Easy Weeknight Cashew Alfredo

Description

To celebrate National Ravioli Day on March 20th in plant-based style, we wanted to dress up our Tofu Ravioli with a little something special. So instead of heading down a red-sauce rabbit hole, we sought out the perfect vegan alfredo sauce for a weeknight dinner. By combining a few recipes, we came up with our take on a creamy, dairy-free white sauce to pair with either variety of SoyBoy Tofu Ravioli. For the purpose of the photos, we used Verde ravioli on this occasion.

Servings: 3

Instructions

  1. Soak cashews overnight for 4-12 hours or bring water to a boil, remove from heat, and soak cashews for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Drain soaked cashews and add to the bowl of a food processor.
  3. To the food processor, also add arrowroot starch (for thickening), nutritional yeast, garlic, salt, vegan parmesan cheese, and 2 cups of almond milk.
  4. Blend on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Gradually add more almond milk until sauce reaches a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt, garlic, nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan.
  5. Transfer to a skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, whisking frequently. The sauce should thicken and bubble. Add more almond milk if needed to thin, or cook longer to thicken.
  6. Enjoy atop SoyBoy Tofu Ravioli, adding Vegan Parmesan Cheese and roasted vegetables.

Instant Pot Vegan Tempeh Chili

Description

Do you love your Instant Pot because it makes everything easier? This versatile vegan chili recipe will magnify that love by giving you a warming winter meal that’s insanely easy to make. Just grab a couple of packs of SoyBoy organic tempeh, get out the cheese grater, and fire up that chili mode. We think the Instant Pot seals in all the flavors and improves the texture of the beans. With an extra pinch of this and that, you can make this one just the way you like it.

Servings: 4-6

Instructions

  1. Set the Instant Pot to “saute.” Cook olive oil, tempeh, and all vegetables except the beans. If at the end of 9 minutes (default “saute” setting) vegetables aren’t soft, add more time.
  2. Set the Instant Pot to “bean & chili.” Mix in all remaining ingredients and cook for 15 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Top with your choice of garnish and serve.

General Tso’s Tempeh

Description

Our two varieties of organic tempeh pair incredibly well with savory sauces. This at-home vegan version of a spicy Chinese take-out favorite is likely to become a staple on your family’s dinner rotation. If you like your meals on the saucy side, or if you’ll be heating up the leftovers, consider doubling the sauce ingredients. Just don’t forget to take out the spicy chili peppers before serving!

Servings: 4

Instructions

  1. Cut the tempeh into 1”x1” chunks and place in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the cornstarch, paprika, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice wine, and soy sauce to the bowl. Mix until incorporated. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  3. Add cooking oil to a wok-style pan on medium-high heat and fry tempeh until browned on both sides. Remove from pan.
  4. In the same pan, add in oil and sesame oil and warm on medium-high heat.
  5. Add the garlic, ginger, and chilis and cook for about 1 minute.
  6. Add the tomato paste and vegetable broth, and stir until incorporated, then add soy sauce and rice vinegar and stir until incorporated.
  7. For the cornstarch slurry, mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl until it has the texture of a paste. Add the cornstarch slurry into sauce mixture and stir until sauce thickens.
  8. Return the tempeh to the pan and allow to incorporate with the sauce.
  9. To garnish, top with sesame seeds (optional).

Carolina Kale with Black-Eyed Peas & Spicy Buffalo Veggie Bacon

Description

This vegan recipe for a classic Southern-Style vegetable side dish substitutes SoyBoy's Spicy Buffalo Veggie Bacon for Tabasco Sauce. Hint: Serve with rice as a main meal or family style as a side dish.

Servings: 8-12

Instructions

  1. Add 2 - 3 Tbs vegetable oil to a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick pan on medium-high heat, add the sliced bacon, and cook to brown and crisp up, stirring occasionally and adding more oil as needed.
  2. Remove that pan from the heat. Place another large, deep, heavy-bottomed pan on medium high heat, add a splash of vegetable oil, and sauté the onion, stirring occasionally, to soften.
  3. While you’re keeping your eye on the onion, peel and carefully cut one small-to medium-sized yam into ½-inch cubes.
  4. Once the onion is soft, add the garlic and cook that for 30 seconds or so, and then add 1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes and 1 15-ounce can of black-eyed peas, add the diced yam, add 1 - 1½ cups of vegetable broth, and bring it up to a simmer.
  5. Add the kale in batches, adding more as it wilts down until it’s all in the pot. Continue to cook everything along at a steady simmer, adding a little more broth if you need to, until the yam is cooked through.
  6. Fold in the spicy bacon, season to taste, and serve.
