These vegan ribs are a showstopper. I made these ribs for one of my closest, pickiest friends. She is someone that will tell you the real, really quickly. Not to my surprise, she absolutely loved these ribs! And for that reason, they are absolutely the meal to bring to any vegan skeptic because they are mind-blowingly flavorful and “meaty.” I also strongly suggest this recipe to anyone struggling during a vegan transition.

Growing up in a home with a Japanese grandfather meant we always had steamed rice on hand. Before leftover rice became too hard in the fridge, my grandma would prepare a quick stir-fry with some vegetables and soy sauce. This Asparagus and Rice Stir-Fry by Toni Okamoto is an homage to them both and never fails to conjure up fond memories of my childhood. Excerpted from Plant-Based on a Budget: Quick and Easy (BenBella Books).
6. Chilaquiles

This Chilaquiles by Emani Corcran is so easy to make and it’s a crowd favorite. I make this when I am craving a savory breakfast. Traditionally this dish is served with eggs, but I make mine with tofu and it’s absolutely delicious. This is the perfect meal to make for a slow morning at home!

Tempeh is one obliviously of my favorite proteins to work with, and I’ve found it makes the best little sliders. These Sriracha Tempeh Sliders With Ranch Dressing by Ayinde Howell are great are because you get about 4 per standard package of tempeh. Since living in LA, these lil’ guys have become a staple in my catering arsenal. Here is a hint: you can replace the sriracha with BBQ sauce if it’s too hot you!

8. Egyptian Eggplant Moussaka

Egyptian Moussaka is traditionally made with ground meat, so this recipe substitutes it with diced mushrooms. Hidden in the delicate eggplant layers are currants which add a touch of sweetness. You could also add some sliced toasted almonds which would create a great crunch pairing perfectly with the cooked soft veggies in this Egyptian Eggplant Moussaka by Taavi Moore.
9. Siopao

This cashew-based dressing is creamy but so refreshing! This Copycat Ranch: Creamy Cucumber Herb Dressing by Lindsay Clarke is a very cooling dip or topping that could be brilliantly paired with spicy foods. What you do with this dressing is entirely up to you. Try it on salads, in wraps, and over cooked veggies (and pizza, of course).
