Guest guest Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Tofu doesn't have much of it's own taste. It takes on the flavors of whatever spice or sauce that you are using. Kathy Olson _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Plain firm tofu is a little bit like the texture of a boiled egg white. There are extra hard types which are a bit more like the texture of cheese. There are also softer types which are a bit more like cream cheese (silken tofu). They don't have much taste of their own but will take on the flavour of whatever you add. One simple thing I like is to take slices of firm tofu, marinate them in soy sauce, ginger and garlic, then lightly fry them in a little olive oil till they are a little browned (a couple of minutes each side). You can also make good tofu scrambled " eggs " by mashing up tofu and adding things like fried onions, herbs, spices, whatever you fancy, maybe a few mushrooms or some spinach, heat it all through in a pan then eat it on toast.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 We run frozen bananas through our champion juicer... It comes out like soft serve ice cream.? You can also mix frozen fruits with it to create " ice cream " in various flavours, or some cashew butter and carob to create a fudgey ice cream.? If you don't have a champion juicer, just slicing the frozen bananas is pretty popular with my 2 yr old and 4 yr old.? Frozen grapes are good too (but can be a choking hazard for young children).? I have a great recipe for tofu cheesecake but it has a granola crust... I don't know what you would do to replace that.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 My kids have been loving a variation of these pumpkin muffins: http://glutenfreebay.blogspot.com/2006/11/pumpkin-muffins.html Yesterday, I ran out of pumpkin, so I substituted what I had. Instead of pumpkin, we used cooked, pureed butternut squash. Instead of oil, I used zucchini puree. Applesauce would also work but apples are out for us. Instead of the eggs, I used flax/water mixture. Instead of maple syrup, I substituted about 2/3 that amount of honey and some extra water. I'm sure you could play around with the sugar or use a sugar substitute of your liking. I'd also increase the spices if you want it to be a bit spicier. And just use whatever gluten-free flour substitute you normally use. I even made them without any guar or xanthan gum and they held together fine. Spraying the muffin liner with oil does seem to be crucial though. My kids loved them. I made 30 muffins and 11 mini muffins from that recipe and there are only about 6 muffins left. My husband (who can eat anything) tried them and likened them to a pumpkin bran muffin and said he really liked them. I know it looks like I made a lot of substitutions, but I've found that muffin recipes are very forgiving. And my kids will eat anything that comes in muffin form, especially if they're mini muffins! --Shawn - aissas_id Tuesday, February 03, 2009 9:59 AM recipe request Hi everyone, I've been searching and I'm hoping someone here may have some other ideas for me. I'm looking for a toddler-friendly dessert for my son's valentines party next week. I'd like it to be something he can eat- so vegan, gluten free, corn free, and low sugar.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Someone once suggested as a replacement for birthday cake a watermelon, cut in half, with candles inserted into the flesh. Then just slice and serve. For valentines, it is already red, maybe decorate with some sort of white flower or garnish, and everyone will think you are very creative.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 My vote is for cupcakes. There are two great gf recipes in " Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World. " I've subbed rice flours and used less sugar and they were still great! You can make them ahead of time, then have the kids decorate their own w/ fruits, sprinkles, coconut, etc. --- On Tue, 2/3/09, aissas_id <aissa.arbogast wrote: aissas_id <aissa.arbogast recipe request Tuesday, February 3, 2009, 12:59 PM Hi everyone, I've been searching and I'm hoping someone here may have some other ideas for me.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 You can put a dash of apple cider vinegar or some other fairly mild vinegar in there instead. I'm not certain if it's essential at all, honestly, but if it does anything, the other types of vinegar will be fine.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 umeboshi vinegar is not actually a vinegar, it is a brine with a cherry aroma and a sour flavor. you can replace it with vinegar and salt.

I am looking for a recipe for faux chicken. I have two cook books that are awesome: The Garden of Vegan, and How It All Vegan. They have recipes that utilize home-made wheat gluten to make faux fried chicken. I am a really good cook, but this stuff is rubbery and tough! It doesn't remind me of chicken in the slightest. The flavoring is great though, it utilizes a ton of thyme, a bit of tamari, and just a great blend of herbs, but the texture is horrific! Does anyone have a recipe for fried chicken they would like to share? Thank You! Colt ************ **It's raining cats and dogs -- Come to PawNation, a place where pets rule!

My soup from the other night was wonderful. You could use any winter squash: *Butternut-Chickpea Bisque* 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 tsp. oil (optional; use water for fat-free soup; use more if fat content isn't a concern) 1 small butternut squash, peeled and cut into chunks or cubes 1 tablespoon dried parsley, or 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley 1 to 2 cups (or one can) cooked garbanzo beans, drained salt and pepper to taste In a heavy soup pot on medium heat, sautee onion in oil until translucent; add garlic and sautee a couple minutes more. Add remaining ingredients and enough water to cover by 1 inch or so. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30-45 minutes. Puree with hand blender, or in batches in standard blender or food processor. Serve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
