Description
A vegan twist on a classic comfort dish, featuring crumbled firm tofu in a savory broth with soft, pillowy dumplings and mixed vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 block of firm tofu, crumbled
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (for dumplings)
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Heat a large pot over medium heat. Drain and crumble the tofu, dice the onion, and mince the garlic. Prepare the mixed vegetables and broth.
- Sautéing Aromatics and Tofu: Add olive oil to the pot. Once hot, add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent (4-5 mins). Add crumbled tofu, cook for 3-4 mins, and season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Simmering the Vegetables and Broth: Add mixed vegetables and pour in vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle simmer, tasting and adjusting seasonings as necessary.
- Mixing and Adding Dumplings: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in almond milk until just combined. Drop dollops of batter onto simmering broth. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes without lifting the lid.
Notes
For best results, use firm tofu and do not overmix the dumpling batter. Adjust seasonings to taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
