What are some vegetarian meals or dishes you think people should know about?
I’m pretty guilty of using meat as a crutch in most of my cooking. I’d love to hear about some good meals for inspiration. Ideally things that aren’t made to imitate/replace meat but exist well on their own.


Air fry some tofu seasoned with garlic powder and soy sauce, add cornstarch at 400 for something like 15 minutes, use that in a noodle stir fry (teriyaki is easy enough)
I’m also a sucker for eggplant Parm
I’ve been trying to get tofu worth the effort for years with no luck. Mapo tofu being the best so far.
I haven’t tried air frying it yet, though. So I’m definitely trying that one.
Technically I got the idea from here: https://www.kulaskitchen.com/all-recipes/crispy-honey-garlic-tofu-coconut-rice but to make it for any stir fry I’ve simplified it down to garlic powder and soy sauce
My husband who’s a resolute meat eater loves my air fried tofu and actually asks for it. I use homemade teriyaki sauce.
