Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Frozen corn
- 2 cups Mushroom gravy
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and chop the russet potatoes into large chunks. Place in a pot of salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add almond milk, vegan butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Press the tofu using a clean towel to remove excess moisture. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
In a shallow bowl, combine cornstarch, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss the tofu cubes in this mixture to coat evenly.
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry tofu cubes until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 10 minutes. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
Steam or microwave the frozen corn until heated through, about 5 minutes.
In serving bowls, scoop a generous portion of mashed potatoes. Top with crispy tofu, a serving of corn, and ladle over mushroom gravy.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your vegan homemade famous bowl with warm and comforting flavors.
