Pad Thai Tofu

Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Vegan

This classic Thai dish lends itself well to substitutions. Double the agave nectar for a sweeter version or add more red pepper flakes to spice it up. We call for pressed, baked tofu, but you can also use plain extra firm tofu.
Serves 4

* 8 oz rice noodles (1/4 inch wide)
* 3 TB gluten-free reduced-sodium soy sauce
* 1 TB fresh lemon juice
* 1/2 TB to 1 TB agave nectar
* 1/4 to 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
* 2 TB expeller pressed peanut oil
* 2 TB minced garlic
* 8 oz Oriental-style baked tofu, cut into ¼ inch slices
* 4 scallions, sliced into 1-inch pieces
* 1 cup mung bean sprouts
* 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
* 1/2 cup finely chopped dry-roasted peanuts
* 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Place rice noodles in bowl and add enough cold water to cover. Soak for 45 minutes. Drain. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add soaked noodles and cook until just tender, about one minute. Drain.

In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, agave nectar and red pepper flakes, if using. Set aside.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic to skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tofu and scallions, and cook three minutes or until scallions are tender and bright green.

Add noodles, bean sprouts, and soy sauce mixture. Gently toss to combine. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro and peanuts. Garnish with lemon wedges.

My website has loads on http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk my favourite is:

Sun-dried tomato and mushroom flan

Ingredients

vegan puff pastry
10 mushrooms
sun-dried tomato paste
soya milk
sauce flour
vegetable oil
salt
pepper

Grease a flan dish and cut a ½ cm thick piece of pastry that will fit into the dish and place it in it. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.

Peel the mushroom and chop them into quarters. Fry them in 2 tablespoons oil until they go golden brown. Add 2 tablespoons of sauce flour and 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato paste and stir. Slowly add milk until the sauce just becomes as runny as you would expect the milk to be. Warm through for 5 minutes stirring well. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper.

Pour the mixture into the flan dish and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes – until the pastry at the edges is risen and golden brown. Stand for 30 minutes before serving.

My 14 year old daughter wants to be a vegetarian and being the supportive, cool mom that I am, I make her these tostatas that she loves. My "meat 'n taters" hubby even likes them. I fry corn tortillas in hot oil until crisp and top them with hot refried beans, cheese, lettuce, salsa and sour cream. yum yum.
