Veganzo

This blog was created to show people that vegetarian and vegan dishes are not that boring, after all. I will exclusively post pictures of what I actually eat in my everyday life. This is not a vegan-only blog since I still eat cheese sometimes and I don't call myself a vegan, but I will try and keep it as vegan as possible, like I do in real life.

SWEET POTATO SALAD

Ingredients for 1 person

one big sweet potato

100 gr lacto fermented tofu

Mushrooms

1 avocado (half is fine too)

Soy sauce

Sesame seeds (optional)

Lemon

Green salad

Vegetable (olive) oil

Preheat your oven at 200° C. ⠀ Cut the sweet potato into thin slices without cutting it completely, leaving the bottom part whole. Place it in the oven and top it with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, cook for about 20 minutes at least, depending on its size. *** Cut and place the lacto-fermented tofu in a bowl, add a little bit of lemon juice, garlic, pepper and mix it all with a blender or a fork. Wash the green salad and dry it. Wash the mushrooms and cut them into thin strips, place them on top of the salad (leave them raw), add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, vegetable oil and lemon juice to taste. Cut and place the avocado as well. *** Once cooked, you can place your sweet potato on the salad dish. Top with the lacto-fermented tofu and sesame seeds (optional)!

Teriyaki Tofu! Need vegan protein?

For two people you wanna use 400 gr of tofu, but I only used 200 grams for myself.

----- 

For the sauce: 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar or apple vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, (optional) a bit of garlic powder and, to make it thick, 1 tablespoon of flour or cornstarch. Add a few tablespoons of water to the sauce, about 3. 

Mix well and set aside. Remember that for one person you have to divide the ingredients by two, or at least use less soy sauce and less sugar. ----- 

Cut the tofu into slices and roast it on a hot pan with a little oil. Don't forget the other side! It must be golden brown. Now you want to turn the heat off, because the pan will be already warm enough. Pour the sauce on top of the tofu and move it a bit with a spoon so that all the tofu is marinated in the sauce.

-----

I decorated the tofu with sesame seeds and served with steamed asparagus on a bed of spinach. You're done!!!

Caramelized tempeh with sweet and sour sauce

How to cook tempeh and make the sauce for this recipe: For 200 grams of tempeh:

Cut the tempeh into cubes; in the meantime, heat a tablespoon of sesame oil on a pan. Toast the tempeh in the pan until it turns brown. Set it aside only when it’s really golden brown and crispy.

Then, in a bowl, you can prepare your sweet and sour sauce:

3 tablespoons of soy sauce

2 tablespoons of agave syrup (or maple or other syrup)

the juice of a lime (half a lime is fine too)

a teaspoon of peanut butter (you can also double it)

1 or 2 teaspoons of corn or potato starch

Mix everything with a teaspoon. Now, at home I had spinach and mushrooms, but you can cook any kind of vegetable in the same pan where you had previously toasted your tempeh. Put the tempeh back in the hot pan with your veggies, just to warm it up a bit. Turn off the heat and pour the sauce on the tempeh and veggies.This way, the heat of the pan will caramelize everything and the sauce will become thick. Mix well, so that the sauce does not stick to the pan. Serve!
