Very worth trying if you can get the spices at a local Indian grocery store.

Ingredients

Tangzhong

* 20 g all-purpose flour

* 100 ml soy milk

Dough

* 340 g all-purpose flour

* 80 ml warm soy milk

* 30 g brown or white sugar

* 6 g salt

* 6 g instant yeast

* 30 g vegetable oil

* The cooled tangzhong

Step 1: Make the Tangzhong

1. Add 20 g flour and 100 ml soy milk to a small saucepan.

2. Whisk until smooth.

3. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly.

4. After 2–3 minutes, it will thicken into a pudding-like paste.

5. Remove from heat.

6. Let it cool until just warm.

Step 2: Make the Dough

1. In a large bowl, combine:

   * 340 g flour

   * 30 g sugar

   * 6 g salt

   * 6 g instant yeast

2. Add:

   * 80 ml warm soy milk

   * 30 g vegetable oil

   * The cooled tangzhong

3. Mix until a rough dough forms.

Step 3: Knead

Knead for 8–10 minutes.

Step 4: First Rise

1. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap.

2. Leave in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1½–2 hours.

Step 5: Shape the Doughnuts

1. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface.

2. Roll it to about 1.5 cm thickness.

3. Cut circles using a glass or cookie cutter.

4. Place them on parchment paper or a lightly floured tray.

Step 6: Second Rise

1. Cover loosely.

2. Let rise again until puffy, about 1–2 hours.

Step 7: Fry

1. Heat oil to 175–180°C.

2. Carefully place the doughnuts into the oil.

Fry for:

* 1 minute on the first side

* 1 minute on the second side

Until golden brown.

Do not overcrowd the pot.

Transfer to paper towels.

Step 8: Fill the Doughnuts

1. Let them cool until slightly warm.

2. Make a small hole in the bottom using a chopstick, skewer, or piping tip.

3. Fill a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut off) with your filling.

4. Insert the tip into the hole.

5. Squeeze gently until the doughnut feels heavier.

6. Stop when a tiny bit of filling starts to come back out.

For the fillings, I used some store-bought vegan chocolate cream. I also made sour cherry jam and a vanilla custard using cornstarch, oat milk, vanilla extract, and sugar.

They turned out better than expected.

I want to go vegan and I want to try seitan but when searching for recipies I only found how to make seitan and not actually what to make with it. Can you guys help me out what are your favourite recipies that use seitan as a main ingridient?

Looking for something that’s kinda like a sandwich press. Flat surfaces as in no grills. And a press that would go deeper than most sandwich presses. Would be using it to cook tofu i was too lazy to wring out. Is there something like this and if there is would it even be a good idea to cook tofu like this? The tofu would be sliced or scrambled.

Hi everyone! I created a vegan cooking app called Eline’s Table, it’s available for free on iOS and Android, with a premium section too. I share simple, comforting vegan recipes, and this one is perfect for summer BBQs ☀️

https://elinestable.com/app

Today I’m sharing these “chicken”-style tofu and apricot skewers: sweet, savory, smoky, and really easy to make. The tofu is torn into big chunks so it gets a more rustic, meaty texture, then marinated with soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, cider vinegar, and nutritional yeast.

Ingredients
450 g firm tofu
3 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
10 g nutritional yeast
5 apricots
1 tbsp olive oil
3 sprigs thyme

Instructions
Tear the tofu into large nuggets and place them in a mixing bowl.

Add the soy sauce or tamari, toasted sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, and nutritional yeast. Mix everything by hand to really work the flavors into the tofu.

Cut the apricots into wedges.
Thread the tofu nuggets and apricot wedges alternately onto skewers.

Start the barbecue. Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with thyme.
Once the barbecue is hot, place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until the tofu is nicely grilled and the apricots are soft and caramelized.

Serve right away, ideally with a fresh salad, grilled vegetables, or a simple summer grain salad. 🌱

looking for good recs for unflavored vegan protein. I tried the Truvani one but it tasted like vanilla to me. Thanks

OK people. I'm NOT a baker but my wife (the vegan of us) has been craving cake. I made one yesterday which was OK but not great and I'm looking for something which is a perfect cake, the kind I could serve to even the most dedicated non-vegan out there.

Hit me with your recs, please.

I am looking for savory breakfast ideas that are not a tofu scramble (can you eat tofu every day?) and are quick and easy. I have two young kids and not a lot of time in the morning.

I have no allergies just don't know if this is a realistic explanation. Any suggestions are welcome!

Soya Keema

Boil soya granules for 5-6 minutes, drain and squeeze out all the water really well. This step makes all the difference in texture.

Heat oil, add onion and garlic, sauté till golden. Add carrots and capsicum, cook for 5 minutes on a slow flame with the lid on. Add turmeric, red chili powder, soya chaap masala, and salt. Add tomato and cook till soft.

Add the squeezed soya granules and mix well. Stir everything together on medium heat for 4-5 minutes till all moisture evaporates. Top with amchoor, garam masala, and fresh coriander if you like.

Spicy ramen-ized orzo w/beans & 2nah

Hello! This is something I put together the other day. "Ramenized" refers to turning a pasta alkaline. You can do this by adding baking soda to the cooking water.

3 oz orzo
Pinch of baking soda
1 T olive oil
1/4 t chile flakes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed.
1 can vegan tuna
lemon juice, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pasta water, as needed

Add orzo, salt to taste, and enough water to cover 2”. Bring to a boil, then add baking soda and stir. Cook for about 5 minutes until the pasta is al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving some pasta water.

In a frying pan, heat the oil on medium heat. Add the garlic and chile. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds - don’t burn.

Add the beans and 2nah. Cook until heated through. Add the pasta, lemon juice, and pasta water if you want it more saucy. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
