Hot Maple Tofu Bites (Vegan Recipe)
These hot maple tofu bites are addictive and perfect to snack on! The hot maple glaze (or sauce) is a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. The pieces of tofu are dipped in a batter then coated in a bread crumb mix before being cooked to a golden brown crisp. You can then opt to serve the glaze by pouring it over the tofu and mixing well to coat each piece when ready to enjoy or have it as a dipping sauce. This is also a vegan take on hot honey - but instead of honey I used maple syrup, which has very distinct flavors that pair so well with the other elements of the sauce/glaze.

Vegan Longganisa (Filipino Sausages)
Longganisa is a type of Filipino sausage distinct for its sweet and garlicky flavors. It’s a very popular breakfast food in the Philippines, but can be enjoy any time of the day. I grew up eating what we'd call 'Longsilong' which was basically Longganisa (for the 'long'), garlic fried rice or 'sinangag' (for 'si'), and an egg (itlog, for 'log'). It's very popular and is easily one of my favorite comfort foods. This vegan version of longganisa uses a mix of extra firm tofu or tokwa and minced mushrooms that I seasoned and shaped into small links before pan-frying to create a plant-based version of a Filipino classic.

Teriyaki Tofu Katsu
Crispy slabs of tofu katsu drizzled with some homemade teriyaki sauce that I thickened into a glaze. I enjoyed these with a bed of steamed short grain rice and some shredded cabbage then finished off with some togarashi or Japanese seven spice blend. This Teriyaki Tofu Katsu is inspired by Japanese donburi or rice bowls. There’s really something about eating in a large bowl filled with rice and your favourite meat (tofu in this case), finished off with a hearty sauce.
