Tofu Pot Pie Recipes

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.

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.
