Tofu & Green Onion Wontons + Chili Broth
Ever made homemade wontons before? You totally should! They’re a little time consuming, but they are super easy to make and delicious too. These Tofu & Green Onion Wontons are meatless and depending on the base of stock you choose for the Chili Broth, they might be completely vegetarian too! The chili broth here doesn’t mess around either. It has a real kick to it. So if you aren’t big on spicy things, you may want to use a plain broth or lessen the amount of spice in here.
The broth here isn’t meant to be a soup, but more of an additional coating of flavor for the wontons to get to roll around in. Trust me, you need the broth here as it really adds a whole lot to the dish! It’s spicy, tangy, and perfect to pair with the neutral wontons themselves…
Read MoreTofu Pad Thai
Pad Thai tends to be one of my favorite go-to asian themed dishes. I think it’s probably that way for a lot of people since it’s common, simple, delicious, and also tends to be one of the better-for-you options on a menu. I always like to take mine a step further when I can to get it meatless too.
Today I decided to make a take-out fake-out version of Tofu Pad Thai! It’s super quick and easy to make. Everything is put into one skillet for a quick toss and cook at the end. You could probably even get away with making most of the individual pieces ahead of time to have prepped and ready to heat up once ready for it at dinner time…
Read MoreBaked Buffalo Tofu Strips
Who needs chicken? These Baked Buffalo Tofu Strips are a great vegetarian alternative to the long time favorite of buffalo chicken. They’re breaded in panko and baked to perfection. That’s right, no frying needed! It’s truly one of my most favorite ways to eat tofu.
The panko seasoning is the star of the show. Tofu doesn’t have any real flavor so you have to put it with a lot of boldness to get anything out of it. That’s why I seasoned the hell out of the breading mixture. But, feel free to add more to it and adjust accordingly to your tastes. Just keep in mind that this is where the MOST of your flavor is going to come from. It should taste very spicy and very salty!…
Read MoreVeggie & Hummus Pinwheels
Last week I made my own homemade 5 Ingredient Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, and I made a pretty tasty wrap using it. Since the wrap got a really good response over on Facebook, I decided that I would go ahead and post my actual recipe for it. The only change that I've made is making the wrap into pinwheels so that it could be served as either an appetizer or a fun little 'snackable' lunch option. Plus, let's face it... they are so bright and colorful this way!
These little wheels of awesome are packed with plenty of fresh vegetables and lots of flavor. The secret is in the hummus spread, and of course you can't go wrong with adding feta cheese to anything in my opinion...
Read MoreCrispy Tofu & Roasted Vegetable Buddha Bowl
It's National Soy Foods Month, and I couldn't be more excited. I've been working pretty hard lately to try and meet a more plant based diet. So to celebrate, I've created a perfectly light and flavorful plant powered Buddha bowl!
This Buddha bowl (or Hippie Bowl) has a base of purple cabbage, it's layered on top with roasted vegetables (brussels sprouts, butternut squash, and edamame) and crispy tofu fries that were paired with a perfectly spiced Skinny Sriracha Aioli - perfect for dipping! It's easy to make too! With just two baking sheets and the oven doing almost all of the work for you...
