Best 4 Tofu Pot Pie Recipes

TOFU VEGETABLE POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, celery, garlic, and tofu until onion is tender and translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Season with oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir flour into vegetable mixture; toss to coat.
• Slowly stir milk into vegetable mixture until thickened; about 5 minutes. Stir in vegetable broth; cook and stir until filling is thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in frozen vegetables. Fit one pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan.
• Pour filling into prepared pie crust. Top with second pie crust; crimp edges together to seal. Poke holes into top crust for ventilation during baking.
• Bake pie in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

TOFU POT PIE

Steps:

• Cook potato and carrot in a pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 10 minutes, drain, rinse and set aside.
• Put stock and tamari in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to low and whisk in the cornstarch-water mixture, simmer 2-3 minutes, stirring until thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat.
• Add the onion, cover and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the onion to the potatoes and carrots and mix in the tofu, corn and peas.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• For the crust, incorporate the salt into the flour, add the corn oil and with 2 butter knives cut the oil into the flour until crumbly and well incorporated.
• Add the water and mix until it forms a ball. (if it's too crumbly, add water by the tablespoonful until it comes together. different climates affect flour differently.).
• Divide the crust in two and on a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball until it is slightly larger than a 2-quart casserole dish.
• Place one half into the casserole dish, and put the vegetables on top.
• Place the second crust over the vegetables and crimp the edges.
• Bake until the filling is hot and bubbly and the crust is browned, about 45 minutes.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• p.s. someone asked a question whether to use silken or waterpacked. waterpacked/chinese-style is ideal, but it may still work if all you have is silken. or go ahead and omit the tofu altogether. it's an adaptable recipe.

VEGETABLE-TOFU POT PIE

Steps:

• First, saute the onion in vegetable oil or solid spread in a large pot until the onion turns translucent. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in about 8-10 ounces of hot water, and add potatoes and bouillon mixture to pot, cooking on medium heat and stirring frequently. After 5 minutes, add the tofu, the rest of the vegetables, the bay leaves, and garlic, and cover. Cook for 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are cooked through and the mixture is not too liquidy. If there is an excess of watery broth, leave the lid off for a while so some cooks off, or add a little flour to make it thicker. If there is no liquid and it seems dry, add a little more broth or water. Remove the bay leaves. When mixture is done, spoon it into the pie crust, and bake (open top) for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Make sure the crust does not burn.

BIG BISCUIT MUSHROOM AND TOFU POT PIE

Steps:

• Roasted Garlic: Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Cut off the top 1/4-inch of the garlic heads, then drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Wrap the heads tightly in aluminum foil, then place in the oven for 45 minutes. Squeeze cloves from the skins and reserve cloves.
• MAKE BISCUIT DOUGH:.
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Cut the butter into the flour mixture with a food processor, pastry cutter, or your hands. Add the milk and gently kneed until dough just comes together. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
• MAKE FILLING:.
• Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it simmers. Add onions, 2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, and saute until golden, about 15 minutes. Slice mushrooms and add to onions along with tofu, soy sauce, sage, thyme, and roasted garlic cloves, then cook, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid put off by mushrooms has evaporated, about 15 minutes.
• Whisk 3 tablespoons flour into vegetable or mushroom stock, then whisk into skillet with mushroom mixture. Bring liquid to a boil and boil until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer filling to 3-quart baking dish.
• BAKE POT PIE:.
• Line work surface with plastic wrap, then place dough on top and cover with another layer of plastic wrap. Roll dough into a rectangle 1 inch larger on all sides than baking dish. (Dough will be about 1 inch thick.) Using plastic wrap as a guide, transfer dough to top of filling. Cut 6 steam vents in dough, then brush with additional 2 tablespoons milk. Bake until dough is golden brown and filling is boiling, about 30 minutes. Let pot pie cool 10 minutes before serving.
