Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Does anyone have a good recipe for tofu or seitan jerky. I Googled and found several recipes and several places to buy it, however I would like a known successful recipe (well as long as it is prepared properly by the cook anyway)? Any other type of veggie jerky would also be great. Thanks yall. Wow what a swell of posts today. How nice is that. Cheers, Shawn " If, at first, you do succeed, try to hide your astonishment.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Hi! I'm 17, and I have been a vegetarian for about 8 months now. Anyways...I was wondering if you guys could give me some help on eating. My family eats out a lot, so for dinner I usually eat a lot of subways, cheese pizza, and vegetable sandwiches. For lunch I generally have some chik-nuggets or those corn dogs made by Morningstar. It's just me and my mom at home, but my mom is not a vegetarian. I've made some different vegetarian dishes, and she hasnt tried any yet. I was wondering if you had some easy, but yummy vegetarian dishes. Also...I've tried tofu twice, once at home, and once at a chinese restaurant, and it just wasn't good to me. I'd like to try it more times though, because I know that it's really good for me, so if you guys could give me some advice on different uses for tofu, and how to prepare it, that would be excellent! Thank you. ~Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Here is our most favorite tofu recipe. And if you check out the discussion board of Bryanna, she shares all of her recipes on the board. http://www.vegsource.com/talk/beginner/index.html * Exported from MasterCook * Oven-Fried Breast Of Tofu Recipe By : " The Almost No-fat cookbook " by Bryanna Clark Grogan Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Main Dishes, Vegetarian Soyfoods Vegan Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes 2 teaspoons crumbled sage leaves -- or 1 tsp. powdered -- sage 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 2 pounds reduced-fat -- firm or medium-firm -- regular tofu 1 cup Seasoned Flour ***SEASONED FLOUR*** 2 cups whole wheat flour or other grain flour 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon onion powder -- (opt.) pepper to taste see directions I fry the slices after marinating in a lightly oiled non-stick pan, without the seasoning flour and eat hot or cold, delicious either way. Prepare Breast of Tofu Marinade by combining in a 2-quart bowl: water, soy sauce, nutritional yeast flakes, crumbled sage leaves, or powdered sage, dried rosemary, dried thyme, onion powder. Instead of all or some of the traditional " poultry seasonings " (thyme, sage, rosemary, etc.), use cumin, coriander, basil, oregano, or whatever herbs are suitable for the dish you are making. For spicy Breast of Tofu, add as much Louisiana-style hot sauce to the marinade as you like. Rinse, drain and squeeze liquid from tofu that has been frozen. Cut into 1/2-inch thick slices. Marinade the tofu slices for as little as a few hours or as long as a few days(in the refrigerator). Turn the slices or spoon over the marinade from time to time, or store in a tightly lidded container, and shake. To cook, preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and coat the tofu slices in flour, following Lay the slices in single layers, not touching, on two lightly greased, dark-colored cookie sheets (the tofu won't brown properly on shiny aluminum sheets). Bake until the bottoms are golden, about 15 minutes. Turn the pieces over and bake until the other sides are golden, about 15 minutes more. Use immediately or cool on racks and refrigerate. The slices will keep well wrapped in the refrigerator for several days. Cold Breast of Tofu slices can be used as a sandwich " meat. " Try them diced and mixed with celery and Tofu mayonnaise, for an excellent sandwich filling or hearty salad to serve on lettuce leaves. Serve hot slices topped with any sauce suitable for chicken or veal. Use in your favorite casseroles , or slivered in a chef's salad instead of chicken. Seasoned Flour Mix together: 2 cups whole wheat flour or other grain flour 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. onion powder(opt.) pepper to taste Store in tightly covered container in the refrigerator.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 There is such a thing as tofu jerky. I tried it once and didn't care for it but you might like it. If I see it again soon, I'll get the mfg info for you. I'll probably get some flack for saying this, but I find deep fried tofu to be quite good. It's versatile and easy to prepare in advance. Marinate it for several hours in your favorite spices before cooking. (Also, to seal in the flavor, I use a food vaccum sealing system during the marinate process.) I cook with golden olive oil and use extra virgin for non cooked dishes. Good luck, Sara. Dave Studabaker17 [studabaker17] Wednesday, January 08, 2003 1:23 AM Re: tofu jerky??? Hi!

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 http://www.healthy-eating.com These people here sell the tofu jerky. Just insert 'tofu jerky' in the search box. There are alot of different brands and flavors. I tried some long ago, they seemed very oily, but I never liked that kind of stuff anyway. Hub liked them.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Thanks for the link Chris. Cool sample pack gift baskets here http://www.healthy-eating.com/Sample%20Packs.htm I bet If I sent one of those baskets to my relatives they would open it up and take two steps back, LOL.

Hi Sara, Congratualtions on your move to vegetarianism, I'm sure this list will help you with any questions you might have. As for tofu probably the easiest way to have it prepared is fried then sliced and thrown into a vegetable stir fry. Here's a easy recipe for mexican beans, it takes minimal cooking skill & time, is rather tasty and is fairly inexpensive to make: 500g tin of 4 bean mix (for those who prefer to use rehydrated beans, use equal amounts of butter beans, red kidney beans, lima beans and garbanzo bean) 2 tomatoes chopped 1 onion chopped mushrooms (as much as you like, chopped) 1 tablespoon veg oil of your choice (I use olive oil) 2 tablespoon tomato paste 15g of prepacked taco seasoning (or make your own with paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, sugar, garlic powder, corn flour) fry onion in oil until clear, add mushrooms & sautee until brown. Add tomatoes and tomato paste and stir drain and add beans and seasoning, stir until heated through Eat with cornchips, rice, bread or by itself.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2003 Report Share Posted January 10, 2003 Sara, If you are looking for simple recipes here are a couple for you. I've attempted to get my non-cooking husband to cook more by giving him a small cookbook I made for him--so I wrote these simple recipes. These recipes are REALLY easy and have just a few ingredients. International Stew (Adapted from McDougall) 1 can black beans 1 can corn kernels 1 can diced tomatoes (use flavored tomatoes if you have them) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon chili powder 1) Drain the black beans, and add to a pot with all the other ingredients. Heat through and serve. *Optional: Add chopped onion, veggies, cheese, salsa, or sour cream. Also good served over rice or noodles. Roasted Potatoes 4-6 small red potatoes, or 1-2 larger baking potatoes Cooking spray 1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2) Cut potatoes into chunks about 1 1/2 inches thick. 3) Spray the bottom of a cooking sheet or baking pan with cooking spray. Add potatoes and then spray them liberally with cooking spray. 4) Bake for 20-30 minutes (check for softness), then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve. *Variation: Roasted Potatoes and Vegetables *Prepare as above but add baby carrots and large chunks of onion. Chili Stuffed Sweet Potatoes 2 sweet potatoes, or one large one cut in half 1 can vegetarian chili, or homemade chili Shredded cheese, optional 1) Preheat the oven to 350. Wash the sweet potatoes. 2) Poke several holes in each sweet potato with a fork. Place directly on the oven rack and bake for 50 minutes until soft. 3) Heat the chili. When the sweet potatoes are done, make a slit down each one lengthwise and press on the ends to open them up, create a cavity, and show the flesh inside. 4) Spoon chili into the cavity in each sweet potato, sprinkle with cheese and serve.
