I fried this tempeh for lunch one day, and didn’t have time to marinate it more than an hour. It was very delicious, which made me realize that tempeh absorbs flavors even more readily than tofu does! Actually, the marinade I used is pretty close to the one we often use for tofu, but I [...]
We had a weekday dinner at its best on Wednesday: delicious five-spiced tofu, slightly sweet and sour stir-fried veggies, and a bowl of brown rice. Yumminess can’t be exaggerated, it was all very delicious. It happened to be the Chinese New Year’s eve as well - everyone was wishing happy new year for each other [...]

This was our vegan take on the traditional Finnish Christmas ham, although its similarities to a ham are very minor. We coated our roast with Dijon mustard that’s seasoned with garlic and red bell pepper - I am not a great mustard lover, but that particular mustard is delicious. We used pink peppercorns for decoration [...]

We had a triangular-themed dinner on Monday; these tempeh triangles were served with triangular carrots, and the accompanying black bean salad was surrounded by cucumber triangles.

This isn’t really a recipe, more like an idea of how to prepare all those green leafy vegetables from the Asian market. Choi sum is really yummy, and its stalks taste a bit like asparagus. We often eat bok choi, Shanghai bok choi, and water spinach prepared the same way: lightly steamed and seasoned with [...]

This is a really basic but delicious recipe for preparing tofu. For the seasoned vegan veterans there’s probably nothing special here, but it’s a great introduction to tofu if you haven’t yet accustomed yourself to its unique and infinitely malleable taste. Here’s what tofu prepared this way looks like, when fried and served together with [...]
