Five-Spiced Tofu with Brussels Sprouts and Thai Basil Black Pepper
This tofu dish is one of nine courses Chef Peng S. Looi created for a family reunion-style meal, inspired by the Chinese dishes in Malaysia. The Chinese traditionally celebrate the Lunar New Year with an extravagant multi-course feast served family-style, but Chef Looi plated the dishes individually in light of 2021’s pandemic restrictions.

Tofu Breakfast Sandwich
Change up the usual egg-filled breakfast sandwich with a vegan alternative—tofu. Chef Kerri Rush creates a patty that closely resembles a traditional omelet by blending the tofu with soymilk, chick pea flour and spices. It’s cooked, then layered on a toasted English muffin with spinach and tomato and topped with a vegan sauce made with sweet potatoes, silken tofu and cashews for a nutrient-dense breakfast to go.

Lavender-Infused Walnut Milk
Plant-based milks made from nuts, oats and other nondairy ingredients are widely available commercially, but it’s simple to make walnut milk from scratch. Chef Dave Martin creates this creamy, light beverage by steeping walnuts and aromatic lavender in boiling water, then blending the drained mixture with filtered water. Vanilla, honey and sea salt balance the flavors. Click to see recipe.
