You guys. I think I’m in love with a sandwich. But not just any sandwich! Oh no, my love is reserved for this battered tofu torta. I also have a really hard time with not typing beer before battered tofu, but there is no beer in here! Though there could be, and that would be …
Tofu
Are you more a savory or sweet crepe person? I was always more of a sweet crepe person growing up. Sweet fillings helped mask the eggy flavor of the crepes, which was definitely my least favorite thing about them. That’s all changed now though, as my vegan crepes do not taste eggy at all (obviously)!
If malai kofta isn’t one of your top 5 Indian dishes you probably fall into one of these categories: you’ve never been to an Indian restaurant*, you’ve been vegan or lactose intolerant your whole life, you don’t like rich foods, or you’re really bad at ordering.
Meet my favorite green curry. It’s vegan (duh), green (also, duh), stuffed full of green veggies (yum), and has fried tofu tucked throughout (yessss!). It’s incredibly easy to make, ready in just over 30 minutes, less if you skip frying the tofu.
After stuffing ourselves full of cookies last week, I really started craving rich savory flavors, and strongly. Luckily I had eaten enough wishing cookies that all my wishes are bound to come true, including the ones for steaming piles of creamy pasta. The small matter that I’m the one controlling what I cook and eat clearly …
I didn’t set out to create a veganized mattar paneer when I made this dish. I was craving a rich tasting and creamy Indian curry, and didn’t want to break out a second pot to make a vegetable dish. Tofu was my first choice for the protein, I just love the tender morsels tucked into …
So, I know it’s been crazy hot all over the US this past week, with the Midwest in particular experiencing record breaking heat waves, but theoretically the first day of fall was just a few days ago and we’re supposed to be settling into our sweaters and steaming mugs of pumpkin spice lattes. Well, however …
What’s your favorite dish to order at a Chinese restaurant? I’m really bad at picking favorites, but any dish that includes a black bean sauce is definitely up at the top of my list. I love that it’s a bit spicy, and I love the depth of flavor you get from the fermented black bean …
I’m not sure how something with such a short ingredient list can be so insanely good. Well actually, I do get it, because every ingredient in the sauce has such a complex flavor (not including the water, of course!). This was one of those dishes that I couldn’t stop talking about. During dinner I not-so-humbly proclaimed I …
Last week I roasted and filled red bell peppers and was reminded how fun and easy and it is to make stuffed foods. It inspired me to make these pea ricotta stuffed shells with a red wine marinara not even a week later! Like lasagna or other noodle-based casseroles, the shells are great hot out of the oven …
