Sweet Potato Tofu Ginger And Curry Soup Vegan Recipes

VEGAN TOFU AND SWEET POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook onion, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sweet potatoes and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Dust with curry powder and cook for 30 seconds.
• Stir tomatoes and their juices into the pot. Add vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until sweet potatoes are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Add peas and simmer for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in tofu and carefully mix together. Heat for 3 minutes. Garnish with fresh mint leaves.

SHEET-PAN CRISP TOFU AND SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Arrange tofu pieces, cut sides down, on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Cover with another kitchen towel, and place a flat cutting board on top. If your cutting board is lightweight, stack a few cans or a skillet on top to weigh it down. Let tofu drain for at least 10 minutes (and up to 30 minutes), then transfer to a cutting board. Cut strips into 3/4-inch pieces (1-inch thick), and transfer to a medium bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk together oil, tamari, honey and 1 teaspoon vinegar. Toss half the mixture with the tofu, then toss in cornstarch. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan.
• On a separate rimmed sheet pan, toss together potato wedges, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer; do not crowd the pan. If they don't all fit, arrange extra wedges on the pan with the tofu.
• Bake tofu and potatoes until browned, 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through. If the tofu sticks (and this is likely), use a thin metal spatula to carefully loosen each one before flipping. A small offset spatula is perfect here.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine scallions, 1 tablespoon vinegar and a large pinch each sugar and salt. Let sit while tofu and potatoes roast.
• To serve, toss tofu with some of the reserved tamari sauce, to taste. Serve with potato wedges, topped with scallions, cilantro and a drizzle of hot sesame chile oil or sprinkling of red-pepper flakes, and more tamari sauce. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired.

• Next stir in curry powder, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon and salt.
• Add in coconut milk, tomato sauce, vegetarian broth and ground cashews. Stir until smooth.
• Gently add in tofu and stir. Simmer on low heat for 20 minutes or until sweet potatoes and carrots are fork tender. Serve immediately with cilantro.
