Menemen (Turkish-Style Scrambled Eggs With Tomatoes, Onions, and Chilies)

After a week and a half in Turkey, this was the one dish that my sister, my wife, and I were consistently craving. Menemen is a dish of eggs scrambled just until barely set, mixed with tomatoes, chilies, and tons of olive oil. I love to eat it with a side of salty cheese, olives, and some good crusty bread.

Vegan Migas (Mexican-Style Fried Tortillas With Tofu)

On weekends, I want something for breakfast that I can really dig into—something that wouldn't feel out of place with a Bloody Mary or a michelada on the side. Enter vigas. That'd be vegan migas (and I'm only a little bit sorry for the terrible wordplay). Migas, the Tex-Mex dish of eggs scrambled with fried tortillas, onions, and chilies, is nearly ideal for veganizing because of the way the eggs are treated.

Vegan Chorizo for Omnivores

I wanted to make a vegan chorizo recipe that doesn't just come close to regular chorizo in the flavor department, but outright nails it. I wanted a meat-free chorizo with textural contrast up the wazoo, and a chorizo that changes texture as you cook it just like its meat-based counterpart. I wanted a chorizo that is tangy, rich, and complex.

Home-Style Tofu with Mushrooms, Spinach, and Fermented Black Beans

Home-style bean curd is one of those humble recipes that has as many variations as cooks. That's probably because it takes a bunch of simple ingredients and makes them taste robust, meaty, and much more filling than they have any right to be. We have fermented black beans to thank for this.

Scrambled Eggs With Sumac, Pine Nuts, and Parsley

Crunchy toasted pine nuts and lemony sumac are great partners for eggs scrambled softly in extra-virgin olive oil.

Vegan Mapo Tofu: Easy Recipe! - The Woks of Life

Spicy, delicious mapo tofu is usually made with ground pork, but for this vegan recipe, we use chopped shiitake mushrooms and haven't sacrificed any umami!

Vegan Carbonara Pasta

A vegan version of pasta carbonara that's silky and rich, dotted with meaty bits, plus the characteristic lactic tang of Pecorino Romano, but with no dairy products whatsoever.

Spicy Hunan Steamed Tofu & Mushrooms (VEGAN!) - The Woks of Life

This Chinese steamed tofu recipe is packed with flavor from caramelized oyster mushrooms and a spicy Hunan chili sauce with ginger, garlic, and scallions.

Hearty Vegan Polenta and Kale Soup With Miso and Toasted Sesame Oil

This easy one-pot polenta and kale soup hails from Italy, but we give it a distinctly Japanese twist: In place of the Parmesan called for in a traditional recipe, we finish ours up with the addition of miso paste, soy sauce, and scallions. It's savory, rich, and 100% vegan.

Stovetop Eggplant With Harissa, Chickpeas, and Cumin Yogurt

Eggplants have always been a difficult vegetable for me. They come in different shapes, sizes, colors, and stripes and are surrounded by dos and don'ts. But with enough delicious recipes under your belt, it's pretty easy to overlook the post-cooking appearance and realize that all those dos and don'ts are really more suggestions than hard-and-fast rules. This recipe, which combines small Italian eggplants cooked whole in olive oil along with harissa, chickpeas, and tomatoes, is one such preparat...
