Vegan Tofu "Egg" Foo Young Recipe - A vegan version of Chinese egg foo young, using tofu instead of eggs.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 6-8 green onions, sliced
  • 1 8 ounce can water chestnuts, sliced
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cups bean sprouts
  • 1 1/2 blocks firm tofu + 1/2 block
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 2 tsp baking powder

Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.

In a large skillet or wok, sautee the snow peas, mushrooms, green onions and water chestnuts in sesame oil for 3 to 5 minutes. Add the bean sprouts and cook for another minute.

In a blender or food processor, process the 1 1/2 blocks of tofu and the soy sauce until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in by hand the remaining 1/2 block tofu, flour, nutritional yeast and baking powder. Add the vegetables and mix well.

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mixture onto a baking sheet and gently flatten to about 1/2 inch thick. Continue making patties, using all of the mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes, then turn each patty over and cook for another 15 minutes.
