Tofu

I love egg foo yung, but wanted to veganize it. This looks like just the thing! Baked instead of pan-fried, it's so much better and flavorful than the eggy version. It's good with or without the gravy. Black salt has a slightly sulfur taste like hard boiled eggs. You can leave it out if you wish. From chowvegan.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 patties

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 fresh shiitake mushrooms, chopped
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 medium leek, white and some green part, chopped
3 ounces water chestnuts
1 teaspoon oil
1 (14 ounce) package extra firm tofu
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon black salt (also known as Sanchal or kala namak, or use mineral salt)
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 stalk green onion, chopped, for garnish
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse the tofu, wrap in paper towels and place a heavy weight on top. Press for about an hour. While the tofu is pressing, chop the vegetables.
  • Heat a wok to hot. When hot, add the oil and swirl to coat the wok. Add the celery and leeks, sauté for a few minutes, add the mushrooms and water chestnuts and cook for another minute or so. Place in a bowl and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Crumble the tofu, add the rest of the ingredients and blend well together. Scoop out a 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape into a patty on a oiled baking sheet. Brush the top of each patty with oil, flip over and brush the other side. Bake for 15 minutes, gently flip over and bake another 15 minutes.
  • To make the gravy, heat the broth with the soy sauce and sugar. Combine the cornstarch with a little bit of cold water and mix until smooth. When the broth comes to a boil, slowly add the cornstarch mixture and stir to desired thickness.
  • Top the foo yung with gravy and garnish with the green onions, serve immediately.
