Over 20 delicious and easy-to-prepare vegan tofu recipes that are inspired by takeout favorites. Gluten-Free and Nut-Free options.
A good takeout meal always hits the spot when you’re tired and don’t feel like cooking, but over the past few years I’ve been trying to make my takeout favorites at home because:
- It’s an easy way to save money
- You can adjust the ingredients to your specific needs and cravings
- A lot of the recipes are ready in just over 30 minutes, making them perfect weeknight dinners!
Ever since I started creating these Asian-inspired recipes I hardly ever order takeout! I decided to compile a list of all of my favorites to make browsing through them easier for you 🙂 Most of these recipes are inspired by Chinese takeout favorites, but there’s some Korean, Thai, and Vietnamese inspired-recipes as well!
Whether you’re craving a classic like Teriyaki Tofu and Orange Tofu or want to try something new like this Saucy Gochujang Tofu, we’ve got you covered! Keep scrolling to see all of the recipes, or use the Table of Contents below to jump to a specific section:
