Vegan Recipe Rec

[muscle_wizard]

My favorite vegan dessert is this Salted Chocolate Cream Tart!

It being no bake earns it sooo many points and I have made it multiple times. I really love it and it's one of the few coconut based desserts where you don't only taste coconut (altho I do like coconut.) I hope you enjoy if you give it a try!

A delicious very carrot heavy recipe https://www.themediterraneandish.com/roasted-carrot-soup/ Including the carrot roasting time, it's about an hour, but the soup itself is pretty fast. I've made it with various kinds of plant milks and it comes out great. If you don't have an immersion blender just putting it into a blender worked fine for me.

If you like milk and starch, https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13043/old-fashioned-potato-soup/ also works great with plant oils and various plant milks (I've been making it regularly to use up whatever milk was getting old) and is also pretty forgiving of swapping around vegetables or adding a lot more of one. I like to make it with a lot of extra onion. I've made it thick enough it's basically a savory pudding.

https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/vegan-corn-chowder/ Mildly sweet savory dish. Milk and corn just goes great together. This really wants people to chop fresh corn but frozen kernels absolutely work fine.

https://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-recipe/braised-red-cabbage-with-apples-and-pecans/ another one that's about an hour, but you can cut that down a lot if you cook it at high at the start while stirring a lot, then once everything's soft and the liquid boils down, turn it down to low and let it sit with occasional stirring. Just be sure to add some more splashes of water if anything looks like it's sticking. Also, if you like coconut oil, I found using a lot more coconut oil than suggested not only makes it easy to cook it fast but also makes the finished dish taste richer. If you prefer crisper apples, you can also add the apple in near the end.

For more cabbage there's https://www.seriouseats.com/colcannon-recipe-11694899 with green cabbage. I thought the cooked cabbage gave a really nice texture to the potatoes. Works with plant milks just fine.

https://www.seriouseats.com/dry-fried-chow-fun-with-chinese-broccoli-recipe I enjoyed this and found it pretty tasty even if I didn't cook the ingredients separately and otherwise do all the stuff to get authentic charring. "Chinese broccoli" is also known as gai lan. If you can't find it, broccolini/baby broccoli, a hybrid between it and broccoli, is a better substitute than the big floret standard broccoli. If you do go with regular broccoli I'd suggest breaking it into really small pieces, since the problem isn't flavor but the lump shape. If you don't mind strongly bitter veggies, I've also used broccoli rabe/rapini. A lot of vegan oyster sauce involves mushrooms, so if you want to avoid that, adding more black bean sauce and thick soy sauce instead has worked for me when I was missing oyster sauce.

https://lovingitvegan.com/vegan-meringue/#recipe Using aquafaba/chickpea water to make vegan meringues. It comes together fast, but the oven cooking and resting time are several hours.

https://thebigmansworld.com/2-ingredient-peanut-butter-cookies/ Like a lot of two ingredient/super simple recipes, it's a bit janky but it is easy and a great way to use up a lot of peanut butter.

https://www.blenderbabes.com/lifestyle-diet/dairy-free/refreshing-simple-strawberry-cucumber-smoothie/ Really any sort of strawberry smoothie is going to be good, but this was really refreshing and I ended up drinking it a bunch over the summer, although I made it without the extra ice (and also more honey). Leaving the skin on the cucumbers does mean it's more chunky than without. If you want it smoother skinning the cucumbers first is a good idea. You can also stick a banana in there if it's not filling enough, or add in mint to be more refreshing.

A simple but fun thing is candy grapes. Wet the grape and then roll it in a sweet jello powder of some kind, then let it sit for a bit, or freeze it. If you don't have boxed vegan jellos around, I think it'd also work if you mix up agar-agar gel, use that to wet the grapes, and then roll in a sugar/citric acid mix.

And not a full recipe but a hack I've found to work surprisingly well is that if you're making instant ramen, you can get a broth similar to traditional ones by mixing a tablespoon of mayo in with warm water. I've been doing this with a plant mayo and it still worked fine. Apparently for a more authentic taste you should mix in rice vinegar and sugar at the ratio of roughly 1 tbs mayo to 1/4 tsp rice vinegar to 1/8 tsp sugar to make it closer to the Kewpie mayo originally used, and when I tried that it did add some nice depth to the flavor.
