    tofu and vegetable stew served in a bowl

    My kitchen is a laboratory of vegetarian meals. These days, I'm still experimenting with new ingredients, new meal ideas, and revisiting classic dishes to make vegetarian versions. Last week, I wanted a comforting hot meal, and nothing is better than a good stew to get better!

    This stew is so consistent and comforting that it has even been gobbled up by my family members who aren't vegetarian! The taste is amazing, the texture is interesting, and it has great nutritional value.

    Tofu and Vegetable Stew FAQs

    Why use tofu to replace meat?

    Because of the tofu in the recipe, this stew provides plant-based protein to the body. Tofu is the traditional meat substitute that comes to mind when considering vegetarianism or a meatless diet. Despite its neutral taste and soy composition, the tofu quickly absorbs the flavor of the food with which it is prepared!

      FYI, in the United States and Canada, people refer to the leaves of Coriandrum sativum as "cilantro" and the seed/fruit as "coriander." The pictures make it pretty clear what you mean, but someone might get confused.
