Carbonara Zoodles

This recipe is a vegan knock-off of the Italian carbonara pasta, which is classically made with bacon and eggs. It has a rich and creamy consistency, while still feeling like a light meal because the pasta is substituted with zucchini. The smoked tofu tastes similar to bacon, so I was even able to impress an avid meat eater with this :)

Spicy Szechuan Lettuce Wraps

The inspiration for these lettuce wraps came from an appetizer I had (before I was vegan) at Cactus Club in Vancouver, CA. It is a spicy chicken lettuce wrap and tastes mindblowingly amazing (no exaggeration). Since I wouldn't want to live without these for the rest of my life, I knew I had to try and reproduce a vegan version of those wraps!
