Steamed broccoli and mac & cheese (plant-based, gluten-free, oil-free) 💚
Talk about a pretty perfect pair!
This is simply cooked brown rice macaroni and my tofu-based cheese sauce that is largely modeled after the recipe shared by the vegan Atlanta diner 'Soul Vegetarian' that's been serving vegan food since 1979 (which I find quite remarkable). I think they shared their recipe like 13 YEARS ago. Mine's got lots of tofu, some acidic variety, and much MUCH less salt, but it's a real winning match of tasting great and feeling great.
You could add a pinch of annatto powder (achiote) or even turmeric if you want to hit commercial boxed colors, but I love the mild, creamy golden yellow personally. It reminds me it's going to be really tasty and not over the top salty or dairy-feeling.
This is just like the last time I shared it, the only diff is I weighed the garlics.
📌 Chz sauce (v2.0) — blend the following:
16oz block soft tofu
1/4 cup unsweetened soy milk
2 tbsp prepared yellow mustard (e.g. French's)
5 cloves garlic (15g)
3/4 cup nooch
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp white pepper
Briefly heat sauce and noodles together & enjoy!!!
