Thai Lemongrass Tofu Skewers

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 18:34:09 -0400

This untried recipe is from the July/August 08 Vegetarian Times. Once the skewers come off of the grill, you put the contents into lettuce cups along with some herbs, roll and dip into a sauce. This sounds wonderful and I can't wait for our next barbecue to try this out. I added basil leaves to this recipe, because mint and basil are so tasty together in Thai dishes. I will also serve with red chile sauce to add the the rolls. -- posted by VegSocialWorker

Coriander, Curry & Yogurt-Crusted Tofu

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 01:23:10 -0400

Tofu With Olives and Preserved Lemon

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:56:33 -0400

From the October 08 Vegetarian Times. This recipe is undried by me so far. I'll update when I have tried it. I have also posted a recipe to make preserved lemons. This is said to be a Moroccan style dish, so it is probably served with couscous. I would use whole wheat couscous or may even just serve with brown rice. We're not purists by any means. -- posted by VegSocialWorker

Lemony Chickpea Stir-Fry (Vegan and Yum)

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:56:26 -0400

I found this recipe a few days ago on one of my foodie blogs, made it almost immediately, and I now have a new favorite. I'll be making this many times over until I'm sick of it, if that can be possible. Many years ago I used to be a vegan and went carnivore, but if I had had this around, I might have stuck with it a little longer. I alter the recipe here and there, and have posted a few changes. The original recipe states that this is for 4, but I could just graze on this all day long. -- posted by Mirj

Curried "chicken" Salad

Sat, 13 Sep 2008 00:21:03 -0400

My girlfriend modified this vegan chicken salad recipe from Robin Robertson's "Vegan Planet" by using tofu instead of tempeh. Can easily be made more accessible to non-vegans by using ordinary mayonnaise. I imagine this would be great with actual chicken in it as well in place of the tofu. We serve this in pita pockets. -- posted by EmilyStrikesAgain

Sweet-And-Sour Red Cabbage With Apples and Tempeh

Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:06:22 -0400

Chile Cornmeal Crusted Tofu

Wed, 01 Oct 2008 21:51:14 -0400

Yum, Yum! I adapted this recipe from Veganomicon, and it turned out great. I really, really like the use of cornstarch and soy milk to mimick the raw egg traditionally used in "breading" recipes. I used the tofu to make "Po Boy" style sandwiches by placing the fried tofu on grilled rolls with chipotle vegan mayo and fresh yellow tomatoes. The only major change I made from the original recipe was to add a tsp or two of Old Bay Seasoning, and some extra salt (I actually used Penzey's Special Smokey Seasoned Salt) -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Sun, 30 Nov 2008 02:32:23 -0500

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.

Tofu Simmered in Hoisin Sauce by Deborah Madison

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 01:26:18 -0500

Entered for safe-keeping, asking my vegetarian friends to review this for me. From "This Can't Be Tofu!" by Deborah Madison. Because hoisin sauce is very sweet, dice the tofu very small and serve it as a sauce over rice, with stir-fried spinach, green beans or broccoli on the side. For interesting presentation, cut the tofu into triangles, brown them briefly in a little oil, and add them to the sauce. Per Ms. Madison, soft tofu packed in water has the best flavor and texture, both of which are more pronounced if tofu is not browned. If you enjoy the pure flavor of soft tofu, heat the sauce with the tofu in it until it is just warmed through; if it reduces too much, add more water or stock to thin it out. Serves 2 as a main course, or 4 as an accent sauce. -- posted by KateL

You can also use whatever kind or flavor of salsa you prefer. -- posted by SnowBeetle

Miso-Glazed Tofu on Stilts (Dengaku)

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:10:16 -0500

Dengaku is a popular dish at the tea houses that line the lovely Philosophers Walk in Kyoto. The dish takes its curious name from the Japanese word for stilt. The stilts in question are two slender bamboo skewers that are used to hold the piece of tofu over the coals for grilling. The recipe is from Steven Raichlen's TV show, "BBQ U". Tofu needs to be pressed for 1 hour. -- posted by blucoat

This is another way to eat tofu. I just experimented one day and came out pretty good. Very easy to prepare and quick to make. I serve with hot rice. This makes very good vegetarian dish also. I usually eyeball the amount on each ingredients. Easy to increase or decrease depends on your tastes. Make sure you get a firm tofu. Soft tofu won't work well. -- posted by Chef #687512

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry (Martha Stewart)

This recipe is from Martha Stewart's "Everyday Food". This stir-fry is delicious over brown rice or Asian noodles. To toast the cashews, spread them on a baking sheet and cook in a 350-degree oven for about 10 minutes. If you like a sweet-and-sour flavor, add 1 tablespoon of sugar to the sauce in step 4. -- posted by blucoat

Peanut Sauce Vegetable Stir Fry With Tofu

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:52:17 -0400

This comes courtesy of the Bob's Red Mill recipe collection. The original version called for serving over quinoa, but since I never have that available and suspect many others don't either, this version I'm posting simply calls for rice. Feel free to serve this over quinoa or whatever grain suits you; soba noodles would probably be great too. Personally, I always omit the mushrooms because of an allergy; the veggies are really just suggestions anyway, so adapt and experiment according to your needs. Chopped peanuts are nice added to this, too, for added crunch. NOTE: Cook time does not include cooking of the rice, since that will vary according to the kind you use. -- posted by Lynne the Pirate Queen

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

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

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!

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

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 am Torgo. When The Master told me we were becoming vegan, I said it was an abomination. He then reminded me, "You're the abomination, goat boy!" Since he doesn't yet want to give up his favorite comfort foods (and comfort wives), I concocted this simple fake lasagna. It makes 2 large portions if only accompanied with bread, or 4 small portions if 2 hapless guests dine with you and your The Master. You'll find Torgotta Cheese with my other recipes. -- posted by Torgo, Esq.

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

This is a copycat recipe from PF Chang's China Bistro. It's my favorite dish there, and while my dining room lacks the ambiance...this dish is still excellent at home! -- posted by Wish I Could Cook

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

Vegan Manicotti

Found this recipe on vegweb.com and it looks delicious! I love any sort of substitution I can get for cheese (since my finance is lactose intolerant!). -- posted by Chef #1294045

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

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 11:44:53 -0500

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

Ginger Soba Noodles

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 11:40:26 -0500

This is a delicious cold salad inspired by the sesame noodles served at my favorite deli. It can be served as a side dish or a healthy, vegan main course. The 4 servings listed are for small main course portions. -- posted by ATouchofZing
