Marinated Tofu Wraps W/Chipotle Mayo

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:28:31 -0400

I've been experimenting with wraps lately and this idea seemed really good. And it was! A tip for the mayo: make it the day before and don't add any extra chiles or adobo sauce until the next day after you've tasted it. It gets MUCH hotter after it sits for a day or two. -- posted by tendollarwine

Japanese Noodle Soup

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 21:46:33 -0400

One day I decided I would make a Japanese style meal. So I dug up anything in the kitchen that looked like it could be Japanese or Asian. This soup is the result of my "Japanese" ingredients. I'm really not sure if the ingredients are authentic Japanese ingredients (probably not) but that's as close as I could get. You can substitute vegetable broth for the water and bouillon. -- posted by Le Cuisinier Exquis

Vegan Spinach Dip (Tofu)

Tue, 21 Aug 2007 22:08:39 -0400

I LOVE spinach dip! Healthy alternative and fun way to eat tofu. I was going to make this today before posting this, but ran out of time. I'll give an update once I make it which if I can help it should be very soon! This is another one of my new recipes from Neva & Jim Brackett's 7 Secrets Cookbook to lose weight, lower cholesterol, and reverse diabetes. Cooking time does not include time needed for dip to chill which is 2-3 hours. Update: I know honey isn't vegan which is why I listed or sugar, but I personally don't mind using honey. So, if you want this meal to completely vegan for you, don't use honey. I did try this today and was happy to get that taste I'd been missing. :) -- posted by Enjolinfam

Vegan Breakfast Casserole

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:50:03 -0500

I got the idea for this from a recipe in Vegan Planet, but I tweaked it quite a bit. You can either prepare this the day you eat it, or put it together the night before. If you do that, you'll want to let it come to room temp before baking it. Also, I was going to make some hashbrowns and mix it in with this, but I didn't have time. Just bake a potato, peel it, grate it, fry it in a pan with some veggie oil and layer it on top of the bread. My Chicago Diner gravy recipe goes really well with this. -- posted by tendollarwine

Baked Tempeh

Wed, 12 Dec 2007 00:26:49 -0500

Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food. It is a fermented food made by the controlled fermentation of cooked soybeans with a Rhizopus mold. The tempeh fermentation by the Rhizopus mold binds the soybeans into a compact white cake. People can cook tempeh in a variety of ways, but most Indonesians bake it with a little oil and salt like in this recipe. Tempeh is a great source of protein. -- posted by Chef #683770

This is a very healthy alternative to mayo on sandwiches, cream cheese on bagels, etc. This is fabulous as a pizza or pasta sauce too! I also love putting it on crackers as a healthier and tastier alternative to cheese! Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #589748

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 19:30:56 -0500

This is a simple and extremely flavorful tofu and beef dish that goes well over a bed of rice. The good thing about this recipe is the flexibility in the amount of ingredients needed. If you prefer less meat, go for it. If you prefer more sauce, it's up to you. There are no hard and fast rules, except perhaps not to use too much oyster sauce. -- posted by olivejuice

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 01:52:41 -0400

Recipe from "8 Weeks to Optimal Health" by Dr. Andrew Weil Posted here for safekeeping. Cooking and prep times are approximate. Dr Weil's note: Baked, pressed tofu is available refrigerated in health-food stores and Asian grocery stores. ETA: I made this tonight. Sorry, I didn't time the prep. Lots of chopping of course. I used PAM instead of oil in my well-seasoned cast-iron skillet and didn't miss it. I found the flavoring mixture tasty but it stayed runny. You could either add it earlier in the stir-frying to see if it cooks down or add some cornstarch. I got 4 generous servings out of it and served it with Tom Ka (thai) soup and jasmine rice. -- posted by Chef Tweaker

Tofu Dorowat

A variation on Ethiopian Dorowat made with tofu instead of chicken. For a complete Ethiopian feast, make this dish with (other recipes from my book): - Lentils of Doom - Cabbage of Ostracism - Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce Making these four dishes together, you can: - Pick up one lg white onion and chop it finely. Split it four ways between the dishes. - Pick up one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes and split it between the Dorowat and Beef Stew Start the beef early, then the dorowat. Then, do the lentils (assuming pre-cooked potatoes) and cabbage. Pick up some Enjera (that amazing yummy bread). Live in Calgary? Pick it up fresh at Amy's Confectionary on 7th between 11AM and 5PM. YUMM!!! -- posted by Rhonda Scheurer

Grilled Tempeh Veggie Burgers

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:05:14 -0500

This protein-rich vegetarian (vegan) recipe is from "Cooking Light Magazine". Chill the tempeh well before slicing so it will be less apt to crumble. This recipe requires at least 3 hours of marinating, the longer the better. Serve with whole-grain burger buns, and whatever toppings you enjoy! -- posted by blucoat

Tofu Salad - Easy Vegan - Make Ahead (Moosewood)

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:50:22 -0500

Courtesy of the original Moosewood Cookbook. Love that you can make it ahead and just pull it out of the fridge at serving time. I'm serving this at a birthday party buffet to make sure there is something substantial for vegetarians/vegans in the group. The book recommends stuffing this salad into pita bread to make it a meal, which I've never tried but sounds great. Prep time includes the minimum 2 hours for marinading. Serves 6 as the main attraction, but more if it's a side dish. Enjoy! -- posted by magpie diner

Ma Po Tofu With Spinach

Cubes of silken tofu simmered in a spicy sauce, with pork and spinach. This is my favorite, so I usually make a double recipe! -- posted by vitaminz

A side track version of the vegan applesauce carrot cake recipe from Chef Joey Z! I added a few things and this recipe ends up making 3 whole "pies" of the cake instead of the 10 serving original version! -- posted by Chef EazyHa!

Very Berry Delight (Non Dairy!)

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 01:10:54 -0500

This delicious pairing of chocolate and berries comes from the World's Healthiest Foods site. The silken tofu gives the chocolate a creamy texture without using heavy cream, making this a heathful alternative to most dessert recipes. NOTE: Cook time includes prep for the pudding and the berries; Prep time is the time to chill the prepared pudding. ALSO, if you use frozen berries, thaw and drain well before adding. You may want to save the juice from the thawed berries, and drizzle it over the top for extra flavor and nutrition. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

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

Cauliflower & Tofu Casserole

Sun, 10 May 2009 19:39:09 -0400

This recipe is delicious. I doubt you could fool a tofu-phobic as the pieces are visible, but it really is a nice recipe. The original recipe (found at http://www.soscuisine.com) doesn't call for cheese, but I've included it because it adds that extra touch. -- posted by Génial Génie

Vegan Chocolate Strawberry Pudding

Wed, 20 May 2009 02:25:00 -0400

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

Vegetarian Hummus Tofu Wrap

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:36:04 -0400

A simple and tasty vegetarian wrap. Feta cheese can be removed to make a vegan dish. Also, a variety of tofu, flavored wraps and hummus can be used to personalize the wrap. I'm using a whole grain wrap to boost the sandwich's health factor, but you can substitute regular or flavored wraps if desired. Enjoy! -- posted by Chef #1369528

Somen, Tofu and Vegetables in Miso Broth

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 02:33:18 -0500

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
