Hiya, I started tirzepatide recently and am just collecting easy prep high protein meals I can make and forget about until I need them. It’s also a good opportunity since I’m getting my diet in order to try to shift more vegan - and I know this place is a treasure trove of vegan recipes.
Anything high protein, easy to batch prepare, and vegan would be much appreciated!
Sorry i’ve been off work for 2 weeks and my brain does this thing where facts that aren’t immediately relevant to me disappear into an abyss only to occasionally resurface in the mire of my thoughts
Tofu is good, it seems like a witch food though in that everybody has their own weird arcane way to make it. My weird way to make it is to dice it up and then marinate it overnight in 50/50 soy sauce and water, sometimes some stock if i’m feeling sexy. You’d think pressing it would make it absorb more flavor but it doesn’t, i think it just affects the texture, i skip that shit. The soy sauce gives it a nice savory flavor and pleasing exterior when fried. I dilute it because if I don’t it’s way too salty.
Drain it, dry it, love it, fry it until it’s a nice golden brown on all sides
It should look kinda like if a breadless chicken nugget were a cube
Now toss them in this shit 《《《《GOOD HARISSA RECIPE (maybe add a little more garlic)
They’re done now but you can also maybe bake them in the oven for 7-10 minutes if you actually don’t like how the texture turned out
Now you’ve got harissa fried tofu
What i’d do with it after that is get some nice slivered cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and fine diced celery, toss it all in some kinda aioli, and then load all of it into tortillas
The last time i made these i did a spicy Buffalo ranch aioli and it was good but it was definitely 20% past Ideal White People Spicy ™ with the harissa too. Also a pound of tofu made two thicc wraps
