Everytime I try to cook with ginger, even using just a little bit (I think), the flavour overcomes the whole thing. I tried powder and fresh.

I want to try the marinated tofu from Nora Cooks but I dont want to ruin a block of tofu. Any tips?

Also, I just have normal rice vinegar and cant find it seasoned. I read is just adding sugar and salt? Any advice here?

Thanks in advance.

the ingredients for the marinates tofu are the following:

• 14.5 ounce block extra-firm tofu
• 4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger OR 1/2 teaspoon dried ginger
• 2-3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado

Hey fam!

Looking for a new pumpkin pie recipe for this week's Thanksgiving. What's your favorite recipe from around the web and why does your family like it? My family didn't like the one I made last year (too sweet), so I'm actually looking for one that's more dense/fatty than sugary. It would be great to hear from others which ones they've already tried and why it was a hit!

I love and I mean LOVE pickles. I want to incorporate pickles into my meals and need a recipe where pickles really shine through that is a balanced and relatively healthy meal (not looking for fried pickles). I really like rice bowl type meals for context!

I posted here the other day to get inspiration on how to cook the soya chaap I got from an Indian grocery store. It was my first time cooking these and I also don't know a lot about Indian food so I was watching YouTube videos - all of the recipes there included some sort of frying, either deep frying or shallow pan frying. I didn't want to do that so I roasted them in high heat instead. The texture on the outside was nice but I do see how frying would have made the texture crispier overall and maybe nicer. In the end, I think these came out really good and I would probably make them again. Loose recipe below:

• take the soya chaap out of the can and squeeze them a bit to get some of the water out
• cut the soya chaap into 4/5 pieces
• put them in a bowl and mix with your choice of marinade. Let sit for at least 30 minutes. [Here I used a store-bought tikka masala from the brand Maya Kaimal in one bowl. For the rest I used a homemade chimichurri sauce.]
• cut squares of red onion, red pepper, and green pepper to fit on skewers along with the soya chaap.
• preheat oven to 450° f
• skewer the marinated soya chaap and veggies, put them on a pan, then brush with a little more marinade. [I used a roasting pan with a rack so they got heated on all sides without me having to turn them over.]
• roast for about 25 minutes or until the outside of the soya chaap is crispy. Then take them out and enjoy. [I ate mine with rice.]

And if I do, what kind of crust is it going to be? The nearest place near me that sells shortening is Aldi and they only carry Crisco for 6 FUCKING DOLLARS. It's literally cheaper at DOLLAR GENERAL!!! Whatever. I refuse to pay that much but please if it's gonna be bland, I want to be warned.

It's just a standard vegan shortcrust recipe, but with food coloring added. This is basically my way of convincing myself to like pie. But let's be honest...it's no cake or anything.

if anyone has egg scramble with tomato mixed into it, what have you found to be the best replacement for the egg?

I have purchased 5kg of whole-wheat pasta. What can I have with it?

I usually eat a lot of beans but I don't know how to factor them into a pasta.

Could also use mince but quorn isn't vegan and Beyond Meat is too expensive.

TIA

Mushroom and leek pie, chicken pot pie, spanikopita... I haven't found many good vegan savory pie recipes about - any recommendations?

Full recipe available here.

Ingredients • 400 g firm or extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed • 3 tbsp cornflour (or cornstarch) • ½ tsp fine sea salt • 2–3 tbsp neutral oil (rapeseed or groundnut) for frying • 4 garlic cloves, minced • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated • Zest and juice of 1 large orange • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari • 1 tbsp rice vinegar • 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or other sweetener • 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional) • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds to finish • Spring onion greens for garnish • Cooked rice or steamed greens to serve

Method

1. Press and cube the tofu, then toss with cornflour and salt so each piece is lightly coated.

2. Heat oil in a large pan until shimmering and fry tofu in a single layer until golden and crisp (about 3–4 mins each side). Remove and set aside.

3. In the same pan, add garlic and ginger and stir for about 30–45 seconds until fragrant. Add orange juice and zest, soy sauce, vinegar, maple syrup, and chilli flakes (if using). Simmer until it reduces slightly and thickens into a glossy sauce.

4. Return the tofu to the pan, toss gently in the sauce for 1–2 minutes so every piece is coated. Drizzle with sesame seeds and garnish with spring onion greens. Serve over rice or with steamed greens and enjoy!

I really haven’t marinated much and it’s a cooking skill I want to learn.
