The All-Banana Shake by Deborah Madison

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 00:25:04 -0500

Entered for safe-keeping. From Deborah Madison's "This Can't Be Tofu!". She claims the taste is similar to a Mexican liquados (bananas, vanilla and Mexican cream). Orange flower water is used in Middle Eastern and Indian cooking; if you can't find it, you might try Recipe #110957 #110957. She suggests the following variations (which would no longer qualify as "all-banana" ) : 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter (an "Elvis"! evoking Elvis Presley's love of bananas with peanut butter); 2 tablespoons or more of chocolate syrup; both peanut butter and chocolate syrup; or 1/2 cup coconut milk plus a squeeze of lime juice. Cooking time is blender time. -- posted by KateL

How-Do-I-Love-Thee Vegan Cheese

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 11:11:58 -0500

I can't quite think of the proper adjective for this cheeze recipe... it's wonderful mixed into calzones, dolloped on pizzas, baked on enchiladas. Did I mention it also makes terrific vegan cheese fries? Try it! (Thank you, John Robbins- from May All Be Fed.) -- posted by White Rose Child

Vegan Chilli

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 23:58:31 -0500

I make a batch of this every Sunday. Its just from my brain, pretty standard affair. You can serve this how you like. It makes about 1200g. I have 100g in a tortilla wrap for breakfast each day, which covers me up until Saturday morning. Add anything you like guacamole, spinach anything you like. -- posted by Kirien

Crispy Tofu With Sweet & Tangy Glaze

Wed, 04 Feb 2009 11:46:33 -0500

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

Pine Nut Cream

Thu, 12 Feb 2009 23:40:55 -0500

This recipe is from Veganomicon, and it is one of the steps in Isa's vegan version of Moussaka. However, this wonderful creamy blend is a great vegan substitute for Bechamel sauce. I particularly like to add this to baked pasta dishes, vegan lasagnas, or add a bit to make a regular tomato marinara sauce rich and creamy! -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Real Vegan Yoghurt Cheese

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 18:06:28 -0500

Unlike most types of vegan cheese this is real cheese. At least it's made just like the same kind of dairy cheese would be made. It is quite low in fat and has a texture like low-fat cream cheese. The taste is also similar though not very tangy so you might like to add some lemon juice to the cheese. Make sure you use real soya yoghurt made from live cultures as it might not otherwise work. If you would like a savoury cheese, it's usually all right to use sweetened yoghurt and add salt afterwards, but don't use a flavoured variety (like vanilla). Of course you can also make sweet versions of the cheese to use in frostings and desserts or just as a sweet spread. I've heard that real oat yoghurt is also available and I'm sure this recipe would work with that as well. -- posted by Goldcrest

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

Tofu and Broccoli Stir Fry (Martha Stewart)

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:08:38 -0400

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

Buffalo Tofu Wrap

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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 Burgz

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

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

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 Burgz

This Mexican style casserole is fairly healthy and really easy to throw together. I prepare it using a vegetarian version of ground beef, but I'm sure that it will also work well with any type of ground meat. -- posted by MommaMeredith

Simple Cashew Cream

Use this wherever half-and-half is called for in a recipe. You can also make the sauce thicker by using another 1/2 cup of cashews, which can be used in place of heavy cream! -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Delicious Tofu Banana Nut Pancakes!

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:20:31 -0400

I'm a strict vegetarian and borderline vegan so I love breakfast foods. But I'm always looking for ways to get the most protein out of every meal. This recipe combines delectable banana walnut pancakes with some tofu for the protein and you can't taste the difference! Get all the health benefits with a delicious flavor! Enjoy and please comment! (You can try apple cinnamon or blueberry almond too if you wish =) ) -- posted by vegi3wond3r

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

Vegan Tofu-Based Green Tea Smoothie

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:40:38 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! I finally pulled my blender out of the closet again so I did lots of smoothies. This one is green tea, meant to have a powerful flavor. Feel free to add fruits, honey or other sweeteners, or make it non-vegan with yogurt or ice cream instead. -- posted by the80srule

Tropical Strawberry Delight Smoothie

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:25:49 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is really, really sweet and a little different. I wouldn't add extra sugar, there's already a lot of flavors going on and natural sugar. -- posted by the80srule

Vegan Choco-Banana Smoothie

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:26:22 -0400

Part of my Nasoya Madness series since I got tons of coupons for Nasoya Creations so I could get the tofu packs for almost nothing; and did lots of experiments most of which went well! This is a vegan-ized classic and you can vary it by using 2/3 cup plain soymilk mixed with 1 tsp cocoa powder for a subtler chocolate flavor. It's also iceless for ease. -- posted by the80srule

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

Vegan Key Lime Pie Filling

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:14:47 -0500

This is a tad of a spinoff of a recipe on the side of a Nasoya Silken Creations box. You can skip the vanilla and cut the confectioners sugar a little bit if you use Silken Creations Vanilla instead. I didn't include a recipe for a pie crust because I like it crustless! And for ultimate laziness, you can even mix it right in the pie pan! There are lots of good vegan pie crust recipes on here, or you can buy a premade one. Note that cook time does not include cooling time. -- posted by the80srule

Last Thanksgiving, none of my guests wanted turkey, so I wanted to come up with a pareve main dish. There were NO leftovers and I get more requests for this recipe throughout the year than anything else, so it will be the main fare this year as well. -- posted by Feeding my Family
