1. Bibimbap Casserole with Tofu

Instead of the bulgogi beef usually found in bibimbap, we made it into a tofu recipe with eggs for a hearty vegetarian version of the traditional Korean rice dish. This easy casserole packs a ton of flavor thanks to spicy-sweet mixture of gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste), soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey.

2. Spiced Tofu Spring Rolls

If you frequent your local Vietnamese restaurant, you have to try making your own spring rolls from scratch. The marinated bean curd takes on a chicken-like texture in this crispy tofu recipe after getting fried in a skillet. Wrapped in chewy rice paper with crunchy veggies and herbs, it’s the perfect vegetarian recipe to kick-off a meal.

3. Mushroom and Poblano Vegetarian Enchiladas

Give your tofu a kick with some poblano peppers in this quick and easy Mexican dish that comes together in 30 minutes flat. Top your vegetarian enchiladas with some fresh tomato and green onion or take it a step further and make some homemade guac.

4. Hoisin-Glazed Tofu and Green Beans

Hoisin sauce is a thick, tangy-sweet sauce that creates a delicious glaze for this tofu recipe. You’ll find it in the Asian section or condiment aisle of larger grocery stores as well as your local Asian market. For a complete meal, serve the tofu and green beans over hot cooked rice or rice noodles.

5. Crispy Tofu “Stir-Fry”

Missing your favorite Asian takeout dish but trying to cut out the grease? This is the stir-fry recipe for you. Instead of actually frying up the tofu, we’ve given it a run in the air fryer ($150, Bed Bath & Beyond) to get all nice and crispy. Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the salt levels in this air fryer tofu recipe down.

6. Spicy Tofu Lettuce Wraps

If you’ve enjoyed chicken-filled lettuce wraps at your local Asian restaurant, you’ll be shocked to find tofu takes on a similar flavor and texture in this meatless version. Not only does it come together quickly (just 20 minutes!), it’s a really healthy snack. Each wrap contains just 88 calories, 2 g total fat, and a whopping 5 g of protein! Now that you’ve actually enjoyed eating tofu, it’s time to take a chance on some other plant-based proteins. Get a rich and meaty umami flavor by making mushrooms the main star of your vegetarian dinner. Or try making some pulled jackfruit for an unforgettable vegan BBQ.
