Vegan Pineapple Stir-Fry
Looking for a sexy tip? Don’t eat out so damn much. This was one of the dishes that helped me switch over to a diet fueled by home cooking. Yup, It’s one of my old standbys for sure. I started making it years ago when Beastie Vegan and I were first dating and I definitely used it to knock her socks off a few times. It’s had lots of permutations, but this one is one of my favorites. The plum sauce really drives it home. If you love this one as much as we do, don’t forget to have some fun experimenting with it!

Here’s a nice little vegan pineapple stir fry recipe that’s sure to get your mouth watering. It’s very quick, aside from the tofu. The tofu is pretty damn easy though, so nothing to complain about. Plum sauce is a featured ingredient in this one. If you want to kick it up a notch, make your own plum sauce. I wasn’t up for it this time around, so I went with the Sky Valley Plum Sauce. They make a line of delicious sauces that are non-gmo, organic, and vegan so hats off to them. With this one, remember to cook the vegetables to your desired firmness and add the soy until it tastes right to you. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple
- 1 onion
- 5 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 lbs mushroom
- 1 can of bamboo shoots
- 1 can of water chestnuts
- 1/2 lbs pea pods
- 1 stalk of broccoli
- 1 package of firm tofu
- 1/4 bottle of plum sauce
- 6 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
Instructions
- Freeze the tofu in the container, then thaw and drain. This makes it nice and porous so it can soak up the marinade. Then throw it in a container with some plum sauce. it doesn't need to be swimming in it. Leave it for at least a few hours and then preheat the oven to 350 and start to bake it. I usually start baking it about a half hour before I start cooking. After a several minutes in the oven, some of the marinade will drain out of the tofu. Let it cook off and then start to flip the tofu until it's golden on both sides. Make sure the tofu doesn't dry out completely.
- Heat two tablespoons of olive oil in a pan and put in the onions and garlic. Saute them for about 3 minutes.
- Add the broccoli florets and stems. Saute for about 4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms, pineapple, water chestnuts, bamboo, and soy sauce. Saute for about 5 minutes.
- Add the peas and saute for another 3 minutes and remove from heat.
- Top with tofu and serve with noodles and plum sauce.
Notes
- Goes great with the buckwheat soba

These BBQ tofu sandwiches are simple, cheap, and delicious. We’ve been experimenting with marinading tofu and are hooked. Top with whatever you like, but we love ours with shredded lettuce, pickles and onions. Serve them with your choice of classic BBQ sides like some baked beans, mac, and slaw.

Ingredients
- 2 packages of firm tofu
- BBQ sauce
- buns
- shredded lettuce
- an onion
- pickles
Instructions
- Start by marinating the tofu. First we like to freeze it overnight while still in the package. Take it out the next day and let it thaw, then remove from the package and drain the water out of the tofu. This makes it porous so that it can soak up more marinade. Now it's time to cut each block of tofu into quarters and let them marinade in BBQ sauce for at least 6 hours. The longer, the better. We love Organicville Tangy BBQ sauce and usually use about half the bottle as marinade.
- Next, bake the tofu. After preheating the oven to 350, remove the tofu pieces from the marinade and place in a large pan. Flip the tofu in ten minutes, then every five minutes until each side gets toasted. Then put a coating of BBQ Sauce on each side and bake for another few minutes and remove from the oven.
- Now just put the sandwiches together. We like to toast the buns and put a little sauce on each side. Tofu on the bottom, then comes the shredded lettuce, pickles and onions. Enjoy!
