Spring Rolls

Veganit — Mon, 27 Jun 2022 17:57:05 +0000

A refreshing change from the usual fried variety, and have become a family favorite. They are great as a cool summertime meal, and are delicious dipped in a peanut sauce.

MAKE IT GLUTEN FREE: Be sure to use certified gluten-free noodles and tamari (not soy sauce, which typically contains gluten).

MAKE IT PEANUT FREE: Substitute almond butter (if not avoiding nuts altogether) or sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter.

PREPARE IN ADVANCE: You can definitely mix together the peanut sauce in advance. You can also prepare the veggies several hours or up to 1 day in advance, and store them in an air-tight container (they will lose freshness with time). The spring roll wrappers tend to dry out with time or once chilled, so spring rolls are best assembled shortly before serving. If you’d like to keep them fresh for an hour or two, store them under a lightly damp, lint-free tea towel at room temperature (the skin tends to harden in the refrigerator).

Tip: to bulk up the protein, and to make this a complete meal you can totally add tofu strips

Note: The nutritional information is per serving (the peanut sauce is not included)

Seitan Steaks

My dear grandmother, who took care of me and my brother when we were little, often used to cook steak with mushrooms. We loved it and always asked for a second plate.

This is my vegan version of my grandmother’s recipe.

Note: Of course, it will never be as good as grandma’s (grandma’s recipes are and will be always superior).

These vegetable spring rolls are crunchy, crispy, super flavorsome and a great option for an appetizer or a main dish. The best part is that these harumaki can be filled with any veggies leftovers you have!

Note: As you can see, I still don’t master the art of rolling crepes. But, who cares? It was delicious after all. They disappeared in 5 min. This was my first attempt using the dough recipe from a youtube channel called “Receitas do Kazu”. Watch his video if you are having trouble rolling the crepes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5sb-wv7Pvc&t=170s%20if%20you%20are%20g%C2%

Butternut Squash Stuffed with Tofu

Veganit — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 18:17:33 +0000

This simple Stuffed Butternut Squash with Tofu is healthy comfort food at its best! Flavorful, satisfying, and full of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin A! You can serve this dish with creamy spinach “ricotta” and some roasted pecans.

How to Pick the Best Butternut Squash?

Look for butternut squash that is heavy for its size. It doesn’t need to be the biggest one, but one that is solid and heavy is a must.
Look for squash with a nice beige-ish color. Surface scratches and imperfections are normal, but deep scratching, cuts, or soft spots are not.

Keep your butternut squash in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks until ready to cook.
